Fairly obvious Tommy Mac is not fit. Obvious in JLT 1 that he was not ready  to play a game. Had both ankles done in off season and should not have been targetted at JLT series.  Needed more weeks in preseason mode to build fitness base. Viney and Oliver, probably Jones in same boat. May too.

I'm not sure that's his fitness base,  'dmnc'.

I think he's to sore to run normally...  guessing,  as I heard he was jabbed in the ankle, or foot,  or toe,  on this weekend past. ???

I agree with you Re Viney and Jones, and I think the fact they played in Casey's practice match,  instead of our senior JLT match.

 

This business of pushing players to play coming off injuries is causing us major issues,

Gawn coming back to early a couple of seasons ago backfired.

Viney continuing to play thru the Plantar Fascia injury caused issues,  and then he came back far too soon.    Now maybe a chronic foot ???

Tmc's toe injury as well last year,  and now he's got ongoing issues...   and they're claiming he has ankle problems ?

 

I am having big trouble believing anything that comes out of the AFL clubs,  and their media connections.   They have Zero integrity IMO.

It can always be worse. I doubt we will maje major changes. If only. We had Michael 'Juice' Newton then all would be solved. 

Juice was a better mark than Weid.

Juice was Wayne Carey'esque for 1 half of football v North

 

With the Sydney ground’s surface in a dangerously poor condition, would it be in the club’s interest to demand the game be abandoned and the 4 points shared ?

It's bizarre in that Tom Morris from 3AW specifically stated that the AFL will play the game at the SCG regardless of how dangerous the turf is, as they don't have a contingency plan. Hard to believe it in this day in age of OH&S.

Preuss, Hore, Stretch and Spargo, plus the 22 from last week, should make 26. who didn't get on the plane?

He clearly hurt his left ankle last weekend when it twisted under him. It was caught on camera, so there can be no dispute about it.

In the comments section Guthrie said he couldn’t spot KK, but admits it’s hard to look out for everyone.

Ok.  I didn't see that,  BUT... he's been poor all this season thus far.  Coming off the back of  his toe issues.

 

I say leave him out this week, for the sake of getting has physical issues sorted,  for the next round and the rest of the season. let them settle down.

 

You can tell i'm a cautious type when it comes to real injuries.   I would rather give them the  'extra-week scenario',  than rush them in,  because it seems to me that whenever we rush players back in to play early,  there is ongoing ramifications  to the injury.

 

We don't need to be too tall forward this week and its a monty that Preuss will come in.  Let him and Weide have the front half,  and drop TMc out.

Lets go in small and quick, other than Preuss.    Bring in Stretch, Chandler, and maybe even Spargo   We need to control the ground ball at the SCG.

Sorry Troy but the persistence and team spirit of a peanut.

Glad you don't work for me.

Imagine if the world ran to this schedule and standards.

Team is at lowest ebb much has not gone right but I bet if we have a real chance later in year or do a Tigers and win next much will be made of this period and the reasons and resilience of our group.

its never a straight line upwards and if we have what is a good group and confidence in our system coach and brand then it will overcome our injuries lack of form and things like frustration with umps inconsistencies on Friday night.

We have got to be better than ever from now and all in together players staff and with supporters on board.!

Two wins vs Swans and Saints can kick start our season then it's really in Anzac Eve against the stuttering Tigers.

 

Don't worry about ever being my boss 58er. I would never apply to work in fantasy land.

I do love peanuts though, so thanks.

  • 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.
