Clause 1A in Gus' contract looking shaky 

Might be playing forward pocket at this rate

Most likely to JJ's wing and Harmes to go to Neale or maybe Rayner

    Been a liability since the knee injury. Will be better for it. Most oppositions attack this side of the ground to expose his questionable fitness. 

    Jordan covered 14.6 km last week, our 3rd highest, including 2.6 km at high speed (over 18km per hour), our 2nd highest.

    That list of emergencies is each in the starting 22 of at least 15 of the other teams.

    We have one list issue currently - tall forwards. Aside from that we are well stacked across the board.

    I don’t understand why they played Harmes in the slog last Sunday if they intended him to play tomorrow. Did he get rested in the last quarter? Surely JJ won’t miss out again after playing all year - perhaps being freshened up.

    Not ideal but if he doesn't play then that's two weeks without a hit out.

    Probably the hit out the FD wanted even if it was heavy under foot.  Possibly had a somewhat lighter week on the track vs most to counter the Sunday match.

    Gus to JJ's wing yes?

    Don't think we used a run with on Neale when we smashed them last time.  Possibly Harmes to Rayner.

    Team selection is a brutal business, at least they aren't sitting on their hands. 

    I also don't know if people have been watching the same guy but he's moving like a freight truck at the moment. If we want to stop getting skinned through the middle we need fit players in there.

    Good to see Harmes back a long as he does an effective job on Neale. With Neale attending the center bounces I can see us starting with Petracca at HF and Viney and Brayshaw in the center bounces with Harmes. not the worst setup.

    For Jordon's wing position we have a few that can cover there. Melksham has been named there but I do not see that as a full time gig for him tomorrow night. might have a bit part there but ANB might spend more time in that position and depending on defensive matchups I would give Rivers a spell there as well. Hunt I would try to keep in defense as we are getting god run for there with him.

     

    I see a win from the Demon Road Warriors..... Bad luck Lions.....

    Melksham named on the wing means Gus is there, nothing surer.

    Jordon looked laboured, despite what his running numbers were - Sparrow the way back in for him I think.

    Spargo and ANB aren’t in great form but from what I can see, the play roles that are not easily swapped in for someone unless they know where to go and when to go - mainly on defensive structures…

    Harmes to Neale, Angus to wing, JJ out.

    Back to Sparrow, Harmes, Viney all being in the same midfield group. The stuff of horrors.

     

    That played in the most dominant finals side in years..

    How Spargo continues to get a game is absolutely mindboggling🤯 has done Zilch for weeks and last week was extremely poor

    Will be watching Harmes energy levels and ability to run out a full game closely. Surprised to say the least given he played an entire VFL game 5 days ago.

    You reckon? JJ has really struggled since the Geelong game.

    I see that Dean Kent is an inclusion for St Kilda in what will be his 100th game.

    Genuinely forgot that he was still on a senior list.  I wonder if the 100th is a farewell gesture.

    How frustrating are how they put out the teams?!!

    lions and demons are both listed as having one out and zero ins. When he reality lions are no change and demons brought Harmes in for Jordon. 

    did I mention I hate the sub rule??

    • 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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
