Interesting Emg list. Smith incase Hibberd doesn't get up. Bowey most likely sub. Or can they choose someone not on the list if Hibberd is a late out.

 

Swans got a tall in doubt? Interesting emergencies.

Is JVR a wildcard chance for Sub?

Jordan is not named for tomorrows game.

Was an "out" after being a medi-sub last time.

That is the best team we have available at the moment. Only two different to the starting 2 in the '21GF. 

I think we have the Swannies shaded in the midfield and our defence will need to be at their best and have the usual pressure of all team defence up the ground to hold the forwards of Sydney. Our forwards team performed well last week and had great service into the forward 50. Silver service and accurate kicking was a highlight against the Lions.

I still look at our forwards a a week to week proposition. Tough Sydney defence will test them out.

Dees by 4 goals going away.

That’s Premiership team but for Hunt/Bowey which would’ve been for injury. 
And Melk for TMac

Hard to believe that people still think that positions in the named team mean anything.

JVR now seems ahead of Weid in the eyes of the club

Great lineup, a winning team (imo)!

Other than the absence of TMac we're in fine fettle. Perfectly placed for another red hot crack at it

We're going to win tomorrow. And win well I reckon


Agree BDA I’m thinking 34 points in a tough slog for 2 1/2 quarters. Go Dees.!!!!

First final at the MCG since 2019!!!

Midfield battle will be the key imv.  Sydney have got a good mix of contested Mids ( Parker, Mills, Rowbottom) and pacy runners (Warner , Gulden, Florent, Stephens). I think if we win contested footy, we will win. 

Both teams look very strong on paper. Will be a cracking game but confident our best wins.

Tough call for Bowey, but Salem had to come back in.

Interesting that JVR is in the emergency list .... something happening?  He is the only real tall, though Joel I guess would be ahead of him.


Spargo Still getting a game after 4 poor weeks?? Staggering!

If we can’t smash Parker mills and rowbottom with Viney Clarry Trac then the world no longer makes sense

Langdon HFF. Said no-one ever.

 

A few wanted Bowie to stay but I think we knew Salem was coming back.

Hope he is in his golden form.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
