A sharp skills session with no drill lasting longer than 5 minutes

All walking wounded not sighted and Spargo

So Neitschke, Lever, Lewis, May, JKH, AVB, Hannan and Walker

Crossy gave Jeff Garlett's shoulders a work out with a tackling drill, Jeff did whole session

Squad still upbeat, no cloud of doom over Goschs,   only bright sunshine

    He has to be a chance.   We are desperate for a small forward.

    Yep its jeffy time. 

    Let's remember how he single handedly got us over the line round 2 last year when we were playing [censored] footy. 

    We need speed, crumbling ability & some x factor.

    We are suffering from lack of speed fatigue that's for sure.  Spargo, Jeffy and Hannan all sorely missed in the forward half.

    Would have to be one of the worst starts to a season injury wise but then again we've had plenty of em over the decades.

    Your bringing problems with no solutions. Don’t be that guy. 

     

    Its dreadfully obvious We are desperate for a dynamic crumbing forward with a bit of spark. When jeffy is on, he’s up there with the best. Let’s see him, I’m ready.

    Nope, and that is one of our many problems. He could hardly get a kick in the VFL last year, and is now a year older. Way past it

    Pruess ruck gawn full forward, use gawn as long option, fixes forward woes

     

    Except he can’t kick straight and defenders would run off him at every opportunity. Max is not a forward full stop. Weideman and McDonald are our key forwards and both need to lift substantially

    And you know what?  You might be right, bobby.

    But we could do worse than give him a crack.  We need a bit of spark down there and Jeffy is still capable of that.  At any rate he deserves the chance to show he's still got it.

    And if he doesn't?  Well, then we know.

    Yes, and if Garlett comes in I also want Lockhart to retain his spot.  That goal last week was great and he brings pressure.

    You need more than one small forward,  just look at any recent grand finalists.

    Don't think Jeffy is a VFL player, the stage is too small. Also, I think he's a victim of the coach's whims. In other words, ANB can get away with running like a hare and getting nowhere fast but that's ok, when someone like Garlett needs and deserves some smart midfield service which unfortunately doesn't seem to be part of the 'Game Plan'. What I know for sure is that Garlett will do more damage without half of the futile efforts of a plodder like ANB. It's the Eddie Betts principal. 

    I don't want this to sound like a put down of Goodwin, but Goodwin, like all coaches, has his likes and dislikes. If it weren't for Roos, Dunn would have finished his dedicated Demon career at Melbourne. In the same way that Dean Terlich's days were numbered when Roos arrived.

    Once again, this is not a criticism of Roos, simply a fact of life that it's horses for coaches in this business, witness Sheedy and Kevin Walsh, Lyon and Dawson etc etc...

    I noticed Spargo cop a knock on the jaw before half time but I thought it wasn't serious because he kept on playing. Another Gaff by the football department like J.Smith?

    2 years is a long time with no spark, Jeff needs a new ignition button installed.

    Hello Simon 

    It's that down to earth footy know it all Picket Fence here.

    Now Simon, we don't have a crumbing forward at present who can kick goals! Come to think of it we don't seem to have many who can and are kicking goals at present. Can I humbly make a suggestion , just a small one??

    TAKE THE BLOODY RISK AND GET JEFFY IN!!!

    Thanks Simon, I always thought I had your ear!

    Cheers

    if you think he wont help then maybe you are seriously delusional. He is agood player.. right now we need good players.. he wont kick 8 and win it for us but he might be an important piece of the puzzle.

    We simply must have fwd line pressure.. Jeffy, Jayden & Jay.. Triple J all need to be in the Fwd 50.

    • 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.
