If Clarry and sparrow are fit they come in for harmes and JJ.

    Give Oliver another week off to be extra cautious. 

    It's North.

    Sparrow comes in for Woewodin. 

    Woey has had 4 games at AFL level and played in some big games. He'll use this as a great sounding board heading into pre season in what it takes to play 4 quarters of footy.

    Happy with his development and think he'll be a classy player.

    This may sound dumb to some people but I would give Max a rest for the week and play Grundy. Just keep him interested. Also after todays game max almost deserves a break.

    If Oliver fit along with Sparrow then Harmes and JJ out.

    North making West Coast look good at the moment, they better not pull a game out of their [censored] next week.

    I mean, rebounds happen and all that, but there's only so far you can stretch the elastic.

    If we avoid injuries from now on we’re completely unstoppable. 

    Hibberd for Woewodin as well.

    Very much agree. It's an obvious move and one we complained about when not made last year.

    A harder decision would be resting May and playing Tomlinson and Smith down back.

    I'd give Schache a go as sub simply because he covers back and forward and ruck (not fantastically well perhaps)

    Harmes, Hibberd, Spargo Jordon Woewodin... I'll leave to the selection committee

    I say bring him in because is it North. A soft opponent so we won't be compromising our chance of winning the game by easing him back in against them.

    I'd be resting Viney for Dunstan this week. He's been a battering ram for 5 weeks and copped another big stinger today that troubled him.

    Get him primed for Carlton

    They won't bring Oliver back vs North Melbourne in 12'C in Tasmania you'd assume.

    Full credit to the radio commentator on 'AFL Nation' for making West Coast v North sound like an epic contest setting the clouds on fire.

    I was amazed Hibberd wasn't brought in to play on Dusty today. Dusty destroyed us for 3+ quarters and Hibberd has kept him quiet in the past. Hibberd had 32 disposals playing for Casey earlier today.

    Love to see Dunstan get rewarded, would be an upgrade on Jordon.

    Would only be an upgrade if he played on ball full time, which means Harmes would play half forward full time.

    At this stage Harmes and JJ are at least maximising their tanks and minimising their many mistakes (to a large but not overwhelming level) by rotating heavily. 

    Edited by DeeSpencer

    Having watched Casey today, have no qualms bringing in Hibberd.

    Ultimate team man that does team first things all day long.

    Even at 3/4 time huddle was giving his two cents worth.

    Woey to have a spell, or Jordon.

    Hibbo probably should’ve played but his Casey game last week was prolific without being clean and in control. Haven’t seen his game this week but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was still short of a run. He had a serious injury and he needs to be at his peak to perform. 

    4.3 to 1 point in the final quarter and still losing to the abjectly bad last placed team.

    Gonna be a long flight home across the Nullabor for the Kangaroos.

    Now I'm trying to figure out if percentage could matter at the bottom of the ladder.

    Hmm... West Coast have scored 150 fewer points than North and conceded almost 300 more. It would take a few almighty beltings for North to drop that much.

    I for one endorse the Demon's heading down to Launceston and making the wooden spoon race interesting.

    Unfortunately Casey have (yet) another bye next weekend so whoever's not playing for Melbourne won't be playing for Casey. I assume they'll play another scratch match against one of the other Clubs who also have VFL Byes.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
