Clarrie not named. WTF. This is beyond a joke.

He's listed amongst the followers on the team sheet on the AFL page for Sunday's game. 

 

 Brodie Grundy, [9] Charlie Spargo, [10] Angus Brayshaw, [16] Bailey Laurie, [19] Josh Schache, [20] Adam Tomlinson, [23] James Jordon, [37] Kade Chandler

not much given away from the selected 18. 

Bench will be Chandler, Gus, Tomo and JJ imo

I'm a bit confused about how this works (should know by now I know).  Surely Hibberd is one of the extended bench?  If so why does he get listed as "out"?

he’s in the 22 from last week

My bad I could only see the ins and outs. I’ve just tended my resignation as a selector.

Mitch Lewis out for the Hawks, not 100% sold that Tommo is in now


I'd like to see them give Bailey Luaurie a go in place or James Jordon

One last roll of the dice for 'Gawndy'?

Hibberd was the 23rd player last week - sub. he is not in the 22 this week.  sub yet to be named. 

not on the extended bench so he’ll play for casey

Just seeing Josh Schache's name in the extended squad makes me nervous.

They still have talls in Kozitsche, Denver-Barass and Brady who all played forward last week. Tommo should play.

What happened to Hibbo? Surely not dropped?

He was sub. It’s just the stupid nature of the selections that subs are listed as out

Hibberd is not in the 26.

Nothing against the kid but he shouldn't be in a top 4 side this deep into the season. He'd struggle to make North's 22.

I reckon Schache suffers a bit from confirmation bias from supporters. I’ve seen him play very decent games at Casey, kick multiple goals in games, be an effective second ruck and show courage backing into packs. He just seems to lack intensity so is unlikely to be selected because the team demands that attribute. It’s a shame because he could be our forward line temporary solution if it can all come together for him. I would not be devastated for him to get a game.

Grundy and Laurie definitely to play, perhaps Chandler the sub with Tomo, Schak and JJ at Casey

The game at AFL level requires intensity, and it would be some kind of miracle for it to come together for him at his 3rd club in Rd 23 of his 8th season. I think Grundy stays in as the tall target. 

Otherwise from that extended bench I’d have Brayshaw, Chandler & Tomlinson (would’ve preferred Hibberd). Jordan as sub, maybe Spargo but I think we’re small enough as it is.

CHANDLER THE SUB?.? NO WAY KNOWN kicks crunch goals

Wonder if they have spelt Hibberd wrong.

can't see how schache is a misspelling of hibberd, but i could be wrong 😮

Laurie is a great kick and very accurate when shooting for goal. I'd like to see him play HFF/FP

A fair summation of where Josh sits DeeMee . To paraphase Paul Simon  'A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest'. Try not to pull the blinds down myself. Of course we have favourites who seemingly do no wrong and those we have less esteem for who appear to do no right.

Not the best game from Josh last round at Princess Park. But he is a clever player who can read the flight of the ball, position himself well and is normally a long, accurate kick. Like a number of his peers, the goal kicking gyroscope was awry last Sunday and he failed to kick a major. Might surprise a few if he got another go. Ditto Luke Dunstan.

Just saw that. Maybe they want to give him a full game at Casey for fitness ahead of finals?

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
