Who do we think would take being sub better; Gawn or May?

 

Max wouldn't look good in a vest whereas May could just be mistaken for one of the Village People.

Mayzie it is.

    No Max this week. 
    And I can’t ever remember us naming an out (Woey) as managed before.

    The closer the game gets the more my confidence rises. Even though that’s  always been true for me I’m feeling pretty confident about this week. Let’s face it does anyone here seriously think Freo are better than us?

    Didn't finish the Casey game and allegedly copped a corkie.

    Guess it's going to be a simple swap of Woewodin for Laurie as sub.

    Or billings

    I don’t have high hopes for him, but he certainly earned another crack at it after his game for Casey on Sunday.

    Fullarton gets a free ticket to Perth to watch the game. I suspect he’s there keep the Dockers guessing.

    I’d prefer to go in unchanged but I trust Goody after his selection master class against the Bombers.

    I’m still fascinated by who goes out next week when Max comes in. Is Sunday Petty’s last chance? Or is he a permanent fixture and they’ll demote someone like the Kolt to sub?

    From what I’ve seen Verrall is way better than Fullarton as a football player. Why is he being ignored?

    Yep Laurie for Woey

    Freo have clearly been better than us in 3 of the last 4 meetings.

    So looking at the squad.. I’ve got vibes on it being Fullarton in for Woey (managed I can only guess means load mgmt & needing full VFL game time?!)

     

    Why? That part I’m still grappling with.. jsut feeling that they didn’t like look of Petty in Ruck or want to see if Fullarton can play up fwd whilst giving JVR a rest OR wanting to have JVR up forward MORE and thus JVR Becomes 2nd ruck and Fullarton gets the bulk load.. although his 5 hit-out VFL effort doesn’t scream PLAY ME but around ground he was solid..

    Personally I’d bring in Jeffo and keep JVR ruck, but it’s risky & this plays a role.. just think playing TF feels like the change based on ext interchange named!

    Lets beat Freo and show them all the WA talent they passed on in the draft:

    • Kozzi (they has 3 chances to draft him)
    • Rivers
    • Tholstrop
    • JVR
    • McVee

    These guys have been among our best in the last few weeks and are the best WA youth running around.  Did I miss any?

    Luker Kentfield in the not-too-distant future 👊🏼

    Windsor named on bench. Anything in that?

    Woey needs a decent game so makes sense

    Fullarton and Disco named bench, potential for Fullarton to get a run and Disco sub? Try Fullarton and if not working revert to last weeks line up?

    I’m already on it PF! Been on it since Queen’s birthday last year when we bonded over snags in bread at Fed Square. I’m just not as confident as you are that he’s ready yet. 

     

    Fullarton to play . You can bank on this . Petty to be sub or emerg.

    He's been on that since Rnd 5 vs Brissvegas where he contributed roughly the same rating as Salem on 7% game time (subbed off injured with Hammy in the first Q) and ranked as the worst rated player in the AFL for season 2024 (at one point in between then and now) but still going strong nearly three months later.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
