Joel Smith could be used as a sub if a TMac/Fritsch go down up forward or May’s calf plays up he can cover on defence. 

Sound reasoning. 

Salem may be returning via Casey.

This is great! DL has really gone up a notch with all access stuff this year!

Yeah, in first half Gus stood out for all the wrong reasons.   He had a horrible passage of play early in the 2nd quarter where he missed Bowie by a meter or two by hand, fumbled the ball when it came back to him then kicked it out on the full, all under minimal pressure.  Thankfully he turned it around bigtime after halftime.  I think he plays his best footy across halfback too.

It is noticeable, though, that Gus is human and can make odd mistakes from time to time; however, he does amend these errors in quick time and within this process, also creates (as necessary) improved plays and significant controls over the positive progress of the ball in the Demons' favour. Mr Fixit!

 

Joel Smith/Hibberd may be the surprise selection for Cameron?

Joel Smith got torched last time he played on Cameron.

Love how you’ve done this in guernsey order.

Hibbo sub in case Charlie goes nuts?

This^^ Don’t let Cameron settle. Rotate opponents through him

As a 'sub', Joel Smith could also be part of this rotational plan - athletic, taller, physically more powerful, just as fast. Cameron is going to be confused, shut down by multiple opponents, sore and desperate to the point of becoming disoriented and 'un-cool', and thus losing the plot. :-)

If I can count properly, that’s 27 players.  Some team-bonding /culture building going on?Great to see if that’s the reason.

Yeah, I can see the reasoning to have Joel as sub to give us flexibility in covering multiple injury returns. That said, IMO he is not the next best option in any of them and I'm always nervous when he's in the starting 22.

Away game so they would want to bring the emergencies in case a late change is needed.

That was last time. Now, we can apply a multi-functional opposition on Cameron, overcoming his every innovation and hopeful success across the whole game. That is depth!

Thommo to stay as insurance for May, Fritsch to come in for Chandler, I would give Brayshaw a crack in the forward line as a replacement for Kozzie but we will see tonight.

We tend to travel with a big group when we do interstate trips, and make it a team building building experience.

Could explain our impeccable interstate record lately.

Some good analysis from Leigh Montagna on Brisbanes performances in the past 6 months or so:

 

Interesting analysis on how Collingwood play (next item after Brisbane).  I am certain that they will be real contenders this year. Can’t wait for the KB game in June

May won’t be playing.  

If he doesn't play it must be due to either the injury or conditioning.

If it's either of those why would you subject him to an unnecessary 2 plus hours each way sitting on an aeroplane?

Fact or conjecture??

 

People are underestimating Port in analysing round 1. Port are contenders imo.   Have talent and youth on all lines mixed with experience.  Having said that Lions were smashed at the contest

It's funny how rivalries develop in the game. Apart from the traditional ones it's interesting to see new ones like dogs and lions to a lesser extent developing. I think it will be a great game. Sad Kozzie is out but hopefully with some other stars returning will balance it out. Can't wait for this one.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
