Salem for Bowey or Jordan.

Got 2 weeks to think it over.

 

 

Revised changes

IN: Salem, McDonald
OUT: Bowey (stiff), ANB 

Edited by adonski

Wow wee…T Mac to play as many as 3 quarters in the VFL next week  according to Ralph. Our top 30 players should all be available for the QF. Happy days.

Salem in for Cardio King ANB would be ideal, throw Bowey up forward

But likely to be Salem for Bowey

Realistically they are not going to throw Bowey forward for the first time in his career in a final, but I agree that ANB is sailing close to the wind.  Bowey would be very stiff to be dropped 

I suggest it will be Bowey for Salem but it  should be no change. Salem has improved last 2 games but truthfully does not deserve to get in on form since his return.

Agree 

 

Bowey is an obvious omission. Finals are going to be very hot and fast this year. He had momentum last year and is better for the run to start the year but anyone suggesting he is ahead of ANB or Spargo is delusional. Bowey will be around for a while but this isn't his year.

You still upset about our midfield selection this week…surely you think Harmes, Sparrow and Viney should go out?


Seems like Salem's place is shaky at best...

I'd drop Sparrow in a heart beat yeah 

Whoever gave away those late goals must go out

May have cost us top 2 according to some

Just a 'corky' according to Goody in his presser. Can't imagine he'll have any issue getting up in two weeks time.

It all worked tonight.

salo back in probably for bowser but would be happy with no change.

Tmac playing Magoos for a couple of games you would think to get match fit then????

Salem in. Out. Has to be between Jordan and Bowey. Thaught Bowey played a good game tonite.

Sportsbet offering even money that Picket Fence calls for Spargo to be dropped


When we play good footy it's hard to make a case for many changes. Salem is arguably my favourite player but even still it's a tough call to drop bowser for him

TMac getting back is wild. Not sure who would make way for him structurally because Milkshake has done very well. Tmac as a sub could work 

I wasn't that impressed with ANB tonight, particularly with the ball but I can't see him getting dropped. Works so hard.

Salo for Bowey.

Jordon was the sub so unless you intend on Salem being the sub, someone has to move from the 22 to the sub if you're dropping Jordon.

 

Salo for Bowey assuming Salo’s healthy and has been producing kms at training prior to this soreness.

No way am I rushing McDonald back after 3/4’s of a game.

I think there’s a bit of a different look we can go with in the midfield and half forward. Gus on the wing a little more, Harmes on ball and forward, Tracc on ball more. But some of that will depend on opponents and the venue.

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
