There is no apostrophe in Brisbane

Brisbanes'

 

This is the latest free kick count after Round 4 below. Interesting to see if the umpires this week (a) reward Melbourne given it's a home game, with the noise of affirmation from our noisy supporters or (b) try to square up the ledger with Brisbane being rock bottom. We obviously took a hiding from last week's free kick differential count (-12).

    Injury report update from Selwyn Griffiths. Lachie Hunter played match sim v Carlton 2's last week with no issues.

    Marty Hore looking to be back for Richmond game. I presume Smacca the same given the same expected return timing listed and previous advice from trackwatchers at training.

    Clarry not listed. Presume he plays.

    Yeah I don’t think they’re going to rest him, if anything minor can be done about the hand they might do an op after this week and have him back for the tigers or cats. 

    My daughter got his signature at the family day and I thought “geez his hand must be buggered” but then I compared it to a previous signature from 2021 and it’s just as unreadable then so the hand can’t be that bad.

    We’re actually playing with several of our best quite banged up. For those thinking the bye is a godsend take a look the other side. There’s another tough stretch of games with the Blues firmly in my sights.

    AMW must play, perfect time to give him a crack to see how he goes.

    BBB out, looks tired. Perfect debut for Fullerton v his old mob.

    Billings under the pump also.

    HF - Chandler, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen

    F - Fritsch, Petty, Fullerton

    No no and no

    Woewodin in for Kozzy

    Hunter sub

    No other changes unless forced by injury 

     

    According to master statistician Champion Data’s own Daniel Hoine who some on here laud in all his greatness:

    1. We have taken the highest number of shots on goal from the hardest areas

    2. we are similar to how we started in 2023

    3. We have marginally improved ball movement currently #11

    4. We have regressed our contest game 

    5. We are the 5th easiest to score against ( I may have stiffed this one up as I can only remember 4 things at once with 100% accuracy) but the gist of the stat was our defence isn’t as good as it was.

    So looking at it optimistically , we are 4-1 with upside.

    pessimistically, we started like this last year too and from the GWS game onwards ended up becoming one of the more inaccurate sides

    oh and our inside 50 counts was higher last year.

    What about young Brown picket ?

    Alright so no Koz, personally I'd like to see Woey a full game with either Tholstrup or Brown as the sub.

    AMW a chance as well from reading recent Casey reports, but where would we play him?

    Um not out of the question at all Uncle!

    Kolt seems the most likely replacement for Kozz assuming Moniz is coming off some sort of setback.

    Expect Hunter to return via Casey this week.  Smacca an outside chance as well.

    For those of you reading this with a binman voice ... um ... um ... um.

    OK. Kossie out for the match. A question, could he play in the Casey game given that he would have served his suspension?

    Selection time.

    B: Lever, May, McVee

    HB: Rivers, Tmac, Howe

    C: Langdon, Oliver, Windsor

    HF: Sparrow, JVR, ANB

    FF: Fritsch, Brown, Chandler

    Fol: Gawn, Petracca, Viney

    IC: Petty, Salem, Woewodin, Billings, Tholstrup/Laurie

    Don't think it works that way, it's for the footy weekend which would include Casey's match this week. Even so I wouldn't play him at Casey, every chances some local footy thug lines him up just to make a name for himself.

    You’re right that he won’t play at Casey, out for 1 week at all levels.

    Bit harsh on the VFL though, it’s serious footy no one’s going to king hit him.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
