Out: Smith, Sparrow, Melksham

In: May, Viney, McDonald

We rarely make multiple changes  particularly coming off a win, but I think these are clear upgrades from our 22 today.

Good game from Smith as well, perhaps Hibberd might feel nervous.

Doesn’t Viney have another week?

Edit: nope.

Just put Brayshaw in the middle for a bit - he's a natural midfielder, and I know he's been doing a great job defensively on that wing, but I reckon he'd be better in the middle than Harmes/Sparrow combined. Who goes on the wing? Harmes? Viney?

Out: sparrow, Jordan 

In: may and tmac/Viney  

I reckon keep smith in

and put Brayshaw  more in the middle and move rivers or salem in his spot on the wing

Agree, one minor modification!
Smith played pretty well, possibly stays as medi-sub, VDB out.

Think he missed last and alt his week, so good to replace Sparrow!

The most obvious one is May for Smith. I'll admit I'm terribly biased against him but I didn't rate that game from Smith anywhere near as highly as others. Hasn't curbed his desire to run and push up the ground but was caught out of position a number of times by losing track of his opponent, getting sucked up the ground and then burnt on transition. Very handy depth and good to get a game into him pre-finals if we need him, but he goes straight out if May's fit.

We're better with Viney than we are with Sparrow or Jordon based on their games today, so I think that's a second change.

TMac should come back in as well, then the question becomes whether it's the other of Sparrow/Jordon, or Melksham. 

Brayshaw didn't get near it all day but having played all season, and with the ball on the other wing for lots of the game, I'd be surprised if he gets dropped now.

Nope, done his 2.

Sparrow and Jordon both omitted, Smith to make way for May (played well so unfortunate but credit where it’s due).

Melksham, Brayshaw put on notice.

If the Bye week gets cancelled then I reckon we should consider a rest for one or two of Jordan, Kozzie, Salem

Could run Jones in, preserve Smith, and maybe leave Sparrow in (although he's out for finals)

Salem's been sore for weeks


In. Viney TMAC and May

Out. Melksham Sparrow Hibberd.

If TMAC is not 100% right then the weed.

No weed.....  we have shown the last 3 weeks we don't need him

IN...: Viney, McDonald, May
OUT: Sparrow, Spargo, Hibberd

No way.

I like Spargo, don't get me wrong. Probably Melksham in reality.


I think its pretty clear cut. Anyone sore other that needs to be managed like May this week. 

May for Smith

Viney for Sparrow

TMac for Melksham

i'm not sure why they played Salem today to be fair if that is the case

I can't see them managing people if top 2 are on the line.   Home final in Perth for top or away in Adelaide for 3rd.

 

I think the bigger question is what do we do if dogs beat port do we then make some late changes to give some a rest, like bringing in daw for Gawn or giving trac a rest, or do we not flirt with it and go all out to win 

Smith not good enough out MAY in

T Mac in

Kossie out Jones in

Melksham stays

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
