    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.

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
