With Hore going down for the year, and still question marks over Smith and Petty due to their bodies breaking down from time to time, I question the depth of our backs. 

With a few list spots available i would be looking at these delisted player options to add some further depth to our stocks down back.

Sam Skinner 196cm tall defender.

Hugh Goddard 198cm tall defender.

Harrison Macreadie 196cm who plays as a 3rd rebounding defender.

Matthew Sharenberg 190cm 3rd tall intercept defender.

Ed Vickers Willis 187cm 3rd tall defender.

Sam During 196cm tall defender.

Logan Austin 197cm tall intercept defender

Some of these names could easily cover as depth. Sharenberg  and Logan Austin are the two who I'd personally look at.

Did Hore play last year?

No. But remember we've also lost Oscar McDonald & Josh Wagner, and we've not brought in any defenders.

 

From the training reports we've got 13 in the defensive group.  Hore is out injured; Petty, Hibberd and Smith are in rehab.

That means we need to find a starting 7 from these 9: May, Lever, Tomlinson, Salem, Rivers, Hunt, Lockhart, Bowey and Jetta.

A re-inforcement could be handy

It is possible that TMac and M.Brown could fill in.

Not sure this is our biggest concern. Have a feeling Hore would have struggled to play this year. HB's Salem, Tomlinson/Lever Rivers. FB Lockhart May Tomlinson/Lever.  Plus Petty/Smith backup. Understand what you're saying about both their injury histories. But not too worried at this point. With May and Tomlinson as key backs and both interceptors and Lever as the main 3rd back interceptor can't see room for another unless one of those 3 get injured and then both the backups are injured.  

maybe when we get to round 6 and tmac hasnt broken into the side yet they'll swing him back there?

 

I believe technically we can still get Oscar back as a pre-season supplementary...

(Ducks for cover)

He’s had awful injury luck and skills aren’t great but I’d have Ed VW. He’s a great competitor and gives his all. 
 

We can’t trust Tomlinson, Lever or Petty to play defensively on a good opponent. We need another mid sized defender who can do a job

Choco Williams loved Scharenburg and has talked him up a few times during his career, if he's over his injuries I reckon he'd be a good chance

Unfortunately this is just the way Goodwin rolls. No ruck depth, no key defensive depth, starting to look light on in the middle as  well with no kids coming through. Basically just cross your fingers and hope for the best.

But why bother with these critical positions when you can have 27 small forwards on your list?


Would love to see a punt taken on Scharenburg, Austin or even Goddard would be nice to have as cover for the gorillas. I don't know, but now that we've discussed it our back 6 will probably get wiped out with injury after 3 rounds.

Light on in the middle?

No one coming through ? 
 

Sparrow JJ Harmes  (back in mid field )plus Bowey and Laurie can play outside runners.

Defenders may need Tommy Mac for depth and Brown (Mitch) can play Down back plus If Petty is fit it will lift our stocks immensely up forward or down back.

It's good thinking - looking to the needs but do we have the resources?

 

Key backs: May, Tomlinson, Lever, Hibbard, Smith

Running backs: Lockhart, Hunt, JJ, Nieshke, (Nev)

Additional talls: TMac, Petty, Potentially Brown

Think we have depth, perhaps no back-up to lever role is the only true hole.

I would say if we needed a replacement, it would be for an intercept defender as back up.

Tommy Mac  plays Both KP and interceptor role in one really and I like Petty ( if fit) and Mitch Brown  in that role also. These options are real and of some substance.
Hibbo Smith and Lever are not KP backs but smaller med size options in a glaring emergency. Lever has proven that one on one he is not the answer rather floating intercepting and distributing from the backline.

Hore  is like Lever But the last thing we should do is panic and get just an interceptor. A serviceable 195 cm marking  and strong bodied defender would be more useful overall.

We get back Petty and TMac should be used back there.

Think we will be fine.

I like Petty, but given he's just had a year out and is already behind this preseason I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

TMac who knows hey? They could play him anywhere. I'm not a fan of putting him in the backline now that we've made moves to try and make it safer though. We've made BIG improvements in our back half turnovers the last 2 years.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • 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.
