Any worries about Salem? Goodwin said he was subbed off after some knee soreness I think. He looked a bit proppy in the third. 

his going off and being subbed out was a huge part of us dropping our bundle

rivers went back to cover for him and our midfield got pantsed for the remainder of the game

    I think Windsor has to go. Couldn’t even execute basic handballs last night. Needs a rest.

    Also AnB must tag Zorko and we need Petty to play a defensive forward role on Andrews. If we can nullify those two we might get a look in.

    Yep agree but you may have forgotten their mids. They are miles in front ours and give good service to their forwards who are looking dangerous even Hipwood.

    Why?

     Cause he has stuck fat with Oetty stinking up the whole joint this year. This is why selection integrity is crucial.

     

    If Oliver got grumpy with his tag on Saturday get ready for Jarrod Berry’s attention

    Oliver hates him too after the eye gouge in the 2022 SF.

    Can't see this ending up in anything other than a 40+ point lions win, hope I am wrong however.

    As I mentioned in the non MFC thread today, how is it that Brisbane keep drafting and successfully blooding goal kicking forwards, and now have 2 more in Lohmann and Morris that are now established in their best 22.

    They got Danniher from Essendon and Hipwood out of the academy.

    I agree - 2 teams going opposite directions right now.  Swans look unstoppable however if Brisbane get back to their best they could take them on GF day

    Also think Carlton and Collingwood could account for Sydney on GF day, but that's for another thread.


    We have plenty of tickets available for this match. A number of folks who’d registered interest in tickets have informed us they can’t/won’t attend.

    We sit behind the goals in section 16/17, Wellington Rd end (Gate 8). No opposition colours in our bay. Dees only. 👍🏽

    We can win if we win the centre clearance (easier said than done against Brisbane but crucial at the GABBA) and kick straight.

    I think our structure would look better with Turner in defence and TMac forward.

    Tomlinson does not have a great match up even if Lever fails to get up.

    Oliver to be rested for the remainder of this year

    Come at me....

    I'm not sure that would be good for his mental health - keep him active and involved. Boredom and disengagement can be toxic.

    Agree and I'm not trying to be obtuse with my suggestion, or controversial

    I wonder if he could be in the coaches' box as he gets his mind and body right?

    2025, with all the stars aligning, we'll have The Trac back, and a rejuvenated Clayton?

    Yep I agree chook, I still think we'd be better running him as sub for a while and give some youngsters a crack first.

    Having him come on midway through the third as an impact player might be a better way to manage his fitness levels for the moment. Might be a better way to reduce his frustration with the heavy tags flright from the start of games too.

    Can't See it happening though.

    Can't see him being dropped either with Tracc out now.

    He is one of the best midfielders I've ever seen. God I hope he gets back to his best somehow and he's still wearing our jumper.

    A wicked problem for everyone at the club right now

    $4.50 head to head @binman and +28.5 at the line. Tempting.........

    He can remain active and involved at Casey. Not sure why he is playing tbh, he is not helping in anyway.

    Not playing - just training and doing extra sessions, that he has to pay for

    I'm sure he can afford it

     

    Out Salem injured and Howes

    in Lever Moniz Wakefield

    No way - Howes, Tholstrup, Turner, Brown - these guys need to play every game this year, to see if they're going to make it

    It's about 2-3 year planning now....2024 is cooked

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
