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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
