I think he will request a trade out given lack of game time. 

Yes, either we find a place for him or he'll probably look elsewhere.  That would be a shame.

20 degree maximum, slight chance of a shower, wind speed in afternoon 11 km/hr.

In other words, ideal weather for a full forward,

I really doubt this. I think you'll see a better Harmes when he comes back. Reports are he's the fittest he's ever been and been placed back in the forward half where he is much better playing that role while spending time in the middle.

The guy bleeds red and blue as a long term Melbourne supporter/person. He will bang the door down I think. Not sure if it will come to full fruition but that will be the goal for player and club as an important piece come Sept.

    Reporter "What are you expecting from him when he plays against them"

    Petracca "To kick 10"

    Doesn't surprise me if reports are true that Rivers is out. Put his body on the line time and time again on Saturday night. Hopefully its just soreness and not something more.

    Jetta the clear and obvious replacement. Been playing consistently in VFL playing through the middle as a cut above. How good is depth!

    Really hoping reports of Jones and Melk at Casey this week is true. No more games gifted to senior past proven players. Base it on form and structure.

    Out: Jones, Melk, Rivers

    In: Brown, Jetta, Sparrow

    Sub: Bedford or Bowey (who bother played well last week)

    Without any knowledge, there is a good chance he is a bit banged up - he doesn't shirk a contest, that's for sure

    Weed would be privately miffed after kicking 10 goals in 2 weeks.

    Presumable Melksham or Jones will be dropped for BBB unless there is a mystery injury or resting required.

    He can be miffed but BBs track record is miles better than Weids

    In Brown and Chandler

    Out Jones (managed) and Melksham.

    If Rivers out, bring in Jetta

    Weid and Harmes are going to have to bide their time at Casey - and bang the door down before they get picked.

    A number of posters are saying that we will be too tall having 3 talls in our forward line. Why would this be an issue? We pl;ay 3 talls in the backline, and we still have great defensive pressure. Why can't that logic and performance apply to the forward line?

    If you watch Browns interview he says that Weid is playing VFL tonight

    I don’t think the two things are mutually exclusive. A player can make things difficult for the opposition AND get the ball a bit themselves; ANB and Pickett are doing this.

    Count how many possessions Spargs got from these highlights. I make it 1 kick.

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm happy if he does this all day for 1 kick.

    I think we can play 3 talls if one Jackson is one of them because he can be a forward target, a ruckman, mid. A coaches dream because he can be whatever we want him to be, and he could probably hop on one leg and bark like a dog whilst doing it.

    It could work but you can’t swap a Ben Brown for a Small, it would have to be for a mid size like Melk or Fritsch. Neither typically apply any more pressure fwd than the talls but can create a mismatch like Fritsch did vs cats.

    Think it sounds like there might be a few outs due to soreness 

     

     

    This is very likely MFCSS but we really have to be mindful of not sculling the bath water, we’ve had a great win last week but I want the boys switched on from the outset. The coaches should be pointing to our depth and saying, “if you don’t perform there are guys ready to take your place”. Stay focused Dees.

    I’m glad BBB is playing but I’m also a little sad he’s not debuting at the MCG. Surely Melksham makes way. Weid very unlucky but TMac in such great form.

    Jones and Melk playing VFL and Rivers out according to @Dannyz mail, so there could be more changes to come along with Brown.

    I'd like to see Bedford or Chandler get a guernsey.

    Harmes could not have injured himself at a worse time, he will (should) be pushing [censored] uphill to get back into the side.

    Just to clarify, I was alluding to the fact he was banged up after Saturday night and so may need a rest. 


    It wouldn't surprise me if Jones' 301 game is as the sub, which would mean just one change to the 23.  

    In: Brown

    Out: Chandler

    Aknowledges that the sides been going really well and all he's gunna try and do is "fit in to the structures".

    We got a seasoned, 60+ goal a year key forward just casually and calmy entering the line up. 

    Goddamn, we really are flying right now.

    Was wrong about Jones and Melksham, thought they were dropped.They are not playing at Casey.

    Could a sore/managed player make room for BBB, or will one of Melky or Joness be the medical sub?

    True. Good pick up. 
    Mystery injury of the week or emergency for Sunday?

    • 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.

      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.
