In: Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow, Petty, ANB, Laurie

Out: Smith, Melksham, Chandler

Weideman named on the extended bench; TMac named in the starting 18. Although not sure if that means anything these days.

    Running on the theory that the emergencies will come off the extended bench, you would assume that Jackson, Sparrow, Pickett and ANB will all play.

    That would mean Weideman misses out, along with Dunstan, Bedford and Laurie.

    Yeah, evidently not.

    Good point. Tough to drop on 199.

    Interesting if Weid does go out, tmac went back for one game and played well in the two's gets in on back on covid changes and plays just ok. But Weid who despite flaws in his game has kicked goals and even helped in the ruck last week. Not sure what message that sends

    No he is a far better option than the Weid. The Weid can do one thing reasonably on his good days.

    The starting 18 = definitely in the team rule wasn’t applied two weeks ago when TMac was named on field and then dropped, so I’m officially abandoning my long held belief that that’s how it works.

    That said, I’m still of the belief this means they’ll play TMac and drop Weid. In any case, that’s one role in the team that is obviously far from settled in match committee’s mind. Looking forward to watching it continue to play out.

    I’d say they’re waiting to see on Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow and ANB’s recovery.  If they’re not ready, Weideman and Bedford stay in the 22.  That could see Laurie get a ‘run’ as the sub.

    I think Weid might be a bit stiff to miss after the role he played last week.

    Weid ain't good enough.

    If everyone on that interchange is fit to go then you'd reckon Jackson, ANB and Kossie are certainties.

    If Bedford has earned another go then Sparrow would miss - interesting as usual.

    He played key position forward, and took 1 mark... He desperately needs to bust a game open but we're still waiting

    Interchange should be Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow and ANB. Bedford and weed next in line.

    Has he done much at Casey? Maybe getting named in the squad is a sort of encouragement award!

    Doing well it seems, close to best on last week. Though playing mainly as a forward, so lots of competition for a spot.

    Watching the replay Tom Mac's game was a 5-6 whereas Weid's was 3-4.

    On the body of 2022 form they're lineball. Neither has really shone.

    Weid was performing against a youngster in the ruck last week

    In fairness, he played second ruck.

    Mcdonald and Brown played KPF.  Doesn’t change the fact that he took one mark, but he was thrown into Jackson’s role midweek.

    T Mac deserves to play over Weed based on last week. Plus our 2nd ruck is back

    bedford will be stiff as to miss but I think he will 

    great to see Laurie get rewarded for his good form. Won’t play but hopefully not long til we see him

    Weed should pay me to predict tmac will be selected.

    Coz when I do he isn't.

    I can’t see Laurie being played ahead of Bedford.

    • 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?
