Well picked. Italian heritage?

Yes? and am finally (trying) to learn the language.

 

Losing our most skilled player who is in ripping form for Spargo makes me want to puke.

i hope the team puts in 100% effort for the full game today. Do that and we’ll always be a chance.


Backs to the wall today. Nothing to lose. i hope we have a red hot go and if we do we will be in good shape going forward as players return.

Clearly Spargo is in to pinch-hit against Mumford.

Or possibly, somewhat more realistically, to hang over the shoulders of Heath Shaw all game to slow him down.

In the end, we all know it isn't going to be team selections that win or lose the game. Not with a dozen players out and everything on the line.

 

Our wins have been against ordinary teams, and have been by small margin coz we can't kick straight. Wet weather (if it happens) today will just make that problem even worse. Yes GWS has a poor record at the G , but ours is no better so we cant take any confidence from the venue.

We might go hard enough to prevent a blowout, but thats the best we can expect imo.

Finals are still possible though....................... *cough cough.

How does Salem go from no concussion symptoms to a late out? Mixed messaging again from the FD. Huge out.

I didn’t think he did?

Thyroid yes but can’t recall him having too many concussions. 

There was that time a brick hit him in the head... not sure of any others

Bizarre. 9 days as well. Surely it wasn't just a "wait and see how you wake up oj game day"? If he was still showing symptoms after 6-7 days it's a given he isn't playing. The FD is a joke. 

Better hurry up and get to the ground folks. Only 20 minutes until the first bounce and there's only 90, 95 thousand seats left.

He had several concussion episodes in the 18 months before the brick incident, which was in 2017 preseason.

 

On a side note, just read that Paddy McCartin has been put on the LTI list and still can't train.  Really sad for him.

So while it is disappointing to lose Salem today I'm glad the club is being cautious, especially with his history.

Concussion symptoms come and go.  He may have been fine a few days ago but not today.

Even if he hadn't fully recovered by selection time, I reckon the club hoped he would be good by game time.

Either way we did the right thing to wait till the last minute and to pull him out when found to not be ok.

Can't go due to junior football today grrr.

 


As the other posters have mentioned - two men and a dog here. It’s actually nice weather for footy. I was getting a bit tired of coming to home games in jeans and a t shirt. It just didn’t feel right.

Go Dees ❤️?

predict we'll start strong but then go goalless for 3 quarters. giants by 42.

Spargo in is mind boggling. His form at afl level this year has been horrible, and his form in the vfl hasn’t been worthy of promotion. Really shows the coaches and selection committee playing favorites to pick someone in such poor form. Either that or we’ve got more injuries than I realized and the fit options are down to Spargo and Preuss?

Spargo in for Salem. Oh boy.

Time to get your praying hats on.


Weakest crowd I can remember since the Neeld days. Great day for footy. Where is everyone?

Just got here. Come on boys same effort as last week and we won't leave disappointed. 

please never play that version of our song again.

 

16k max I'd say.

  • 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.
