With Lever likely to play now, which option do you think we'll go with:

A) The simple like for like with Tomlinson replacing May.

B) Going in small and starting Hore as a "tall defender" with T Mac as the other tall defender and Lever as the interceptor. No Tommo. You're essentially putting a lot of faith in Hore taking a Marshall or Finlayson.

C) Petty plays in defence. Tomo left out.

If Lever is a starter i would say A.

Need Petty forward against Ratu and Aliir

    Do we give Lever a week off?

    B - Howes, Tomlinson/Petty, Hore

    HB - Rivers, McDonald, Salem

     

    I wouldn't, if he's right to go play him.

    Absolutely, but so are our midfield 

    Nothing is easy, but we can beat them if we are fully committed to 4 Quarters

    didn’t look too elite when down against an undermanned poor Tigers outfit. We are better than Port, home or away

    Trying to find info on any evolution in the Port Adelaide gamestyle,

    Seems like Wines it taking more stoppages and spending less time forward which is hardly surprising or radical.

    Marshall is taking a ton of marks (10 and 9) and creating many more goal assists than previous seasons, but both Marshall and Dixon have barely 50/50 goal accuracy. Maybe playing further out and taking their marks and set shots from further out?

    Then again, maybe their forward stats are just skewed by the bizarre game against the Eagles. Finlayson 0.4, Dixon 3.3, Marshall 0.3, Bergman 0.3. Could and probably should have been a 100 point win despite letting West Coast score 70.

    Which brings up the next point - West Coast 70 and Richmond scoring 92 despite both games being dominated by Port suggests that Port are pretty leaky defensively, and all that despite no tall forward scoring more than one goal against them.

    Hard to get much of a read on them other than that, with just two games to look at and against what is basically the second-last and third-last teams (with only Collingwood below).

    Did I mention only Collingwood is below then. Because Collingwood is last - clearly 0-3 is lower than 0-2.

    Just recapping, Collingwood; the worst.

    I think their leaky defence is a good reason to play Petty forward and smash them

    nice to see a stable team 

    May a big loss but Petty will cover him

    No Tomlinson.... very surprising

    Makes it more likely that Petty will play back

    Hore v Woewodin is probably decided by where Salem is played

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
