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 👍🏻

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

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. C'mon Hibberd find your early season form and you will stay in the team.

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.

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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
