Only thing I'll say on this, is that Hunt has been given a crack this year and, for the most part, done little with it.

Time to give Charlie a crack and see if he can do better.

Agree that Hunt was disappointing in his 3 appearances this year albeit 3 goals v the Blues. However he did kick 21.10 with 18 GA's in his 21 games last year. Offers more than Spargs IMO.

Won't argue that Hunt wasn't handy last season.  His stats are proof of that.

But he is well off the boil this season.  Happy to back in the Spargo selection until late tomorrow night when he doesn't do much and I eat some delicious humble pie. ;)

Everyone offers more than Spargo. He had his chance against the Eagles and stuffed it. WOEFUL FOOTBALLER.

I dunno what the point is in having Preuss if we don't play him for this exact scenario.

EXACTLY. HE MUST BE ABSOLUTELY [censored]&(ED OFF THAT HE SIGNED WITH US. THERES PLENTY OF CLUBS THAT COULD USE HIM. HES SEEMS UNWANTED BY GOODWIN

Thought they should've rested Jones, don't know how he'll fire up after such a short turn around.

Developing.

To me, he deserves a run at it.  Hunt got his chance and did little with it.  Bennell has been hot and cold.  Time to give Charlie a game or two and see if he can cement a spot in the side going forward.  He's shown he is capable of doing it.

He's a smart player he just needs to play to his strengths and not cough up the ball.

 

No problem with these selection except for the Spag Bol. 
 

looking at the comments here, if North have as much trouble working out who rucks when and what our forwards set up is going to be, then Goody may have pulled off a selection masterstroke. 
 

if, however, we come second in a two horse race, he will be a long time scraping egg off face.

Spag Bol for El Capitan

really will miss Gawn and Viney and Lockhart.  Lockhart has played really well over the past 3 weeks and whilst big in stats, his tackles and smothers and spoils and pace as a back pocket has been excellent.  They need to be back for the Pies clash. 
 

Dangers are clearly Higgins, Goldstein, Polec and I think Zurhaar and Jed Anderson with their pace in the forward line. 

Well that's a season ending selection of ins.

SG does it again.  Roll on 2021.

Good grief i have been waiting all evening for this

Spargo and T mac Selection equals committee  lost plot

Tmac is not right cant run cant catch cant turn cant kick  the game has passed him by 

Spargo is vertically challenged with zero footy smarts

Why employ Preuss if not for this scenario

Tmac has played and shown nothing. Preuss at least may really want to play and perform against his old club

Yes it does seem very strange from the outside

Goodwin still needs to perform

He aint safe...

Given the bizarre nature of the season, I could sort of understand the changes.

That is until I read on the Melb website that Jackson " will be taking the number 1 ruck duties" !!!!! 

That is crazy! Goldy will be too strong and too experienced for him. I can't see it doing any good for his confidence or his body. 

I assumed Tmac would ruck against Goldy and aim to at least nullify his hit outs and then we rely on our strong mids.

WTF is Pruess by the way

I don't get it.

They don't have much do they North Higgins and Goldstein. Polec was dropped 2 weeks ago and Zurhaar and Anderson are just average. The question is can Brayshaw get any where near Viney's level and can Jackson get any where near Gawn's level if they can we should win easily but if they can't we will struggle I think we will win anyway North have proven they can't win without Cunnington and Ziebell and Brown to that equation then they shouldn't get close.

Easily in SG & Co's top 10 worst ever committee results.  And that's saying something.

T-Mac is Gawnsky and Spargo is bottom of the small man rung at the club.

Goody still experimenting with the season on the line.  What a donkey.

I am a bit surprised that Prusss was not picked. On about $500,000 a game he is our most expensive player. Just looking at the teams, I think the Dees might win this one. We just have too many players that should win their positions. I think it will be an ugly game though.

Thanks Uncle....Pruess sitting around for this exact scenario but let's bring back T-Mac .  Just as LJ was finding some touch up forward let's throw him into the ruck against the hulking Goldy so he can get mashed.

There's an old saying i live by ..."If you don"t be bloody stupid you'll be alright".

I must be in the minority but if McDonald is 100% fit, I am happy with him and Jackson sharing the ruck. I would have been much happier if Max rested last game rather than this one though. 


Normally I would have preferred Preuss, but the fact he hasn’t played any sort of game in however long makes it hard.

Not a fan of the Spargo selection, but let’s see.

We have 7 defenders so I think Harmes will definitely be back.

Jones and Sparrow in the midfield.

Spargo forward but I think he could spend time in the middle, it's worth a shot he's not a forward.

Rivers as the 7th defender.

I think we will share the ruck, Tom at the centre bounces, Jacko up forward and Tomlinson down back.

 

I really don’t like us constantly calling our players ‘spuds’.  Paging Werridee, you’ve have made it abundantly clear via umpteen posts in this thread alone, that you think he is one (a spud) but remember he is one us, trains hard, bleeds red and blue every time he represents us in battle.  Give Charlie a chance ? you never know he might surprise us all.

Have a look at Hunts last couple of games. Pathetic. He should be in the team but he lost the chance. Show some intensity and consistency and he might stay in.

  • 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

    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.
