Reckon Clayton may be able to squeeze himself into the line up. For Chandler?

Bowey but not sure for who?

JJ will be the unlucky one for Clarry.

Not sure what to do with the small forwards. They are all not performing but i guess we don't have many options.

 

IN: Oliver, Petty

OUT: Spargo, Smith

Big SparGod fan but Chandler presents more upside. ANBs photographic collection of Goody ensures he remains in the 22, too.

Smith unlucky


I reckon Spargo could be in serious trouble for his spot next week.

Oliver and Bowery to return. Who makes way??

JJ was the sub today.  Somebody else will have to come out of the starting 22 for Clarry.

For mine is Spargo out and Clarry in. We are playing one too many smalls up forward who aren’t giving us enough. 

Hard squeeze with Bowey unless we want to rest Hibbo again. 
Petty is obviously a walk up start too if he’s fit. But he may not be?


Tough selection week. 

 

A nice dilemma for the match committee.  
Oliver the obvious in - maybe for Spargo,  or Kozzie who has been a big disappointment since his suspension.   
Petty maybe if he is fully fit but for whom?  Both Smith and Tomlinson did ok today in their own ways IMVHO.  


In- Clarry 

Out- Spargo

Jordon stays sub as he couldn't have done more in it today

Assuming Petty isn't right, but Smith did enough to stay in. 

Bowey is very stiff but there's only so many spots in defence which looked very good today

Clarry for Spargo.

Chandler on thin ice but should get another go.

 

Could Bowey play Spargos role in the forward line? He is similar in that he is elite by foot and cool under pressure. Can kick it further than spargo and is more likely to convert his opportunities 

Out: Spargo  In: Bowey , small forward 

Out: Chandler  In: Oliver

Out : Neal-Bullen  In: Petty, if available,

Smith to play ANB’s role.

Chandler Sub

Really like the Spargo for Bowey fwd swap....

My call is Kozzie for Clarry  - he needs to refocus in the 2's.

 Petty may be a few weeks yet.....

From what I remember seeing of Bowey as a junior he wasn’t really a natural at making play when he was at half forward or at pressuring. Looked better on the wing  

I wouldn’t mind seeing him as the 3rd winger and a very high half forward coming up to stoppages and even as a midfielder post centre bounce.

More of the role Nibbler 

But I’d have to trial it at Casey first.

Oliver, Petty and Bowey in if all available. Spargo and ANB out and 1 other but who if petty is available.

Smith needs to stay in. Play Petty forward and keep Tomlinson back. Drop Chandler


Kardinia Park is narrow. Our wide boundary game is suspect in those conditions. Could we rest a winger... Hunter.... for a tactical corridor player (do we have such a player) ??

Of course. I hope Viney nails him. 
Also they have a very hard game coming up next week. Go for the jugular Port!

I’m going to save us all a lot of time by letting you know that ANB will not be dropped this week. 
Carry on. 

 

How insane is it that Geelong have 75,000 members, Melbourne have 65,000, and they'll play at a stadium in front of 21,000 people next week? How the AFL signed off on this is ridiculous.

It's bad for the sport. All this garbage about growing the game and you have at least 30,000 people who can't get in to see 2 top 8 sides play each other.

I hope someone points it out to the media. It's an absolute own goal by the AFL. Move it to Marvel if you want, but move it. I struggle to think of another game where they are wilfully locking out so many people - Geelong fans included.

I wonder whether the shape of Alphabet Stadium impacts our selection at all. Will be interesting to see. 

I think we need to have a look at a forward line with all of JVR, Smith and Petty in it. All very good competitors so can probably let one of Spargo or Chandler make way?

Love Bowza but not sure if he comes in immediately unless they give Pig another freshen up. Perhaps Thommo goes out to make way, with the option for Petty to swing back if needed....but I'd prefer we stick to 3 talls. 

Oliver comes in but for who, not sure. 

Funny how much depth we seem to have all of a sudden 🤔😅

  • 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.

    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.
