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.

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 If Hibberd is going to be withdrawn, it will be Tomlinson.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

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

I don’t get it… 

For me he leaves at the end of the year and I don’t blame him. Definitely deserved his spot this week

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

He'll be better appreciated somewhere else.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
