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?

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
