Robbie still patrols the wing!!

Sure does, airborne,  looping through the air, one arm outstretched holding the ball,  with a right or left baulk, driving a long drop punt forward from either foot as if time had stopped. 

 

Pruess is an interesting one.  If Ryder plays which seems likely, he would have to be heavily considered.  

if no Pruess, Weeds will have to ruck a fair bit.  

We need some protection for Gawn

From the injury update and training report, it sounds like Pruess is fit, so it will be intersting!

If we dont play Preuss when the oppo have 2 genuine rucks, you wonder if we'll ever play him at all (injury to Max notwithstanding)

Do we know if he's even fit to play yet?  Even though he was with the main group yesterday, they may still feel he needs a run around at Casey, or another week on the track recovering from his groin injury, before considering him for selection.

Also, I don't believe we got Preuss to play in the same team with Max.  While it might happen on occasion, he is there as insurance.  And he's handy insurance at that.

All true. I have a suspicion that Stynes is in the centre circle directing players, as well. 

I think the Demons will win, but i don’t think it will be a thrashing. 

Our Forward Line and Back line are both fairly raw

I am worried about our pace. Port will inject a lot of it this week. I hope they don't run us off our legs.

We will need to win contested ball and not turn it over and apply plenty of pressure if they have it, to force a turnover possibly from the new boys.

Our pace is fine. 

And they're debuting 4 kids.  They'll be the side run off their legs.

Who else is starting to froth for the first team announcement for 2019?

It will not come down to pace but Gawn and the midfield and our contested footy.

Correct - ball movement (better than leg speed), defensive pressure in the F50, our contested work and positioning from defenders

I am pumped for the announcement and bloody nervous at the same time.

I think there might be a surprise selection - could Petty or Keilty get named? Will all three of Viney, Jones and Melksham get up...it s nerve wracking.

Maxy in the forward pocket... our new small forward!

A fine drop.

Jasper Hill is not bad and also Paul Osicka. The latter hard to find but is worth the trouble.

We've shown our cards too soon with ANB in the ruck. That was our secret weapon 

 

Even with both Lycett and Ryder playing, I think we made the right decision in leaving Preuss out of the side.  I like the inclusion of Corey Wagner as I think he'll provide some strong pressure inside 50, and I think he's also capable of snagging a few goals as well.

I also like the look of both Salem and Fritsch on the wings, as well as having Viney back into the side to compliment the midfield.

Port have still got a pretty strong side in there, but I think we should be able to account for them on the day by 4-5 goals.

I forgot to mention that the PREGAME Thread will be divided into those that say relax we've got this by 100 points and those that think we shouldn't even turn up for [insert reason/excuse here].

"Pollyanna Pregame thread" and

"Pessimist Pregame thread"

I like it.

  • 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.
