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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
