Couldn’t see your way to squeezing JH29 into the firsts? 😭

It was out of Hunt, Hibberd and Tomlinson for the back pocket spot and I decided on Tomlinson.

    I think it is neck and neck between Hunt and Bowey for the HBF. Hunt is more experienced and so exciting when he gets running and breaking the lines, particularly in combination with Langers, but Bowey is so cool and so precise and his delivery. If Hunt works with Choco over the preseason and improves his disposal, he would get the nod from me.

    I think there is no doubt that Bowey should get the half back spot. He is cooler under pressure and a better kick.

    didn't get past first line as laird is a midfielder for the crows, not a defender anymore

    When Crouch gets back into the side. Laird can switch back to the backline where he played his best football.

    fixed ðŸ˜ˆ

    can't see laird playing anywhere but midfield - he was their best and fairest winner as a mid in 2021

    i think it's more likely they'll re-tool sloane into a different role, a la the peppies sending heppell to the back flank to clear space for zerrett and ellen to do their thing as their 1-2 mids

    I think Sparrow is now worthy to be promoted into the firsts. We also need to recruit  another tall and solid forward.

    Sparrow is now one of my faves so I would have him in the starting 22, he is only going to get better as is JJ, apparently Oozze is very impressed with both these boys.

    LITD my only concern with the List is lack of a young Ruckman 202 - 205cm learning from the best.!!

    Not sure that Hannan is best 22 at the Dogs.

    He'd be in the 18-30 player cohort...  and they have Ugle Hagen to fit in come 2022

    Yes a lack of a developing young ruck could be an issue. However we are so blumin professional these days I’m wondering if we have already targeted a young promising ruck from another side who is out contract at the end of the ‘22.

    As you said learning to ruck from Gawn, whilst in a top 4 side with a great culture would be an attractive proposition to many.

    I would rather play Weeds at CHB which could provide him with some confidence and Mitch Brown up forward. Maybee not the silliest idea. Love the Senior side and inclusion of Dunstan will pay of in spades.Hunt and Sparrow Extremely unlucky. Cheezus have we now got some envious and serious depth. Our second side would beat any of the bottom 4.

    I know where you are comming from, but I think the better statement would be "lack of another young ruckman".  We had Jackson who is both young and learning from the best.  I'm guessing that we are making the assessment that being within the premership window, we are better off having the mature ruck depth of Daw and/Or there wasn't another young ruck still available in the available pool worth us investing in right at the present.

    I think hoefully we've still got a few years before ruck depth becomes a burning issue for us.

    I think Hannam is best 22 Ugle-Hagan is a tall he will probably have plenty of chances with Bruce out for a while but probably no room for him if Naughton and Bruce are both playing

    Next year’s draft is supposed to be a tall draft so hopefully we can find a ruckman then

    Reckon your side is pretty spot on, although Tomlinson will play lock down FB and May will take Hibberd's role on the dangerous mid size players.

    Sparrow will likely be ahead of Dunstan too. To begin with...

    It will be interesting to see who gets the gig Dunstan or Sparrow. You know what you get with Dunstan. Sparrow is still developing.

    Well the Saints weren't happy with what they got and you'd have to be a very FICKLE Dees fan to drop Tom Sparrow on his GF form. Everything clean fudnt fumble and his disposals were great plus his kicking to our boys brilliant. Tackled well also.Developing nicely don't harm him mentally after his best game ever.

    Not sure Tommo will walk in. Has done very strong competition and we don't want to go too tall. 3 talls are fine for Dogs and it's a good 3or 4 inc. Hibbo Hunty Joel Smith and if Tommo is recovered  he might be a chance but not the fourth tall for is not needed. Let Tommo get used to match play agsin and he will have his time.

    Same with Dunstan great pick up but wait for his time also.

    Is Jacko too small?  We can always get good rucks from the Trade period .

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
