But only 4 players could be interchanged at any one time.  So players in the 30 had to be subbed on or out of the game.

Ah ok didn't realise that

    Same old story.  If we win it's good signs, if we lose, it's just a practice match

    I reckon Kosi will be named. He'd love the opportunity to play in front of family members and against a number of his mates.

    We don't play Freo away this year.

    If he does play at least three quarters I'm tipping he'll bag at least 4 goals and be close to BOG (in a losing side).

    Having said that, I don't think he should be named. We need to start with, as close as possible, our round one side.

    BTW I'm tipping a GF between two of Freo, GWS and Lions.

    That said missing the first three rounds might mean they want to take the opportunity to get one more match load and fitness into koz.

    Surely you would give him say 3 quarters,   and all the other best 22  if you can , only the abbreviated game time.

    Do not want to go into game 1 underdone like last year when a fit and firing Sydney thumped us badly. That was extremely disappointing.

    Thumped us badly is an ever so slight exaggeration of what occurred

    Curious, how do you read a reaction?

    And what happens if you accidentally see an emoji that has been added to one of your posts?

    Once seen, never unseen?

    Or do you try and convince yourself, Schulz stylee, that you saw 'nothink'?

    This game is not just about fitness. it’s about having our best team play together to work on game plan etc 

    Kozzi will certainly play as we need him in the 20+ games he’ll play this year  

    He will have time to gel with new midfield and fwd teammates

    Not sure what to do with Kos, we generally play 22 at a time and sub guys out rather than rotate extras. 

    Maybe one of Chandler, Sharp or Sparrow sit for the first half?

    Of course that’s assuming Tracc, Viney and all other mid/forwards are right to go.

    If there’s no Casey game this week I agree that taking Henderson to play a quarter is reasonable. Just get him that experience or travelling with an afl team and bonding time with team mates. Less important for Culley who’s been around the side all summer and on an afl list before.

    This will be our full dress rehearsal and I presume we will ve playing our best available team.

    We'll have an extended bench and will likely rest some guys at half time I would've thought.

    100% Kozzie will play. Given he’s missing the first three games, any match fitness is very important.

    Freo will be lucky to make the 8… they play a boring and one paced brand of football

    We play them round 6. I reckon we'll be 3-2 (losses to GWS and Cats) and they'll be 5-0.

    As well as a dress rehearsal for round 1, I hope the club also look at this game as a dress rehearsal on how we play the dockers next time when it counts.

    Thats why I reckon Kossie has to play

    I've got a similar prediction.

    Same for the Dees (if we were to beat Freo in round 6 it could really open our season up as we have a winnable fortnight after that)

    Freo will be 4-1 with a round 1 loss to Geelong at GMHBA.

    It will be an absolute indictment on Longmuir if he can't get that talented list into the top 4. They want for absolutely nothing.

    Agreed they have great individual talent, but are they a great team?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
