Happy with that, not convinced ANB but worth a shot

Based on what we’ve seen pre season he definitely deserves his place in the team.

    Salem Petty Hunt

    Langdon Oliver Bowey 

    Chandler. TMac. Petracca

    Fritsch. Jackson  Pickett

    Gawn Brayshaw Harmes

    Jordan Melksham ANB Jones

    Will be a tough game given the injuries we have but I still think we cn win it if the players heads are in the right place and they play to their strengths. The game on Monday against the Bulldogs should be a real wakeup call for the players. They needs to bring their game each and every week for 1005 of each quarter.

    My line up:

    FB : Bowey, May, Lever

    HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, Salem

    C: Langdon, Oliver, Baker

    HF: Jones, TMac, Brayshaw

    F: Fristch, Jackson, Spargo/Chandler 

    Foll: Gawn, Petracca, Harmes

    IC: ANB, Pickett, Jordan/Sparrow, Petty

     

    Emg: Jetta, Chandler/Spargo, Jordan/Sparrow, AVB

    Bowey to take Jetta's spot first up. Baker to get first crack at the vacant wing and Jones to play. Toss up between Chandler and Spargo and between Jordan and Sparrow for mine. Petty and ANB on the IC gives us plenty of flexibility to move players through defence, wing and forward. I think we will need a few different plans for the forward line to make sure we can kick the score needed to win.

    As always, the game will be won in the midfield. Want to see them get first use of the ball at stoppages and to really bring the pressure to the opposition ball carriers. Oh yeah...and stick the tackles. Please stick the tackles. 

    Will need big games from Petracca, Oliver, Gawn, May and Lever.

    Dees by 4 goals. Fritsch, Petracca and Tmac as main goal scorers.

     

     

    I'm really not feeling it this year.. Maybe its the lack of a over hyped Pre Season video package! Lel

    But seriously.. I've got a bad feeling about Rd1.

    Freo will be no pushover despite their recent injuries. 

    A midfield boasting Fyfe, Mundy, Cerra, Serong, Brayshaw, 2 superstars and 3 who had fantastic seasons last year and will improve. I reckon it’s a stronger midfield than ours.

    The betting odds in this game are way off in my opinion. Our form at The G in 2019 was poor.

    And lets not forget they beat us just a few games ago when we had finals to play for.

    They are a better team than us and much better coached.   Fact.

    After we picked up b.brown I was feeling very positive about this season but am now feeling we will struggle to make the 8.

    Having Tomilison, Jones, Tmac and a couple of others in the next game by most reveals a lack of depth.

    Cant help injuries and while we have a high ammount of injuries, great clubs have the depth to cover them. We are not there yet and relying on too few. A shout out to May And Lever who gave their all against the dogs. 

    Hopefully we can get many back sooner but also be more ruthless at delist time.

    No because it wasn't an opinion it was a fact.  Fact.


    My mates and I have a list that we call the Coach Killers. Unfortunately most of them will probably play the first round due injuries. OK, so we get some midfield grunt back but our forward line consists of a tall we tried to get rid of, a beanpole, a second season kid and a bunch of undersized B-graders.

    Deep doo-doo

    That's the best description of our forward line I have read HJ.

    The MFCSS is really starting to take hold on this thread

    Freo were pretty ordinary on the weekend and Walters is a huge out.

    We'll win in front of the faithful at the G

    Save the MFCSS for Rd 2 against the saints at Marvel

    I remember similar things being said late year BDA and we know how that turned out.

    Sorry Arti, that is a question. 

    No win is ever guaranteed with this footy club. You never know which footy team is going to rock up. I'm so sick of 'key learnings'.

    My team with Melksham and Hibberd unavailable.

    B: HUNT, MAY, LEVER

    HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS

    C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER

    HF: NEAL-BULLEN, MCDONALD, PICKETT

    F: FRITSCH, GAWN, CHANDLER

    FOLL: JACKSON, OLIVER, BRAYSHAW

    IC: JONES, HARMES, SPARGO, BOWEY

    EMERG: PETTY, JORDON, JETTA, SPARROW


    Any chance we can throw Hunt back into the forward line?

    Is a natural goal kicker coming off a 4 goal game versus Essendon and blind Freddy can see that our fwd line aside from Fritsch can’t kick a goal to save themselves.

    Our practice game at Marvel, wasn't much chop.

    Hoping when we play badly under the roof, we play better at the G.

    Perhaps, the windy and open spaces at Casey set us up for that scenario.

    So much misery. If you can’t have hope at this time of year, what’s the point?

    id much prefer. Low key build up to the hype of pre 2019. Back the boys in. I believe We can have a successful season

    We finished 3 places higher than Freo last year. Therefore we are a better team. Fact.

    • 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.
