Lot to like about today... Several picking themselves for round 1.

Kozzie a certainty

Brown a certainty

Lockhard very close to certainty

Bedford could play early

Rivers looks very good

Brayshaw.. no concerns, rust is quickly disappearing

Bradke gone up another gear

We showed our depth and it looks as if there will be some hard choices picking a 1st 22 come the Eagles game.

 

Gus is back!

Good preseason hit outs for us. 2 wins from 2 matches while getting game time into some kids and easing some returning players like Brayshaw, Tomlinson, Melksham back in.

Get Gawn and May up and firing and we've got a good team with some depth ready to go. 


I think Bedford might be the one Kossie has to win his spot from.

 

Gee Lockhart looks composed with the ball down back. 


Im very impressed with Browns mobility. Almost beating Tomlinson at his own game, plus being able to take marks in front of goal. Many times he worked up on the wing for possesions.

Melksham great first half, Brayshaw great second half. Fritsch, Brown and Spargo played well. Great chase down tackle by Bedford and then that great running goal, superb. Rivers, Sparrow and Jordon show great signs and Bradtke battled manfully in the ruck.

 

ROLLING BEST 22

B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER

HB: SALEM, O.MCDONALD, HIBBERD

C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON

HF: FRITSCH, T.MCDONALD, VANDENBERG

F: PICKETT, BROWN, MELKSHAM

FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY

IC: BRAYSHAW, JONES, HARMES, WEIDEMAN

EMERG: LOCKHART, SPARROW, SPARGO, BEDFORD

Any chance we can get our R23 clash against this mob moved to Arden St?

An enjoyable match, looks like competition for spots is fierce. Much to like, J Wagner didn’t get a lot of mentions in the Game day thread, thought he was quite good and steady.

One of the aspects of his game that he does really well is roving the ruck hitouts.  Will be very pleased to see that back in action with Gawn.  Would have added another 4 or so goal to our win over the Crows the other week I recon.

I think our smalls will be the difference at times this year. All showed something today and will be fierce competition for spots. 
Brayshaw got better as the game wore on. 
kept an eye on Jordan and Sparrow for much of the game. Both seemed to be out of position and chasing more than winning the ball and being creative.

Tomlinson presented well before he was rested and Melksham was at the coal face early on and creating. 
Bradtke just gets thrown around but his ruck craft is improving. Needs kilos. 
 

7:13 is hardly a great result but 20 scoring shots is nothing to scoff at.

Our pressure dealing with North’s chipping around game early on was also good to see. 
 

Beer time now. 


i put the moz on brayshaw effectively - roasted him (comparisons with tyson!) and then his second half was very good

of those that played, you'd think he, melksham, tomlinson, pickett, and brown are likely round 1 starters

rivers looked very good coming off half back however - lovely kick of the footy - and sparrow looks like nathan jones 2.0

Oscar is a worry dropping chest marks

Confidence still isn't really there at the moment.  He dropped a bit of a sitter last week as well.  Hopefully he can find some confidence again, because when he's on, I think he can make a useful contribution.

I just like winning, any game where we win is great, Last pre season i think we lost nearly everything. We look like a club that has had a plan all pre season, players fir, depth showing.

Im so excited about what we can do this year, we look like a team that enjoyable to watch again. I know its a practice match, and people tend to tell us to relax, but id mych rather be excited about winning a praccy match that a bit worried because we have list games in the pre season.

Club feels good at the moment.


I get that Brown is doing well in the practice matches (but kicking not great) but I don't think he gets a look in when Gawn is back.

2 of T Mac, Weed, LJ and Brown will be up fwd I would think.  We have Trac, Fristch, Melk, up there too

Brown would be last in line for me.  good to have the back up though!

Some great tackling today by Gus, Wagner (I dunno which one) and Lockhart. Good to see them stick.

Brown lacks the ability to ruck. But without wanting a philosophical debate about rucking and roving to the other ruckman, I think his ability to provide a target inside 50 moves him into 2nd place for me with TomMac in 1st.

 

 

Saw Harley Bennell at the ground. Biggest takeaway, he looks happy.

massive smile on his face

Corey. I noticed the same thing. He tackled really well today.

  • 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.
