I wonder if Jones will be the sub this week they usually don't use the same sub 2 weeks in a row. Although vandenBerg did it. Joel will play on Cameron and I think he will do a good job too he can play tall and small.

    Very surprised about Hibberd, who will play on Cameron?

    And Zac Bailey - he is the threat IMO.  Harmes maybe????

    He tore us a new one last time I think either Riv or Bowsa will get the job.

    In other words, no decisions taken yet.  
     

    With Jones, JJ, Hibberd and Melksham listed as emergencies it’s likely we won’t know the actual team until tomorrow or even Saturday

    The decision has been taken to retain the same 22 that got the job done last game.

    What is unknown until about an hour before the game is which of the four emergencies will be the sub.

    Nothing to say about the selections really.

    Great for our young players to get a go at it.

    Give them hell, Jackson, River, Bowey, Pickett, Petty, Sparrow. Spargs.

    Surprised about Smith, thought he may have been a bit underdone. Hoping he is match fit after only a few games.

    Tracc has been setting himself for the finals, (guessing). I expect a dominant performance. May will be in the same boat

    Langdon and Salem could be the difference. 

    C'mon big game players, step it up.

    Go Dees.

    Daniel Rich is the one that really worries me. His distribution off half back has been incredible this year. Will Viney go to him?

    Genuinely surprised jj is not in for Captain Jack.

    Yeah, it's an interesting one. Jordon's form really has dropped off in the past six weeks though. He was a revelation at the start of the year. Suprising us with his defensive efforts and even the odd goal.

    Sparrow worries me with his disposal but you can't question his willingness to compete or get stuck in.

    Love this - last game 2019 not one of these player was at the club or Best 22. 
    Add JJ and that’s one third team.  
    Now in a qualifying final after our best win since Salem’s goal v Essendon.

    I realise it’s ancient history but it would have been great to have Tomlinson with May and Lever - he saw these days coming and that’s why he was so upset when it happened 

    Hopefully we can back up next year too

    Petty has been more than an adequate replacement.

    Nah.

    He's played in enough finals and a grand final.

    I'm stoked for for the guys like Petty who are getting their first taste of finals.

    The young ones won't know much about the struggles to get into a final, and being in one (though there will be guidance, such as; absorb the experience, be in the moment, play your normal game, do the simple things well), though after last week's effort they will have belief. I imagine they will play with plenty of energy and confidence, as will the rest.

    Jordon will be back. I have been so impressed with Sparrow's energy, marking and contested possession abilities. Some other shortcomings can be rectified. I expect we will be impressed with what's to come with this young man's game in the finals. So excited!

    Sparrow has shown he can dispose of the ball well. His inconsistencies in the delivery of the ball, must be about anxiety, feeling rushed and or being inexperienced.

    You can see fast development happening as he gets more games and becomes more instinctual.

    I am with you, believing we will be impressed by him.

    Kozzie seems to have a go at any of the opposition who have the ball and are near him. Has got great closing speed.

    Does anyone know if we are taking more than those named 26 to Adelaide and on to Perth?  
    And what is the situation re Majak’s suspension?  Would the Demons last match count seeing that it was neither an AFL nor a VFL match in which he was suspended, and no VFL matches were played.  
    I guess it is like so many things something that Gil will try to avoid, but make up on the run if needed.

    You have to feel for Hibberd and Jordon, both of whom have been mainstays of our best 22 this year but now find themselves on the outer.

    Well done to Smith and Sparrow for standing up at the right time to get their spots.

    Would love for Jones to be the sub but you'd expect Jordon is the more likely option.

    My word I do. Actually, I can’t understand it. I’d feel a lot more comfortable with Hibbo and Jordon in the team instead of Smith and Sparrow.

    Hibbo put the clamp on Cameron last time and, in my opinion, offers more than Smith with his rebound and ball use. He’s also finals-hardened, better understands his role with May/Lever and more composed under pressure.

    I worry that the Viney/Harmes/Sparrow triumvirate, although damn gutsy, has a bit too much sameness - a ‘bees to honeypot’ quality - about it. Jordon adds something different, a bit more versatility, a bit more of an outside game, a bit more awareness of the next play and where to position himself, while being hard as nails himself and a good tackler.

    But what do I know. During the third quarter last Sat, I thought we’d lost the game at selection, and then I witnessed The Miracle of Kardinia!

    I believe Tomlinson has played 10 finals. The most on our list. He has had a lot of chances - but I agree I think he also saw these days coming.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
