Smith and Keilty may well assist the Weeds game, show him how it is done. Playing all three up fwd may be a bonus for us. 

If they spread, It might help.

Our forwards need also to learn to help one another in packs (1%'s),  using their bodies to shield the marker.

So many little areas,  we have to get more composed and better at.

No idea if hes any good as I try to avoid all things Hawthorn.   Might help even up the Viney loss a little.

He's reasonable, not a star but did allow Shiels and Howe a bit more freedom (they are more natural defensive mids). Means one of them probably tries to go with Oliver a bit more.

We need to play Harmes on O'Meara, rather than get sucked into using Hibberd as a tagger again, O'Meara has more run than Martin and won't try and go forward as often, not having Cousins will hurt them if those other players have to be a bit more accountable.

decent kid.

Brand and Stratton also have injury clouds.  was a tough game yesterday and they have a 6 day break so that might help - god knows we need all the help we can get!

I'm just looking forward to Booing $cully, been a while!

Ir is a balance thing. Leading directs the kick - to space but that kick must also be read accurately to continue the 'connection'. It takes practice; firstly, to be seen by the ball deliverer and secondly, to know more about that feeder's kicking styles, distances of possible kicks to receive and the identification of the spatial requirements to take an effective possession/mark. It is also a perfect training drill involving all forwards and the midfielders - obviously (but not confirmed) - left largely unpractised at MFC training. Knockout feeds produce knockout goals. 

MFC must just practice stoppage work all session, and from what I've seen the forward craft is just marks up at the end of training. I was a fan of this when TMc was clunking them, but it seems he is completely and utterly devoid of confidence.

We said the same thing about St Kilda coming off a brutal game (V Hawks) on a 6 day break compared to our 9 day break and look how well that turned out for us.

Surely running under the ball is the fault of the person kicking to him, isn't it? 

Sometimes, but not when the ball is in the air long enough that you should be in the appropriate position.

 Frost has been our best back so far this season. It is run this team needs more of. 

That’s not saying much. Run is fine but where to? I doubt even he knows most if the time. 

Truth is he’s been very ordinary along with everyone else back there except Salem.

Yes it can be a lottery when Frost has the pill in hand

But …. he has pace, endurance and is prepared to take the game on and back himself. I'll take those qualities at the moment.

Easily said, Matsuo, but not at all accurately said. Take a closer look and analyse it in its current team configuration.

Yep, and he kept Buddy quiet vs Swans.

Frosty is a risk, but on the right match up he's very useful. Confidence is often the key for him

Preuss, with a body well-placed up fwd against Whoreform (and an attitude for careful aggression) may make a difference and certainly, should take one or two defenders to control at each engagement. A good scenario for some speedy smalls at his nearside or feet. Might work with Jeffy's return, and Spargs. I'd also consider both Smith and Keilty up in the vicinity to support the Weed - or the Weed to support them.

Preuss wont play, got it from a pretty good source!

This won't disappoint ;)

Weid should stick it out.... there is really nobody else in s forward structure for the long term, not smith or keilty. Maybe a working through a tough spell will make him a better footballer. Time will tell.

Yes, make him suffer, just like us? LOL. Life wasn't meant to be easy.

Frost has got Omac's job and made a better fist of it. He is not a key position player but has done a good job on Buddy & Hawkins and most of the jobs that Omac could not make contests of. Frost and Salem have been our best backs. Frost has been developed as an intercept halfback and encouraged to use his run at every opportunity. He has got better at choosing when to use his run. Oscar Is too slow to be very useful.

  • 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.
