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

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

    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.

    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…

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
