and what would you do with Stretch... renewing all three could be a challenge

Stretch is very much at the crossroads and I would not rule out him being elsewhere next year!

I'm a big JKH fan

So dissappointed his injury happened as he would've gotten a good senior stint to prove himself

I know he's depth, probably ahead of Stretch with skills, but behind ANB for size and tank (but better skills)

I hope he gets another year 

I was actually surprised he was dropped a few weeks ago I thought him serviceable.

Keep for another year, possibly at Stretch's expense!

Slim pickings for the AFL team...

On a day which should have suited Spargo 13 possessions is not a great return! I would have thought!

Still think he can make it, but we will make changes at season's end and he could be one of them.

Five seems to be about the minimum number of changes we make and Lewis will be one, so a few boys will need to perform, unless a couple want out, which will free up places.

Out of interest would you put Jay k-H in the seniors ahead of Alex N-B?

I think ANB is a much better pressure fwd than JKH.   JKH is an outside mid and I believe a bit soft and that’s why he doesn’t get a look in. 


The selection criteria (from the outside) appears unfathomable at times. JKH was selected after an extended period of recovery from his knee injury and performed credibly at Marrara v crows. To be omitted after one game in favour of  Mitch Hannan for the big freeze game v  pies. Who appears to have had an extended opportunity to gain match fitness whilst playing at AFL level. His performances thus far have not been particularly overwhelming. Michael Hibberd who has struggled at times to replicate a semblance of his All - Australian form post 2017, when available seems to be an 'automatic' selection. Whereas Josh Wagner (who has a chorus of detractors on this forum) is the first dropped but continues according to pundit(s) yesterday at Casey "to give 100%". Admire his attitude and commitment. Beyond the "gruppe denk", fair and objective observation, whilst noting his on-field performance parameters, suggest his contributions are overdue for some revision and perhaps grudging respect. On team selection the match committee would do well to defer to "reputation never has much to do with reality".

Only 2 of our recently drafted youngsters are not injured, Jordon and Bedford.

This story seems to be a bit hard to swallow, but  being a sparrow, Hope he hasn"t bitten of more than he can chew?

This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century "spearwa", Middle English "sparewe", a sparrow. The surname was originally given to a homely or chirpy person,

Wonder if he lives up to his name

Maynard has no chance of making it at AFL level but I'd love him to get another go before he's inevitably delisted just for the tackles.

Does anyone have a take on Dunkley's game?  Looking like he might get an AFL game on merit this season or perhaps not?

Wasn’t a standout at all. Couple of average games in a row. Not banging on any door atm.

Did Bedford play an average game this week Chell?  I think he wants to debut next week!  ?

Dunno, wasn’t out there, but I do know tht Dunkley has had ok form only at Casey. Was surprised to see him picked ahead of JKH. I am no JKH fan, but he had been in better form. I guess we are just rolling the dice now that the season is cooked.

It was cooked a month ago L36.

  • 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.
