I reckon Dixon will play and he’s playing games with us.

    I'm sure I've missed this, but when are teams announced? I thought Friday night teams were always announced on a Wednesday?

    With Sparrow out, and with Salem fully fit for the last couple weeks, it'll be tough to resist the urge to play him

    I haven't seen it mentioned but Tommo would have to be in consideration for this game.

    Be nice to see JS finally give a strong performance and it will be between these two to replace Harrison Petty.

    Gut feel or just something you've heard internally?

    Rivers out of the back 7 and into Sparrow's midfield spot, and Salem into the back 7.

    Can Rivers run out as much midfield time as Sparrow?

    I thought we'd go Joel Smith for Petty, but reckon it'll be Melksham going by Goody's presser.

    That said, they might feel TMac's ability to go forward or back, may be an additional contingency that gets him a game over Melksham.

    Zero chance BB plays IMO. Bookmark it.

    Not the concensus of a lot of Port folk... 

    As @layzie suggests playing an underdone Dixon might prove folly.

    Port will bring a lot of pressure. They'll have to as they dont quite have the calibre required across the lines to play something akin to more Their-Game.

    They're going to more than likely try to unsettle our-style whilst cribbing a few.

    If they try this they'll need to be ahead at 3/4 time.

    We're probably better at absorbing pressure than the team theyll likely field.

    If Salem has had a 4 week mini preseason then I'd play him. Let him get game time the next 2-3 weeks and have him cherry ripe for the Pies. Also when we play the Pies I'd play Kickett on Daicos and tell him to play him close close close and then run off him everytime we get the ball and watch him flounder like a carp in a dried out summer river.

    agree on Salem

    Why risk him early. Kossie on Daicos That would be worth watching!!!

    I disagree. Why not give Collingwood the headache of deciding who they should play on Pickett? Now, let's get back to this week's game...

    This is going to be a tough game, from memory Powell-Pepper always plays well against us.

    Nice piece of alliterative tongue twisting. Say three times quickly, "Powell-Pepper plays particularly poorly".

     

    Actually, it's not that hard to say...

    We don't really play a full forward and centre half forward. We play 2x tall forwards, 1x forward ruck, Fritsch and 3 speed forwards. One of the tall forwards often plays a defensive role to keep the oppositions best intercept marker away from the play. And we actually want Fritsch to be the deepest forward because of his accuracy.

    We are going to plan our forward structure and entries around Aliir, who is a key for them.

    Brown has also excellent endurance and often covers the most distance in a game.

    Joel Smith to do a defensive fwd role on Alir Alir?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
