They probably would @Lord Nev - they know that Goodwin has favourites, what would I know? ?

Anyway, context matters.

    Just wait until he gets 2.3 more spoils/intercepts a match, channel 7 will FAAAAWN over him like Rance.

    AVB keeps his spot. But Bennell gets dropped after one game. And then doesn't get a recall after a 4 goal reserves hitout. fmd.

    No second tall forward again.

    I'm not convinced that's the right call. I seriously hope Sunday shows me that this can work.

    Its my only minor problem with selection. I do think we need that extra tall in the side to complement T Mac. 

    Otherwise the side is fine. We can moan about no Bennell all we like, but it ain't changing much.

    It’s gonna be wet so perhaps that’s why?

    Ahh, well, we've all lived it for 40 years (give or take 20, depending on where you are at). I love the tease this team gives. Just the pure [censored] tease of it all.

    Nothing more nihilistic than being a Melbourne supporter.

    As Badly Drawn Boy once sang. "The joy is not the same without the pain".

    Wow... but that doesn't support the theories that we paid overs for Lever and he sucks....

    When I saw who they brought into the squad I had a feeling no change was possible. I think they’re trying to settle on a team to give them confidence.

    But I still am really unconvinced about our structure going forward, especially the way that we play. Are we now playing Petracca forward? Wasn’t a big thing about this year going to be seeing Petracca given more time in the middle?

    I think our forward line is too small/medium, maybe it needs time to click, but I’m running out of patience.

    Melksham is very lucky. I am a fan but his half efforts this year have been disgusting

    I think the wet might suit us now more than in the past for Petracca, Viney and a smaller forward line or Kozi. As long as we exhibit 'learnings' and tap it on. I'm more afraid of a dry WA like deck and letting the opposition showcase their rebounding keepings off skill

    How long has it been since we have gone unchanged?  I’m not sure I can remember when we last did.

    No goals coming up again. We don’t have mids to kick goals. A midget forward line all out of from and a key forward who hasn’t fired a shot since the Carlton match last year

    100% with you. My personal choice would have been to drop Melks, put Fritta/Hannan is his role and have Brown at FF.

    These unchanged selections give me a bit more confidence of a win plus the Tigers outs are a help. More so if it is going to be wet. AVB and Bennell bring very different skill sets to the team. AVB 's aggression and bash and crash at the contest will be more help against the Tigers than a delicate outside runner that can only play half a game. Both are good enough and against other teams this selection may go the other way. It took AVB a couple of games after a long injury break to hit his straps but he was soon amongst our best.

    I think we're all just weary of Bennell getting the Garlett treatment. In and out all year because of fitness or defensive issues, but still kicking 1-2 goals a game and setting up a few others. If the season starts slipping away, then we might look back on r5-7 as a block of games we needed someone like him in. If he comes in later in round 8 or so, has a big impact but we're so far back that it's just an exercise in preparing for 2021, well what a waste.

    Hoping it's only weather related and he's in next week.

    LOL. I see what you did there but I'm not taking the bait JD.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
