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

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
