But do they run around the ball, run around the contest and dodge tackles? 

Not as well.  

 

The helpful analysis here is almost defunct, and those posters who think its clever to bring in some reference to sacking the coach every time they speak offer less than Lee Harvey Oswald at a seminar on the 2nd amendment.

Unless Bennell has had his kicking foot amputated since the Adelaide game, he should’ve got a game this weekend.

I’m damn well sick of the atrocious kicking and decision making of this side at the moment.

I won't come for you if Smith is awful.  I know that he is awful  why can't you see it.   IMO they will play him no matter what now and possibly been told he is playing the last 2 games for his career.

Coz Goodwin doesn't play him where he should...... THE FORWARD LINE FFS

If this wasnt so serious it would be laughable..

SPARGO FMD 

BROWN played Ok in both games then dropped now gets back in ???? Happy to see it but why dropped in the first place??

MELKSHAM say no more ... The love child!

FRITSCH. Still missed easy goals Sheesh

NEAL BULLEN ?? BAKER??

One positive.. Nice to see Nev in side

SERIOUSLY .. We will get flogged. 

GOODWIN NFI

First time ever I will be barracking for opposition!! 

GAWD AWFUL

Lockhart?  He must be seriously screwed. 

Jetta May️ Lever

Salem. Tomlinson. Rivers. 

Langdon️ Viney️ Baker 

Melksham. Brown. Vberg

Pickett. Weid. Fritsch

Gawn️ Trac️Oliver

Int. ?Hunt   ?J.Smith  ?Neal-Bullen      ?Spargo 

Bennell, Lockhart, Sparrow must be considered unlucky. 

I just look at the selected side and it appears to be chock full of VFL standard players.

I think many have overrated our list.

If Lockhart is fit, how does he not get in ahead of ANB,  Spargo, Jetta, Baker, Smith, Pickett and Hunt, who is a bit different and I do like.

Lockhart is a solid small forward.. he should be in the team at one end or the other.  It really is ridiculous.

I genuinely believe this.

We have so many holes on our list right now. A big cull is coming our way at the end of the year.

Agree. He tackles. Good pace. Intense. Smothers.  Better than quite a few others. 

We need that pressure game to come back. Hunting in packs, sticking tackles, picking up the spilt ball, and in general, getting to the contest. Does Goody call it, playing our "brand"?

 Would like to see us dispose efficiently when under pressure, with no clangers and plenty of disposals to advantage.

I don't want us to be competing in the same space against each other. Know where your mates are and help each other.

Bad luck about Hibbs, good Nev gets a run at it. He can create good chemistry with others and is a team first player.

Worried about the forwards. Some high percentage inside 50's conversions will help.

Only 3 changes, at least a little more stability.

The opposition, not much of chance to train, will suffer team structure problems and cohesion due to 8 changes. They will be playing a more natural game, so there should be lots of holes we can take advantage of.

Keep Cameron and Green quiet and we could to steal it.

Though they do have a good looking list.

Do the Dees want it more and are prepared to put their bodies on the line as compared to GWS getting a roll on and playing skilled football?

Bring the pressure, go Dees.

It’s the depth of the list. To many vfl quality players that are unproven at AFL level over several seasons, there is about 6-7 in this weeks team and was the major problem last yr with our long injury list.

He is the worst  player that the club have had in my life time and i have seen some bad one's. He does not cut it on  at this level.

Not even if he played on the forward line. He would have to be a certainty to be delisted or traded  if he is lucky.

He has had 7 Possessions combined the last 2 games, all ineffective.

This thread is about Team selections this week... stick to the script picket!

Bedford gets dropped but not Baker or Pickett. Both their games were as bad as Isaac Weetra's debut!

No one can hit an I50 target to save themselves but Bennell remains out of the team.

Lockhart must have gone back to Tassy and got himself lost in the wilderness.

Hunt, apparently concussed last week, is named in the backline. Fat chance of that happening!

When we are losing most folks bag the selections like we have stars waiting in the wings that should be selected. 
melksham should be dropped. For who? Hannan? Please 

we are an average team. The changes made improve our team from last week

  • 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

  • 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.
