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

He trained and did match sim since Freo game moving freely I believe.

that's a little forced with some injuries/suspensions

Kozzy is obviously a major out, and it seemed like AMW was having a good pre-season, but who else? I like these inclusions, but I think they're a clear sign that our existing depth wasn't cutting it.

    Does the Sub come from the emergencies or someone named in the final side?

    Tall Emergency list for a wet weather game but I guess it covers all lines.

    No, those three names won’t be playing.

    For ease of understanding, Jeffo replaces Turner in selected on field team

    Bench is Langford, Lindsay, AJ, Henderson and Sharp. One of these likely sub

    Assuming Billings isn't playing I reckon one or both of the Langdon and Windsor experiments won't be continuing. I expected Billings to be one of our wingers to start the season.

     

    I'm not sure about that. Maybe Goody has listened to Daniel Hoyne and we're looking for a Dan Houston sort of player - run and boot it long (and directed) inside the F50.


    I don't think Jefferson is being set-up for success in this match, given form had just been OK, and its in the wet.

    Likely red vest IMO- but go well son.

    Spargo and McAdam the natural Kozzy replacements, both n/a. Hence why Henderson and Sharp will spend time in the fwd line. The existing depth is there, just not for Rnd1

    Been told that Turner has been left out of team. Was named “on-ground” last night because if they had named Jeffo or AJ then the surprise of their debut announcement would have been ruined.

    All debutants got told this morning

    JVR, Jeffo, AJ are the 3 key forwards

    T-Mac, Billings and Turner are the emergencies.

     

     

    Gotta say...I do love that forward line!

    Interesting shake up from conservative match day selections, but guess that's a little forced with some injuries/suspensions. 

    Agreed. Great to see guys get an opportunity and the depth will hopefully force healthy competition for spots and translate to improved team performance. Hope to see more integrity around selection this year. Reward those at Casey banging down the door and stop selecting guys coming off long injury lay offs that are clearly under done or still not 100%

    Not sure you want a bloke who can only play one position as your sub.

    I know it's his nickname, but if I was the club socials, I'd leave it out for now haja

    Kozzie Suspension.
    NQR: Spargo
    Injured: McAdam, McVee, AMZ, Tholstrup, Melksham, Hore
    Injured (Depth): Kentfield, Culley
    And I know he's left but ANB left a hole for Sharp etc.

    You'd assume Kozzie, Spargo, Kozzie, McVee, Kolt would be in the Best line up if available. That may force players like Howes out of the team when they return, we'll have to wait and see

    I like Disco but he had two practice matches to forget

    Perhaps Jefferson has trained better since then and the FD is happy to roll the dice?

    Well, he’s managed to make himself appear out of nowhere on the MCG.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
