in the training thread... he didnt take part in some stuff at the start, but was in all the stuff at the end of training.

really hope hes ok...

You can forgive people for not reading the b$%^&**t thread, sorry the training thread......

 

Dawes is a premiership player who performed exceptionally well in that Grand Final!

Toumpas is???

Steven Armstrong, Mitch Morton, Shannon Motlop.

See a trend here?

Bacm on topic im not happy with selections. And its not a knock on JKH also.

Rumours that jones might not play?

source is just comments on fb - people posting they have heard he may not play.

I don't mind the idea of resting Jones if it means he'll be fit and firing for Richmond next week.

I see you've identified 3 bad players out of the last 300 or so that have won premierships

Do you want me to continue?


Interesting they didn't replace Viney with McKenzie, but went instead with the more attacking JKH. It looks like they are gong to attack....

Toumpas is also 21 Dawes is what 27? Reckon 6 extra years experience, 6 pre seasons and 6 years of good coaching probably makes a slight difference.

 

I'd personally prefer Pedersen to Dawes at the moment. Better hands, better kick, more versatile. He has VFL form behind him too.

He's hardly bashed down the door at VFL level though. He does give some versatility in to the ruck, but he doesn't excel in that role. Slightly better kick, maybe better field kick but shaky in front of goal just like Dawes. More likely to take a strong grab, but less likely to get to as many contests. Certainly not as good defensively as well. It's all much of a muchness, but Pedo needs a few more good weeks in the VFL to replace Dawes I think.


Too top heavy, frost needs to either play a key post or be replaced by a genuine runner imo

I think it's either Dawes or Frost...we need a 2nd ruck option with Hogan and Watts.

For everyone's information, I'm in adelaide with work and it has bucketed down here overnight and is forecast to throughout the rest of the day. Tomorrow is also looking quite ordinary. Wonder if that factors in with the final team.

Sorry to hear you are in Adelaide. Very sad. On the other hand a wet track might just be in our favour. Fancy us in the wet and should be beneficial for the crumbing forwards around the packs. Just got to get it in there and get it to the ground. Hogan and Dawes can do that.

Pedo is named as CHB against Frankston in the VFL so hardly being groomed to replace Dawes in the Forwardline.

Thank you! It's no melbourne that's for sure. The new stadium is very impressive. I don't know I agree regarding the wet deck helping us. Especially if we don't go in hard like the second half last weekend. The forwards amd defence seem fine, it's going to be contested ball and clearances again and as much as I hope I'm wrong, they have far too much strength there. More so with viney missing.

Just day dreaming and deluding myself.

Anyone see the light training run in Adelaide? Which emergency traveled?


I think I saw Michie in the photos..... maybe needed for Jones if he is injured.

Yep he is over there.

Michie completed the 'activation' session today i was there. Garlett wasn't there but i was assured by one of the players that he was just getting a later flight.

not much to report it was pretty low key stuff just a light jog and quite a lot of huddled chat. It started drizzling during session but Salem was as slick with the sherrin as he was one of the two soccer balls out there.

Surely Brodie Smith wont play for the Crows?

That would be borderline medical negligence. If he gets knocked out again tomorrow the Crows doctor will come under heavy fire

He'll play. Getting the 4 points is apparently more important than ones safety.

Plus didn't Parker or some other Swan play last week after a serious concussion the week before?

Yep round 1, pretty sickening clash with Franklin, out cold before he hit the deck.

  • 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.
