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 If Hibberd is going to be withdrawn, it will be Tomlinson.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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
