Who will/should get a game by year's end?

Meesen, McNamara, Cheney, Maric and Grimes...

I for one think Maric should definitley get a game by the end of the season. He is becoming increasingly more consistent in producing good performance of late and I reckon it warrants selection.

Meesen I seriously doubt unless two of our ruckman go down.

McNamara and Cheney perhaps to green?

Grimes may get a game if he has a stellar couple of performances for Sandy 1's.

For mine I really would like to see Maric and Grimes by the end of the season.

    If Grimes can squeeze in 3-4 full matches in the Sandy 1s between now and Rd 22 maybe however at this stage that seems unlikely.

    I would really like to see Jace Bode, Issac Weetra have another go. I would like Meesen to see some action too.

    So maybe in round 20 we can have a good hard look at them.

    Maric and I think soon too. It will give him a great deal of confidence and he may just suprise us.

    Grimes too. Maybe Rnd 22. I think it will be the start of something very special.

    I would be very interested to see how McNamara goes, but I dont think his ready. Mentally and physically.

    it would not surprise me if bode gets another un this year after having the chance to work on it at sandy.

    meesen would need a miracle to get a game.

    mcnamara was the youngest player in last years draft want he? and given our current development of garland, warnock and martin he will struggle to push in for a game.

    maric was always a longer term prospect given he is completing year 12 this year, but you never know, they might give him a run.

    grimes, you would think they wouldnt rush him. the kid has had no preseason, so has only been playing in bursts at sandy reserves. if he gets some fitness and plays close to full games for the sandy 1sts and impresses he may get a taste. but there is definitely no point in rushing him. give him a full injury free preseason and he will be cherry ripe for round 1 next year.

    cheney is probably a bit green at this stage, and he hasnt exactly been dominating at sandy.

    Meesen is soo far away from playing AFL football its not funny.

    I would relaly like to see more of Jack Grimes. I dont thionk he is that far away ether.

    Maric and Grimes. The others are 'project players'.

    Wouldn't be upset if Bode came back in, but I don't really think Weetra deserves another go.

    Stef Martin may not play too many games this year as he's still a work in progress, but that one game has been invaluable in terms of teaching him the pace of the game, and what is required. Best of all he didn't look overwhelmed.

    The same thing was done last year with Garland when he was brought in only for a couple of games, just to show him what was needed. And look how THAT turned out.

    Maric is VERY young, but I would have thought he's done the most at VFL level to suggest he's right to come in... Having said that it's all about type. If Davey comes back in, we may not have room.

    Grimes if he's fit is a big part of our future. But he should be played only if he's right.

    Petterd is a quality player. We know this, the footy department know this. He doesn't need to be rushed in. Though it would be nice to have him knock his injury on the head. We DO have to get games into these guys.

    Also I reckon Cheney might have done enough. McNamara has by all accounts looked ok, but is hurt at the moment I think...

    As for Meesen, I don't reckon he'll play this year. PJ, Jamar and White all in the way.

    So for me it's:

    Maric

    Grimes

    Petterd

    Cheney

    In that order.

    I think Grimes is a real chance to play senior footy this year. Grimes could play another 1-2 games in the Sandy 2's, another 3-4 games in the Sandy 1's, and still play for the Dees.

    Maric's a chance, too.

    Although Petterd has debuted, he's been mentioned in this thread, so I'll put my 2 cents in - barring injury, he'll definitely get a gig in the senior side before the year's out.

    PS. Dappa Dan, I think Martin's played a couple now.

    Weetra had better start playing for Sandy firsts, first.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
