Hibbo destroyed Cameron last night. Did his job. He plays unless injured. 

Not bad after not playing for a while.

    In the worse case scenario of Steven May not getting up to play due to his hamstring issue I would consider the possibility of using Majak Daw as a defender.

    Here's hoping there are no changes though.

    Having a settled side is the best option.

    Whoever is the medical substitute will be the big question.

    Nathan Jones will be going home to witness the birth of his twins. Family always comes first.

    In my view will be either, James Jordon, Jayden Hunt or Jake Melksham. 

     

    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.

    No change,May will be fine hes got 2 weeks to recover,feel sorry for Hunt been there all year and played well.

    Serious? He had 9 possessions in a quarter after sitting on his bum for 3/4. He was given a ranking ahead of 12 players who played the whole game. He laid 2 tackles and took 3 marks and got his possessions all over the ground,  by running to make position or contest. He will be in the 23. Sparrow had 2 more possies and similar other stats in 4 quarters. Not sure what more you can expect of a sub.

    I totally agree with you re Jordan, I thought he was good in the limited time he was on. However those ranking points also had Petty as the 38th best player on the ground which is just plain silly.

    i don't think there is any way plugger mac will move back; we won't want to mess with our 'structure'

    Does anyone have Burgo's number so I can call him for an update on May's hammy every day?

    An interview up on MFC Facebook page. He will be training as usual. He is ‘super confident’ in his body. 
     

    he is saying everything you want to hear. No doubt on that front. Hopefully it’s genuine and he’ll be right to go.

    Who’s in?  I think no change.  But tempted to add Hunt for his pace as the sub. Jordon probably gets the loyalty nod. 
     

    likely v Dogs 

    Their midfield is their absolute strength.  
    Bont Macrae Smith Libba Hunter Treloar Dunkley.  7 very very good players.  Contested footy and pace to run it. Huge huge huge midfield contest.  Dees can bring it and are able to get it done.  Trac, Clarry, Jack, Harmes, Langdon, Brayshaw, Sparrow. 

    Dogs defence is very solid. Keys are Dale and Daniel across half back. They are skilled and run it.  Anb and probably Spargo will have to stand up. It’s critical. They destroyed us in round 19.  Wood or Williams also very good and match up on Fritsch. Rourke Smith or Duryea on Pickett.
    Jackson and Brown could be our wildcards and will be the Dogs headaches and have to have to stand out. 
     

    Dogs attack is Naughton and Schache for height but it’s the pace of Hannan Vandermeer   and potent Johanissen or Weightman. May and Petty backed up by Salem and Hibbo and Bowey and Rivers are well backed.  Lever again will be reversed tagged by the Dogs. 
     

    Gawn and Jackson v English and Martin.  This is the Dees ability to win first footy and Jackson is the player who could be the youngster who can make a big influence up forward or in the relief ruck role.

    I'm channel surfing. How's Stef Martin going? Can't possibly run out the game.

    A million dollars against the kicker teams.

    Goes missing against the best.

    Will be interesting what impact a weeks break will do to the bulldogs?

    Will it make them leggy in the GF?

    He does if they are 15 days apart. There will be no change if May is right. Only would be if they go Hunt as sub. 

    Hunt as sub sounds good to me. Taking nothing away from JJ, but Hunt's speed is a weapon. Can play both ends of the ground.

    I think he or Smith if fit will be cover for May as the sub

    Yep, if May were to go down, Smith is more like for like. Otherwise if Hunt were sub TMc may need to swing back on May's oppo and Hunt go forward.

    Wondering the same thing. The extra week off might be a bit odd to them.


     

    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

    Hmmm the doggies are a very dangerous team. Deep and powerful midfield, who know how to put scoreboard pressure on too. This is going to be an awesome game.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • 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

      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.

      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.
