    JVR to play at his home soil. 4 goals for sure 🔥🔥🔥.

    I imagine he will invite all the people from his hometown 😆

    IN: Kysaiah Pickett

    OUT (to be sub): Spargo or ANB

    Pickett for Brown

    Brown Out, Pickett in.

    Would like to see Viney out for Howes, but not sure Jack would get dropped being captain. I feel he is probably our biggest watch over the next few weeks. Disposal poor, decision making poor. JJ is a much better 3rd midfield option and Koz back will squeeze Jack out.

    Absolutely no idea what changes they make, a couple of thoughts: 

    IN: Pickett
    OUT: Sparrow

    JJ, Gus to have more mins inside

    IN: Pickett
    OUT: Hibberd

    Jordon to have stints at half back or Petty back to defence? 

    Really can't see them dropping BBB

    Kozzie in hard to drop anyone from today's game. Someone is going to be stiff. Melk junk time supersub may be left out

    McGovern, Cripps, Shuey and Witherdan all unlikely next week. 
     

     

    Let's get the Casey boys for a nice Perth visit and rest our AFL team 😆

    The season is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to peak when it matters. We're not losing next week, so why not start rotating the list a little bit and giving a few blokes a rest next week. Will refuel the batteries and ensure we can go the distance. We have the depth and need to use it. It's what hurt us last season in the end.

    let's wait and see what the medical report is on sideshow bald first

    if he's out i still like our structure with three talls up front - sideshow, roo, and petty - so if one of them is out then plugger mac gets another opportunity more than likely

    pickett is obviously an in, most likely for melksham, with one of jj or sparrow - probably jj - sliding to the sub

    Brown should have a week off regardless of whether he’s injured or not. Another week to look at Petty and JVR up forward and we can always bring Tmac back. 
    We are heading into a softer patch of the draw and we need to take opportunities to rest our older and most important players.

    100% agree. The 3rd tall is the Ruck pinch hitter. 

    We also need to get some games into Turner, should be our 3rd tall of Petty plays up forward.

    Kosi for Hibberd. Petty to go back. Another possible out is Sparrow (just 10 touches) but I feel like he was vital in getting centre bounce clearance momentum back.

    No way can Harmes replace JJ. Jordon was immense today.

    Think melksham is a lock for sub until he hits 100mfc games, he's on 97 now.

    why would anyone give AF if he gets to 100? he already got to 200 games

    Was BBB injured? Please don't tell me it's the knee

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
