Shattering news for Fritsch but seems logical with the Eagles tall timber

Who'd have thought, just 6 weeks ago, that we'd be fiercely debating team composition in a Prelim? Nice problem to have.

For me it's No Change, and we let Omac, Frosty, Hibbo manage the talls with a chop out from Max and his support

But it's great that we have some depth to cater for team balance and injury cover

Given our high pressure midfield game, I think there's something to be said for letting Hibbo be the intercept more rather than taking a tall 1v1. Our high intensity can result in average entires for the opposition team, so having Hibbo ready to chop is always handy 


if fritsch out is true - it sounds like goody wants to go all-in on winning this game from the midfield ...

What about the small timber? Ryan, Lecras and Rioli?

Apart from the fact that Smith trained with the main squad (as did a few others), were there any indications that Bayley knew this, or that Smith knew he was in?

At this stage do we have anything more than rumour or heresay?

source please

Goodwin said the Demons have planned to remove players out of the Casey line-up in the case they beat the Eagles on Saturday. We'll get to that , if that situation arise  Was in the paper today. 


All things aside the potential Smith inclusion is risky from a fitness perspective alone I would have thought. How many games has he been back for?

Maybe Casey just want Fritta back to win them the flag on Sunday only for him to come in next week against the Tiges and Fritta can win two flags in the one year. 

That would be nice.

Thought I saw a group of Casey players gather for a short time at training on Wednesday. They included Joel Smith.

I hope it is a rumour. Need the cohesion in the backline, Bayley Fritsch is reasonably tall and has had his position locked down for a while. Rumour or MFC "fugazi" at play.

In a  couple of hours we will know.

Tough call for match committee. Obviously a difficult call to make but this is a preliminary final and match ups are critical - especially with their multi faceted forward line.

I am a big Fritsch fan but as others have mentioned freeing up Hibberd to be the interceptor and using Smith to cover a smaller forward might be the thinking. Smith also provides an option if Kennedy or Darling are getting away from Frost and OMac. Gotta have options in a prelim - especially with two players that could win the game off their own boot.

It might be Tyson who goes out yet but the more I think about it the more I like having Smith in. 

 

I think other than the Petty selection, the FD IMO has done pretty well and we are in a Prelim after all.

I like it. Gawn cant do everything against those eagles behemoths and Frost and Omac will need all the support they can get. Seems sensible Fritsch unlucky.

  • 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.
