We have some many more options with a designated ruck pedo and watts can play forward with 1 pinch hitting in ruck gives us the option to play petracca in the midfield as well 

In -     Spencer,   Salem

Out -   O McDonald,   Bugg

Pedders forward/backup ruck.  Watts freed up to play permanent forward.

i'll go with:

IN - spencer, salem
OUT - o mac, wagner

bugg needs to kick the goals when they're there, otherwise hes been good.

spencer for omac is a no brainer and salem gives us more than Wags


I know the devil is in the detail but if you are to look at the high level stats - gee both teams are close. Other than the obvious - our better percentage and maringally more contested possessions and more materially their better than avg hit outs (45 filth, 29 d's) and marks (106 filth, 94 d's) - we look very closely matched up. Both of a win too.

Having in spencer would help fix up those two key differences (marks / hit outs) and allow watts / Peddo to take more contested / uncontested in the forward 50. I'm pretty excited about seeing watts especially released up forward after a weeks needed rest and the difference that makes to our forward structure.

I think it's going to be a cracker of a game Monday.

 

we'd only play Spencer if we are absolutely desperate.

lucky for him we are!  so he is in even if not match fit.  Just run into that fat head Grundy all day Speno.  Oli and Jack will do the rest

Im excited to see how our young guys look after a week's rest.  I'm expecting big things from Oliver, Petracca and Hunt.  I know Oliver was still getting heaps of it but he looked tired in the last few weeks, imagine him after a rest!

 

Have seen the AFL.com.au article quoting Josh Mahoney but just get the sense there's possibly some mind games being played here and Hogan might play.  I assume team selection won't be until Saturday so there's some scope to draw things out for a few days yet.  Appreciate an update on training this morning if anyone braved the cold and wet and got along! 


I hope we're up for mind games. Don't even mind the club anteing up for a fine for a 'late change' 

Let's not give the filth an even break. 

Really hoping we could get Jesse and Maxy back for next week against the Dogs (assuming Hoges isn't playing this week). Would be such a lift for the boys

It's a fine line, because we can't really afford to carry a player who isn't fit enough. We've showed we can still beat the best without a ruckman so I don't think they'd bring him in if there was much doubt. If fit though, he'd be a handy addition.

Huge game this week with a lot of external pressures. It's a real statement game though, because if we win we're in the 8. Need to get the 4 points this week.

If Spencil is 'mainly' fit...good to go ..play him.

If not. Don't. Pretty straight forward.

Given it was a shoulder injury he should have been able to do the majority of the 'leg' work so fitness shouldn't be an issue, it'll be if the shoulder is strong enough and I'm sure he won't be picked without a massive fitness test (where's Bryon Pickett when you need him). If they don't bring him in, I don't think it'll be a big problem and we might wait until Gawn is ready before playing a ruck again.

Bernie returns Adams' serve: "It might be (used as a motivating factor). What is he (Dunn) at a successful club now, is he?

Straight to the point!

Adams has dropped Dunne right it in.  The flack is directed at Dunne and he hasn't said a word. 

Ah well, glad Bernie fired it up a bit.

Would have been better if Bernie had said "not sure what'Collingwood's done since he's been there" !!   Never mind, added spice all around.  Bring it on

In the first quarter, perhaps even before the opening bounce.

Elliott a chance to play according to Geoff Walsh on SEN this morning.

 

No chance he plays. They might name him in some lame attempt at mind games though.

Too bad for them Goodwin is not a dodo like Buckley.

 

Bernie fires back !!

IS HE AT A SUCCESSFUL CLUB NOW ?

onya Bernie :)

  • 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.
