Dangerfield/Selwood/Ablett

So round one we face the most intimidating lineup of midfield A+ graders I've ever seen.

It reads like the mid line of a fantasy football team.

Anyone else worried about getting pantsed here?

 

If Viney was playing he'd chicken wing Ablett within 5mins.
Selwood would spend half the game getting patched up on the bench.
Not confident he's gonna make it though.

whatever happens you can bet the pollyanna's will be out to remind us that it is not the end of the world.

After round 23 can you ever be confident about this team.

Perhaps that midfield is aging and slow ... we can but hope

Frankly if you look at many of our upsets last year ... we kicked straight and they didn't ...let's hope Round 1 is a repeat

The photo of Viney driving him into the ground a few years back is one of my all time favourites.

I think it started the 'Jack Viney Made Me Cry' thread.

Would love a repeat.

And our Geelong loss was we didn't kick straight and they did.

This one?

 

...And JV just strolls away leaving Selwood wondering what hit him!

Those two pics aren't even from the same game

 

And just for the fun of it put Bernie onto Dangerfield

True but does it matter? 

Just shows how Viney can work Selwood over and over again. 

Bit of fun with pictures.

Well those photos make me feel better.

Jack Viney for round 1!

I'll get in early and say that a Round 1 loss isn't the end of the world.  You're a goose if you think it is.

Will be such a great test for us... thats some serious firepower...  I'm not sure Abletts body will hold up all season but you can be sure he will be primed for Round 1.

Never forget, the third midfielder, Dangerfield, cannot stand having a 'weekend with Bernie' or Petracca, or even Frosty - cannot forget that game Bernie played on him, for example. Made him look ordinary...

...and no matter what, Ablett will be well cared for by the umpires, extracting the sympathy vote at every opportunity...for which he has some fame over the past two years .... Possibly best if Frosty takes care of him across the game, preventing him from staging and getting into hot water .

we don't think Viney will be right to play in 3 and 1/2 months time?

Apart from the fact I hate Geelong I believe they are grossly overated. Adding Ablett to their side won't change anything. Dangerfield is their only real weapon.

If I was them, I would be more worried about lining up against Oliver, Viney and Petracca with Gawn in the ruck...

...and how is their depleted defence going to cope with Hogan, Tommy Mac and Jeffy...

plus a lacklustre forward line that relies on Hawkins.

I think we've got them covered

Not now. If they were playing together a few years ago, perhaps. But Ablett and to a lesser extent Selwood are getting on a bit. And three quality midfielders is not enough for today's game.

I think Brisbane's early 2000s line up of Voss, Black, Akermanis, Lappin and Power all in their prime together has the above trio covered and is possibly the most fearsome on ball line up of all time. 


I reckon Hawkins holds the key to this game. He absolutely pansted Oscar and Tom McDonald in Rd 3 to the point where it was embarrassing.

He has absolutely owned us apart from the one game when Dunn held him to just 2 goals in 2015...and surprise surprise that was the only time we've beaten them in 10 years.

Not to mention losing Gawn early and someone else I forget.

Look on the positive side... I would say that the chances of Ablett making it through to the first round are probably as bad if not worse than Viney's.  He's likely to be carrying a dodgy shoulder for the rest of his career and the odds must be pretty high that he may not be ready to go in round one, or will be operating at a much reduced level at best.

 

Selwood hasn't  got going in pre season as yet. Ablett questionable. Defence weakened with the absence of Mackie & Lonergan. Motlop also a loss.Forward line not always that functional.  We must be a real chance.

  • 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.
