Any chance they will pick BBB, as he has been declared fit?

Zero chance

I was at training at Gosches when Clarry returned to team training.He was signing autographs for kids and posing for photos.He is a people person. He loves the fans.

At the Casey practice match, they had to shorten the kick to kick because 11 and 13 wouldn't get off the ground signing autographs. It took Claz fully 45 minutes to get from the eastern wing back over to the sheds, just yacking with fans. 

Probably more unlikely but I feel like Fullarton is a chance, although he would have been announced yesterday

AFL.com.au’s predicted Sydney backline;

Lloyd.    McCartin.    Rampe

Florent.  Blakey.   Jordon

They are tiny. And that is weird.

Never been a fan of using a tall as a sub but on a small ground I’d be throwing everything in the height bucket against these smurfs.

 

edit. Looking a bit more closely at their predicted side, it appears the work experience kid might’ve been thrown this one. 

Need to consider the flip side effect on being smashed at ground ball gets and fast transition on turnover due to going in to tall.

For this reason long bombs won’t work as they’ll just flood numbers back and spread quickly on rebound. If we can get more separation and 1v1s in our F50 and move the ball similarly to the game last week vs Carlton, we should expose the lack of defensive height.

A good mix inside our F50 of small and tall should still work both ways

He’s back at Claremont training with the Senior Squad 

BVR is contact training and should play Futures and Community footy this year. He’s 199cm now I heard yesterday

Sam Van Rooyen, Jacob’s younger brother 

 

Got a feeling JVR will have a good game tomorrow night, he was so close in the practice matches, leading well, getting to great spots, it just didn't quite stick for him. Against the Blues he missed a few shots but could easily have kicked a little bag. i am very optimistic he could snag 4-6 goals

Would you take SVR with a mid season pick, which as a bonus, also might assist JVR to extend his contract with us.

I feel like Bailey Fritsch gets forgotten in pretty much all discussions about potential goal-kickers for our upcoming games. Just not sure why. He’s easily our best forward, in his prime, an absolute gun, and if stays fit, will win our goal-kicking again this year.

He sure is 'Webber' and one of the best forwards in the game who also gets left out of that discussion.

Not currently but will see how he goes once the season starts. WAFL pre season matches start this weekend so may get a look at him.

Im not a believer in signing players to keep siblings. Back your culture (that dirty word)


I would have a big supporting crew out there tomorrow, listening at interviews and objecting to anything not on subject or football. Particularly our President and CEO. Its about time we stopped [censored] footing around and started leaning a bit 

Woewodin might be the sub. He's definitely in Sydney.

The Age columnist, Greg Baum…

Fans’ biggest gripe: The media hates my team.

😛

I don't just hate the Age, i hate all Media. Get that straight. It isn't because they are spiteful and horrible toward a sport that keeps them earning a living. It's  because they they have serious character faults, and have been overwhelmed by their own self importance.

Woewodin is my tip for sub.

Assuming they have to announce 5 on the bench tonight with 1 eventual sub, I'd find it hard to believe that Brown or Tholstrupp will be one of those 5 considering the confirmed debut announcements from Monday.

Who else could be sub? Hunter and Spargo are injured. Adams hasn't been near contention.

Surely we're not going down the path of Verral or T Mac as a sub after what happened in the semi. 

 

My insta had Kozzie kicking a goal from the race/ground access in the pocket.  Not even on the field, not that he can play this game anyway.  Freak!

Instagram also indicates that a bunch of the players from different teams are mates off the field.  Brodie and Max still follow each other, I really rather doubt there's bad blood there.

Can't get too pumped about the game, I'm a day behind and five hours ahead in my time zone, so that means I'm supposed to be catching some ZZZZs at game time.

CARN DEES!

I am new born baby, never watch a football game before, and am unfamiliar about customs to do with this sport which I have followed since yesterday.

So when are the…

…teams announced?

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
