At least they were nice enough to not put in 2 rucks.

Hopefully Bellchambers runs out of petrol in the second qtr. He's hadย an injury interrupted pre season and hasn't played since 2015.

    Thats good news. ย Didn't realise he was one of the 34 and its his first game back. ย We need to run him off his feet.ย ย

    Extended bench is Salem, Tyson, Stretch, OMac, Bugg, Harmes and Weid.

    Can't see Tyson, Stretch or Salem (lol) being dropped. Think one of Weid or OMac (but not both) has to play - Weid for the Pedersen ruck scenario, or OMac for the TMac (Pedersen forward) scenario.

    That only leaves a Bugg for Harmes scenario - not a clear upgrade for mine so I wouldn't bother, but don't care one way or the other.

    I see Melks is 'named' on the wing - does a reduction in defensive positioning free him up to be more...um....useful?

    Ugly team. But not terrible. There's a lot of talent in every pocket. Hunt along the wing is a good move. I actually think our backline is nicely structured. Lewis, Frost and Vince is a nice half-back line. McDonald worries me on Daniherpes, I assume Jetta will run with McDonald-Tipencantspellit and I think he'll beat him out. Hibbert can go to Goddard.

    Our forward line just seems...wrong. It's not that I don't like any of the players, but Watts is far more damaging when playing deeper. Not confident in that half-forward line. I wonder how OMac will be used.ย

    Coach's favourite will play wherever he wants, provided he doesn't have to lay a tackleย

    Would be shocked if O Mac doesnt play. ย He will be needed to release Frost into relief ruck duties.

    Watts will be required up forward all game.

    Surely we'd be better with Frost on Daniher than Frost in the ruck.

    Someone has to relieve Pedders.

    If its Watts, we will be barren up forward. ย And Trac is no certainty to play.

    Love your enthusiasm BA but sadly half a century of the opposite from the MFC leaves me with here we go again.

    T. Mac going forward would be a serious option now, surely. Didn't he nearly win us the game against this mob a couple of seasons ago when moved there?ย 

    At least he can match it with Hurley for strength since we have no one with considerable size left to go forward.ย 

    If Daniher is going to have a day out it won't matter who's down back for us.

    Nope. That was Garland. And he did win it for us. Three goals.

    Hannan at full forward ??? I find it amazing he is selected. With Gawn and Hogan missing will be tough.

    I expect Pederson will ruck and T-Mac will follow Daniher in.ย 

    Good thought. ย IF Tommy plays his best and negates Daniher all day -- even following him to the bench when he goes there -- then we are in with a real chance.

    Can't beleive it that Hogan is out. I understand his situation yet I think that the Dees are cursed. No finals this year unless a miracle occurs.ย

    Oh yeah that was a classic. ย THink he was referring to the 2015 game when T Mac went forward in the last quarter and peppered away at the goals, managing one from 4 or 5 shots.

    I envy you for not remembering losses to Essendrug, I wish I could wipe them all from the memory.

    • 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
