Can’t se Hibberd getting up with a sore Achilles. I reckon Tomlinson is a chance to replace him as tall defenders will be needed to cover Oscar Allen and Darling.

    I’m not sure how this works but someone must have put money on the Eagles. We’re now at $1.30.ECB53519-AEE9-4975-B632-6D167BA85CA5.thumb.jpeg.7592510b53bb1fc5313125c24df2662e.jpeg

    I think that’s an error WJ, can’t find anything more than $1.06 for us.

    It’s the AFL App with Sportsbet odds. Surely they can’t get such important things wrong?

    If that’s from today I’d say the $1.30 would’ve been snapped up in a heartbeat.

    I'd keep JJ in, what he doesn't have in burst leg speed is made up with Kossie in the midfield. 

    Sparrow as sub (unlucky) and if well on top look to bring him in end of the 3rd qrt for Clarry or Trac. Or look to bring Sparrow in a way to reduce mins for Trac and Clarrie.

    It wouldn’t be a real time connection which means it would be manually updated by someone. 

    People be on holidays.

    I assume he must have been able to complete full training Thursday, and Tuesday training was just a recovery stretch and walk. I also guess, any imaging of the injury must have not shown any hot spots.

    If that training pattern is repeated, how will Hibbo keep fitness without a full workload?

    Achilles problems are a fluctuating injury and he has been managing it for a few years now.

    Could also be the selectors are playing games, but why, when West are forced to choose from the underdeveloped players.

    Remember how they said they were doing Thursday teams? Has that been thrown in the trash again?

    As they've done for decades, all teams are announced on Thursday but for Sunday games extended squads are named. The final 22 is trimmed on Friday, and the sub named on game-day as usual.

    Tomlinson or Turner me thinks.

    Turner isn't named in the squad. If Hibberd is going to be withdrawn, it will be Tomlinson.

    Yeah maybe. It has chopped and changed a lot though.

    Other than COVID, I think the only change has been the drop time, which used to be 5pm but was moved to 6.20pm to allow Channel 7 to announce the teams "first" during their news bulletin.

    During COVID teams were announced the day prior, which was in part at least because we were playing games mid-week to make sure we had a complete season.

    That's right. 

    The Thurs games have confused things a bit for me in recent years. Seemed like yesterday's extended team was announced at 3:30-4 around the time of the presser. It's hard to tell if posts in the pre game on Thurs are actual teams or people still making predictions.

    It really hasn't?

    During covid it was always announced the day before. Things went back to normal last year.

    Well … we might know a little more in 2 hours time when the squad is reduced to 22 players plus the 4 emergencies 

    As a matter of interest, when is the Casey team expected to be announced?

    It could be that the one time it changed was enough to throw me off into an alternate universe that is actually the same.

    Have the times of release on the day changed Daz? With the advent of Thurs night footy at least?

    I know we have a different team now however I don't ever remember the MFC winning by a " very large margin" hardtack.

    74 points in a grand final will do me fine for a very large margin :D

    Thought Jordon had his best game in a long time last weekend. Puzzled. 
     

    kozzie and TMac in. Both are good additions. We do lose the presence and reliability of Brown. JVR to get more freedom up forward

    I don't blame him either and I hope for his own career sake. 

    He'll be better appreciated somewhere else.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
