Official Team vs Swans

Featured Replies

Bruce on O'Keefe

i agree, or garland.

 

I'd actually like to see us go into a match with the same team as the previous week. I would however like to see Valenti get another go, probably at the expense of Yze. At least Sydney doesn't have the speediest of midfields, so our leg-speed shouldn't be as much of a concern this week.

 
Or Wheatley.

Or anyone, just not Bartram/Bode. Far to small.

Yet you started off suggesting Whelan?

I agree Bruce is an option but he was pretty good last week on the ball. He also snuck forward to kick a couple of goals. It is just a matter of whether you want to sacrfice that for him to play a purely defensive role?

O'Keefe is tall, but doesn't neccesarily play tall. His game is based around solid run. He does not take contested marks, rather works into space. I don't see why Bartram or Bode wouldn't be a good physical match up. Whether they have the talent is another issue.

Your man CJ might be worth a run on him as well.


Jamar would have to be gone wouldn't he?

Bench should be: Frawley, CJ, Morton and Valenti.

I want to see Whelan in the side, but can't justify dropping the other 4.

Same. Frawley gives us another tall option.

edit: Bailey indicated that there'll be changes -

"DEAN Bailey has indicated that the Melbourne match committee will make at least a couple of changes when the team is selected to take on the Sydney Swans this Sunday.

The Demons have won just one match this season, and face the in-form Swans in Canberra.

"We need to ensure that the players who are in good form at Sandringham are being rewarded," Bailey said."

Perhaps Valenti and Whelan will both come in.

There is a serious strength difference between Whelan and those 2.

Small doesn't always mean height, as you said, he plays small, need someone who can run with him but will show some strength in marking contests.

 

Adem Yze is definitely omitted, I've heard this first hand that he's playing for Sandy this weekend. Strange therefore that he was up there promoting the game the other day....

I think Frawley will be the other one dropped Bailey praised Morton and C.J so I can't see them going out. Whelan and Valenti in.

If you rate Mark Jamar as an AFL footballer it ain't.

Don't know what he will bring to the team with PJ and Whitey already in there.

Maybe Manuka needs a replacement goal post.

This is [censored]. Lets play Jamar over Morton.

What the point in dropping Morton?

because his disposal has been poor under pressure the last 2 weeks... a run at sandy will help his confidence...

Jamar coming in suggests PJ will play forward and give us that target we really lacked last week...


Old Valenti just can't seem to crack it.

if there was ever a week for him to get a game i thought this would be it.

PJ to the square, Miller to push further up the ground and not kick a goal as he'll be forced upfield. Man it pisses me off when they do that to him, HE CAN KICK GOALS FFS!

Valenti should be playing, WHY IS BODE THERE?

if there was ever a week for him to get a game i thought this would be it.

Agreed, Valenti's got to be given some game time to see if he's part of the future.

Then again, I assume DB thinks CJ has a bigger upside and that's why he's got the nod. Give the kid some time at least if that's the case. Just like Valenti deserved.

At this stage of the season we shouldn't always be picking the team on individual match ups. It's the time now to see who can cut it and who can't.

CJ has a chance now, maybe Valenti's will come in a few weeks.

This is absolute bu****it. Vanenti should get a game.

Bailey????

I watch Lyon - no hoper. Bailey???? Watch out!

Somebody on this list called Bailey the next "Brittain". I hope not! But I am fearful. :angry: :angry:

You presume these people have a plan? There is no evidence they have. :angry:

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
