Mate they are not going to drop an AFL captain. Its never happened in AFL history and never will. 

Some of you are so thick not to realise that.

He should drop himself. Now that would be leadership. Is the game all about him or the future of the club?

During WW2 the RAF lost all its experienced career pilots and squadron leaders within weeks of hostilities. Later on there were squadron leaders that were only 18-19 years old running the show and doing a heroic job. However it is easier to replace leaders due to attrition. Difficult to shoe horn out current encumbents due to pecking order and political considerations even if they are totally ineffective and over the hill without pain. Takes courage to make the big call and we will never know who can truly lead when opportunities are denied.  Successful clubs make the ruthless decisions when they have too. We are leaving it a little late. 

Look...as such am or for it...

Oh wait.  You said.... successful clubs !!!

 

 

Same surface both teams...just saying

And another excuse for the boys and coach to use when we lose. 

Actually its injuries that they are concerned about.

I want Frost out, the reality is a don’t know if there’s anyone that can come in. Our spine right now is as poor as I’ve seen it for years at both ends. 

TMac needs to be given hard words this week, I know the delivery to him has been deplorable but he also hasn’t been putting himself in the right positions.

T Mac’s averaging 3 marks and 0.3 goals a game this season. Absolutely pathetic stats from our so called premier forward.

Yep and considering we don’t have Hogan anymore we need so much more from him. If nothing else he need to impact the contest and ensure they don’t have easy exits. 

Bottom line is though there’s so much work we need to do in all parts of the ground. We need to someone to stand the **** up!

I did say for years, that was pretty much what I was picturing. ?

No option but to play Frosty on Buddy as he had a good game on him last season and might give him the confidence that he lacks at the minute although he was ok the last game. The thing is that no one put up there hand to replace either Omac today as Casey were disappointing. Petty and Keilty shot blanks.

In Stretch   and Preuss to rotate with Gawn between Ruck and forward and to go tall and outstretch their backs.

IMO if Preuss plays the rotation could be of value. It might be what we  needed from the start.  I can't see  many changes.

I have no outs  although 2 have to be dropped. It will be interesting.    I am not giving up on the season just yet.  

If Preuss rests forward next to weid whoever plays us is going to waltzing out of their backline even more freely than they are now. He isn’t going to fix this glaring  issue, he’s going to make it worse.

Imo it largely won't matter who we pick as they will not increase the skill level above Friday night. We will only show better results when the likes of VDB and Lever return. Until then we will get more of the last five games. However I would try Keilty and / or Preuss, we need someone in the forward line who can stand their ground and take a grab.

Not so sure about 'take a grab' as it sounds and will most probably involve more 'bombing' to so do. Deep forward and flanking leads are the things we need and so far, only the Melk seems able to do this - on occasion. We do miss Hannan's ability to just 'bob up' into the action and rove around for something on which to score. This may well involve another 'just standing their ground', such a Preuss - or the big fella just leading straight out - no-one will get in his way if life itself is important to them. Vanders is a big loss, as well, around whom protection and pathways are made available for the forwards. Chaos footy has led to random efforts and this does not auger well for this year.

We're in trouble unless we reign in our defensive ineptness. Can't even see us beating the Saints at this point.

Can’t be any worse. Our forward pressure is a joke. At least he can put one or two defenders  on their arses and make them pay.  Stir the pot with a bit of beefy mongrel and create opportunities for crumbers as well as hopefully disorganise the defence.

I would go small at either end of the ground.. if TMac plays, it should be on a wing. Frost to stay, Omac to be dropped. I’d play Fritch back with Wagner as medium talls. 

Stretch in, would be my only change. Possibly Garlett if we have a need due to injury.

list is as deep as the Clark rubber kids pool on special for $12.90

Frost has to go, simply cannot gift him another game, TMAC send back until he finds some confidence and Garlett in for pace up / x-factor up forward.

TMAC is flat out running at the moment.

He looked really sore on Friday.

Absolutely. Cooked right from the first bounce. Not going flat out, taking half steps, allowing the ball to bounce rather than going flat out at it. And to top it off poor body language and complaining to the ump.

Are you serious they beat us last season when we were travelling much better than now - they would be licking their lips at the prospect of playing us atm

What options do we have available? Our main training session is on this morning.

Preuss looks a likely inclusion if T Mac is indeed hurt and can’t play. Stretch would be next in line you would think due to his restricted minutes yesterday. 

There were two VFL games on Friday, why didn’t  they schedule Casey on that day? The fixturing between VFL and AFL seems out of sync sometimes.

Dermot brereton gave a succinct analysis of tom on sen on saturday crunch time. Basically Tom's a defender trying to be a forward but without a true forwards trick bag. Runs straight at the ball and thats about it. Derm was being fairly honest and instructive and worth a listen. 

Seems like Pruess is the likely inclusion for McDonald who is in serious doubt due to his ankle.

Stretch was BOG for me and has been playing really well at Casey the past few weeks so he deserves to be rewarded. Id bring him in for ANB who is just a potato. But due to Goody's love affair for him i would not be surprised if its KK who makes his way out. He's done nothing and another who just looks completely underdone.

Looks like Petty was taken off and rested for the 2nd half of yesterday's game. He could come in for Oscar. Frost wont get dropped as he will likely go to Franklin.

  • 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.

  • 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.
