Apparently we held two players over for tomorrow -- Stretch and Josh Wagner.  Hope it doesn't mean either Lever or Hore as late outs!

 

Just saw there is a fair chance Oliver wont play tomorrow. Billy Stretch was pulled out of todays game 2 hour prior.

That’s a great swap, like for like ??. 

Another master stroke from the selection committee. 

Is Preuss still playing for us????

    Shows what you know.

    Srsly though, how is a 19 year-old who made his professional debut last year (and has thus far failed to set the game alight in any tangible sense) considered a leader? I’d love to see him grow as a player (at our club) but how does a word like that get bandied about in this instance?

    Of course he is. Goes with the season. We have had a late out the last few games to go with our long list of injuries and always good players.

    Meanwhile other sides we play have close to their best side in and then the week later lose key players. This week Lynch out for the Crows and Hurn and Yeo for the Eagles.

    Oliver will play. If it’s just a tight back, he has the bye next week to recover.

    Would be a different story if we had a 5 day break going into next week.


    OMac didn't play VFL, is he injured or being held over?

    Clayton Oliver leaves track early... ??

    Clarry is a machine I don't think he will miss. However I believe that Lever is the one that might be the out only because of playing a half of football for Casey and doing his ankle missing the week after and then being selected to play Queens Birthday.  Training or no training it doesn't sit well with me.

    Half a game of football in 12 months after a knee reco?  IMO not enough game time No game fitness in a blockbuster a recipe for disaster. I hope not.  Genuinely hope I am wrong.

    Cmon man...it’s called a light touch work session. Every AFL club does it.

    He played 2 vfl games then a week off with the ankle

    Why do some posters call Oliver Clarry Choo Choo? 

    Perhaps there is some clever or witty reasoning behind it?

    Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Don’t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

    PS no snow here so not sure what we’re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?

    I played for the Rye Demons in the seventies

    The. coach then was Danny Jennings son of the President 

    Danny played at Melbourne under Norm Smith

    Only about 7 games but a reserves 

    Best and a Fairest 

    So lots of Melbourne Supporters lived in Rye back then

    The Mornington Peninsula was a key and designated recruitment zone for the Dees, for years. The Healy boys came from that league near the end on that allocation. Footy at Chelsea was hard, skilled and tough - dreaded playing down there across a 2-year period as the 'visitors'.

    Only one poster calls him that and there is zero wit or reasoning  behind it.

    Spargo is fine. Has earned his place, certainly in relation to the other small forwards down there. Not to mention, not sure who he's keeping out ... Bedford?

    Team looks solid, just missing Melksham and Jetta for mine, Vandenberg would be handy as well.

    Spargo needs to get more possessions, but typically uses the ball very well when he gets it. Is probably low on confidence, like a lot of the team this season!

    Team looks a lot better this week, agree adding in Jetta & Melksham would be ideal.

    Should put in a solid effort against the Pies, pity we blew last weeks match.

    • 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.

      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

      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.
