Bbb can't do it all.

At present he really is are only tall.

Melk has been good but isn't a big man . Neither is Fritta.

WWXcan't play Weid but if we have Jackson in the ruck...Max is nit a reliable link to leave up fwd.

It's a huge gamble playing Tmac ...I'm not sure Goody will risk it.

Can Tomlinson play fwd or is he injured?

    No way TMac plays before at least another Casey game IMO. If I were him I’d be mentally preparing for a tilt at a Casey flag and treat anything else as a bonus.

    Agree, if we win through to the GF there is no way the FD will change the team unless there's an injury.

    The chances are an injury could well appear and T-Mac could be near the top of emergencies or close to next in line (because of his versatility)

    Not forgetting that we have had a number of players who have missed out on selection because of a late injury (not publicised) or for Covid reasons

    And in an ideal world the MC might like him in the team (above the depth players)

    If we can make it to the GF Tom could find himself in the team by default

    let's say we win on Friday and Melksham has a poor to middling game.

    T Mac plays VFL the following week and plays a decent but not spectacular game

    Who gets picked for the PF

    And just to make it more interesting Smith kicks three and has four goal assists in the VFL game

    I would not be playing Mitch Brown regardless of his VFL form.

    Three games this year. Averaged 8 disposals. Goal-less in two games. Two goals v Crows in a 6 goal win.

    Yep there’s no point risking next year. He said the injury is a 6 month One and he’s back playing in 3 months. I know it’s all about flags and premiership medallions but we will be there abouts next year as well so better to have a fit and firing KPF as we are low in stocks and the ones we do have are not in the best health.

    Depends how poor Melksham was and how T Mac feels but on face value I would play T Mac in the prelim.  very harsh on melksham but a second talls adds a lot to our structure around the ground, not just up fwd

    Smith - Casey

    Just last year Hibberd was out after r22 (dropped? Injured?) then missed r23 and the QF

    Recalled for the PF when Smith was injured

    Im 100 % sure Tmac won't be selected unless via injury.

     

    Too late for such a risk and too much at stake.

     Sad.

    If TMac fully fit and played 3-4 games he would obviously be in the team.

    Watching him last weekend he looked slow and lacking in mobility - totally understandable after his injury!

    He would need to improve nearly 50% in his next vfl game on what he showed last weekend to be considered for selection in the finals series.

    The trouble with TMAC is after an injury, it takes him a good 5-6wks to get into form and is usually woeful in that time. I wish he was fit and firing though.

    That is simply not true. I have posted stats on this before, You are perpetuating an urban myth.

    That's your opinion.

    Not everyone else's some more positive others are very positive.

    Still has next weeks PF for match play with Casey Dees or Our Semi if considered ok if we don't win.

    The deeper we get into the finals series the better he's going to get and I find it a reassuring thought to know we have him sitting in our back pocket

    • 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.
