    How is saying he will be our second-best key forward a buzzkill?

    I'm happy we signed him, it would be a buzzkill if I said he was our worst.

    I dislike this. 

    We have T Mc, Petty, Melksham and Fritsch who can provide lead up options better than Brown. 

    We have Weid, Preuss and Jackson who can sit under a high ball.

    Brown offers nothing for forward pressure or genuine contested tall work and can he really still play key back?

    We need genuine key defensive depth to push Oscar and cover May. 

    And we need the scope to add skilled midfield runners because we haven’t done it during the draft or trade. 

    The only skilled runner we’ve added is Bennell and he might never play again.

    I'm probably the odd one out on Demonland currently, but I'm not as enthusiastic as most about Petty forward. Hope he goes well though.

     

    Personally, I think they've got it wrong. Petty should play back and Smith should play forward, but what would I know?

    I’m assuming this selection is based purely on the infamous Sydney round 22 game when we literally ran out of key forwards (apart from Keilty who wasn’t AFL standard) and the list management department were made to look like fools in that game.

    We can’t have a repeat of this fwd line again:

    HF - Petracca  Melksham ANB

    F.     C Wagner  Fritsch Chandler

    You’ve rightly pointed out his flaws, but for someone that kicked a bag of 4 in a prime time Friday night win this year (and two 3 goal games), I think he’s a pretty good depth pick up.

    I think we traded into 8 to get him and then realised it wasn't early enough.

    If that's the case, I wonder who we were after at 3. I'd hazard a guess that it was Young, but we cooled on him for whatever reason. Probably because Young could be seen as a bigger risk than Jackson.

    He's a rookie. He's depth. If we are injury ravaged, he can inconsistently play a role. You can't smash it with every rookie pick.

    I wasn't a fan initially, but it makes enough sense for 2020.

    It's a rookie pick up.  

    He will ensure our young kpfs earn games.. That's a good thing.

    So Langdon, Tomlinson and Rivers don't count?

    JJ, Nietschke and Baker continue to develop.

    Far too good a quality. I prefer Bonar norf style for the lols

    I don't mind it for a rookie spot. Can play forward or back. Had a decent year last year. Will plug a hole for us if needed. Solid list management.

    Yeah........... and what if we have a run of bad injuries like a few years ago when we lost Gawn against Geelong at Marvel Stadium.. I reckon it is good insurance. We could have used him last year as well.

    absolutely correct.

    I would have rather Josh Walker to be honest. Only 26 years old and was playing some really impressive footy for Brissy at the start or this year then fell out.

    He is a Melbourne player now so I will support him. 

    Welcome Mitch.

    Well then we play Pruess......

     

    Did anyone else throw up in their mouth when they saw the headline:

    I'm sure he is a nice guy but hopefully he doesn't play a game for the seniors.  will mean we dont have too many injuries and/or our key fwds are playing okay

    Oh and forward entries weren't the problem, the dysfunctional and decimated forward line was

    Langdon - nice winger, not skilled.

    Tomlinson - depth type, not a long term fix, neither quick nor skilled.

    Rivers - good half back until he builds his tank

    Baker - currently walking laps

    JJ - slow, an ok inside midfield option

     Nietschke - slow with the ball in hand and I kick better than he does. Half back depth. 

    Langdon’s the only genuine linebreaker and there’s not a player you really want kicking the ball inside 50 from any of our mids.

    Key forward depth would be nice but we already have a stack of options. We used pick 3 on a guy who can do something forward if needed. We didn’t use a single pick or trade for immediate midfield skill.

    Don't worry CB, there are group who see every move by the club as just to left of JC. If you should have a varying opinion that instantly makes you negative.

    • 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.
