Welcome to Sunday morning boys!

 

Nobody reads your posts :)

    Reading between the lines I reckon we will definitely bring in another key forward to replace TMac.

    My gut feel is that they will bring in Brown.  I suspect they won't want two young / inexperienced key forwards taking on hawthorn's experienced defence with Frawley, Sicily and dare I say it Frost.

    Mcevoy has been playing CHB/FB most of the year. They shifted him down there and use Ceglar as ruck. McEvoy has been good down back, but they swung him forward the past fortnight with success also. He's a solid utility.

    Ceglar out robs them of that tall option both back and forward. I think McEvoy is a better ruckman than Ceglar, and he's nullified Max in the past so our ruck advantage has just been reduced IMO. Does help us structurally though with Tmac out, giving them one less marking and intercepting option down back.

    My thoughts are McEvoy won't have the tank to run with Maxy this week. Can't imagine he's done similar kms. Big positive in my eyes.

    I agree - Brown should come in as the more experienced guy. Plus, he is a good lead, so will help to drag the big Hawks defence around.

    Agree 100%. Mitch Brown must come in this week. Play as mobile CHF. Actually be handy given Hawks use Sicily as CHB and rebound defender. Need to make him accountable. 

    tmac replacement from brown, tomlinson, smith or jackson

    will probably be brown but not convinced he is best choice.....difficult decision

    Ross Lyon pointed this out on Footy classified last night. Haw have had bad looses to Geelong and Collingwood this year on the two skinny AFL grounds.

    I agree the sardine can grounds really suit our crash and bash style, it's at the MCG where we have struggled with teams playing keepings off. You'd think we'd have the edge in contested ball over Hawthorn, even though every time I think that our midfield fails to turn up...

    I wonder if they might consider Adam Tomlinson at CHF to replace Tom, despite not being considered for a place on the wing last week. 


    I see the Weid is doing rucking practice in the other thread. If Max is up against McEvoy maybe he will spend time helping out down back and sharing front half ruckwork with Weiderman. If we will be squeezing into 5 and 6 day layoffs between games, this may be a relief for Max.

    Has to be. I means why get him otherwise

    Jackson might be in the frame i guess as he has pace and might be a hard match up but he looked too raw round one and the Hawks will work him over.

    And in some way i don't think we will lose too much if brown comes in for Tmac, who has not been in great form anyway. Brown would have to play the same role - get p the ground and compete.

    Weed to play out of the square (i had suggested to opposite ie Tmac out of the square - but having seen him last week i'm not sure he is strong enough).

    agreed. I think if Brown can can take a few marks and kick a goal or two he will have fulfilled TMac's role. then both he and Weid will be on show to get the one spot when TMac comes back in.

     

    against the Weagles he read the ball well and got to good spots but was butter fingers dropping marks.

     

    funnily enough if Brown plays we'd have two of the best talls kicks going around up forward. getting it to them is the hard part.

    Brown of course the safer option

    Wouldn't be too bad to see Jacko in, but if Sicily is on him he could be beaten easily 

    Sicily won't play on Brown or Jackson.

    He's only 186cm  so would get monstered. 

    He typically plays on the 3rd or 4th tall and they use him as a distributor. I'd like to see Melksham go to him in a negating role.

    I'd say Frawley will get Weideman and Frost will get Brown/Jackson for the majority of the game.

    The last thing we need is Smith in the forward line spoiling our other forwards. Please let the experiment end.

    • 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.
