Don't think Riv plays back. Don't think we change plans and suddenly start Langdon wing. Doubt we'll see any total shocks like Jed Adams over Howes.

Still not sure on 3 talls (AJ or Jeffo), Langford or neither. Woey, Jack Henderson and perhaps would we pick Spargo out of the blue again (surely not right? right?).

FB: Howes May Petty
HB: Salem Lever Windsor
C; Billings Rivers Lindsay
HF: Sparrow Turner Tracc
FF: Fritsch JVR Chandler
Foll: Gawn Oliver Langdon
Int: Bowey, Viney, Sharp, AJ/Langford
S: Woey

E: Henderson, Jeffo, AJ/Langford

That might be the 26 man squad and we won't know exactly who's in until we see conditions on Sunday.

    I'll eat my Akubra if Goody seriously has Jeffo "in the mix" for the opening round.

    Maybe he meant as in later rounds depending on how he fares at VFL level / on the track but wouldn't be in there this week surely.

    Id really like to think that AJ will come in, but have we seen enough of him yet?  One quarter (?) against North (!) and then a bit of a pick and mix against Freo.

    We definitely need someone to give Max a chop out and I really hope its him, but Im not sure if this is the game for it.  I actually have Jeffo behind AJ at this point, unless a tall forward gets injured.  Not like that WILL EVER happen.

    Definitely get Langford in, why the hell not? No downside.

    Im going for best 22 players IMO - positions can (obviously) change:

    Bowey, May, Petty

    Rivers, Lever, Salem

    Windsor, Viney, Langdon

    Langford, Turner, Sharp

    Fristsch, JVR, Chandler

    Gawn, Oliver, Trac

    Int: Howes, Sparrow, AJ, Tmac

    AJ and TMac feels too top heavy, I also think Lindsay plays

    Goodwin said three or four to debut.  I'm guessing it will be three:  Langford, Lindsay, Jefferson or Johnson.  As Johnson played in Freo game he is the more likely and perhaps Jefferson as an emergency.

    So telling our social media couldn’t get it together to create some debut content

     

    we’re so far behind each team in this regard

    I thought he was serviceable against Norf, I was surprised they didn't play him against Freo. But I'd be even more surprised if they backflipped again and played Jeffo ahead of AJ given Johnson looked pretty solid.

    If no AJ that means JVR in the ruck?

    No thanks.

    I really hope not. He has not shown enough in what I saw of him in the Nth game and then not played against Freo. You are not setting him up for success having him debut against Taylor, Buckley and Himmelberg in a red hot first game. It also I assume means no AJ (unless Turner misses) and that likely leaves us with JVR post back spasm having to ruck at times. It just does not set Jeffo or us up for success in my opinion.

    He was just ok in the practice match

    I wonder if the weather might be a factor. 

    Jeffo is probably better at ground level than AJ so might be a better bet if its wet?

    Oh for ANB to still be with us. He’s exactly the guy we need right now. 

    Fair point. Does anyone know if he’s happy?

    Surely not with 20 mls of rain predicted and possible thunderstorms.

    Can’t be too top heavy.

    I think possibly HL, XL, AJ and HS.

    Ooops, I just got sent that and guessed it was today


    If there is three it will be Langford, Sharp, Lindsay

    AJ to be emergency

    I'd be shocked to see Jefferson play and I cant see Spargo being ready 

    Forecast of heavy rain throughout the day and a temperature of 18 degrees by game time. Over or under 16k?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
