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?

    Give Howes a crack at half back and chuck Gus in the guts if Salem's not ready

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
