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 PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
