No brown. Must be annoyed.

He might be annoyed, but he was a very late call up to our list.  He's probably just stoked to be given a third crack at it.

It will be one of Smith, Tomlinson or Jackson in for Tom Mac.  Maybe Jones can also sneak in somewhere, but not sure who for or where they would decide to play him.


It will be interesting to see how they structure the bench out of the 8 named.

For me, Fritsch would be the only certainty to be there. Toss up on all the others.

 

jetta and McDonald out for Jackson and Jones.


Was Brown by chance one of the ones who didn't go up immediately? Might be a reason why (if not somewhat surprised, but as long as we win i'll be happy).

Not a huge fan of brown but with Tmac out I think he has to play otherwise Weid will cop too much heat.  

Weid plus Jackson/Tomlinson/Smith forward doesn't fill me with confidence.

If I had to guess, I would say Smith because the football department seem to love him and there's no room for him down back.  (Unless he comes in as a small defender for Jetta)

Jackson for T Mac   - LJ can run up the wings and take one of their defenders away from the 50

Jones for Melksham   - Melksham has had enough chances

 

I thought it worked well in the first quarter with McDonald leading further up the ground, with Weideman deeper. For that reason, I thought Brown would be a better fit than Jackson. Maybe Tomlinson to come in instead to play that role.

I agree.  But is tomlinson able to take contested marks - he seems to have gone out of the side due to lacking the competitiveness we require

Just the one change for mine. Jackson for TMac.

Cant see Jetta playing, especially with Lockhart locked in to the starting 18 in the back pocket.

I'm excited by this... the safe option is Tomlinson, with no guarantee, but Jackson will be exciting from a Melbourne supporters perspective with even less of a guarantee, and Smith could be exciting up forward and even less of a guarantee than Jackson...

Plenty of risky moves from Goodwin and co in selection.

Hawks have named Ceglar in their starting 22 but "AFL.com.au understands Ceglar – who has led the ruck for the Hawks this season – broke his toe early in last week's loss to Collingwood and will miss at least one week"Ceglar's broken toe.

Clarkson playing mind games!  Either Ceglar's injury report was a furphy or a late change coming up!

We should thrash their team.  They are old or have players with recent injury issues. 

They played short kick/mark, ring-a-ring-a-rosey in their back 50 last week like Cats vs us.  But unlike Geelong they didn't try to attack because they can't run/chase.  Too slow!

And do they have any recognised forwards other than Gunston?

Big question is will they come out all guns blazing after the blowtorch they received this week?

If we show last weeks composure and move the ball quickly we will win.  We have a much better team.

I'd like to see Jones in there somehow. Still think he has a bit to give.

I know it's not all about possessions but Lockhart must be doing some scintillating work off the ball that isn't evident on TV

 

Tomlinson in for TMac; Jones or ANB in for Melksham; maybe Smith for Jetta

Jackson for Tmac , Tomlinson isn’t a forward 

Tomlinson is a seriously good KPD if given the opportunity. Will enable May to go forward and provide that "contest" the coaching staff are always after, in the air.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
