Bombers’ speed advantage would be blunted in the wet. Bring on the rain!

I’ve fallen for the wet conditions so many times.

Trust me we’re even worse in the wet weather and I can’t recall us winning a game in recent years on a genuine wet day.

At this stage they’re only predicting a shower or 2 on Sunday so it might not even rain during the game.

    You look forward to Thursday nights for selections then suddenly realise you play Sunday and have to wait another 24 hrs for the final team. 

    Predicting they will include Weid, Kossie, Hibbo and Lockhart to the squad. If Hibbo does get selected for the final 22 I’m also fearing it will be at the expense of Jetta.

    One thing to look forward to is seeing Langdon and Tomlinson on the MCG wings for the first time.

    I think what a lot of us are missing is the first quarter and a half of last Saturday’s game. We were well and truly back to 2018 form. If we can do it then, we can do it again, and we did it with the players playing last Saturday. 
     

    I think it would be more constructive to consider how we can consistently recapture that form for four quarters, rather than considering wholesale changes for this week. 
     

    Having said that though, there are players waiting in the wings who missed that game for a variety of reasons who would make our side even stronger and deliver a better result. For mine l would go with:

    IN: Weid, Kosie, Hannan 

    OUT: TMAC, Melksham, Neil - Bullen

    must say I am tired of this practice. May as well announce the Sunday teams on Friday.The Thursday announcements are a hangover from the old days and are really irrelevant except that the AFL is so reluctant to release any of its media space.

    It's strange that the teams are announced with such fanfare on Thursday and then the final teams are a deeply hidden postscript.

    Mind you it could also be that we seem to perennially play on a Sunday.

    It's part of the TV right deal with Channel 7. They get to unveil the teams on Thursday night on the 5pm news and make a spectacle of it. Noone is allowed to release them or discuss them officially in the media before then.

    I agree though, it is backwards. We're stuck with it for however long the current TV rights deal is.

    Have to disagree Jim. I still use and need both

    Each season I do a sheet on the computer and update it for each game I attend. After they increased the price of the record from a shilling I stopped buying it.

    Oh come on.  I guess you want to move to 16 players a side as well?

    Did anyone hear Jennings on SEN today about Goodwins strategy in how the premiership quarters are now played in the first quarter now rather than the third?

    Was super interesting stuff and made me think that maybe Goodwin knows how to win but the 2nd and 3rd quarter we just stunk. Clean that up and if we continue to start well out of the blocks we should be ok. Still a lot of work to do but it was interesting to hear Jennings talk on how he thought Goodwin coached well

    Fountain Pen or Crayons,  'Bbo'.?

    A dog ran onto the field at Casey and bit Petracca on the hand subsequently broke it?

    • 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.
