Will see how he goes in the intra club, which by the way I hope we don't lose.

    We can give Lever, Smith and OMac all the week off and let Ratagolouou do all the spoiling.

    Are you talking about the ball he tapped back into play from the goal line JD? Picture this forum if that was one of ours and we’d lost by under a kick.

    Lol, we would totally neglect the fact that we played like poo for 3 quarters, we would definitely single out that single brain fade as the cause of the loss.

    I think the scratch game today plus matchups will be important at selection.  I suspect the crash plus speed philosophy will hold, and not too many changes from the non-team from r3 will be made.

    This week’s team made sense because it was forecast to be quite wet. We were lucky the match wasn’t played!

    i think we do need a key forward and on the basis of the Practice match perhaps it has to be Brown

    One for the trivia buffs. In the history of the game, has there ever been a team selected, not played and then had changes made to it before the next game?

    On a serious note, if that happens, it will need a bit of careful ego management for any player who might be omitted this week. I know clubs have to trim their off-field costs, but under the current circumstances I hope our club, and all clubs, are still investing appropriately in player welfare.

    Totally agree. That was my concern also. But I am sure players realise they are picked with things like 1. Weather 2. The opposition etc is concerned.

    Brown is the 2020 version of the 2019 Preuss

    No thanks

    Does any one have the current injury list? Its been nagging me as to who we might be missing most up forward - Harrison Petty came to mind. I also think Smith has a bit to offer there too to charge things up a bit mark and goal kicker wise. With Bennell, Lochhart and  Pickett at their feet and Hunt too.

    What is Petty's actual injury at the moment?

    No change for me. The inclusion of VDB and Hannan makes a better team balance. The Pies structure does not rely key forwards. Mihochek s CHF and a ruckman Cox/Cameron with a swarm of Elliott, deGoey who are good overhead. Phillips, Brown and Caicos at ground level. Then there is their elite midfield lead by Pendlebury & Sidebottom complemented by Adams and Treloar and so lesser lights who play their role in Hoskin-Elliot, Thomas, Brown and Mayne. 

    The point is we have the elite ruckman, a gun midfield 4, the addition of 2 wingmen we need the flanker and other mids to play a role and kick more goals. I look to milk, Fritta, Ghanan and AVB to give us the grunt and lift we need.

    We're playing Geelong though, OD.

    Is he,  really.    He is elite on Statistics.   But  we've played better footy when his been inured. 

     

    What I am getting at is...  he would be so much more effective,  if he takes more marks around the ground,  without going to ground.  And also he has to,  IMV,   get forward and mark more often.

    We need him to add goals,  and also to Split packs,  forward/midfield.. 

    I'd prefer another tall to take marks positioned kick behind play.   and I'd like to see Tomlinson, Brown & Gawn taking midfield marks and from kick-outs.

    Then Gary misses from 15 out directly in front.

    I like Hannan a lot but I agree, two weeks in a row Brown pulls out some goals, it shouldn’t be ignored. Our forward line looks short without one of Weids or Brown in there as well. I really wanted to see Sam do well in the intra-club but it looks like Brown has the form.

    • 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.
