50 odd goals AND he missed the first 4 weeks of the season from memory. Tmac was a genuine forward force in 2018. 

correct.

he kicked 76 goals and only 26 behinds between the 2nd half of 2017 and the 2018 season.

76 from ~28 games is Coleman form.  what happened?!?

    Interesting that  today's Qld covid case is within the 28 day ban imposed by WA.

    Will the Eagles V GCS game go ahead in Perth... (only Round1)

    I do wonder how we can be rebuilding since 2015 (after 2 failed rebuilds) and still have so many holes in our list...

    Good point.

    They could move to the game to Adelaide Oval on Sunday week?

    I thought the magical vaccines would fix everything.

    Surely the media, big pharma and government haven't been lying to us?   ?

    The vaccine does nothing. You can still catch covid and still pass it on. Might make virus mutate into another strain. Nobody really knows.

    Not really community transmission, just in a hospital setting.

    And longmuir can coach for sure. Albeit short period on which to judge

    We need a T Mac miracle if we are going to salvage the first part of our season. In the two practice matches he has shown nothing to suggest that such a miracle will be forthcoming but we've lived in hope rather than expectation for so many of the last 50 years...

    Maybe they should play him out of the square instead of up on the wing? Just a thought

    True that forward line is not much better than VFL standard

    Its not so bad when you consider Petracca and Gawn will roll through there ....  but yes we do need BBB, Weid and Melk back.

    Half the team played in 2018 finals.

    May Lever Jackson Pickett Tomlinson and Langdon are some of the additions. So counting them and 2/3 of the team you could argue all get a game in a finals side. Add Viney Melksham Brown and Weiderman. It's not anywhere near as bad a squad as it seems. Just a bit too much inexperience for comfort. But on paper it's still solid. Or it *should* be solid.

    Pretty interesting thread on the Freo BF board. Seems were both looking at same issues with our teams heading into round 1, namely key forwards/forward line.

    https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/changes-rnd-1-vs-demons.1257077/

    Maxy SHOULD dominate in the ruck then it's gonna come down to a battle of the midfields I think.

    I just read the first post on the link, if that’s how Freo line up and we lose Choco can coach from round two onwards

    I know it’s VFL, but if Majak has booted 4 goals and dominated the ruck, we may just have a rd 1 bolter on our hands. In all likelihood they’ll select Jackson and TMac, but the latter does not cut it as a forward. Jackson took some nice grabs against the Doggies, but was playing a long way from goal. I would really like a genuine tall at FF, just to provide a contest. I’m not sure the TMAC or Jackson can offer that. It’s a big game this. We need a good start to the year as the first month is a challenge. I’d be rolling the dice on Majak

    Looking at their forward line, ill be positive and predict we shall sit atop the afl ladder for the first time in 16 years?  7 goals to 3.

    Totally agree, I feel like one of the issues is we’ve confused his role. Play him out of the square, look for the lead not just plonk it on his head. 

    I don’t think our coaches do the players any favours sometimes, play him as our FF.

    You’d imagine they will have to ply Fyfe forward for a large part of the game 


    Anyone aware if team announcements are returning to the usual time of 6:25pm Thursday night this season? Covid or not, wasn’t a fan of waiting until the night before a game last season for the team to be listed.

    In my view Maxy dominating in the ruck makes F'all difference to the clearances so what is it you like?

    • 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.

      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.
