    Out: Oscar, Hibberdย 

    In: Fritsch, Harmes

    Harmes to play through the midfield, don't need him down back with Rivers in the side.

    MEMO TO ALL:ย 

    I, and I assume most people here, visit this site to read aboutย andย discuss FOOTY. In particular the DEMONS. And in this thread, the discussion is intended to be about the PLAYERS and what TEAM our beloved club will field.ย 

    Can we please stop with the [censored] Covid blame-game [censored], itโ€™s just exhausting. Please shut up, unless discussing the above,ย or move the dog-chasing-its-tail nonsense to another thread or another platform altogether.ย 
    ย 

    Thanks in advance,ย

    Pretty much spot on for my changes, no match up for Oscar so he goes out. Jetta instead of Lockhart is a chance, he was given a positive mention after the scratch match.ย 

    After a stirring win like that I think theyโ€™ll try not to ring in too many changes.ย

    Anyone know ifย the weather in Cairns will be as oppressive as Darwin?ย 

    26 degrees with 80% humidity at kick off. And we have to all it all again 4 days later. Very concerned we'll either drop a winnable game in Cairns or put in a listless display against GWS (as perย Port game). These blokes are fit, but can they overcome this fixture cram?

    I'm giving this side an absolute out/excuseย if we miss finals. Alice - Cairns - Cairns in 9 days while other sides have mostly stayed in QLD.

    Bulldogs - 10 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

    St Kildaย  - 9 of their finalย 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

    North - 11 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

    Brisbane - Will leave QLD twice for the entire season FCS!!

    This season is a bit of a video game if you ask me. Just make it up as theyย go.

    I'm not giving this side any excuses whatsoever. If we make finalsย Goody is safe if we don't, he needs to go! Along with some underperforming players PERIOD! No more what ifs, shoulda, coulda, It's pure and simple. We have an excellent injury list, we need to be canny in selections and ring in rotations. ALL GAMES ARE WINNABLE and we need to consolidate! No more Bloody excuses!

    Iโ€™m with you on no excuses. That should be printed on the wall of our changingย rooms wherever we play.ย 

    But barring us losing the rest of our games badly Goodwin will be coaching us next year so you should probably just get used to that thought.ย 

    Every game is winnable, and yeah other teams have had it softer for travel but we have had a close to full strength list to choose from every week. Missing finals from this position would be embarrassing.ย

    We don't need another tall.

    Also, we need to replace Hibberd with a defender, not someone who plays on the left wing.ย ย Mind you, and just to be balanced, I'm not sure I'd want Michael O'Brien playing on the right wing, either. Not everyone born in Ireland makes a good footballer.

    Much more pleasant than Darwin. Around 65%humidity and 23 at kick off is typical for this time of the year.

    It can be windy during the day due to the trade winds but these drop off at night

    Of course there is the cane toad problem

    The sauce of my sauce (let's call him 'the concentrated sauce') informs me that Bennell knows heย wont get another senior game until he tests his legs at 100% pace. Seems loathe to run at full speed lest he have another breakdown. Might beย psychological fear, or could be a real fear of further injury. Not exactly groundbreaking, but interesting intel nonetheless

    Must say in the games I've watched he never really hits top gear.

    My sauce is impecable and a true gentleman.ย

    Any news regarding a contract for next year?

    ANB, Harmes, Fritsch and Smith in.

    AvB, Hibberd, Pickett And Hannan out

    ย 

    Pickett out.ย  Didnt replace him with a small forward, but we should beat Sydney regardless.

    Where will Joel Smith playย  when O Mac/May/Lever are still in the team?

    Hibberds replacement by the looks of it.

    once again, i for one welcome our new lizard overlords

    these changes are...intriguing

    all on anb to provide any forward pressure; how many weeks will they give him if he accidentally knocks someone out this week?

    i believe it should beย 

    B: Tomlinsonย  ย  OMacย  ย  ย Rivers

    HB: Salemย  ย  ย  ย  Mayย  ย  ย  ย  ย Lever

    C Langdon.ย  ย  ย  Petraccaย  Harmes

    R: Gawnย  ย  ย  ย  ย  Oliverย  ย  ย  ย  ย Viney

    INT: Jones Brayshaw Smith (FWD) JWagner

    But i can see any combination of Harmes Tomlinson and Smith in any half of the ground except Smith in a wing

    • 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
