If Lever is out then Petty comes in for me. Time to start getting some games and development into him.

Watched him play against Collingwood VFL game and his intercept marking and ability to provide drive from defensive 50 was fantastic.

    Frequently dropping it too. Has Bull ever worn a glove? Might seem like an obvious and dumb idea, but.. just maybe it could give him a little edge in "catching" them like McGovern does with his sticky hands. Borrow Jayden's, he surely doesn't need em!

    Simple solution, used by Sean Wight, Yze, et al; could make a big difference to him at the instance of the big grab.

    I'd like to see tsmith play on Ryan, while still going for the ball. He's been there best intercept player so stopping him is a must

    I'd like to see both TSmith and JSmith in the same team on game day, for that matter. It would have strengthened our Team, all year. Shame about the reality of circumstances....

    That's what I'd do. Freo spread like crazy. Getting as many runners through the midfield and wings will be vital to stop their run. So even though he's a limited player Stretch comes back in to run with Langdon or Hill. 

    Time to give Jones a good run at half back to see if he can reinvent himself. Time to give Smith a fair go at it as the 3rd tall forward to see if that frees up Tom and Sam as it did for parts of the game against the Crows in Darwin. Petracca should get some midfield time as well.

    I'm not sure whether I agree or disagree, but I do like the way you've explained your changes.

    Why the [censored] did they rush him? I just can’t with this club’s injury management. 

    I commented on this 3 weeks ago Jaded about the Lever & May inclusions, especially with limited game time at Casey (Lever 2 quarters & May 4 quarters for Casey). Makes no sense whatsoever & shows total disregard for player welfare & care . I know the players just want to play, but really, we are no chance to play finals & achieves nothing! I would have thought that the coaching & medical staff would have learnt from the Viney experience ......

    Dumb....

    I keep saying it and i hark back to a thread i started "Professionals" - this club is so far off the pace when it comes to these sorts of things. It really does my head in. 

    Changes should be:

    IN: Smith / Lockhart / Lewis

    Out: Wagner, Spargo, Lever (inj.)

      In Lewis.....Out J Wagner.......I hope Lever is right to play........  If not bring in Pruess and send TMac to the back          line..............In ANB........Forward pressure.....Out.....Spargo  for reservicing.

     

    Tim Smith a chance........ Sorry to say that Garlett is on his last legs.

    Lewis in? Are you serious?

    Brad Hill, Stephen Hill,  Fyfe, Walters,  A Brayshaw, B Matera, Wilson.......good luck keeping up with these blokes!

    Will be up to 4 changes for this weekend. lets just say the injury curse has not left the building.

    ANB in and tell him to stick on Wilson all day. Pressure him so those Rebound 50s are uncomfortable all day. Can’t afford their gun players to create havoc once the ball is cleared from our forays forward.

    May on Hogan would be a disaster, Jesse is an aerobic animal (despite also being  a party animal), he will take May up and down the field constantly and soon blow him up. Freo have far too much run, pace and are frankly a far better team than us this season can't see how we wont get hammered....

    You might not like the pick and is a fringe now and certainly in his last season and he knows that. HOWEVER! IMO he still offers experience ,is injury free ,had his Casey games and his last game there was clean and direct with hand and foot. If he is picked then he has earned it not given.  LG we can still make the 8 so why not keep pursuing until mathematically we cannot. You have to keep the faith and l am sure others agree.

    Your right, we are all trying to stay positive N but we have been poorly coached IMO, with a total lack of team balance whilst also playing unfit, out of form & injured players all year.

    I don't like the pick & it stinks.....Earned his spot? One good game in the 2's? Getting suspended again & showing a total lack of discipline & team first habits.......

    I do respect your thoughts, however, If you think he is the answer, then we are in more [censored] than we think.

    Lever is knee soreness rather than the reported foot soreness. Hopefully not more than a week or 2 to settle down.

    The loss of Lever is a serious setback, but his absence does not mean we have to pick a third tall, although Petty will be considered.

    Lockhart will be a definite in and I'd hope ANB and JKH are brought back in to try and counter Freo's run a pace.

    And as stated in my mid-year rankings, I'd be punishing Olly for playing safe and playing him at full-forward.

    As with others, Wags, Jeffy and Spargo are first out . I'd have Salem on Walters, Hibberd on Fyfe to free up Harmes and Jones on Matera.

    T.Mac should be rested until he is back to full speed fitness level and his omission leaves room for T.Smith and Preuss.

    B: Salem  May Hore

    Int: Harmes, ANB, Preuss, Hunt

    Someone said Hibberd missed training so I'm guessing he's back on the list?

    Reckon you're on the money here DD36.

    Petty for Lever (inj) and Lewis for Hibberd (inj) seem likely changes pending accuracy of rumours going around.

    • 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.
