Necessity, mother if invention....cousin to opportunity.

For not just form considerations but injury some may now get a run and others more game.

Team sheet will be interesting .

    Out: Viney

    In terms of pecking order I agree, but I think whoever comes in needs to be capable of playing the bulk of the game in the guts if necessary (even if it doesn't pan out that way). I would expect to see Newton with increased "inside" midfield responsibilities, with the likes of Michie or Toumpas to come in to play an outsider role.

    I wouldn't be supset if Michie got a go with a tagging role, I really do think the team is better with JKH in it but I'm not sure who else to take out other than Viney.

    A strong mid body needs to come in

    Michie probably a look in for that role imho

    In: Michie, JKH

    Dawes gives Jamar a rest.

    Clearly you have not been watching our games? Viney was our best midfielder in R2 and in R1 went head to head with Ablett and beat him. Please note Viney was not Ablett opponent when he Ablett went forward.

    Further Viney as a SA boy seems to always have a stellar game when in Adelaide. Viney would be way ahead of N Jones on form.

    You must have missed the bit where Viney has a broken leg and is out for 426.

    I dont expect everyone to agree but Dawes has some straight at the ball, crashing the pack attributes of a back man. Would have liked to have seen him made to match up on the rampaging McCarthy last week for a spell. Once all was lost could have been worth a look and used as a disciplinary move as well. He is not a CHF.

    I must watch the replay but from my memory of what I saw at the ground, DAwes had contests with poor delivery. Often he was one in a pack of 2 or 3 melbourne players. There were many times that the ball spilled and there was no Melb player down. Dawes did chase and harrassed and caused turnovers but was by himself with no support.

    There really did not seem to be too much teamwork. I think Roos alluded to that fact and hopefully they work on that. havent seen any training reports this week.

    Haha... Don't worry, that would've been my reaction too.

    I'm feeling like Jamar forward to stretch the Crows and Spencer in the team.

    I realise that's a move that looks good on Thursday and is a disaster by Saturday but we can't afford to be uncompetitive in the clearances again and if we play a slow lumbering game plan kicking it long to big forwards maybe that will help our defensive set ups.

    It's not the exciting change that will produce the footy we displayed in round 1. But sometimes you have to go a step backwards for a step forward and back to fundamentals and winning the stoppages might be a start. Plus hey, the Russian kicked 5 once. He's due to do it again.

    Play Gus for 3 qts, then sub him off, simples.

    I like the idea of Dawes getting dropped, even tho I called for him to be included in rnd 2 team, and go back to the rnd 1 team. But i suspect the team to go unchanged,

    And if he is playing really well for 3 qtrs why should we?

    Possibly. Just doesn't help our speed at all and if Spencer can't hold up in the ruck for at least 60% of the first 3/4's (after which I'd sub him off) then Jamar has to ruck more and Spencer spends a lot of time playing forward. It also relies on no one getting injured so we can sub one of the rucks when the game opens up.

    I'm just very worried about what happens if we start getting smashed in the midfield against Adel. GWS got nasty enough. Adelaide could be many times worse with their fire power.

    • 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.
