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.

    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 🤔😅

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
