I was hyping Kolodjashnij up all pre season but seems I’ve got it horribly wrong. Bloke’s awful. Can’t find the pill

Or might just be underdone and has been brought in to provide some skill....or he's not.

So hard to tell at Melbourne !!!

We are getting killed by: 

Lack of speed in the midfield (center of ground). Teams are bursting out from the congestion and spreading faster which opens up the ground, and making it virtually impossible to defend.

Lack of forward pressure (most our forwards are slow to react and only do one act of pressure). It comes out far to quickly  (and with time) to a midfield that can't keep up with its opponents.

Lack of accountability in the backline, we are constantly getting beaten one on one, but worse, we often don't make it to a one on one, and when we do it is often a miss match  (small on a tall).  

Lack of ruck options - all teams are going with two against Gawn (regardless of quality); and even running a third tall against him.

Thats a lot of area's to address, maybe:

Garlett      Pruess     Lockhart

Hunt          Weid        Spargo 

Fritz          Oliver     Stretch

Viney         Frost     Salem

Jetta         Tmac     Jones

Gawn Harmes Brayshaw

Bench Petracca, Baker, Hibberd, Keilty

Is Hannan fit? We also miss AVB.

It was staggering watching him plod 15 metres behind opponents early in the game and even struggling to run to the interchange at times. His injury came at a bad time for him and he’s definitely struggling fitness wise.

Too early to maybe make a call on him but someone like Stretch must be scratching his head pondering why he can’t get a run while others seem to be getting a game just to gain match fitness. I’m not the biggest fan of Stretch but surely the bloke could run 120 minutes out and might provide some pressure to opponents even if it’s perceived. Unfortunately, that’s where we are at the moment.

Biggest issue is we play Thursday.  Keep an eye out and see if anyone is ‘time managed’ who is playing well at Casey.  The short turnaround may impact selection.

Casey plays at 11.40 on Sunday and it is ridiculous to suggest that anyone playing Sunday would front up in the seniors in Sydney Thursday night. I assume in early preseason planning that the club anticipated minimal changes for the Sydney game. Now with so many players out of form that the club is in a bind how to manage players

I cannot see any changes unless Stretch, Garlett, Keilty, Harrison and Smith don't only play a half on Sunday. The Casey bench has no MFC listed players 


changes for Thursday

out with current plan

in with a new one...something a bit more multidimensional

I can’t see what his strengths are.

He’s not quick, not particularly skilful and doesn’t get the ball very often.

I seriously will not watch our team until ANB is out. He is [censored] useless...

Anb out jeffy in. 

Our forward line would be seriously quick then. 

FF      Jeffy   tracc   Melk

HF     Hunt   tmac   Lockhart 

C       Jones     Harmes  Salem

HB    Hibberd  Weid  Fritsch 

FB    Jetta    Frost     j Wagner 

Fol   Gawn   Oliver   Brayshaw

Int   Kk   Preuss  Viney  c wagner

 

Send weid to chb couldnt do worse than omac.

I think preuss needs to come in on the bench and give maxy some time at FF. 

I just spoke to someone close to one of our senior players.

I was told that  Pruess will almost definitely play against the Swans. He has been battling abductor issues but should be right to go on Thursday.

Wonder whether they will pull him out of the VFL game.

Pruess at FF is not the dumbest idea. He has kicked 5.6 in 8 appearances. I fancy Hunt or Jeffy at his feet.

Plonk him in the goal square and tell him not to move unless called to chop out for Gawn. No interchange breaks for him. 


Can't see the point of Garlett playing in sydney. It is a small useless dump with no room to move. Wait for the saints game.

Oliver and Brayshaw need to realise they are our offensive centre square mids, to often they are unnecessarily engaging opponents at the bounce as opposed to directly hunting the ball, leave harmes and Viney to do that. Change that and it'll make us a lot better

Out- ANB, Kolodjashnij,OMac, Frost, J. Wagner

In -Pruess, Garlett, Stretch, Keilty, Oscar Baker

Tmac and Kielty down back, Pruess up forward with Garlett, Stretch and Baker for outside run.

 

In- Team Defence Mark's inside 50

Out- Vacant defensive 50 everyone going for the same ball/contest.

I would move track to the centre square and let fritsch do his thing forward.

Out - Jones, Omac, tmac, anb

in - keilty, pruess, Garlett, stretch 

I will lose interest in this season without a shakeup like this.

  • 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.
