I just hope and pray for no serous injuries to anyone especially our key players. 

No injuries and strong performances by key players is all I’m after. Ideally don’t want us to be destroyed but if we lose I’m not going to be worried. Then again if we win I’ll probably start saying premiership favourites ?.

I'll try and pick the team before the squad comes out.

B: PETTY, MAY, LEVER

HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS

C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER

HF: LAURIE, MCDONALD, NEAL-BULLEN

F: FRITSCH, JACKSON, SPARGO

FOLL: GAWN, SPARROW, JORDON

IC: BOWEY, ROSMAN, HUNT, HARMES, LOCKHART, CHANDLER, JETTA, JONES

I'm with you there OD. I joined in 2011 because the club needed me. Last year, me and my boy had Trident memberships, which became a $1K+ donation to the club due to COVID. Nothing from the club by way of thanks, I reckon the more members we get, the more they take us for granted. 

Didn't you get the 2020 Member pin?

I'd be very surprised if Daw didn't get a run, no point having a look at him just at training, Farmer and Deakyn Smith are different in that they are highly unlikely to be considered for round 1.

I picked the players that hadn't been in rehab don't know if Daw is fit enough. He might get a game in a week or 2 if it was up to me.

Daw is not fit enough due to only coming back into AFL training load two weeks ago, and will take him a few weeks before he is deemed match fit.

Farmer and Smith are highly likely chance to be playing tomorrow. 

 

The AFL should step in to make sure all these practice games are televised and played at a decent time. 9.30 on Friday is such a stupid time.

I didn't realise Oliver had been in rehab.


i wonder whether we'll go close to full-strength to get game plan as bedded in as possible or give younger / less experienced players opportunities

for instance, we know that may and lever are our best tall defenders - do they give way to give petty first opportunity vs tomlinson?

same is true for salem; why pick him to look at as 7th def when we know that that's his role; are we better off giving options to others to press their claims?

same goes for langdon - i'd rather see a 'wing off' between baker and rosman, for instance, to see who can claim first opportunity

unsure whether oliver and trac have to play as starting mids as our other next tier inside mids - viney and brayshaw - aren't fit enough to play; perhaps it creates a first look opportunity for sparrow and / or jordon

the big exception for me is around forward planning; we need to see how plugger mac, jackson, and fritsch work together as that's what we're going to have for the first 6 or so rounds of the season before brown is, possibly / hopefully, fit again

this of course means that gawn MUST play as we need to see that forward structure in place rather than necessarily having jackson (or bradtke?) take the ruck lead against nankervis, if he is playing, or coleman-jones

i think clubs are running 8-man benches for these games?

B: Lockhart - Petty - J Smith
HB: Hunt - Tomlinson - Rivers
C : Baker - Petracca - Rosman
HF: vandenBerg - McDonald - Spargo
F: Fritsch - Jackson - Farmer
Foll: Gawn - Sparrow - Harmes
I/c: Bedford - Bowey - Laurie - Jordon - Nietschke - M Brown - Bradtke - D Smith

WWSW, I think at this stage we need to pick the best 22 in search of that mythical unicorn - cohesion.

The wording is interesting “premium” members. Does that mean not all members get sent the link and password to watch it? Not a great look of true. 

I think 'premium, members-only content' is the intended meaning when translated from Twitterish.

NT 8:00am sharp. Early birds only ?!

Anyone planning on taking a screen recording of the game? From memory, last year’s practice match wasn’t available for later viewing.

I guess that is the best of the uninjured but I find it hard to see that lot beating Richmond if they are half serious.

Not to mention Europe. 11.30 p.m. start here, might get the first quarter in.

VB tins. 
 

It is a ‘practice’ game after all - even for supporters of this club.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
