Assuming Melk, Pickett and Angus not match fit. 

Perhaps Harmes (or bring in VDB) to try to run with the beast Fyfe

    Sure are. I think its a genuine 50/50 game. 


    At home we should be too good. Their defence is just okay which is good as our fwd line is the same. Our defence beats their fwd line easily. They have a good young midfield but we have more mature quality. 

    fyfe and Walters are the wildcards as if they both have days out we would be in trouble

    and there lies the problem.

    Walters single handedly beat us in Cairns with his 3 goal performance in a 3 goal win. There was a perception that Freo were far to good for us that night but the reality was the they could barely buy a goal either. Walters was able to kick the clutch goals that night which made all the difference.

    Walters also kicked 3 goals against us in 2019 but we were able to take control in the last qtr.

    Aside from Fyfe, Walters and a possible lack of hunger (per Cairns) we should be able to beat them in most departments.

    Playing at the MCG should help us a it’s a lot harder for their defensive press to be effective

    With the increased speed of ball movement as well as more offensive forward entries as a result of rule changes, I can’t see how Neville Jetta can possibly play as a small defender.  

    Game is now way too fast for Jetta.

    Fair point but Jetta has proved many wrong over his career and I reckon he could do it again. 

    Michael Walters has officially done a hamstring!

    Rory Lobbe also potential significant knee Injury.

    His crumb and snap for goal in the second quarter was worthy of some of the best small forwards never mind a 6 foot 6 beast.

    We should belt Freo, they appear to deficient (going forward and defending rebounds) just where we are strong (defending into aggressive rebounds). 
    with their injuries... as well. 

    Bring on Round 1.

    Will not be a walk in the park. Their defence is good and we need our forwards that are standing and  selected to step up and pressure their players. Our defence will hold up and all it needs is midfield to connect with forwards and we should get a win but by no means will it be a easy win. Plenty of respect for the Dockers.

    The practice match of the WA derby was devastating.

    Too much pride on the line, silver tails versus the workers.

    They took it a bit seriously, playing above the 90% effort.

    West Coast wanting to show some dominance after the first practice match and Freo trying to chase down the score.

    Probably no more practice matches between them in the future.

    Adelaide and Port too big a difference in level, GWS and Sydney don't have the same dislike. Suns and Brissy, probably not the same mentality. 

    Hope we are smart against the dogs. No repeat of son of Smith. 

    Just a test for our systems and to get some anaerobic effort into them.

    That’s massive if Walters is out.

    Has kicked a combined 6 goals the last 2 times we played them and was the key factor in our loss against them in Cairns. I was concerned we don’t have a suitable match up for him.

    My Freo fear factor has reduced somewhat after watching their game yesterday. If I had the choice of one player to miss for them it would have been Walters. He was the difference in Cairns last season. Huge out for them.

    Defensively they are solid (Brennan Cox very good). Our forward 50 entry will need to be spot on.

    They got hemmed in for much of the second half but when they did look to move the ball they turned it over plenty.

    Forward of centre pretty ordinary. Taberner didn’t look confident, dropping marks and missing shots.

    I'm not contemplating defeat at all. We'll win this game by 5 goals

    Btw ridiculous injury toll for a pre-season game.

      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.
