Ultimately there were seven key players who were missing from the side yesterday that, if fit, all need to come on when we play next.

Vanders (grunt and midfield depth), Joel Smith (our third tall defender), Jones (experience and smarts up forward or across midfield), Jackson (pace and height up forward and a decent cutout for Gawny, albeit a green one), Salem (skill and precision from down back), Hannan (a genuine tall small forward who has pace and can mark and can kick long goals) and one of Petty or Weid (the missing third tall marking forward yesterday).  

 

For those who think Weid will be any sort of answer...............Good luck with that.

Thoughts?

Bennell, Vanders and Smith should all be right by then

 

 B- Jetta  May Hore

HB- Hunt Lever Salem

C- Langdon Brayshaw Tomlinson

HF- Petracca TMac Fritta

F- Melksham Weideman Pickett

R- Gawn Oliver Viney

I- Hibberd, Lockhart, Bedford, ANB

E- Sparrow, OMac, Jones, Spargo

Need to inject some pace in the backline......the delisting of Frosty was just stupid.

Jetta left his man too many times to rush up as well, he has to get discipline in to his game because good teams are always going to open you up on big grounds and you have to let things play out as one on one and have the mids cover off.

Jetta is getting out-of-position, as it were, so much and it is because he plays as a team man - providing assistance (as he sees it during a game) to his teammates under pressure. For three years, at least, he has worn his own opponent and then snuck over to assist a struggling OMac - covering his ( OMac's) man too, so frequently, game after game, struggling with high clearance punches at the ball against a KP tall forward as OMac is still bringing up the rear some 15 metres away (ie: OMac cannot keep pace with any opponent). Good onyer, Nev, for trying. You can see the weaknesses, as well as we can. That is perhaps the reason why I have never seen you pass the ball to OMac by foot.

Beg to differ, play out of position in Marsh. Runs hard and prepared to present. (Iron hands but that will come I think). Much better option than Brown. 

 

I certainly hope it comes Robbie, we certainly need it, but I've seen him not prepared to present. It's his fifth season now when is it going to happen?

Also it's impossible to describe how much we needed Jack Martin. And we had the pick. But instead of selling him on our culture we let him go to Carlton. He kicked 4.1 and was creative going into F50 against the premiers. 

Another example of us not being a ruthless club.

We had 4 weeks to convince J Martin to come to the club. And he would've come too if he wanted to continue his career.

I don't buy into the fact that he ONLY wanted to play for Carlton. The year before he ONLY wanted to play for Essendon. I think he wanted out of GC more than wanting to play for Carlton.

He wanted ridiculous money that only Carlton was prepared to pay him

One of the smartest posts on this site for a long time. Another case of just rolling over and accepting mediocrity. 

Hore? Miles off being an AFL player and is unlikely to improve much more. Better to blood Rivers and invest for 2021 and 22.

We missed Jones yesterday.

One of the rare players on this list that can kick a football and make half decent decisions.

 

Agreed .... and runs to space, uses space once found (nearly always within a 5-metre radius of the pack), and runs on in support of an attacking play by the team to receive/offload support in tight, if needed.

Unfortunately i don't believe Round 2 will be till next year, if we are lucky.

Listening to the PM last night, it was inferred that the current restrictions (and worse) will be around for a long long time. 

The Spanish Flu pandemic lasted 2 years from January 1918 to December 1920.

add note

If Spargo plays another game then we really are stuffed..

If we think O MACS one game "Blinder" is promise of things to come?? Think again

If we think Max can ruck all day with a Brown as back up ... Think again

If Hibberd is not finished .. Then Think again

If Nev .. in spite of heroics isn't near the end?? Think again

If selling one of the few with Pace "Sam Frost" was a masterstroke... Think again

If we think Bailey is a Key Forward.. Think again!

If we think Tommy Mac can play..... Think again!

IF IF we think Simon Goodwin is the messiah .. who will lead us out of the Desert???? 

TAKE A TATTSLOTTO TICKET go the bed and wake up to find???

Sheeit I got 20 Cents under my pillow and I never lost any teeth!

YEAH.... SHORT CHANGED YET AGAIN!

  • 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.
