B. Brown for Melksham

    Been some carnage around other clubs with injuries. I’m all for some rotations, maybe 2/3 changes . Had Jackson not has his best game of the year he would have been the one I would have listed first.

    Jones, Melksham and Spargo are our clear bottom 3 at present. I think a case can be made for any of those three to go - but only one of them. I’d pick Brown ahead of Weid.

    I’d be really tempted to go no change though. The present mix is working. The risk of breaking it has to be a consideration.

    Blundstone Arena is a hole for football. 

    BBB in for Milkshake.

    Out: Melksham

    In: Brown

     

    We didn’t get a 60 goal a season forward to win games for Casey. It’s time.

    A few sore boys.. I recon Spargo will miss with his shoulder. Kossy might need a rest. He had an ankle issue at one stage but played on.

    Brown has to come in I think. Would probably rest Jones. 

    I'd be surprised with any forced changes after that effort.

    I want Weid and BBB in more than anyone but I just cant them getting game time with T-Mc and Jacko playing the way they are.  It's crazy that they're fit and firing and playing twos.

    We won't be dropping Melksham or Spargo.  They're never going to win a lot of possessions and there pressure looked ok.

    I actually think T Mac may get suspended for a week for his high hit which gave away a free kick. Hopefully just a fine.

    I reckon the coaches will be absolutely loving what Spargo brings to the forward line.

    I've never seen a Dees team put on the forward pressure that this one does and Spargs is a huge part of that.

    I’d have Brown for sure, and a few other changes to refresh them - and also, that will stop anyone thinking that it is an easy game, after tonight, which would be such a Melbourne thing to think.

    Don’t change what ain’t broke, but there may be some soreness or management needed on some of the young fellas or older one(s).

    BBB for probably Melksham unless there are injuries

    Spargo is playing selfless footy. He puts his body on the line in every contest. People have to stop looking at his stat's. Spargs role is not about winning the ball but making sure the ball doesn't leave the contest in the opposition possession. 

    Not a bad situation in having Weids, Ben Brown, Chandler,  Harmes, Daw and Jetta waiting for their chance.

    16 more matches until finals if we make it. There’s still a heap of time to get a big key forward in and try a couple of fresh faces through the midfield and backline. 

    Bowey, Sparrow, Weid, Brown all hungry and all have traits that can make us better but we don’t need to force it.

    I think Melksham should go but agree that we probably won't.

    I'd be surprised if we don't have a sore player or two after today. No point carrying injuries into any game this year.

    If no injuries and a clean bill of health, the only change to consider IMO is bringing in one of Brown or Weid for one of Melksham or Jones.

    OUT Melk

    IN Either Brown or Weid.

    I don't understand people wanting to bring in a key forward for a small or medium player.

    We currently have a pretty good balance, so I certainly wouldn't be bringing a tall in without taking one out.

    I've loved what Bedford is doing in the VFL and would love to see him replace Melksham but Melky seems to be bullet proof so it's an unlikely scenario.

    On a radio interview after the game, Max said that Harmes would be available next week.

    Harmes might have to come back through the VFL.

    We have to find a way to get BBB into the side. The North Hobart oval has some weird winds happening, and North Melbourne play it well. It would seem that next week is a particularly good time to give BBB a game and see how he can fit in.

    I can't nominate anyone to be dropped though!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
