Not sure about tmc at chf but hope gets back to form,imagine if that front 6 were all in form they would be very hard to beat.On paper thats a finals forward line

Would love to see some youngsters.

Sorry Apologies to Lord Nev and Joel Smith who both could have been in Interchange or if not fit enough in that category.

Three talls up front won't work. May in his article on the AFL website yesterday stated the plan this year was to lock the ball into forward 50 so we need more smalls for that.

TMac and Melksham out for Spargo and next best small (whoever is training the best, perhaps one of the newbies)

I wouldn't have Tmac starting at CHF with Jackson Brown and Weideman there.. Way too tall.

Hard to imagine our best 22 with Tmac starting at CHF after his performance over the last 2 years. I don't care how fit he looks this pre-season needs to earn his way back into the side. 


I assume we have two practice matches.

One where we arrange with another team - ie- North at Arden Street last year. This game would probably involve a bit of experimenting.

The other being an official pre-season game, which would be the full dress rehearsal.

Usually practice matches are a chance to play players in different roles or play players not in the 22 to see how they perform under match conditions against another team. No team ever plays their best 22 in a practice match.

Do we have a practice match this week or is the OP referring to the Preseason Comp?

It's starting to feel a lot like FOOTBALL !

It’s a practice match I think they will trial the 4 talls if not put in Lockhart

That’s not true the last few years have played our strongest side in the pre season comp

No we don’t have a practice match this week we don’t know who we playing yet I’m getting in early


can't see the likes of hibberd and brayshaw (or petty and hore) being part of any practice match situation

i think we are allowed play a six man bench in the practice games?

Works in a practice match with the larger interchange, but that forward line is probably too tall.

We're still missing the small forwards we need to consistently win games. I know we drafted that way but until they're up and running, I reckon we could be looking at more of the same.

At least one of TMc, Jackson, Weideman or BBrown had to miss out on a weekly basis.

McDonalds pre season form is too hard to ignore so it would be playing their strongest team like Jordon that’s why I have him front of Lockhart

players regularly will sub out at HT/3QT in praccy matches, i'd imagine Brown would probably come out at some point maybe same as jackson to not over work them early on.

Similarly hibbo and jones would feature sporadically allowing nietschke/bowey/laurie the likes a feel for it for a quarter here or there

can also see viney/gawn sitting out say a final quarter to allow jacko to ruck and sparrow/jordon to feature inside

spargo and pickett another year and more mature should be improved and provide the small forward players you refer too

Is Tomlinson definitely locked in as a defender now?  Is he really that good back there?

I thought he was fairly serviceable last year. He's no star, but he appears to hold his own down back mostly.  

 

Rather than trial players in other positions, why not pick the player that plays that position the best and most professionally and let them show it in a practice match? Scratch matches and training are good spots to try other positions.

I think we seem to be experimenting players in other positions too much in the Goody years.

He did some nice things for sure.  This is likely his first ever preseason as a defender so that can only help.

  • 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.
