Makes the decision to play him against the crows even more perplexing

Possibly.

Let's say he just misses this game - if we rest him from the soreness against the Crows, then he has less time to get up for the North game, and therefore he possibly miss both North and the Adelaide games.  This way, he can miss the North game anyway but have time to get himself up for the Pies game six days later.

If he misses the Collingwood game then I'll be more inclined to think Max and the club made the wrong decision in playing him.

    Regrettably seems my mail was correct.

    If we didn't take Preuss with us to Adelaide, despite knowing Gawn was in danger of not being able to play either/both games, that's horrendous IMO. What's worse is it means TMac will get back in, presumably with Jackson playing Gawn's role and TMac playing Jackson's. Disastrous result: Jackson might not be fit enough to play 1st ruck, and his opponent is a top 5 ruckman this season, and TMac's horribly out of form.

    Fingers crossed we have Preuss available and we can put him in Gawn's spot. Structurally much better result.

    Viney out should mean Brayshaw and Harmes spend more time in the middle. I'd put Harmes on Higgins and bring Rivers in to play Harmes' defensive role. Jetta to replace Lockhart if Lockhart's injured.

    Pickett for ANB, maybe Hannan for Benell too, so could see 4-5 changes.

    For those who are suggesting Tmac over preuss, watch this 

     

    Yes that was the moment that we started to draw up a contract for Preuss. If he’s fit, he the one to bring in. I just think goody might go with a tom mcd and LJ combo.

    I like the way we let the opposition know so early every time we have an injury

    Mighty neighbourly of us. We like helping them in their prep

    Dam 2 big outs. Our mids might want to study up goldstein. He will have a field day. Gee Viney is a huge loss. 

    also loses Gawn's impact in the backline. 

    So how did Viney get concussion?

    Surely the logical thing do to was to rest him for both the crows AND the roos game so he is cherry ripe for the Peis and Grundy.

    I'm excited by what our midfield group can achieve without Max and Viney. I think we'll be pleasantly surprised. Oliver, Gus and Petracca/Harmes. ?

    I'll agree with you if he misses the Pies game. That would be a terrible result. 

    If he gets up for the Pies game then he has theoretically only missed one game as opposed to two.

    Good outlook, mate. 

    I'd also hope that someone like Sparrow gets a few more midfield minures as well as I think he has shown a few positive signs in the last two weeks.

    The big decision is do we play Pruess who has no match fitness and doesn’t do much around the ground or do we go with make shift rucks. 
    tomo/weed/etc 

    id go the latter

    cant wait to see Gus in the middle

    Please tell me we got Pruess into the hub knowing that Big M was carrying & suffering from an injury a while back?

    LJ is just settling nicely in to a forward / minor ruck relief role and we are expecting him to take over a major ruck role the next week against Goldy?  And T-Mac as LJ's replacement?  Recipe for a solid loss if so.

    Even if he does play he could have done with the rest and would have surely been in better condition to take on grundy, in a must win game. He had torn muscles in his back after the Port game.

    Yes.  He only rucks the square and plays a spoiling role a kick behind play down the line or as part of the wall.  Don't see why he can't cover ruck down back most of the time as well.  LJ covers anything in the arc.

    Every game is a must win clash for us.  To play finals we need to win most games from here, so IF he only misses one game, I can see the logic.

    But I'll hold fire until next weekend.  If he doesn't get up for the Pies game, or even has a shocker and Grundy dominates, then I'll agree that we made an error in playing him against Adelaide.

    May should be the VC alongside Viney.  Flies the flag.

    • 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.

    • 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.
