JVR needs to stop running under the ball. He can have a spell if he keeps that up 😩

    AJ might be suspended and Howes ain’t it IMO. Otherwise I’m happy for the same squad. I’m even OK if they give Howes another run given the injuries.

    AJ and Chandler might get suspended - if they are then it could be Laurie and… I have no idea who in, presumably not Billings or Woey 2.0

    Otherwise, no change unless May is returning

    I’d be giving Ollie Sestan a run.

    Not the worst suggestion. Howes I'm just not sure about.

    Against that, isn't Sestan still not quite up to it fitness-wise?

    Langford into the 22 if AJ gets suspended, beyond that no change

    Spoke to him during the preseason- he said he’s the fittest he’s ever been. I’d give him a game over Howes.

    Must have missed that. What did they do?

    I’m referring to Howes’ form but AJ made a pretty rough tackle in the last quarter. No concussion but drove head into ground. Can’t remember how they graded them last year but wouldn’t shock me if he got a week.

    Not sure about the dangerous tackles. I thought both times the GWS player had an arm free but maybe not. 

    Assuming no suspensions, Chandler may still be at risk. Howes was poor but who is better without McVee available?

    Out: Howes In: Billings 

    (Could be Adams, Sestan, Hore but doubt they’re ready. So Rivers back. Billings wing, Langdon mid/forward)

    Out: Langford In: Laurie 

    (no point having the kid as sub, he needs full games in the VFL).

    Disco and Spargo should both be in contention to get forward spots but it mighttake another week unless AJ is suspended

    I think the wind and the kickers are more to blame than JVR.

    Season starts in earnest next week.

    I was expecting a loss today but bitter that we lost a close one.

    North are stacked with talent but rarely put it together.

    This is simply a "must win" game

    OUT: AJ suspended, Howes too many pressure errors

    IN: Turner, Langford.

    Henderson to sub

    Chandler holds his spot, goes to sub when Kozzie returns.

    What's the go with Tickets for this game? Appears like the kids Junior tickets are valid in the membership App... But not the Adult... Assumed we'd get some sort of compensation for heading over there

    Also, where is the ground again!?! Been a while...

    • Haha 1

    I don't get the love for Sharp.

    Other then a run down tackle he was barely noticed. Jack Henderson showed more then him.

    Honestly, if his name was Jack Billings he'd be copping a pasting for that type of performance.

    I don't think we'll make any changes to be honest. I'd prefer not to see Sharp and especially Chandler who is just so meh for a small forward. He does nothing for me.

    I'd be looking at Kynan Brown for either of them.

    AJ 100% will be suspended for that dangerous tackle

    I didn’t think he drove the players head into the dirt, and it was not a sling, unlucky not to have gotten a free rather than give one away  but given the MFC luck and he is not a high profile player, and the MFC will not challenge. And they should. With a better solicitor mind,  not the recent fellow. 

    It's a must win next week. No excuses

    Turner is a very good mark & shot for goal. 

    How many chances do we give fritsch? No scores today & only a few marks.

    Fritsch won’t be dropped. Spargo must be half a chance, Kynan Brown also likely in the mix.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
