We wont win, I'm still deluded enough to go every week and convince myself by the opening bounce we will though.

 

"Play the kids" like we've had 3 first rounds the past 3 years too pluck from the list ?

I also have FOMO - fear of missing out when we do decide to play properly and get a win....guarantee the one game I decide to skip the boys will have a glorious victory

That probably fits nicely with our Hail Mary forward game plan binman.

This game last year was a Masterclass by Clarkson. 

Our coaching panel experimented with lots of new ideas (no wingmen, high zone press, Jones as tagger, roaming forwards/mids etc) and we were taken to the cleaners.

We need coaches to be switched on like they were in the 2nd semi last year!

Same

Still kicking myself for staying at home for the 2008 game vs Fremantle. Haven't missed a match since.

 

 

Edit...  OMac & JWag in for Viney & Weid

Terrible selections!

Keilty still just an emergency ?

O mac and Wagner..  exciting stuff.

Should have bought in Keilty and Sparrow,  who are both emergencies.

I was about to post exactly the same thing.


Don’t care that Omac was written up as one of the best at Casey last week

I watched most of the game and thought he was very ordinary,they must have counted his kick outs in the stats 

If I was Kielty I would be spewing, he has twice the talent of Omac

Can understand maybe needing one defender, but two? Oh well, maybe they want Mcdonald and Jetta's replacement (was it lockhart last week) in the forward line instead. My wife has tipped us (Richmond supporter). Good luck team.

That's right, because an untested player who's never played a single game at AFL level and is playing OK/consistent footy at VFL level is our saviour.

And because we have inside mids and KPF's just queuing up to get a game.


I can only hope that such strange selections are a precursor to an amended gameplan.

Perhaps we can play nearest the pin with the losing margin.

Gunston to reprise his 2:8 of the finals or 8:2?

Hawthorn is going to kill us. They don't have anybody in their forward line slow enough for Oscar to play on. Sparrow should have been brought in to replace Viney. It will be like playing two men down.

 

Smart selections: O Mac allows Tom (our best KPF) to go forward, as does J Wagner for Fritsch.

 

I stand corrected, @Nasher. I just don't understand Goodwin's selections anymore.

Why bring in Oscar? So he's going to play on Roughead then and Frost is going to play on a small?

Surely, O'Brien is playing back? But maybe not, given the omission of Weideman?

  • 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.
