Wonder if they'll pull a surprise selection? Dropping Hibberd for May instead of Joel Smith?

Hibberd dropped

No j agree. Just know the club rate Smith enormously and would be finding ways to fit him in.

You were right. Hibbo out. Smith still in. 
I’m confused.

I don’t know how Sparrow is in ahead of JJ. Unless JJ is sore he is just a better player. 
 

The committee is clearly intent on getting game time into sparrow…

 

very strange team to say the least with Jordon and to a lesser extent melksham out.

Playing Viney and Sparrow in the same team is a very strange move

I disagree with Smith holding his spot over Hibberd and Sparrow holding his spot over Jordon.

But, neither is an egregiously bad decision.

If Port wins, I truly hope Smith proves me wrong. 

Smith was excellent last week until cramps got him. He offers more flexibility and speed on the game than Hibbo but lacks the footy smarts. Can see why you would want him against Rohan. 

Thought Hibbo would be the natural choice to play on Rohan. He could have a field day if he gets hold of Smith

So do we go:

May - Hawkins
Petty - Cameron
Smith - Rohan

?

Smith might be worth a try on Cameron.

His athleticism would give him a show of keeping up on the lead and in the air.

Agree with all changes.

Surprised we didn't bring in Daw ahead of McDonald based on these changes

Looks better than Hibbo on Rohan. He’s get carved up for pace

Hibbo is almost cooked

I reckon Jezza would get him for height and reach though, prefer Petty.

I still think I would have preferred Hibberd over Smith, but I don't absolutely hate the matchup of Smith on Rohan (I may eat my words there though).

Yeah can't say I agree with the team selections to be honest. Hope we are not playing with fire.

Really thought Jordon would be still in and Sparrow out. Though Sparrow did have 7 tackles.

Problem is also the imbalanced of the midfield. Dropping Jordon takes away outside spread where as now we are just too one dimensional with Viney back in.

Backing Goody with this one but [censored] I'm extra nervous now.

I thought Smith did well last week but didn't think he'd hold his spot. Big show of faith from the selection committee. Hibbo on the outer for finals i reckon

Fantastic to have 3 leaders back.

the team looks excellent with a great mix of youth and experience and some good pace. 
 

harmes, Smith, sparrow will be needing to put in good performances to stay in next week

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
