    Not messing about there. Interesting if Bedford is the sub ahead of Rivers, and Mitch Brown is the tall emergency.

    Whether posters think he is ready or not it is bloody exciting to have Salem back. When I think of him I think of his first quarter of the GF...what a player!

    Wow 5 changesย 

    Rivers did need a break I thinkย 

    14 disposals last week, so I like the idea of a rest rather than dropped through poor form. Heโ€™s been pretty good all year.ย

    Been a long time since we made 5 changes but other than Thommo for May, the incomers all improve the side

    Thought they might have been a touch conservative with Salem and had him come back via Casey....

    Not surprised by Rivers, not changing a winning team probably has kept him in ....

    Gotta feel for Bedford. I thought he was very good when he had opportunities last week.ย

    I am astounded Salem is in. 5 mins in first game the ten weeks on the side lines with a knee injury a large part of which would involve no running. Hope to God they have this right as he is our best kick and we have sorely missed him the last 10 weeks.ย

    Excellent. Last week was not good enoughย 

    changes were needed. Bedford a little stiff but he is still learningย

    Ben Brown slightly lucky, wouldn't want another game with a handful of touches and no goals. Equally, need better entry into the forward line.

    5 massive INs!!

    The teams looks so much better.ย ย 

    Mitch Brown lurking in the emergencies - better play well Brown and T Mac!

    Swap May with Tommo and thatโ€™s our best 22 right there.ย 

    Spot on. But I do have a soft spot for Hibberd in defence.

    Was very happy he was in the PF 22 when May went down

    He was the most like for like and his form hasnโ€™t been as good as Bowey

    Hunt plays a different role to Rivers and you wouldnโ€™t have Salem or Rivers then playing that role; Hunt has played it well this year.

    I called it a few weeks ago on a FB group that I thought Rivers would be the most logical replacementโ€ฆ.itโ€™s stiff, but thatโ€™s what this team has gotten to nowย

    I like the boldness of the changes. Great to see Salem straight back in. I hope Rivers is the medi-sub. Last week we were caught out with replacing our best defender with midfield back up. I know we didn't know May was gonna fall but I couldn't help but wonder how the game would've been different if we had Tomlinson as the sub.ย  As a general rule it would be good to see us play it safe and have a defender as the medi-sub.

    Very happy with this. Not concerned about Salo as he completed the entire pre-season and by all accounts most of our training sessions are as hard as the real thing anyway. Roll on Saturday night.ย

    Salem is a HBF. If he is right to play he should play for Melbourne.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 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?
