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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
