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

I forgot to elaborate - it feels like a strange decision as we have others like Wagner, Stretch and Maynard, for example, who are more ready made players waiting in the wings. 

But, Goody knows best and he has proven that time and time again. So let's hope Sparrow plays well!

Pecking order established. 

Don’t mind this at all, Port have a ton of youth and pace in their side, Lewis would be the slowest man on the field could get exposed badly

 

So this is definitely confirmed, last training session is normally a 45 min leg turnover on Friday morning, Captains Run, on Wednesday when I said hello to Lewis, he was fine

Just going on Mark Stevens, as he has been right so often, surprised he hasn't used his Demonland identity to confirm

With slippery conditions Port may regret having so many talls so wouldn't be surprised if Ryder is a late out.

They don't have many talls at all.  

Is this confirmed? Can't find anywhere

I was counting those over 190cm+ as being 'tall' in slippery conditions:  Ryder, Watts, Westhoff, Marshall, Lycett, Clurey, Bonner, 3 of which are over 196cm or over

I think we have 5 or 6 over 190cm with two at 196 or taller.

Not a big deal, as I was just guessing Ryder might be rested because of the ground conditions and his injury.

 

I would have thought Oskar Baker would be more ready to debut than Tom, he would give us a bit of extra pace too, but having said that I hope young Sparrow flies high today.

Hammy in the last session of a 5 month preseason?

You’d be cut

especially as its likely his last season

Hammies are an old man's injury, so would be very unsurprising really.  I'd never done one until my last season, but I was hardly the professional footballer that Lewis is either.

Probably done it at this point as he is priming himself to go full bore in training, where as I could understand if someone of Lewis's age and experience could have been more or less in cruise mode up to this point.

This is a bigger out than many are suggesting. Lewis might run like he has concrete boots on, but he is a good user by foot and is a handy general down back.

I would be lying if I said I knew anything about Tom Sparrow. I wish him the best of luck on debut and hope he can get the job done for us.

Better it happens in the last preseason session than 5 minutes into the first game of the season.

Good luck to Tom Sparrow. It’s a great achievement to be breaking into the team this early in the season.

Shocked.

He's looked a mile off.

Agree.

Confirmed. 

 

Looks like I was wrong on Paddy Rider not playing.

Long season for old blokes....

Might need a gold star next to goowindees’ profile for future reference- shared this long before the media caught wind of it.  Well played.


Maybe Sparrow coming in to help cover for Viney & Jones’s interrupted pre-season preparations?

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. 

Pace, midfield speed.   Teams are going for more leg speed with the new rules,  by the looks of it.  

Lew is slow.   He'll be back for the cats,  I think.   We'll need his General ability

they should be right. I reckon they might cover Lewis's absence by having Jones spend a bit of time off half back and Sparrow then gets some time in the midfield rotations.

Perfect time for Jones to play off Half Back

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
