Geelong have named Darcy Fort as an emergency.  It was reported he rucked at their training yesterday while Stanley didn't.

Tuohy and Henderson also reportedly 'sore'.

A late change coming up?  

I think there is more concern around Henderson who supposedly has a sore hammy

    Dear  Tom McDonald, your mission should you choose to accept it, is to run Henderson up and down the ground like a deranged yo-yo until you hear a ping.

    No more excuses for Tmac tonight.

    Hes been carried by the team the past 2 games and Ben Brown and Fritsch have been doing the heavy lifting.

    Tmac simply needs to stand up tonight.

    Huh? I get that you're anxious- and Tom won't be the reason we win or lose...

    If he can bring ball to ground and help keep Henderson busy so that Brown and Fritta can have a good run at the footy, then I think he would have done his role.

    Of course a few goals would be nice. But he just needs to be back to his mobile running best tonight, and his tackling best. He has been one of our best inside 50 tacklers. Need to continue with that.

    Just like he did for Kozzie's first goal last game. I have huge confidence that he can bring that running game

    Never said he would be the reason at all..

    Simply said he needs to stand up.

    Get to many contests as possible, bring the ball to ground and provide a good lead up target.

    He hasn't played in a month and just started training. Maybe they are worried he won't get through the game.

    Our fitness staff have done an amazing job this year. If they aren't rushing him in, there must be a reason. 

    Fitness is without a doubt the one big advantage we have over Geelong tonight. Don't want to take any risks.

    I'm pleased to see that Hunt is not an emergency. If he had been, it would be Match Committee telling him he's fit but just not good enough to make the final 23. This way, it can be presented as giving him two more weeks to be fully fit for the GF.

    I expect Jordan to be sub unless there is some concern about McDonald, in which case I could understand it being Melksham. I really can't see either of the others getting the job.

    TMac will be OK.

    He could have had two goals last match, both good leads, one a near-set shot miss and the other a kick from Neal Bullen that went over his head. (And we should have been 8-10 goals up at half time , there were gettable shots missed by Jackson (2), Petracca (2), TMac, Brayshaw and Langdon.

    There is lots of  talk about Geelong's forward line, but I'd be just as fearful of Jackson, Brown, TMac, Fritsch, Pickett and Spargo (not to mention Petracca)  if I were Geelong's backs.

    And their defence sure ain't in our class - Jack Henry maybe excepted.

    The fact that he wasn't named as an emergency makes me think the same. He's not fully fit just yet.

    Interesting to see Chandler named as an emergency. Hoping that one of the small forwards isn't under injury concern. I'm sure I'm over reacting and he's just listed there as he's been a sub before and another decent option behind the other three.

    Goalkicking Goalkicking Goalkicking. We dominated the Lions. Should have been 7 goals up at half time.  Must take our chances this week and 🤞 in the GF.  

    YES I’M ANXIOUS ABOUT TONIGHT. 50 years of waiting does that to a man.

    I reckon we need to put someone on Henry. He has been great At intercept marking, especially since Stewart went down. 

    will be massive if we can bring the ball to ground inside 50

    Henry does  intercept well, so a nasty accident is in the westerly breezes, no doubt. Shame about that....

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
