WOW!  We take out 3 players who are over 190cm and bring in two (Spargo, Chandler) who are about 175cm.  Add 2 other sub 178cm players (Viney, JKH).  Other additions: ANB and Stretch aren't exactly all at 180cm.  Then there is Jones who is also 180cm.

We have gone from giants to pigmys!

Expect a big loss - except Sydney is also tanking!

Edit: we are going to be physically monstered.  Sydney has two 'short' players Jack and Papley who are both 178cm but strong.  We will be like lambs to the slaughter.

It's inspirational...The FD are genius

Wonder if there any vacancies at Tawonga ??

Last chance to show we deserve Friday night games and we kiss it goodbye at the selection table.  Brilliant management by the club. 

Pick #2 isn't worth the damage we are doing to ourselves on so many fronts. 

The irony will be the AFL will give it to GCS and the next half dozen picks are relatively even. 

Only Melbourne can shoot themselves in the foot like this.

Even if we win it is because Sydney will try to lose more than we do so it will be a dreadful game to watch. 

Glad I'm out for dinner.

Protect the front and centre of packs and bring the ball to the ground.

Plenty of switching of play and run, run, run! 

you dont REALLY believe any of that do you  ??

That team on paper looks very good until you realise you are not in the Casey thread

Who the heck is going to relieve Max?  An underdone, skinny Lever? Frost? 

Or are we going to run Maxy into the ground as well.

Laughable team composition!!

It's what I interpreted from training this morning, (I added the run part).

Drills of the backline palming low balls down.

Slow simulations (to set up structures) then getting them to transition quickly from one wing to the other.

 


Tanking.

Spargo in at the expense of Hunt is a laugh.

Rookie lister Chandler to debut off average vfl form. Best of luck to him, but he hardly banged the door down.

I have it on good authority that ground staff at the G have been advised not to cut the grass all week. Our gameplan is for the forwards to find space by hiding behind long blades.

The changes look odd on their face but look a bit deeper.

May, OMac and Petty are all forced outs.

Preuss and Keilty have stunk in the seniors this year.

We don't have an obvious second ruck, but Sydney barely have an obvious first ruck (they're playing a rookie, Hayden McLean, who's played four games).

I'm not sure I agree with ANB/Stretch/Spargo over Baker/Hunt, but it's not like Baker or Hunt played well last week. Indeed, both were pretty poor.

Looks to me to be a bit horses for courses when it comes to the talls, and maybe a last chance saloon sort of thing for ANB and Stretch.

You are making too much sense

Hunt omitted! Has he ever been run off a wing for an extended run of games to see what he offers as an outside receiver with pace? Surely Pruess should come in just with instructions to sit up forward and crash packs and bring the ball to ground to help our newly selected fleet of midgets! As it stands we have a small forward line and no doubt our midfield will still bomb it high and long if under pressure. Good luck Dees we will need it! 

Well we're buoyed by the naming of another demon debutant. Congratulations Kade Chandler. He seemed genuinely excited and grateful for the opportunity going by his interview today. Will be tuned in tomorrow evening fingers crossed for an improved team performance and a worthy debut performance from the young man.

Two talls out, Preuss did well at Casey.  Who will relieve Max in the ruck?   Spargo?

Making far too much sense Earl. I too think Hunt could be a winger.

We must be going the Lilliputian gambit up forward. ..inspired.

No amount of luck will help.

We've  already lost this...again...by design.

Fmd we're  clever.

I hope a scout from Syd was there taking notes so as to be sure to let us do ANY of that.

Hey Kev I got to training at 9.30 and it was all but over at 9.47! Do you know what time it started? This is twice I have shown up for the captains run at the advertised time to see them walk off after 15 or 20 minutes! I am not expecting a 2 hour slog for the captains run but 15 or 20 minutes of low intensity drills and some goal kicking seems hardly worth setting up for, let alone advertising to fans!

Sounds like a cunning plan. The Melbourne Reds! Whole new ball game!

I don't subscribe to the idea that these elite sports people are tanking.

They have a mind set of wanting to win otherwise they wouldn't be in the top tiers of AFL.

The club would have plans much more complicated than my interpretations. 

Giving players a go at this time of the year and given our predicament on the ladder, I can see the benefits of the shuffles. Especially on a Friday night. It is good for them and I hope they play well.

They want to feel good with a win and I think they hurt more than us spectators when they lose. (Basic psychology).

 

Ps. I enjoy the humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
