I still think Hunt as medi sub. Also I’m not keen on May vs Naughton with May’s hamstring hanging on by a thread. If he goes down and we don’t have a defender ready to go we are in trouble, as I back the Dogs to win their fair share of very good clearances.

    Hunt as the mdi sub I agree. Sorry Jordy.

    Ph*&k. Thought the premiership was going to be a cake walk. Really MFCSS'd. Be happy to escape with the four points.

    IF May tears his Hammy early on in the game we lose.

    But if Smith isnt available, Id add Majak as an emergency and if May still looks iffy close to the start, Id name Daw sub.

    Hear me out.

    He is actually adaptable to play FB in a pinch but he is better at FF running in a straight line if needed.

     His best position is in the middle. From what I saw at Casey he didn't get beaten in the ruck and was in the best most games. He would beat Steph Martin in the middle as a monster and probably around the ground. I reckon watching Steph tonight, Dogs would prefer him if he was available to them.  This would allow Tom to go back and Max forward more. 

    Prefer him to Hunt or Jordan. We should be able to cover a flanker or, dare I say it, a mid.

    Just a thought.

    Powa got exposed for being the brittle, soft front runners they are.

    Allir Allir goes missing against the best teams and gets exposed big time.

    Will be a cracking GF.

    Should have said, if May's injured, I think it will be Joel Smith (assuming he's fit). There aren't any other reasonable options.

    Hunty ???

    Well you should not have to change the 23 who won a prelim by 83 points. However do not play even a slightly injured player in a grand final. If May can't get up then Hunt in.

    Tmac down back I reckon and Maxy up forward  more if Maysie can't come up.

    He Will though.

    The only one that played definitively poor was Rivers but he probably has enough credit in the bank.

    Would absolutely love to see Jonesy as Medi sub for the granny. It's not easy sitting for 2 and a half qtrs before coming in, but Jordan seemed a bit off when he came on. Jonesy is next cab off the rank.

    Riv played a good last half. 10 possessions. He's fine.

    Tmac is a forward no longer a back no way he replaces May ,anyway May will be fine.Only change i could see would be Hunt for Hibbo for extra pace down back.But think it will no change

    For me, we need someone to stop Caleb Daniels impact and someone to stop lachie hunter from having an impact

    Just like we seemed to do with Daniel rich

     

    Daniels is the key to the Dogs and a hard tag needs to be applied probably ANB although Outa left field Hunt?

    Did tmac actually go down back or was it more a case of drifted into defence momentarily, as does even BB?  Hard to tell from TV.

    I think they will consider bringing Smith in, especially for a player like Weightman.  Hunt would be the other one in the frame - naming him might give the Dogs some pause for consideration,  Hibbo would be very stiff, but he was dropped after we played them last time.    

    It might be Hibbo and Jordon out for one or both of Smith and Hunt.

    Yes in the last game I was screaming at the TV (as insane as it is)

    “who’s on Daniel. Goodwin wake up. He’s killing us” 

    34 possessions across half back.  Sets up play.  Maybe Sparrow plays as a defensive half forward.

    Any of ANB, Spargo or Fritta will be asked to this. Most likely ANB.

    If Tmac goes back he will slot straight in. He replaced Tomlinson when he did his knee and did very well. He couldn’t get a kick before that move. He’s  a natural defender. I would be tempted to play him on Naughton. He’s not the kind of player that gets out marked easily.

    Spargo to Daniel for mine. ANB is important further up the ground as a link up player with his hard running. Fritta too important as a target and goal scoring option. Spargo doesn’t get many touches, but he does make the most of them around goal. He’s also comfortable moving further up the ground and tackles hard when he gets the chance. Get him to put the clamps on Daniel and then take his opportunities if they arise.

    I suspect that Petty will start on Naughton, even if May plays.

    Majak Daw ... really? 

    Smith on Smith is probably a good match up.

    Viney on Libba.

    Bont ... hmm .... not really possible to tag him, but perhaps Harmes? Or Smith? 

    Think Hunt needs to play, purely for his speed.

    ANB would shut him down easily in my opinion.

    I'm reluctant to go with too many hard tags. We will back in our game head to head, and fair enough, we have as many stars as they do!! No fear. Having said that if we go for a tag, the focuss should be on Libba and Daniel to starve the dogs of outside ball.

    I actually like this. We don't want to lose run in the midfield and he will hold Daniel accountable around goal.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
