Mitch Brown, Mitch Hannan, Trent Rivers and Joel Smith have missed selection, but will be the team's emergencies for Saturday’s game.

Would've liked to see Hannan, Rivers & Smith in and rest Jones, VDB & either Harmes/Sparrow.

Tomlinson will get Bruce 

And get out bodied easily. He's just as poor one on one.

 

I’m confident with this one, we have a better backline, a forward line that’s found it’s mojo & Clarry, Trac, Jack & Gus firingin the midfield, looking like 2018 again 

Get on board!!!

Would be a dramatic turnaround for Bruce to cause us any issues. Has been beyond rubbish this year.


So in the last 3 games we have played the 2 worst in the comp and the filth who were badly depleted. Tmrw we play an inconsistent but a capable side so winning this will give us some better impotus for the rest of the season. Losing it will mean the previous 3 weeks were a dream.

On the side I can understand no changes but why is tomlinson still playing. Against a quicker running side like the dogs I would give Rivers a run.

Can someone explain why we cant ask the ruckman to punch it in a certain direction, say towards our goals?

Preuss does not have Gawn's finesse and to say to the midfielders I am going to swipe it left, right or forwards must give us forewarning even if it does not come off without a hitch.  Doggies midfielders will be expecting the ball to land in the circle as a result of a nil-nil ruck contest and a probable scrum.. i know i loved Strawbs and I havent moved on but why not give it a go? serious question.

I really liked in the Pies game when he did that big first towards goal and I think it was Clarry that ran onto it. I think with Preuss it might be better to get the a bit of separation from the pack, obviously as long as it’s towards a plan that everyone is work to. 

Only concern is that the dogs have good speed in the middle and if they get onto it it could backfire very quickly.

TMac is a little lucky ... hope he hits the game hard and successfully.

Strange vibe that he's going to have a big game soon. Tmrw would be great. Dees by 36.

Yes that is fair enough. 
 

I’m so nervous for this one, the Crows/north were ones we needed to win and did so handily. Pies win was pretty ho-hum for mine, they were so depleted, this is the big test indeed.

Our backline has looked really good but Naughton (May takes him) is a very good player who will be a star in the not too distant future. Bruce has been terrible this season but has the Ben’s (Kingsley’s) about him. Doggies love multiple goal kickers from the smalls and mids.

The way they play worries me because they have the inside mids to give us some trouble at the clearance along with the ability to spread very fast. If Bont moves fwd that could cause issues too.

We need our mids to be really on top and the D to keep growing as a unit we’ve seen the last 3 weeks.

Hi Damo.

I would assume they would do this a few times during the match.

I see a downside if he misses the mark. They will be out of defensive positions. 

With a game under Preuss's belt and training as 1st ruck, the stoppages will be better prepared for.

I'll keep an eye open for the 10 meter slap as well as some finesse.

 

With a stable side we should see good field structures.

Hoping they work for each other and our turnovers are minimal.

Also don't give them goals in the last 3 minutes of the quarter.

Let's find time and space.

Remember the white boards, "blue minds",

Go Dees, hit the marks, play the roles, take it on and make a difference when it is your time.

Can the Dogs kick straight?  Usually they give us a look in by not converting.

On what evidence to you have the Vibe?

I asked deever the family Dachsund.

What more do you want?

Mind you, I should probably stop putting money on these decisions.

He was going well against the Collingwood bigs before they went down

I have a lot of faith in Preuss and it looks like our players do too. Could prove one of our best pick ups in a long time if we win two or three games without Maxy.

I’m not sure if there are many Premier League fans on here but Liverpool lost the first choice keeper who had been one of their best pick ups in years early in the first game of the season just gone. Didn’t have him for about 6-7 matches I think, everyone thought the sky was falling and Liverpool were stuffed. Up stepped Adrian, who’d barely been at the club a week. He stepped in and did a bloody good job in Allison’s absence, Liverpool won the title. 

A lot of teams over the years win premierships off of incredible injury runs but most have to cover for their stars at some point. Preuss could be our Adrian!

If Bruce is their Kent Kingsley against us, then maybe Tom McDonald is ours against them.

  • 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.
