We should treat our last 4 games no different to how every other club treats the NAB cup!

There is nothing wrong, unethical or against the sprit of the game for our club to treat our last four games any different to how every other club treats the nab cup, that means we have the right to play players who are on the chopping block to see what they have got (remembering we have to cull at least 5 players), we can rest anyone who is sore/injured, we can play players out of position. Every club would do the same and it does not take away from the fact that we are Melbourne the oldest and greatest club in AFL history! 2010 started 7 weeks ago when our finals hopes this year were mathematically over

 

Best way to learn anything. I agree. Do not listen to the Media Devils. Be strong & run your own race.

Could not agree more!

The fact of the matter is, apart from maybe Warnock and Frawley forward, I have seen most of the players / positions before.

McDonald has played back before, Johnson has played CHB before, Miller has taken centre bounces before etc etc, so the excitement over players being out of position is a bit over the top.

And when you actually look at what both Johnson and Newton had delivered in the forward line for most of the game, it was sweet stuff all!

Warnock and Frawley actually provided a contest, whereas the other two were irrelevent all game!

 

A good analogy there BA... solves all argumetns really as thats essentially exactly what we're doing...just happens to be in the season proper..a season with nothing else to offer......except ................

Yeah, brilliant pick up... surprised nobody has noted this before


Great OP, and every post in this thread has been right on the money. As DB (I think) said in May, there would be lots of experimentation this year, especially towards the end. He's had to be a lot more creative because of our terrible run with injuries for the past few games, and then during the game on Sunday. We've learned a lot about many players in that time that will be very useful to carry forward.

No diff to use throwing Martin forward and or in the ruck or Garland forward or in years gone by Miller to CHB, the Grimes one was the funniest, he was drafted as a midfielder!

Couldn't agree more we have been the whipping boys of the AFL for as long as I can remember with getting Sunday games year in year out, not helping us with major sponsorship deals like they did with the Mission and Luxbet Deals ect...

This is our chance to get something off the AFL. If we don’t I think we have blown a big chance to get something all our fans have been hanging for for the last 25years an A GRADE Midfielder someone who we can "hopefully" say in 3-5 years might be in the top 5 players in the AFL. Something I’ve never been able to say.

Maybe they have, but didn't go to the trouble of posting it. Nice work 'bruce almighty'.

  • 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.
