It's probably too early to get this thread going but whatever.

In an ideal world, we'd get back Salem and maybe Hannan too. 

I'd be looking for replacements for Petty, Spargo, C Wagner and T Smith.

So maybe that's Salem, Hannan, Weideman and ANB?

    Was there and stayed till the end. The season is a shambles and is over. I think a couple of high profile players need to be dropped as a statement if nothing else. Gus and TMac come to mind. Work out which of the young ones have the right attitude and stick with them. Thankyou.

    Probably too soon for Hannan, though given what we've currently got on the park ...

    Too soon IMO :

    Lever,

    Hannan

    May

    Kolodjashnij

    Kennedy-Harris

     

    I think these guys need more game time in their bodies,  before selection in our AFL jumper.

    Out - Spargo, C. Wagner, Smith, OMac, J. Wagner

    In - Salem, ANB, Weideman, Lever, Hibberd

    I don’t know if those ins are possible, but that is 5 clear upgrades and makes us at least competitive.

    Ins: Lewis, Salem, Hibberd, JKH, Weids, ANB

    Outs:  J Wagner, C Wagner, Fritsch, Spargo, Stretch, TMac (even if just a rest, he's spent)

    Tim Smith should stay in, only one remotely looking like key forward today

    A few others looked sore... Petty was limping a bit

    For goodness sake anyone but Lewis, the game has passed him by. Ideally he’d retire from AFL now (give us another pick in the mid season draft) and play out the VFL season as an on field coach.

    ... time to re-start this teams evolution.

    Theory is,  not to go in too tall,  up in Darwin.

    For my mind it’s simple now, season is done, so make sure we are best prepared for next year:

    - Don't play anyone unless 100% fit, healthy and with appropriate game time at VFL level under the belt

    - Play everyone who needs to build experience and game time at senior level with a focus on learning and development. Play a really simple game plan that encourages them to use their natural instincts

    - Make sure anyone who will need surgery prior to preseason has it done ASAP so that they can actually do a pre-season

    - Start the search for new line coaches, fitness coach, kicking coach ASAP and get them on board immediately to maximize time to gel with the group prior to next year

    - Cop the AFL fine for not tanking with good grace and move on

    Surely none of Lever (supposedly injured at Casey today), Hibberd or Hannan are ready yet. 

    Fritsch goes as well if we want to play Preuss.

    Weideman was very good at Casey, Lewis was our best... Surely they get picked after the complete Sh!tshow that was presented today

    Smother the balls with vaseline at training all week. This is the humid of the NT games right?

    JKH is a shoe in for next week barring injuries. Thought l would let you know early.

    Oh! the rest of the above look good as well.

    You could make the case for some big changes if the injuries come up:

    Weiderman, Salem, ANB, Lewis, May, Hibbard, Hannan. Goody also mentioned KK and JKH. 

    The only time you make 4+ changes are when you have a heap of players who are best 22 coming back. We could make the case that 7 changes are just getting our healthy bodies back and Wagers, Lockhart, Petty etc are just heading back to the 2s.

    (Jake) Lever, (Mitch) Hannan, (Michael) Hibberd, (Christian) Salem, (Alex) Neal-Bullen, (Steven) May, (Kade) Kolodjashnij, (Sam) Weideman and (Jay) Kennedy Harris 

    All to come back. 

    Hibberd, Salem, ANB, Kade and Weeds were all in the side when we were arguably playing our worst footy for the hear.

    Hannah helps, Lever is obviously a huge inclusion, JKH is okay I guess.

    We have huge depth issues.

    • 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.
