No nerves today cos I have zero expectations; they are the second best side in the competition and we are the third worst 

Just hoping we look better and play to 2018 level...

...just can’t see it happening for us today

Bring on a few draught beers, a look at Lever 'n May, maybe a donut or two - life's good.

Look on the bright side guys, if we lose and blues win again next week we’ll be a Good chance to be last! ?

Petracca’s statistically had his worst six weeks since his first six games for the club four years ago. He’s averaging just 70 SuperCoach points and has kicked a paltry 10 goals from 11 games as a permanent forward line player. Those are horrible returns. 

It’s amazing how divorced from reality our supporters (and the media) can be when it comes to this player. He’s either a chronic underperformer or simply not that good. I think it’s probably somewhere in between. 

The similarities with Colin Sylvia’s career path are eerily similar.

No matter what the stats say, I believe that his inside bullocking that creates opportunities for others goes largely unnoticed on this site.

Any one know if final sides have been announced?

 


I like Smith. Wonder what mystery injury he has. Not sure we need Wagner as for once we have a decent backline! Perhaps Hibbo and/or Salem play midfield which I don’t mind at all. 

 

With Wagner coming in surely that means Bayley Fritsch plays forward.

Tim out for Josh. 

So just the 5 defenders coming in then???

I reckon a massive game looms for Petracca. Has been good for the last 6 weeks and if it were not for some poor finishing would have some big hauls. I can see him kicking 4-5 goals with some dominant stints on ball. He will relish the big crowd at the G. 

Dodgy in front of goals.  Goody could insert into a semi permanent almost full time role in the mid field but chooses not to.

I cant believe how many people forgive and accept Petracca's faults. He is uncoachable. He cannot concentrate. He NEVER comes through when the going is tough,although trying hard, he is stupid and trying to do too much. He falls immediately to old bad habits.

He isn't as bad as that sorry.  Not having a great year but has a fair amount of company.  See T-mac, Viney and Spargo just to name a few.

I actually feel like Demonland, and the supporters, go pretty hard on him. I also think you’re going too hard on him...

A little but he has regressed this season  WISE.  Some scrutiny is bound to follow.

Our entire forward line has barely fired a shot all year, what are you going to do drop everyone?

That is a very good question Sisso.

There are a few options available but goody has chosen to ignore them so far.

Problem with that is that no one that we could choose from would be a better option for his role. I’ve been ok with Tracs year so far in a forgettable season for all except Maxy Gawn. 

I agree to a point at least from a Casey perspective.  However, if Goody was / is being realistic now that the season is over, it is now time to trial Tracc in a role which leans more towards full time through the mid field IMO.  Takes pressure off his kicking inside 50 but allows him to swing away at the big stuff around the arc where he has nothing to lose and just let's it rip without over thinking things.

Time for chunk to replace Tracc at HF in an Ablett type role (with some minor time through mid field when Tracc is taking a breather on the bench or when resting forward).

Break out game for Trac is here. Get ready.

30 touches, 2goals 5 behinds

we lose by 3 points.

Smith has to be the unluckiest/most injury prone footballer that has ever lived. 

You can say that again which is another good reason why Pruess should be getting more game time.  At least he might string a series of games together and start gelling with the other forwards.

Smith confirmed out with a flu. Wonder if the club knew yesterday they would have been better off pulling Pruess out of the VFL game.

Thanks @dazzledavey36. Can Wagner play forward? Or is it going to be a re-shuffle that puts Salem / Fritch forward?

What's the fascination with Preuss @dazzledavey36?  Surely he would be selected if they felt he could contribute for the entire game, so if they're not selecting him, I would assume they know that he can't?

  • 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

    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.
