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 If Hibberd is going to be withdrawn, it will be Tomlinson.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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
