Weed is in the starting 18 so he plays. 

It's a Sunday game so we only have the squad.

    Surprised after all these years that there are people who still don't understand how Sunday squads work. Goody has actually done us a favour by naming JJ, Jackson, Harmes and Sparrow on the extended bench. Those 4 plus the starting 18 will be the team and we don't even need the usual 24 hours to speculate. 

    Not sure what that means for TMac's role going forward, but Goody must prefer to have him in the 22 as some sort of Mr. Fixit rather than to omit him. I don't think the three amigos will work together in F50.

    Goody has already said we wont play 3 key forwards. I wont put any thought into the 18 named on field and just absorb the outs and wait until the final 22 is announced tomorrow. Shame about the 2 out for protocols but it is what it is. Will be interesting to see how they cover Viney’s midfield time. 

    I have lots of faith in the jordans and sparrows of this squad.

    4 out of 6 premiership defenders too.

    Not ideal but go Dees.

    The protocols ending wouldn't mean that anyone in them before then just gets to walk out though I wouldn't think.

     

    I think you will find it does

    Terrible luck if Viney and Lever are just close contacts and missed the end of the BS rules by 1 day!

     

    Even without the close contact rules, AFL have their own individual mandate they run to.

    You would think Dunstan for Viney, but then I look at the interchange and you can’t drop Harmes, Jackson, Sparrow or JJ 

     

    Correct so the inters will be Harmes, Jacko, Sparrow and JJ with DUNSTAN to be medi sub!

    Yep. Only VIC and NSW rules are changing tomorrow. The AFL will probably keep the H&S protocols all season citing ‘an abundance of caution’, even if the rest of the states and territories also ease their close contact rules.

    Aren't the 18 named LOCKS in the 22??

    Smith plays half back.

    Tmac takes lever's role.

    Gus goes to the wing.

    Jordon and Sparrow rotate through the midfield, replacing viney. 

    So final team has two changes:

    Viney and Lever out.

    Smith and Brown in

    Bedford medi sub.

    Weed has been handed a gilt edged opportunity. 

    If he has a big game, where his intensity and contest is elite he can make dropping him that bit harder.

    Ball in his court.

    There are two realities and it seems that with different line ups on the AFL site to that listed by the MFC we are between those realities.

    In a strange way it perfectly reflects the world at present.

    Reminds me of one of the Coodabeens most famous sayings....

    When two big men fly only one will find Nirvana

    Final teams by tomorrow evening i believe so the starting 18 is still open.

    Gut feel instincts (ie; throw a dart)...

    Smith possibly coming in for Lever,  Bedford for Viney with Sparrow / Harmes to share more of the Viney role between them?  Mostly Sparrow.  Harmes still playing his usual hybrid MF/HF role with a little more bias toward MF minutes?  Bedford to get a bit of MF time with these two but more as a high HF/Mid when these two are off and or pushing forward.

    Don’t think the players named on the ground can come out it’s Brown and Smith in for Lever and Viney, with Jackson, Harmes, Bowey and Pickett on the bench

    Will probably have to wait until Casey play on Saturday to find out the starting 23, that is if there are no more surprises in the mix.

    TMac won't play back with Smith and Tomlinson waiting in the wings.

    If they lose a KPD during a match, maybe as a stopgap, but not as a selection.

    I agree with other posters that Tommy Mac should replace Lever on the backline, and Brown/Weed forward.

    Re Viney. I don't rate Bedford or Melksham. So the other inclusion would be Dunstan, Smith or Tomlinson. The Club seem to love Smith, so I guess he'll get the nod. Poor Tommo.

    Doesn't Weid being named in the 18 mean he's definitely playing though?

    Good point and I’m not sure tbh.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
