Hendo from the clouds for a debut!

Makes for a interesting line up - potentially Roo had a set back with his back, 4 tall forwards in the wet is choice

Johnson is a third or fourth backup forward at best and ok ruckman! If he gets a game round 1 we are already struggling in 2025 IMV

Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades

    Johnson allows us to not play JVR in the ruck and plays with a level of physicality Turner doesn't. Looked a lot stronger in the practice matches and would be better in the wet imo.

    Giants will be walking the ball out of our forwardline, that is madness.

     

    New era, spewing one of my best mates has his 40th on during the game. Will be glued to my phone for updates.

    So 6 debuts inc Sharp — means Roo or Disco are out..

     

    Let’s pray it’s just Turner in form, hope is that club Likely would’ve published JVR pulling out with injury so let’s hope it’s Turner for form reasons perhaps.. 

     

    LOVE Hendo storming into the side — massive wraps wow wow can’t wait to see the kid play! Rkn Jeffo sub is my guess..

    Surely JVR pulling out would be released by club.. SURELY!!! 😬

    Club confirmed 6 debutants will play.


    I like it...the excitement and speed of youth early in the season, Goody must have been watching the Tigers last night!

    Boy oh boy wowee

    I don’t think anyone saw all six playing 

    It essentially means three others already named won’t play 

    Billings and TMac were on the extended bench so I’m guessing they didn’t make the cut 

    Perhaps Turner too? or JVR a late out? Probably the only way bringing in both AJ and Jefferson makes sense

    Either way super exciting!

    Very unlikely the team lines up that way but the backline looks unbalanced to me.

    Billings, Langford, Sharp and Johnson 

    sub: Lindsay 

    I agree that's the most likely but....

    can't see us going with all of jvr, fritsch, turner, jefferson, and johnson

    if latter two are playing, i'm assuming at least one of the first three aren't

    i presume jvr has not come up from his back issue

    All those saying it’s madness and we are too tall etc — one will be Sun and 6 don’t go into 5 so obviously a tall is out we jsut need to wait and see whom! 
     

    and prey it ain’t JVR…

    Salem looked fantastic in parts against Freo, he’s always happy to hold the ball and step around one or more opponents. If he can hold fitness and health we’re already better than last year.

    I’ve always liked Salem as he dispose of the ball well and so holds onto the ball a little longer even if he is going to get collected. It’s not like he’s 6 foot six and 100kg. 
    I’m sure it’s costed him quite a bit in impact injuries. Respect.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
