Just a thought and trying to remember from last few pre seasons, the teams that have been spoken about (both in a good and bad light) in the media, how have they then preformed the following year?

    I think we want to see some of our younger players get an opportunity and perhaps see how Mark Jamar goes in a game if we rest Jeff White and give the Russian the main responsibility in ruck.

    I like it. Obviously the question here is do we or don't we go with youth in each position. If we went with every young player in each spot, we would be wasting our time in the contest. But a few guys being given whole matches would be hugely beneficial...

    - Sylvia to spend a whole game on the pitch, not rotating off the bench. Dare I say it, in the guts?

    - If it wasn't for the fact that we need him to get fit in the pre-season, I'd say Hughes or Hayes for Pickett.

    - Ferguson instead of Holland, who would be too slow for the Hawks talls anyway.

    - Robertson to have the square all to himself while we rest the big man in matches 1 and 2 at least, or...

    - To share it with Juice or any of the other FF heir apparents. Maybe even Garland?

    - Like you said, PJ and Jamar to ruck all day long, assuming they're both fit. Or...

    - One of them to play permanent forward, rucking in the pockets, with Neaves sharing the ruck with the other, just to see how he goes.

    i hope we do win the NAB cup we need the money.

    although we need the money , most teams that win the NAB cup usually play quite badly during the season....

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
