They will even play Ridley injured ... after all, it was just a corked hip, not a concussion ;-)

It is the extended bench

I am simply stunned that Goldstein wasn't an in.

Perhaps the article in the Hun showing that since Scott, we have debuted fewer players than any other team (by nearly double) and have gone from an average of 2nd youngest in 2023 to 6th oldest at team selection in 2024 has burned.

Fingers crossed that Bryan is selected over Wright.

He was.
But watch.... he'll get subbed out with under 50% game time, and "fans" will say he's no good & lacks physicality.

Equally, I'm stunned that Goldy is playing in the VFL side.
But they would have had to coerce him into it since there's no way Visentini could play 1st Ruck solo.

A work colleague informed me that there will be kick to kick after the game today on the MCG. Can anyone else confirm this or is this highly unlikely just like every other week?

It’s likely to be a deal breaker if I stay at home with the kids or we go in and have a roll around on the grass. Thanks in advance.

Answering my own question here for others if interested.

Yes this match is a designated kick to kick match - ground conditions pending.

Menzie - 9 disposals, 33% accuracy. 5 clangers and that isn't including where he slipped over when the ball was heading his way and when he marked on the 50 and didn't see three teammates clear around the goal square.

Shiel is letting Young off the leash when he doesn't run two ways (Young's 3 bounce goal was on Shiel)

Nick Martin also having an off game.

On the plus side - Archie Roberts and Nick Bryan having a good game so far.

And Menzie has 2 clangers in the one passage of play and finished it by kicking it OOTF.

And then McGrath can't hit a target from 15m away which leads to a goal.

FMD - Kept Menzie on field and subbed out Bryan for Davey

Scott is nothing but predictable.
