He didn't.  He's guessing.

Yeah sorry I did realise this. Just getting a bit tired of the guessing. Within minutes of hearing injury news its been either 'well thats his career done' or 'well thats him out for a month'. I guess its the MFC way to go straight to doom scenario.

I suspect only one of Bedford and Picket will play as will one of Weid and Brown.

Both Bedford and picket have already been announced as debutants

I feel you mate.  Plenty of amateur doctors post here.

From what I can gather Jones was going to train today to see if he was fit enough, but obviously they've given him another week to get over it.

 

Just to clarify for people who are just looking at the team sheet and aren't up to date.

- Bedford and Kozzy are in as announced

- Jackson was not announced to debut so will be an emergency

- Two bench players will be picked from Weid, Brown, Hore, Lockhart and Sparrow. 

So it will be one of the two tall forwards and one of those backs I would imagine. Sparrow being emergency mid.

I'd say Lockhart and Weid will round out the team. Weid being the backup ruck.

Where did you read he was out for month?

As of yesterday he was listed as 'test' so I'd imagine he will be in line for next week.

Jones took aN accidental drive by kick to his calf in the last 10 minutes of the last Marsh game. He limped off and unfortunately it is still an issue. Odd it seems that match was played months ago but it was just 2 weeks?

Has an Achilles injury according to the MFC website.

Well that’s him out for a moth or more. That hurts us. More than people realise. Probably not so much against West Coast. In the next few games though

Achilles soreness rather than injury. Was listed as 'test' so don't reckon he'll be out a month.

 

On paper and over there, the Eagles will kill us. 
 

Lucky we don’t play on paper.

Did you miss the big article where it said he's out for three months?

Yup, I did.

The MFC have been so poor on sharing this kind of info and there hasn't been much news asides from COVID 19 stuff that I've given up on checking the MFC website and even Demonland for actual player/footy news for the last week or so.

Actual footy will be a great break from the real world for a while, while it lasts.

No crowd buys us at least 2-3 goals

Big show of faith in the club for both to debut in the same game.

Good outcome and well deserved as both apear to have shown great application and have been quite impressive.  I'm just surprised we have gone with so many smalls.

It would be pretty hard to leave Lockhart out based on the form he has shown over the preseason I recon.

I remember the first night game we had against WC last year over there. From memory we were really undermanned and went over with a smaller side. I remember thinking we looked unrecognizable for three quarters, we took the game on literally every time running the ball through the corridor with link handball (also forward handball from contests) and we really had them for three quarters. But we tired and their experience wore us down late.

Will be interesting to see if we take some things from that game into this one with the small lineup. Fitter and quicker then last year.

My tip for the final 4

weid, Lockhart, kozie and Bedford. 

?Gawn hinted on RSN that Weid would be playing

I’m not with the shortened game speed will be king, plus they should provide us with plenty of forward pressure 

Why are people saying we are too small?   Have they not watched footy the last 4 years and missed seeing Richmond dominate with their fleet of small forwards?

Just look at tonights game and you will see nothings changed -

Halftime

Castagna 2 goals
SHai Bolton 2 goals
Lambert 1
Rioli 1

 

Team selection was spot on.

What a pathetic answer, the club has hit all media channels to provide info, did you not watch Max on Facebook, the Inside Melbourne with the 3 Amigis etc etc  a cheap pot shot again

I wasn't necessarily taking a pot shot at the club, it was more just a matter of fact statement.  That's kind of the way it is at the moment.  By the same token, I'm also assuming why when he probably broke it a fortnight ago it's taken the club a whole fortnight to get this info out there.  But you know sheesh whatever, I'm over it, there is a lot going on and I'm sure the club has had other priorities and so long as we win on Sunday, that's the only news from the club I really care about, so GO DEMONS!

Are you for real? Was a completely reasonable comment from RBG.

Not for the first time you are well out of order.

 

I know I wouldnt say anything about a certain player so I won't

But HTF a slow,no skilled player,that plods gets a game and others with REAL TALENT miss out is perplexing! To say the least.

We will go nowhere whilst he is in the team IMV

I reckon we can win this one with all the factors in our favour No Crowd, Fitter than last year by a country mile, full compliment of player except Salem, Strong back 6, Mobile Fwd line, Experienced strong running Wingmen.

Carn the Dees.

  • 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.
