Please let’s see Sestan, Tholstrup and Fullarton.

Surely Petty has to be omitted on form.

Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it.

Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in.

    Please lose this. 
    It will surely be the final nail


    I dread the inevitable dropping of Howes, Laurie and Turner for Woey, McAdam & B.Brown whilst the likes of Petty, Sparrow, Bowey etc get away with the bare minimum as always.

    If Roos bring that same pressure against Eagles, they are a genuine sniff. 

    Out: Billings, Laurie, Turner.

    In: Woewodin, McAdam, Tholstrup.

    Go bit smaller for more forward half pressure given the foot skills are way off at the moment.

    Tholstrup, and play him for the rest of the year. Time to make selections for the future rather than the present. Unfortunately.

    Not sure that any other changes are more than rearranging the deck chairs.

    Not sure about the ins/outs, hopefully Petracca pulls up ok after the break.

    If Lever isn't ready I would put Turner down back and consider bringing Fullarton in for fwd/ruck duties.

    Tholstrup perhaps to get a recall. Does Casey have a game next week?

    This disgraceful excuse for a support competition - no. Another bye.  A blight on player development.

    FB: Howes May McVee

    HB: Bowey McDonald Salem

    C: Langdon Viney Windsor

    HF: ANB Fritsch Tholstrup

    FF: Laurie van Rooyen Fullarton

    R: Gawn Oliver Rivers

    I/C: Woewodin, Tomlinson, Sestan, McAdam

    Sub: Turner

    Those italicised should be on notice for playing totally within themselves since the bye. Petracca out maybe saves Sparrow, but I just can't put up with the lack of effort from the likes of him, Chandler and Petty every week. 

    It does feel a bit silly throwing in Sestan, Fullarton and Tholstrup but there also isn't much choice unless we want to keep rewarding mediocrity.

    Would like to see Tholstrup, Woey and AMW in the team next game.

    Think it's worth testing Fullarton out against North, he was signed as back up.. but i'm sure he'd be doing Petty/Turner numbers in this team. Would keep JvR forward too.

    Sestan must be getting closer - Does he have the tank? 

     

    Trac will definitely be a couple of weeks out

    Kolt in - and tell him to tackle everything in sight 

    6 players who pulled on the MFC jumper today had zero tackles

    I hink Lever said he'd be back after the bye.

    Just play Woewodin and Koltyn for the rest of the year. Surely they couldn't do any worse than Laurie, Billings, Sparrow or Chandler at the moment

    Petty , disco out or back to the backline 

    One or more of the Casey forwards who have actually been drafted and played a lot of footy as a forward.

    Jefferson, Luka, Fullerton , Brown can't be any worse.

    Surely Kolt, and Sestan, both big bodied but inexperienced, would both contribute more than Billings and Laurie, and we definitely need a big strong body to replace Petracca.

    Even Luker Kentfield would probably outdo poor Petty who is just totally devoid of confidence - I know he won't get a debut probably this season but that is how low impact or tall forwards (JVR excepted) are at the moment.   

    Fullarton, if he is ever going to be selected, must replace Petty and or Turner next round.

    • 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?
