    No surprises is a bit of a surprise...

    May and Hibberd looked tender and Chandler ??

    So much for managing the quick turnaround

    Hi DJ. As much as that concerns me my response related to the inclusion of No.19 up front. I guess their best defender goes to JVR then?

    That line up is a joke. Only a few named were in their real positions. 

    That's the whole point - Goody's having a joke with us. He does this so 'Landers go insane. Laugh along I say. He's probably watching on laughing with the way he's #%&*!#@ with our brains. It's his secret weekly indulgence.

    I was hoping that Daniel Turner would have got a run in the backline, really surprised that Hibbo got up he looked in a bit of trouble late in the game skying kicks. He is a tough customer.!!

    I recon Hibbo perpetually looks in a state of trouble. Love him.

    Lever was calling out a nickname to Schache.

    "Weasel",  I was taken a back.

    Perhaps he has weaseled his way into the team, or his bonding with deep and meaningful discussions.

    The selection mirrors the kind of week on DL.

    I was hoping some of the old codgers would be managed this week with the short turnaround - May and Hibberd. Similarly, I hope the mids are rotated out of the centre a little more for Kozzie, JJ and Sparrow.

    Of course we won't take Norf lightly!

    I smell some late outs.

    Didn't Rivers have a knock as well? Maybe just cramp 

    Yeah, just cramp.  Was stretching it out for a while before he totally missed that kick and was subbed immediately after.

    They’ll look to stretch us for height, especially after the Essendon approach last week.

    typically we’d just run all over them but with the short break and injuries to some of our smalls, there is more risk in this game than I’m comfortable with.

    Maybe Fritter at centre half back is a thing.

    A few posters have expressed doubts and concerns about the game against Norf.

    I don't get it! 

    We will [censored] on Norf from a great height!

    I don’t agree. We are in very mediocre form and bottom sides come out with great intent against us while we often come out napping. 
    5 day break on top of that and this could end in tears.

    I’m not outraged. I just think it’s stupid. 

    Less stupid or more stupid than telling the opposition exactly how we're going to line up?

    Correct Jaded, I expect they will come out hard. They may well hang around until half time .... but after that ....

    I just realised it. The Deez media division ^%&*@#-!p the media release. They reversed the lines. Should have read:

    B: J Jordon, J.van Rooyen, J.McVee

    HB: J.Viney, J.Schache, M.Hibberd

    C: E.Langdon, C.Oliver, T.Sparrow

    HF: A.Brayshaw, B.Fritsch, T.Rivers

    F: J.Bowey, S.May, J.Lever

    Makes much more sense this way.

    • 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.

    • 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.
