Time to bring back Stef.

Jamar needs a rest.

His second and third efforts alone are worth a recall .

    Are you suggesting that perhaps Jamar will reveal a "nagging injury, manifest as general soreness" for the next round?

    The selection would be back to the Bailey days.

    No accountability, no structure, no discipline, no footy smarts.

    Stef has plenty of footy smarts actually. He was instructed to take the game on at all times due to his size and mobility being hard to match up on. So it might have looked like his accountability was low but this was his role.

    Saw him last night and he is as excited as a kid in a candy store to be playing again shortly and his body is back to its best. He will be back and about later in the second half of the year.

    Fair enough, I'm glad he's better, but he'll need 3-4 weeks (@ Casey) to play an accountable, negating role and realise his role in the team.

    He's not a ball carrier, or a designated kicker, or given license to fly for anything.

    He needs more discipline.

    With Jamar locked in and Gawn/Fitz looking the goods (early stages I know but I have faith) and Clark/Sellar good pinch hitters I wonder if big Stef might be worth something to a club that needs a ruckman, a club say with an ageing big man and a couple of young blokes night quite ready, a club that has a few young but hardened mids we might like...

    Collingwood anyone?

    You have a lot of faith. Gawn has just had his second major reconstruction and Fitz has shown nothing in my eyes.

    If we trade Stef, then we will need to pick up another ruckman in the draft.

    Yeah your right, it just seems strange that we have Jamar Martin Gawn Fitz and Spencer. Is that an average amount of ruckman for a club? Seems alot to me

    As soon as Martin is ready.

    Most clubs have around 5 ruckmen on their lists. Though often 2 or 3 are relatively unknown because they live in the VFL, like most opposition supporters would know little of Spencer, Fitzy and Gawn. Those last three are all still speculative IMO and I don't like Clark or Sellar in the ruck (for different reasons).

    Martin had his best season last year, and has been injured this year. I'm interested to see if he can fit in with team balance and Neeld's game style. I think we're lacking a back up to Jamar who can at least compete in the ruck and be useful around the ground and Martin's more likely than anyone in the middle term.

    • 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.
