Changes v North

My changes for this week...



IN: Tapscott, Davis


OUT: Kent, Garland (inj)



Casey had a bit of a shocker, but those 2 guys have had consistent form over the last month and deserve to show if they're up to it at AFL level or not. 

A fair few young guys look like they need a spell a VFL level (Kent, Toumpas, Clisby, M.Jones) but it's important we don't make too many changes.

 

in: tapscott, strauss

out: garland, kent

when is spencer due?

FWIW I don't think Fitzpatrick will get up for this week. The fact he didn't ruck in the 2nd half might be a sign his knee hampered him a bit

I didn't know he was knocked up...

You old card you.


Out: Toumpas, needs a rest he looked distressed when he came off, and Garland if he can't get up

In: pederson, Magner

Out: Toumpas, Garland

In: Tapscott, Nicholson

FF: Blease Fitzy Watts

HF: Byrnes Dawes Kent

C: M. Jones Jones Trengove

HB: Terlich McDonlad Howe
FB: Clisby Frawley Dunn

Foll: Gawn Sylvia Viney
Int: Grimes Tapscott Nicholson

S: Davey

I think Toumpas needs a rest. 2 possessions, not a great defensive job and emotionally spent. Coming off the back of a trip to Darwin it makes sense to rest him. Nicholson is the best available replacement in terms of midfielders - the cupboard is simply bare.

As far as replacing Garland in defense I think it's at the point in the season where we start to look to a teaching role to a degree so I think it's time for Howe to learn how to use his body in a contest and mark the ball on a lead without taking a hanger every time. He's also a nice match in terms of his ability to play tall or small. Therefore I'd move him to the backline and include Tapscott in up forward.

 

would tapscott potentiall play the medium defender role for garland?

If Garland isn't going to get up then it's Davis to get his chance. We already know what Pedo can do and it's not that much.

Toumpas looked sick last week. If he was then we can shrug and accept that he probably shouldn't have played. If he wasn't then it's probably time for him to have a break and give Strauss a shot.

Gawn managed ok in the hitouts but wasn't great around the ground, so maybe swap him for Spencer. If Fitz doesn't get up then we can have them both but that is less than ideal.

Not good. Your dad jokes are terrible. Or is it a case of too many sleepless nights waiting for the royal baby, eh Stuie?

OUT: Garland, Kent

IN: Davis, Tapscott

North are very hard at the ball. We might need Spencer to replace Gawn to counter Goldstein's dominance.

Is Spencer better than Gawn? And was Gawn really defeated by Mumford/Pyke and Leuenberger? I don't think he was. And I also think so far Spencer's record was a defeat by Warnock against the blues and a victory over McEvoy against the saints. Hardly dominant form when he has been in. Let's hope Fitzy is ok though.

Well at 180 cm he may.


Well at 180 cm he may.

Really? i thought he was taller than that :/ okay ignore that idea.

Out: Fitzy(knee), Garland (ankle), M Jones, Kent

In: Pedersen, Davis, Magner, Tappscott

FF: Blease Pedo Watts

HF: Byrnes Dawes Howe

C: M. Jones Jones Trengove

HB: Terlich McDonlad Grimes
FB: Clisby Frawley Dunn

Foll: Gawn Sylvia Viney
Int: Tappy Davis Nicholson

S: Davey

Pederson replaces Fitz and chips in the ruck to assist Gawn.

I would like fitz to play, but lets be honest, his impact stopped as soon as he suffered what appeared to be a jarred knee or hyper extension.

I imagine he pulled up sore.

Davis replaces garland, clearly not an ideal replacement given garlands season but Davis needs another crack and has good potential.

Matt jones has not had the impact he demonstrated a few weeks ago, perhaps he could do with a rest. Although jimmy had a quieter game in the VFL against essendon this week, he and couch have been machines in the vfl for the last two months. With jimmy doing the bullocking in and under work, guys like toumpas, jones, grimes, trengove, viney and clisby can do a little less hard ball getting in congestion and work on their delivery to the forwards.

Also, Howe is a forward, he can take marks on the lead and is very good at it as well as being the best specky taker in the league, he is not a half backer, hence listed in the forward line.

Nicholson in the midfield as a tagger, perhaps on boomer, swallow or zeibal, or whoever is their current most effective mid.

Nichos effort cannot be denied, but often his disposal is not great. However he has a massive engine and can be quite aggressive, i reckon he could be a very good tagger.

How's Joel MacD been travelling?, reckon he's got a bit more going as a replacement for Garland than Sellar, Gillies, Pedo etc. Yes he isn't the future but a battle hardened body to come in against the Kangas who have a habit of rag dolling us

That's fantastic news!

Another little Demon supporter!

All the best to you and your partner.

We have to breed them in, it's the only way!

Cheers mate.

What's with all the Tapscott love?

The guys had numerous games this year and struggles to get a kick.

Leave him at Casey he is reasonably effective there.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
