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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
