Out of the games Oscar has played in this year, only the Round 1 loss to the Eagles and the Port loss feature opposition scores that were above the average this year. Not sure he was solely to blame for that in those particular games either.

The other 3 games feature opposition scores below average, 2 of which we won.

The last person we need coming in is OMac. Particularly if its wet.

 

Will wait for the first bounce to see if Pendlebury plays.

A few weeks ago he was withdrawn during the warm up.  His replacement was dressed and ready to go so it wasn't a last minute tweak.  Wouldn't surprise if they don't repeat the stunt this week.

Yeah they may opt for just Lever and May given the conditions.

Intriguing selection night.

    He's a long way off being fully right to play. Injury is much worse than reported. Huge game for both clubs though so think that's why they're willing to risk it.

    Nothing against Pendlebury personally but if they want to play with fire I hope he breaks down, they play one down, lose the game and he is out for the season. 

    As I said, I'll believe it when I see him at the bounce.

    What are you thinking will be the changes @Lord Nev?

    Would only be guessing, especially given there's so many options, but given Preuss was emergency last week then he would be a chance to come in for sure. The conditions may change selection slightly too.

    Could be...

    OUT: Jackson, 2 out of Harmes, vB, Jones

    IN: Preuss, Lockhart, VIney

    Go Preussy you did thing. Massive game to come in for as well.

    And hopefully it is just a case of playing it safe with Gawn and he isn’t out for too long.

    Happy to have the big Preussian in. Just hope he plays his role, gives Grundy a hard time and then hope the other selections/inclusions allow us to retain the structure up forward. 

    Preuss - good decision, if Grundy plays as expected, they have 2 proper ruckman with Cameron.

    Oscar should come in and if Tomlinson can make some sort of contest in the ruck that will be a good outcome. Oscar's defence is heart in mouth stuff. He a lot more reliable conveyance this year. 

    Think you've nailed it AF. 

    Dont need Oscar, but Brown could be handy

    Unleash the Punky Preusster. I have no idea how this will go but should be interesting.

    Jones out. Tomlinson to the wing. Never to play in defence again

    Omac in. Plays deep, on Reid. The Omac bandwagon must have broke its axle with people jumping on and off so quickly.

    Tmac stays in for Jackson. Plays as a forward.

    Lockhart comes in

    Viney in.

    Maxy plays. But Preuess comes if i'm wrong.

    Two players get  dropped. Should be Harmes. Wont be. Should be Melksham. Won't be. A leader apparently. Could be AVB. Wont be. 

    Spargo and Rivers the unlucky ones.

     

    And thats been the problem with our selections for a while now. Goody plays favourites all right!


    Braydon Preuss, this is exactly what you were recruited for. 
    Go for it.

    Exactly. If he can't fill in for the next week or two at a passable level,  what use is he to the Club? 

    I'm glad we've gone with Preuss to replace Jackson.

    Put TMac in Jackson's role and see if he can at least give us the same level of contest that Jackson was.

    Meanwhile Preuss has to make sure he's not letting Grundy dictate the hit outs, and has to stay with him around the ground. Grundy's been off, badly, the last few games bu if he returns to form, he could easily be the difference.

    Hopefully he smashes a tired grundy

    I reckon they'll pull Grundy out and itll be Cameron V Pruess.

    they'd be naive to go in with too many sore/underdone players.  Grundy won't like the thought of a desperate Pruess finally getting a run after 12 months barrelling into him.

    • 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.
