Game Day Round 9 vs West Coast @ Marvel Stadium – Sunday 10 May 2026, 1:10 pm AEST

[Crusty Demon]

I hope we pump these campaigners, they’re worse than we ever were at our worst and somehow still aren’t copping enough criticism.

Minimum 10 goals. They are the worst team I've ever seen.

Am of course expecting a loss

Taking my kids to their first game so hopefully I’m wrong

Burn the club down if we lose to this mob. I'd be much more comfortable if it was at the G though. Marvel is a hell hole. Terrible ground. Soulless joint to watch sport but surely we win this and win it well. Hawks, Dogs, Giants and Pies next month. Tricky games with the Giants game up in NT as well where we've been poor. Pies own us and Hawks should beat us, while the Dogs are on a downer, but will surely come good at some stage.

 

[Crazy Vaclav]

Pleased with what we showed against the Swans but it won't count for much if we don't deliver this week. Can't afford another effort like the Essendon game.

As others have said, we really should be winning this one comfortably (and I think we will).

Checkers out sucks but I do hope it means we finally get a look at Kentfield.

Not a bad thing tbh. Where tf does he fit in anyway?

McAdam too.

We need to make a decision on those two + Campbell. Do we opt to put them in the LTI list?

Also, we're seeing life post Clarry, Trac and Vines in the mid rotations.

I'm big on this kid. Bring him in. Can do the mercurial and brings pressure. Just looks a player.

 

[PerfectFooty]

And Bowey means no more Tholstrup kick-ins

Long and to the left really evolved into long and down the middle

 

[jhong]

I hope the team got shown the vision of the Sydney players “ accidentally running into Gawn”at the start of the match . Not enough to be stupid but the lack of protection he gets from his teammates is really shiting me .

 

[Jamurp]

Minimum 10 goals. They are the worst team I've ever seen.

Worst side of the modern era, they are genuine slop.

But, still need to take it seriously.

That final Fitzroy side was pretty bad, but these guys are giving them a run for their money tbh. I'd take Duursma or Reid though.

 

[booshboy]

Unrelated to this week, but just went to get tix in the AFL members for next week v Hawthorn and they're all gone. Could get 75k+ ?

 

[Johnny Karate]

My notes with CJ is follows. Actually looked a lot more composed with ball in hand and didn't panic dump... but if he was the one following Rosas he needed to have touch on him after goal 3 at least

Panic dumping might’ve repelled a few Sydney attacks though. Talk about some 4D chess Sun Tzu level shit Hard for Rosas to kick seven if he’s worried about stepping on a Jobby.

 

[wingersclub]

Unsure if Gawn is sore. Just the way I see it, if so rest him.

Out: Gawn, Mihocek and Cj

In: Matthews Bowey Amw

B: AMW Petty Lever
HB: Howes Turner Bowey
C: Langdon Steele Langford
HF: Chandler Jefferson L.Pickett
F: Fritsch JVR Sharp
R: Heath Kozzy Windsor

I/C Matthews Sparrow Tholstrup Cross Laurie

Unsure if too small, if so then Laurie out instead in Cj

Wheres the Kentfield debut announcement?

We are surely not rolling JVR out there as our only key forward. I am going to assume King is a lot smarter than Goodwin and wont just move Petty forward (god forbid)

We don't play for another four days.

Yes, my bad. Well hopefully hes at least named on the extended bench tonight.

Or David for that matter.

Ticket sales must be abysmal. Who would have thought a lunchtime clash between Melbourne and West Coast at Marvel on Mothers Day wouldn’t fetch a crowd?

In: Jake Bowey, Jed Adams, Luker Kentfield, Andy Moniz-Wakefield

Out: Brody Mihocek (Injured)
