    Was hoping we can have the joy of a win tonight and an extended squad announcement tomorrow night. Guessing the latter won’t be the case.

    Gawn was well managed tonight i thought.

    I have to agree with this post. I noticed in many of our earlier games, Gawn seemed to ruck 90% of the match. He seemed to spend more time off and down forward tonight. 
     

    Another note I made during the match was he was not used at all really as the long kick out option from a behind.

    AVB if injured , bring in TMac 

    T Mac? Get real. 

    Shouldn't get a look in for a while with Weid and Jackson in good form. Would be madness to select him.

    These changes improve our skill level and unless we do something here we are going nowhere

    if lockhart is unfortunate enough for the graze of a punch, then jetta the obvious in...although wouldn't be surprised if they went for jordon

    i know bennell didn't do much but he's just dangerous enough so if he pulls up okay then all things being equal i'd prefer him in the 22 to hunt or some such

    Hopefully Goody now realises that fresh legs will be required on a four-day break - the Cats and others certainly did and our effort against Port showed why only a couple of changes won't do.

    As a result I have more changes than most of you and basically designed to provide run.

    Out: ANB (susp), Sparrow, Bennell (rested), Jones (rested), Lockhart (rested) with tricky decisions on heaps of others.

    In:  Pickett, Hunt, J.Smith, Rivers, Jetta

    Gawn is clearly not right and needs a rest In preparation for the really taxing games ahead. Play TMAC in the ruck which might actually run him into form which would be a huge boost if it comes off. Lockhart l don’t think is up to it, and l think Rivers is much more skilful than him, and quicker. Hannan for ANB makes sense.  I’d also play Jones in AVB role. 

    We still have much more improvement to go but are building nicely but wouldn’t want to drop NM game, or Essendon for that matter.

    Shouldn't get a look in again, at all.

    Rivers for mine if that's the case, not Jordon, he's a midfielder. 


    Goldstein then Grundy is a terrible duo to have for Max, there's not a good option to rest him for either game. I think if he's right to go we have to keep playing him and try to get the win against North.

    I have my doubts over the following players:
    ANB - suspended
    Bennell, Jones - off the pace
    Vanders - ?injury
    Tomlinson at CHB

    And that's before I get to Gus and Sparrow making us one mid too heavy, Harmes at half back, Melksham's efforts and so on.

    I'd probably go
    Out: ANB, Jones, Tomlinson
    In: Pickett, Hannan, Oscar

    Reckon they'll experiment with Tomlinson at CHB for a while. They know what they're gonna get from Oscar.

    The club has already said they won't be resting players so I don't know why demonlanders put it in there.

    Pickett is a must in for his pace.

    If Gawn says he's right then he's right and as demonlanders have already mentioned we come up against 2 of the most dominant ruckman in the comp so he is probably needed.

    ANB will be suspended.

    Sparrow should stay in the side he has been quite good.

    I don't know about Rivers we don't need another backman.

    I'd like to see Jordon come in  and replace Jones his disposal is a liability. 

    Jordon has a reputation of having good disposal.

    So for me it's IN: Pickett, Jordon

                            OUT: ANB, Jones

     

    B: LOCKHART, MAY, SALEM

    HB: HARMES, LEVER, HIBBERD

    C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON

    HF: PICKETT, JACKSON, BENNELL

    F: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH

    FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY

    IC: BRAYSHAW, VANDENBERG, SPARROW, JORDON

     

    If Vanders is out again then Jones stays in for his hardness.

    Oscar is a spud. Persist with Tomlinson.

    They should know what they'll get with Tomlinson back there as well. He's fractionally quicker and he's definitely fitter and more willing to get involved in attacking play.

    But against absolutely no one in the Crows forward line he had 1 intercept possession so he didn't win the ball back and he did very little with the ball either. The reasons for moving him - to get more uncontested possessions and kicking from the backline didn't really pan out.

    North will likely go in with 2 of Larkey, Walker and Daw. The kind of big aerial threats that Oscar usually does ok on and who will probably prove too big and too strong for Tomlinson.

    • 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.

      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.

      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.
