I expect Kent to get another chance this year, it's not a particularly tough team to break into at the moment.

That said, I hope the selectors don't reward Dean for another one-off effort at Casey. He needs to put in three or more consecutive weeks of 100% effort and intensity before they should even think of bringing him back.

    I'd like to see Hunt started at half back. Let him work himself into the game and if he can't, then try a wing or half forward. Without Salem, I reckon we'll need more half back run, so he'll play mostly off half back.

    Valid point. But with Frost showing more run out of defence. Imagine him being able to kick over the top or kick to Hunt on a fast break?

    I think Hunt down back earlier is a must. One of my beefs with many games to date is we seemed to want to jump out of the blocks... We continually tripped up esp as we never seem switched to "100% attention" til the 2nd qtr :rolleyes:.

    Letting all settle into their game/roles and tempering to the tempo seems the best approach at present. We're undermanned. Caution is required.

    As game develops you can 'up' things.

    Tbh Hunt seems naturally aware and adjusts, but start him back. His thrust off the hb is important.

    Dean Kent mirrors the MFC. Tough looking downhill skier In a tough looking downhill skiing team.

    Yeah we were great downhill skiiers against St. Kilda and the Crows.  Some of the best I've seen...

    Actually some of our efforts are more akin to uphill skiing

    He's looked off all year. Pure speculation but it seems something is not right with him mentally. He's never been consistent but he just looks a mile off his best atm. Hopefully his heart is still in it.

    That was climbing the mountain before skiing down hill. I wonder what juicy incentives the players have to get them to turn up this week?

    Injuries aside he would be under no illusion what he needs to work on and he would need to repeat that over several weeks.

    Kent has become a revolving door player,he offers currency thou small and can be traded.

    Looks overweight to me. Which is odd, because for most of the last decade our payers have looked undersized, rather than the reverse. I wonder whether he needs to change his body shape to be less Colin Sylvia and more, say, Christian Salem?

    Dean Kent needs to change his brain and application shape to be less Sylvia, more Salem

    Actually it is. The players being dropped generally fall into the Kent-ANN-Bugg-Harmes-Stretch group. Our midfield is settled. We have 5-6 guys fighting for those 2 additional flank/wing positions. It seems like we're "shuffling deck chairs" as they say but it's clear that Goodwin is trying to get consistentcy with this group. Kent needs a solid 10 weeks at Casey. Not as punishment. He needs to work his way in now. I assume the reason Stretch is having a, ahem, Stretched out time in the VFL is for this reason. We won't see Kent for a while. Whoever is in the side when Gawn and Hogan come back I assume will be there for a while.

    • 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.
