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.

I agree with this... Woey has deserved his chance and Chandler has been terrific but needs to rest the knee.

It's a great opportunity for our WA guys to have family and friends in attendance. This is great for morale & team bonding.

So can we have Kolt in also?

Unfortunate for JVR

Happy for McAdam

    SHANE McAdam will make his long-awaited Narrm debut, nearly halfway through the season.

    The livewire small forward, recruited from Kuwarna last year in the Trade Period, will play on Sunday against Waalitj Marawar in Perth.

    I know he came on fresh, but I really liked Woey's attack on the ball last week. Really hope (for his continuing progress as well) that he's not left out this week.

    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.

    I am not convinced that Salem will definitely come straight back into the AFL side post injury this time. He may come back straight in, but I think they will have a debate at selection about it, which means he is not a lock.

    The only locks in the 23 would be May, Lever, McVee, Rivers, Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, ANB, Pickett and Fritsch.

    For Salem to come into the backline, Bowey or Howes would need be dropped, or Rivers would need to be redeployed into the midfield.

    Salem is behind Oliver, Viney and Petracca in the midfield pecking order (and probably behind Sparrow).

    I remember you had Spargo as a lock in Goodwin's best side mid last year and he was dropped shortly after and then left out for Laurie in a final.

    Don't disagree entirely but I also think Billings could be left out to enable a Salem return (mid or back), with some minor shuffling. 

    Personally I think a fit Salem is the key to giving Tracc more time inside F50. 

    Re: LOCKS; tough on Langdon who's back to his best so far this year and I'd see JVR as a lock. For a key forward with 30 games experience he brings a boat load to the table!

    Indeed I did, and I was proved incorrect.

    I may well be proven wrong about salo too. 

    We'll see.

    Yep you were right & I end up looking like a goose 

    Mind you his selection totally contradicts Goody's earlier comments that McAdam would not play until he had several Casey games under his belt.

    Let's hope this works out better than the Petty or Bowey returns when they were clearly underdone.

    Tbf mate i reckon Goodwin had no choice but to play McAdam due injuries to JVR and Disco

     

    I dare say Disco may not get his spot back after Sunday

    Just a lil reminder that we are all part of the best Club in the league. 🥰

    We’re the only AFL club whose cheer squad has put together a Sleep at the ‘G team, albeit a small one. It’s on tonight and this year we’ve assembled a uniform of sorts. We all bought matching PJ pants…

    Teamed with various Demons T-shirts and headwear we’re sure to look positively fetching 😅

    🥳❤️💙

    Given that we will announce an extended squad tonight, my guess:

    Out: Turner, JVR

    In: Brown, McAdam, Verrell, Tholstrup, Salem

    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.

    Now that he is actually going to be part of the team, how about using his real name, McAdam not McAdams,  He is not a descendent of Frank Bluey Adams #6

    What do they say about people who live in glass houses?

    You consistently misspell Fullarton as "Fullerton".

     

    • Haha 5

    Fullarton or Verrall in the squad... I'd prefer Verrall but I think Fullarton.

    I also think he won't make the final cut

    BBB and McAdam for game day

    I just went up against Marty Hore in a handball comp. I’m so sch!ttt that even though he let me shoot from literally two feet away, I lost. Badly. 😭

    Any intelligence on Elliott Yeo who instantly makes their midfield about 200% better?

    It's believed he trained today.

    Confirmed to be out

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
