Pretty much as expected for a ‘squad’. 
Presumably, all those named will travel to Perth.

That squad is just about a strong as you are going to get week to week in the H&A season. Salem to come back in to the back 50 team when fit and in form and that is about the only thing we need to top up this team.

Harmes, Jackson, Jordon and Pickett on the IC.

 

Presumably Bedford out so he can actually play a match, albeit in the VFL. Otherwise, presumably no change and Chandler and Mitch Brown being rewarded for decent performances in the VFL and being take across as insurance. Interesting that Daw isn't an emergency, either Max is a certainty or Daw is injured (though not listed anywhere).


No change,   but I would love for milkshake to get to 200 games

 

Tomlinson on the extended bench presumably as cover for Lever who some observers last week thought was suffering from something more severe than a corky.

The VFL has a bye next week, so giving Bedford a game at Casey makes sense. 

Something I do not understand with the fixtures AFL/VFL.

This week we play on Sunday over in the West and Casey plays the same day against North in Melbourne. we will need to take 4 players over as emergency reserves so they will not be able to get a run at Casey.

Next week we play North in the AFL and both Casey and North VFL teams have a bye... am I missing something?

The emergencies that travel across to Perth will therefore miss two week of matches.

Please tell me that somewhere this makes sense. Have I read it wrong?

Seems like the timing of the Casey game and the following bye is a factor for players like Bedford, Weideman and Laurie with the aim to get a full game in prior to the bye. Hopefully Weideman puts his best foot forward without Brown in the team to keep pressure on McDonald. 

As pointed out, the emergencies in this game are likely to miss two weeks of footy unless they get elevated to the seniors.

Good call giving Weed some game continuity

WC team is not as bad as people are saying - around 14 first 22 players are there. 

West Coast ins and outs are confusing. Who are these people?

That west coast team 🤭

Their spine of Barrass, McGovern, Kelly, Darling, Kennedy is impressive on paper. They're not missing many from their best 22. NicNat, Yeo, Shuey, Rioli, Allen and Cripps are the only ones that come to mind.

As Goody says, you need to respect the opposition. It wasn't long ago that opposition supporters would have been mocking our line-up.

Finally Bedford gets dropped. Sick of this guy getting 0 touches a game week after week without consequences.

I feel sorry for Declan Mountford, whoever that is. Imagine getting dropped from West Coast right now.

The way the Eagles have played they haven’t earned much respect this season: we really should be flogging this very weak looking line up

I thought I saw some information that Hurn was being rested this week, but I see he's been named.

Yep...His turn to rest in the back pocket......

Agree.

Tomlinson a late in for lever, Melks the sub.  Not sure why Mitch Brown is in the squad.

On paper West Coast still have some really good players. I know they are all mostly past it, but gees they shouldn’t be so bad.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
