Does anyone know what time the team is announced? I am expecting Hunt or Hibbo to replace Smith and am just as keen to see Geelong's changes

In five mins 👍🏻

 

Hibberd in, Smith out.

Emergencies are Jones, Melksham, Jordon and Chandler.

Really surprised Geelong didn't bring in an extra midfield for Parfitt, but instead have stayed with Zac Guthrie who's a half back flanker.

Parfitt is Geelongs best defensive mid. They've left the bollocking work to a Selwood and a banged up Dangerfield. 

Works in our favour.

No change to cats line up. Which looks funny because psrfitt is out.

Zach Guthrie was medi sub last week. In the starting line-up tgis week

Geelong's brought Z Guthrie in for Parfitt. Their emergencies are Higgins, Fort, Simpson and Dahlhaus.

Hard luck for Smith. I think Hibberd is the right call as the closest like-for-like replacement for Smith.

Jones the sub?

Their true team is Z Guthrie in, Parfitt out.

It's hard to believe Guthrie is ahead of Narkle, who can't even get on the emergency list, but there you go.

Don't think Jonesy will be sub, and fox footy have been saying he will fly home if he isn't.

In practice yes.

But the medi sub counts as a player. Hence no change

Very happy with both teams.  Ours is the better one!

No Hunt even as emergency. Would assume he was not quite right. 

No Hunt. C'mon Hibberd find your early season form and you will stay in the team.

No real surprises. 

Really surprised by Zach Guthrie who a mate of mine has suggested (Jeelong) that if he plays ut plays right inro our hands!! I DEFINATELY would have played Hunt over Hibberd easily and I hope this doesnt end in tragedy! Hunt not even on extended bench???? Dont like it one bit. JONES to be medical sub take  it to the bank!

What a huge tick for young Bowey.

I'm wrapped for him.  Hug tick also for Choco in bringing him on.

His beautiful disposal will be rocketing out of half back, centimetre perfect to Fritsch.

MFC Website still saying Hunt is 2-3 weeks

Hibberd is an upgrade offensively and with decision making. Not defensively, but we should be able to cover him.

He also looks to get us going when we fall back into boring footy. Not as much as Hunt but it’s valuable.

Ultimately, this will be decided by the best 12 players on ground.

Misleading AFL headlines annoy me more than they should.

Yes I know, I just think of it practically.

Someone tomorrow will be named as their medi-sub and theoretically that player is the "in" to replace Parfitt, but really it's Guthrie in, Parfitt out, and someone else to medi-sub.

Fever pitch! I can’t wait for tomorrow night.  

Well the team is as expected so the only mystery may be the sub. It will probably be Jordan but I would not be surprised if it was Melksham. Has a reasonable record over there.
