Does anyone no whether Beamer or Sylvia are actually injured?

 

Yay! McNamara's in the squad.

I'm totally baffled as to why he hasn't played either of the past 2 games.

Dunn too.

Good to have aussie back in there.

Looks like we are going in 6 - 8 short of the A team. I'm getting the feeling that the pieces are coming together nicely for a Round One tilt at the Hawks. Plus continuing to get game time into and knowledge of Gysberts, McKenzie, Maric, Cheney, McNamara, Bail, Strauss and Fitzpatrick. Jeeez I'm looking forward to the real stuff starting...

Nowhere near as enthusiastic about Dunn as I am about McNamara. And Aussie, for that matter.

Those bolded are those who you would think would be certain to play Round 1 (if fit). So that's a pretty sizeable missing list from our 'Best 22'.

Rapt to have Aussie back. Just rapt. Also pleased to see how little Tommy Mac goes - he is very young still and I wonder if he's going to be one of those blokes that just slowly develops. No idea how he'll go, but best of luck to him.

Aussie, my only request is that you come through without injury. I don't care if you have donuts. All I want is game time and being injury-free.

I'd doubt very much that Watts will play Round !. I like seeing McNamara and Strauss playing. If McNamara makes it It allows us the freedom to play Garland forward. And Strauss was pick 18 in the Superdraft so I'm expecting quite a bit from him. He needs to stay fit and on the field.

Any team adding Bate, Bruce, Davey, Moloney and Sylvia for round 1 is going to be better off.

Does anyone know what is wrong with hughes? he didnt play last year not going to play this year whats the point in having him on the list. how old is he? 24?

I'd doubt very much that Watts will play Round !.

If he's fit, and I mean 100% fit, I think he will play.

I like seeing McNamara and Strauss playing. If McNamara makes it It allows us the freedom to play Garland forward. And Strauss was pick 18 in the Superdraft so I'm expecting quite a bit from him. He needs to stay fit and on the field.

Agree with all this. I see a real future for McNamara, and he should be playing much more regularly than he currently is. And anyone with Strauss' footskills is a walk-up start into a Melbourne side. Fitness and experience are what he needs most.


Very happy with the changes (except for Morton...)

Hopefully Watts, Bate, Garland, Bruce and Blease can get a run in the last practice match, although I have no idea how close they are to being ready.

  • 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.
