Very unlikely to Stretch on the G again. Great heart, great trainer, not so great on the skills & footy brain required to compete and win at the next level unfortunately. Wish him all the best.

 

 

 Before he got injured last year I thought he was on the up.  I wouldn’t be writing him off

Sparrow was very good in the practice game against a fairly strong Pies unit

I would rather Lewis tho - he was good all preseason

I was there.  He barely touched it.  Kicked a nice goal.

With injuries and suspension in the backline that’s a big out of correct.

For all of his aging legs he is still the best general we have down back.

Its amazing that now a Marty Hore gets a chance to take some of the important kick ins and may be the direct swap for Lewis to start on the ground. A natural kick plays small and tall and a regular attacking backman. Will  be up and about and will  take his chance to play his role well.

Lewis is as good as his last game.

Which was worse than terrible.

I probably shouldn’t reveal that but signs aren’t good for Josh Wagner, Corey Maynard & Billy Stretch. 

 

Sorry but all players will get their chance at Casey and it's a long season 

Maynard this time last year looked like it was certain but injury cruelled that and form since hasn't been the same.

If happning, I'm assuming this is not a like-for-like change and that we're more likey to see some variety of Hunt, Fritsch and Salem spending the time in defence while Sparrow becomes a bit of extra grunt-weight.

I trust Salem to take responisibilty in defence, I trust Fritsch to make a fist of it anywhere he's sent, and I, uh, hold onto lingering hope that Hunt can get back to his sabre-slashing finest any moment now.

I'd plonk him on a wing where he can run or in forward line for some added speed and pressure

Guys, I can let you know that Tom Sparrow will debut tomorrow as Jorda Lewis won’t play. 

Good luck Tom

 

Did you read that in a tweet?

Last year we went for Maynard in the first round? See this, if true ,as a bit strange, so hope we fare better than last year. 

We have passed over a fair bit of experience.

Good luck to Sparrow but it all counts after round 22.


Hammy in the last session of a 5 month preseason?

You’d be cut

especially as its likely his last season

Good luck to Sparrow. Preuss must be wondering why he joined the club, can't get a game ahead of Wagner or Sparrow very much left field choices.

They are playing 2 ruckman I think that would be enough for team balance.

Either way, it's all on Goodwin's shoulder's.

So because Port are playing 2 rucks, we should do the same? Great theory

Seems a strange decision, but if it's going to be a bit wet and slippery, then playing Sparrow makes sense. The FD must really see something in him because, as others have said, he looked a fair bit off the pace through pre-season. 

Hoping that he plays a ripper game and surprises us all.

Given the conditions and the emergencies available it definitely makes sense. 3 talls and one small on a possibly wet pitch. No brainer.

rain should be over by game time and mcg dries out very quickly (only 2mm forecast and in morning)

Agree. The humidity will see to it that the ball will seem slippery. In Darwin last season it looked like wet weather football to me from the boundary. Preuss is important and will get his chances.

  • 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

    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.
