So who are the 4 interchange and 1 sub?


Petty is a certainty (doh)

Sparrow for mid-field rotations (rather than Harmes)
Tomlinson 
Hibberd

(or is that too may backs?)

Smith is the perfect sub

Spargo will be kept out by the form of Chandler

Grundy is destined to be an emergency every game

    That is probably the way it will barring an injury prior to game time

    They must have liked Jordon's game last week.

    Jordon was a bit quiet last week but has been good at playing specific roles since Clarry has been out.

    There’s more to footy than stats alone

    Poor Taj I thought he started all right. He was a bit quiet last week but I think of the chances Neal Bullen, kozzie,even spargo and JJ have had over the season.

    Of course nth bring back Cunnington. The guy that always manages to find the ball against us.

    I think Jordon is a lock until Clarry returns. I want Hibberd in for Harmes, but I don't think we've ever played that many defenders together.

    Tigers have put the cue in the rack. Martin and Cotchin out.... Managed

    Lucky Bulldogs

    Cotchin isn't best 22 anymore. It's passed him. Champion but I forgot he was in the ground last week

    I think they have named him to give him a bit of confidence, he's had a tough year with selection. I think they will see what he brings and if he plays like he did again I suggest he'll be dropped. Probably will anyway to make way for clarry

    Spargo and Chandler plsy different roles..

    I suspect spargo comes in for Woey, who had been playing spargo's role.

    I am OK with Woey being dropped. Had a run, knows what to expect next year, or perhaps if an injury occurs to one of the wingers/mids before the season ends.

    A chance Tomlinson takes the sub position (or Harmes), as they need to get some game time into Joel.

    Hibbo slots into the backline, unless they decide to keep Chandler.

    Sparrow is Woey's replacement.

    A no to Grundy and Spargo from me.

    Petty on the bench. Lol. 
     

    Even WORSE Spargy Pants in the squad!?? He was very very ordinary last week in the half he played! What about rewarding guys like Andy Moniz Wakefield who was sensational in a loss last! Time to reward FORM Goody!

    Goody did say Grundy won’t play this week so not sure why he is named - emergency I guess. I favour him being on the bench to share ruck duties against their two rucks.

    We could, if we play Bowey at half forward… I know it won’t happen but a girl can dream of those sexy kicks going inside 50

    My tip for the bench:

    Spargo

    Sparrow

    Petty

    Hibberd

    Smith (sub)

    Meaning woey, harmes and tomo dropped.

    The eight bench players are named in order of jumper numbers from lowest to highest.

    You can tie me to an anthill and smear my ears with jam if Petty isn't in the starting 22.

    • 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 lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
