Lever is listed on the ground but isn't listed as an "in". I'm confused. Shouldn't be listed as an inclusion?

    Spargo broken scapula. I broke my right scap in a bike stack. It’s super hard to brake as it’s covered in muscle. Must’ve been a big whack.

    There were two ...just sayin ' 😉

    TMac not included confirms that he was indeed omitted last week, as per team selection list at the time.

    He was not "rested". He was dropped.

    I tend to agree.

    They don't want to get this path wrong.

    You need physicality in your team and on every line, he brings that in spades.

    Team orientated, selfless and can knock a few skittles down when the occasion arises.

    His confidence will continue to grow and you never know he might bob up and take a couple of towering grabs and kick a couple of snags in the accompanying months.

    Agreed. I would certainly like to see him in our team against pies. I'm not saying AJ is an enforcer but he could be if required. It's been a while since we have had players that dish a bit out. So he needs to play against the Saints.

    Jvr is probably a better choice but AJ isn't just there for his looks and marking ability.

    Vineys always dependable to stick up for his mates and Melksham certainly doesn't lack ticker.

    So if Viney plays forward it would make defenders very nervous.

    I'm tired of seeing Cwood rough us up. Time to give a bit back and see how they like it.

    AJ is certainly the bloke that could do it. I think he may be a gentle giant but only a fool would test him.

    Team selection this week proves one thing

    That I myself have NFI of what’s going on.

    It’s well past my logic. Go Dee’s

    What’s so hard to understand about this week’s extended squad?

    Perhaps, Adams in the squad rather than JMAC. JMAC was unlucky on form to be dropped.

    Admittedly T Mac was a bit stiff to get omitted, but we swapped Lever for T Mac. A tall for a tall. Maybe it’s a sign Adams is getting a little closer, competition for spots is healthy.

    This is very easy to pick. Viney in for Spargo. That’s it.

    Bench will be Turner McVee Rivers and AJ.

    Sharp sub, or if they want to get a full game into him at Casey, Laurie a sub smokey.

    I'm guessing Adams is back up for Lever in case he doesn't get up.

    So does tom mcdonald play for casey this week?

    Unless he's injured, yes. Not an emergency.

    He's ahead of Adams, but you can't have guys not playing each week because they're emergency, so Tom drops back to at least keep up his match fitness.

    How could Sharp NOT be in the starting 22?? If he aint the sub and Laurie gets a gig... selection is STUFFED!

    I reckon the entire channel 7 team will be there as it is a designated CH 7 game.

    The Foxtel calling team till be calling from a studio aside from the designated boundary rider who will be at the game.

    Apparently the callers at the studio have access to vision that the viewer doesn't while they're watching the game live.

    Garry Lyon admitted on radio earlier this year that he hadn’t appreciated how good Tom Barrass was until he saw him live, as he’d only seen him on TV when he played in Perth.

    Studio-based commentary is sub-standard. Foxtel know that but don’t care.

    That’s right, bing. He said he was dropped and he knows he’s gonna have to work hard to get to his 250th this year.

    Because he’s shown next to nothing when he’s played from the start mate.

    His energy shines through when he comes on for a quarter when the opposition’s tiring.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
