Spot on. His name shouldn't come up in discussions for who will be left out.

Stretch showed exactly what you want to see in a young player. His composure and evasive skills in tight situations allows him more options when disposing of the ball. And even though he's not a long kick, his disposal is spot on. With greater endurance and strength he'll get to more contests, and his possession numbers will increase.

Stretch is a really good example of a young player who is clearly being 'taught' well by coaches. He takes the first option, which is more often than not the right one. If you compare this to someone like Jimmy Toumpas (originally coached by Neeld's regime), you can see he is still struggling to eradicate errors from his game, because he fails to take that first option. This is down to the early poor coaching in his career. I think Jimmy will get there though. It might take a season or two to completely erase those decision making blues, but time is on his side at 21.

This is really interesting stuff from G. Healy on how the WCE are defending.

Whatever we do we need to move the ball quickly and dont get into the trap of kicking it long down the line.

We need to run and carry and make the West Coast defenders accountable. We may well try to go small this round. An extra runner or two.

With so many possibilities, this week's selections are fascinating to say the leas! It's hard to imagine that just 12 months ago we wouldn't have been having this delightful dilemma ....... and what's more, we still have a handful of our best 22 on the sidelines. I know that the bye immediately after a great win has me starved for football, but I can't wait to see this week's team. Was anybody near Tullamarine when the boys flew out this arvo?.

 

i honestly have no idea what they'll do this week. playing up in darwin, going up against nicnat, hogan a definite back in, garland a maybe...

B: Jetta - Dunn - Garland

HB: Cross - T. McDonald - Lumumba

C: Tyson - N Jones - Brayshaw

HF: Watts - Dawes - Toumpas

F: Spencer - Hogan - Garlett

Foll: Gawn - Vince - Viney

I/C: ANB - Howe - Stretch

Sub: M Jones

Emerg: JKH - Bail - Riley

Given that Garland is fit, I'd say D Andrew has it about right. It will be interesting to see what percentage of the game Gawn and Spencer will be on the ground at the same time.

As opposed to posting 7000 times on an Internet forum?

pffft, both rank amateurs with pathetic post counts reflecting lack of content :lol:


I have changed my mind 50 times on this weeks changes. I think we bring in Hogan, go tall and sub Spencer or Gawn if its not working. Players that can run need to stay in with these conditions particularly if we go in tall so would not surprise me if Toumpas misses. Garland is a must in.

In Hogan, Garland

Out Riley, Toumpas

I'd like the Toump to get a good run, give him some further confidence and not drop him on the back of one average game.

Agree, he was great against the saints and even if we loose we learn something about Toumpas, perhaps he has two bad games in a row or perhaps Paul puts the heat on him and he has a real impact, its his type of ground in Darwin if he can find some space...

he wasn't "great" hl, he was just ok. let's not get carried away

however, i'd drop bail first

I wasnt getting carried away...he was in our best 3, 26 disposals 5 marks 8 tackles 2 goals and more importantly put his head over the pill for once.

quantity-granted, quality-just ok

Wrong.

He was more then ok, besides the little slip at the end he was fantastic on the night. kicked 2 crucial goals and laid 8 tackles plus the 26 disposal to go with it. Give credit where credit is due, from where he has come from with his serious injury and form he was great that night.

We will be tall forward. But it's possible to work if we are smart with the rotations.

Hogan 85% forward.

Gawn 60% ruck, 25% forward

Howe 70% forward, 15% wing

Dawes 70% forward, 10% ruck

Spencer 30% forward, 30% forward. Subbed at 3/4 time

I think I prefer Demon Andrew's team or that of GeorgiouRRM (above) with Bail and Riley out. Although Toumpas was down on his St.Kilda performance last week, he represents our future more than Bail. Judging from Roos mid-year assessments, I don't think Roos will drop Toumpas based on him being down last week.

The trouble is if you try to be cute with rotations to cover talls it means the mids will suffer and this is not good anywhere but more particularly in Darwin.

If we go in tall then we think it will be an advantage, I'm not convinced and hope we don't.

Go tall, wear gloves.

Planning who to sub off is a recipe for disaster. Dawes or Spencer need to make way for Hogan.

  • 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.

    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.
