I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort. 


 

A 2 disposal game doesn’t warrant selection 

 

Lads seem very happy with the announcement

    Disco Turner in! I like. 

    Been some good footballers over the years from Albury. Reckon he might be another.

    Go well Disco!

    that was bloody unreal.  after the week we've had this is exactly what we all need.

    The group is so pumped for him.  Great to see guys like Weed and Majak being so happy for him when they are out of the side. No sooking it up

    Hope it doesn't mean Petty is out.

    Me too.

    Hopefully it's just a matter of dropping Tomlinson who had no answers for Sam Reid (who decided to play his first dominant game since 2015) rather than Turner replacing an injured Petty.

    We've come a long way since we debuted another player on Queen's Birthday. Instead of being an over-hyped PR gesture it seems this time we're blooding someone who's (hopefully) ready.

    I have been shocked at the development of this kid, don't be surprised if he really makes this spot his own. 

    He's a very capable one on one defender but his reading of the play is very good and knows when to peel off. 

    if he's come in for Adam Tommlinson it could really suggest it's going to be harder and harder for Tommo to gain a spot as a defender in this team

    I suspect that Petty will be given until Monday to prove his fitness. If fit, poor old Tommo comes out. If not fit, Tommo will keep his place in the side.

    Hunt was the scapegoat.  But others have been underperforming. 
    BBB is lucky that Tmcd is injured and Weid is “too nice a boy”. 
    Mitch Brown remains to provide some target. 

    Tomlinson stays in until May is back.
    Spargo lucky to stay in imv. I’d give Bedford the chance.

    Good luck to disco. I hope he's replacing Tommo and not Petty.

    Good selection

    Would have preferred that we had debuted one or two new players in the Eagles/North weeks. Looking back I think that's where we started the slump we are now in. A bit of a "squad"mentality may have averted the unfortunate events of last weekend as well.

    Big game in the context of the season

    In full agreement. ☝️

    Yeah. We know.

    FFS.

    It's more about Petty possibly being injured than the lack of form from Tommo.


    Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back.

    I’m taking it as a positive that Petty was kind of jumping around in the group and getting amongst it after Turner’s debut announcement.

    Turner in. Petty must be listed as highly doubtful 

    Presumably it means that Turner is in for Tomlinson, who then becomes emergency in case Petty doesn't get up.

    Hibberd takes Hunt's place.


    Turner is listed at 192 and 194cm on his profile, any ideas what it is?

    The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
