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....

    • 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.

      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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
