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?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
