I'm not.

I hope he plays exactly the re he has all year. And I suspect he will.

Indeed.

In Gus and Max’s podcast with Harmes, they talked about players all having a second position/role. Guess we might find out today whose second position is “inside mid”.

I suspect Viney will just be covered by half forwards such as Melksham and Kozzy spending more time in the middle.

Melksham and Gus to spend time in the guts you’d think

Really looking forward to see how our forward structure works today.

Mfc has done an extroadinary job in creating one of the best backlines in the comp.

Clubs would score big against us and now we concede very little.

Our midfield seems to be going from strength to strength.

Now lets get our fwd line doing the same.

To be honest its actually being firing quite well. We have been scoring well despite not having a big ff kicking  a bag or two every week.

We have also been quite inaccurate.

Having said all this we have the firepower to kick 100 points plus every week.

Just need to find the right combo.

    Would be interesting to see how Baker does at HFF. See what he is like around goals

    no risks with Viney. Good to see

    Brayshaw should go nowhere now that he's finally found a good spot on the wing. Perhaps we can try it when the game is done and shift McDonald to the wing to see what that looks like, but our best side has Brayshaw on the wing.


    Predicting Fritsch to have 10+ scoring shots today. Whether that equates to 3 or 8 goals is up to him

    Another really good test for Baker - if he is the one to replace Viney (although Chandler might have been handy but played the last match with Casey Thurs night). Baker needs another test or two as his genuine pace gives us a three-pronged, full ground speedway (Hunt, 'Baker', Kozzie/Spargo) that is very handy for spacemakers. Enjoy the game, folks. We have got this one.

    With Ben Brown finally coming in I'm having a happy moment remembering how worried so many people were that our season would be over by now.

    Some people were even getting aggressive at anyone who stayed positive after the loss to the Dogs in the pre-season.

    Keep the run going, Demons - you could actually change personalities!

    Viney... having a good run of form and ... The foot

    Has the curse returned

    nah I'm confident it's nothing serious. He's obviously a late withdrawal due to soreness.  so it can't be too bad. I'm sure he'd play if it was against anyone else.  Using the week to rest him.

    Viney out (Toe) Baker in, Jones sub

    Hopefully not a serious flare-up and Viney's withdrawal is just precautionery

    Can;t see Baker playing anywhere other than wing so reckon Gus plays inside

    Perhaps Brown goes into Melksham's spot and Melksham goes into the middle (at least more often)?


    Whilst late outs are disappointing any sign of  any level of soreness related or near his foot we need to back Viney off. Hopefully that is all it is. Interesting to select Baker over Jones even with the late out. Hopefully we don’t mess with Brayshaw on the wing just as he is getting it. I would prefer to see Pickett rotated through the pivot more with Melksham and have Baker play half forward and relieve as third winger. This is the challenge with Casey playing Thursday and us Sunday that I suspect if both were today Sparrow would have bee named emergency and been played. Instead he had to play Thursday to avoid missing a week without a full game of conditioning.

    • 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.

      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.
