Petty was poor last week but Jeffo was far worse last time he played.

4 touches. clangers

Jeffo needs to earn it for a couple more more weeks at casey.

Petty has been ok at times. contested marks. 11 goals and frustrating defenders. No way Jeffo can play that role yet

He did break his hand early in the first quarter.

    Not pining, just want some common sense to prevail, but common sense selection based on FORM and the coach /footy dept dont match! WHILE im at it Brown Dog and Woey are in the same boat. We simply MUST reward guys that are playing well consistently in the magoos, but we dont

    Agree with Lever out, he’s not fit & has had a terribly injury interrupted season, Tmac should never have been dropped

    If the coach has even the slightest bit of selection integrity Petty should be dropped!

    Finally Laurie needs some extended time in the seniors & not as sub, he deserves a chance, he has been treated very poorly

    Wow - both big calls and ones that I back 100%

    I love Lever but he was brought back in way too quickly and has clearly been hampered by his injuries - McDonald should never have been dropped to make way for him

    Windsor has also struggled this year due to injuries (and being played out of position in my opinion) - reckon getting him playing on the wing at VFL could do his confidence a world of good

    Julian DeStoop on SEN said JVR was also dropped (along with Windsor and Lever). Anyone else heard that?

    Haven’t heard it but @Ghostwriter confirmed that they were essentially told this at training today (thanks for the scoop 👻)

    Wow, that's a big call on Lever and Windsor, especially given Rivers was the most likely out after being subbed out against Port.

    Sounds like Rivers will be sent back to defence in place of Windsor.

    I assume T.Mac is back in for Lever and Jeffo in for JVR with Tholstrup in as likely sub - Lindsay back starting.

    I especially liked hearing that Goody intimated that Viney may play forward - been calling for that for some time as he actually is a very accurate shot at goal - he just can't hit up targets with ease.

    Goody showing the guts to make tough calls where it matters.

    Key defenders with 0 mobility, who can't get close to a ground ball are a massive liability.

    Fast, agile, athletic defenders are where it's at.

    Excellent call by Goodwin and Co.

    Finally some selection integrity.

    Dropping an inform T Mac after the club's best win since the 2021 grand final for an injury riddled veteran off a singular VFL return game was anything but integrity.

    Way too late for selection integrity.

    Its been a major issue for several years.

    Dropping Fritsch 12 months too late cost us big time

    Lever wasn't right when he came back.

    Windsor has 2nd year blues & JVR is going through a bad run. However it could have given him an opportunity to play on a Rowell or Anderson or even touk just to give him an insight on some great players

    But fritsch still holds his spot. Mind youu his defensive pressure is a little bit better.

    FWIW worth Petty was slotting them from everywhere at training today. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't play forward

    Windsor gets played out of position all year and then dropped. If I was him I’d tell Goodwin either play me in the right positions or fukken trade me.

    Agree. Windsor was incredible in his first year, they move him elsewhere and his performance suffers. Coaching issue imo.

    There's not even anyone exciting to replace him either. What are we going to see, Billings? Laurie? Henderson? zzz, none of them are the future.

    He did the same with Fritsch, played him half back and all he did was ruin a whole season. It’s moronic.

    While I agree that Windsor has been played out of position, I think his disposal has fallen off over the last month and it looks like he's struggling to run out games (hence the sub selection a couple of weeks ago).

    I think a few weeks at Casey will be good for him.

    Lever on the other hand should never have been recalled over TMac. Hopefully the latter gets his chance back on the seniors this weekend.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.
