With McAdam in the squad, does Salo have a week in the 2s? Assume the other in either BBB/Fullarton

Look forward to seeing him. The skills he supposedly brings are exactly what we need in the forward half 

Must be BB and McAdams for JVR and Disco.

A big ask for McAdams given he's played about 90 minutes of game time in about a year.

That would mean Fullarton is not, as otherwise they would have announced him too.


Keen to see Shane debut. Go well!

I don’t think McAdam playing has any relevance to whether Salem is in this week. If he’s fit, he plays. Probably at the expense of Woewodin.

Left field: Tommo in to the backline, and send May to FF, just for this game. 
Tommo at least has decent form in the VFL, and I love to see May crash a few packs up forward. 

May up forward (now that TMac has some better form and support) is a bold but worthwhile option; whatever, if it is not successful by half-time, back to defence, slipping Tracca up forward for longer spells. Fritta will be crucial, and smalls need to be alert for opportunities ahead. 

 

I wouldn't mind Salo coming in and taking some of Trac's midfield minutes allowing him more time I50. But assuming BBB is coming in other moves would also be necessary...Woey out (stiff), Windsor sub?

In: BBB, McAdam, Salem 

Out: Turner, JVR, Woey 

Petty would be rucking I'd assume... 

If no in game injuries I think McAdam and Salem would be chances to be subbed out, similar to Bowey last week.

These are the changes I’m anticipating. If one of the returning players isn’t starting sub then I think Billings is the most likely candidate.

Good stuff, all the best to ya Shane.

Salem's Player Ratings according to Wheelo Ratings

2021 - 10th for MFC (9.68 points)

2022 - 29th for MFC (5.15 points)

2023 - 21st for MFC (7.88 points)

2024 - 18th for MFC (7.72 points)

He is definitely not a lock in our best side.

Again, and i promise im not being facetious, do you mean if you were a selector or that you think goody thinks salo is not a lock in our best side?

I ask, because they are two different things.

Thrilled to see McAdam in the side. I wouldn't be surprised if Kolt is one of the inclusions for this round either. 


Great to see McAdam get his chance.

I also think Dirk could be given a nod again.

Gawny going to ruck 100% of game time… or…

Sure, why not...

At the start of the year I was hoping they'd rest him for this game, however West Coast are far better at home than I could have imagined.

(can only imagine Petty and T Mac will share 7-8 minutes a quarter as back up. GC rucked defender Mac Andrew as a pinch hitter last week, so it's not out of the ream of possibility that T Mac could pinch hit ruck as a defender)

Could we see a return to the TMac pinch-hitting strategy for this week? 

Congratulations Shane McAdam and MFC, really looking forward to seeing you running around in our colours against the Weagles, hope you have a great game, we need a bit more X-Factor in our side.!!

Fingers crossed that McAdam gets a good run at it. Would be handy to cement another marking option who brings some real pressure

I'm just looking forward to us playing a forward who actually holds overhead marks!

I can't see Woey being dropped as the game is in Perth, he has been sub several times and was one of our best when he came on against Carlton.

If anything, Chin could need a rest with his knee issues on a possible hard ground.

I would even have Woey in ahead of Billings.

Do posters actually ever inform themselves of the facts ??? Stop posting innacuate, dumb stuff.

Schache is injured,  didn't play the last game & is not available.

Posters still calling for McAdams inclusion despite Goodwin & the Club insisting he needed to play several games at Casey.

You were saying?

 

 

 

Shane would be delighted. This is a massive injection of confidence for him and confidence is everything when it comes to game-day. So proud of him. ❤️💙

I reckon he will play Discos role - if he can - providing agility and a marking option.  Im not 100% that he has the tank so may stay closer to goal.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
