Chook your dreaming !T MAc was sacked from the backline for very good reasons

My recollection was the TMac wasn’t sacked as a defender, he was moved forward because we lacked tall options and showed he could actually hold the role quite well. 

 

Mark my words Hicky has given Gawn a bath multiple times before and will next week. It’s going to get ugly

T Mac moving down back changed the game amongst other things. Keep him back. 
 

out - Viney Tomlinson Melksham 

in - Jones Weideman Sparrow

One bad half and they are up and about...

Hopefully a win next week and they can scatter back into the woodpile...

must be like Jackson who i said is a good 0layer but simply not a natural forward. people were saying he is close to kicking a bag etc. surely people can see im right now?  most of his goals have been from ground balls so far.

Everyone loves you Doc. We all see you are right. Well done!


Melksham won't be dropped. 

Out: Tomlinson, Baker

In: Weid, Harmes/Sparrow

Not that Baker played horribly he just wasn't the right type to cover the Viney loss. 

Tmac looked great back so hopefully he can slot in there.

Haha yep. The crazies are in waiting.

You play one bad game and win by 5 goals to go top of the ladder and all the crazies are out of their boxes yelling at the sky.

Can I bring up that Kozzie Pickett thread from last year?

Got that ready to go if you're not wanting to be embarrassed once again.

On Viney, he had a hot spot on a big toe.

Possibly not as bad as a hot spot in his troublesome foot area. 

Out:

Fritta, good chance he is suspended. Heavy hits to the head need to be stamped out, even if unintentional. His eyes did look at the opponent. Will be missed, as he is the forward most likely at the moment. 

Tomlinson

Baker, good depth player. Needs a bit more, team first stuff, and to fix up his lobed/slow kicks.

In:

Weids, big boots to fill with Fritta possibly out. Hoping he and BBB click.

Sparrow, need the big body, in, under and around to replace Viney's efforts.

Petty, knows the backline system better than Tmac.

Jones to be the medical sub again. Knows what is needed when/if, he comes on.

 

Edited by kev martin

Whoever we bring in to replace Tomlinson, we are going to miss the flexibility he gave us by basically never coming off. Prior to today he averaged 98% time on ground. Ed Langon as a comparison is 93%.

Leans me towards wanting to try Tmac (90%) down back so as to not disrupt rotations through the rest of the team too much. 

Petty as an FYI is at around the 75% mark

It's ok 'o'...then Jackson will give Hickey a bath.

Jackson was key to our resurgence in the 2nd half, we're not a one trick pony.

The Kozzie Pickett one I started saying we should draft him before most of DL even knew who he was? Here is the link ->

Drop Jones?? I thought when going was tough he was one that showed composure and held things together. He stays for mine!

Fritta will get a week. The media witch hunt has already begun. Unlike the accidental elbow Hawkins delivered, which was universally excused. 

That David King is a mofo. " Fritsch he has to go you, can't raise your elbow and make deliberate contact to the head".

What a [censored] peanut.

I will have a go...

Tmac back 

Yep agree but even another possibility, one of either Bowey, Bedford might also get a gig

You'd suspect Sparrow would have come in for Viney if his injury was known Thursday. The most like for like IMO. 

So out Baker, in Sparrow. Toughness is a must given the swans mids. 

Out Tomlinson, in Petty. It's his time. 

TMac was only one wayward kick away out of defence today for the sentiment to be entirely different haha.

Is Viney out for an extended period? 

At least two to three weeks according to the club via the Fox commentary today.

I suspect we'll have to manage his loads for the rest of the year.

That helps in terms of a possible punishment.

Do you think it was a reportable incident?

No way. The North player was falling into Fritta and led with his head. If he was upright then the fend off was at chest height. I reckon he has nothing to answer for.

Yep, but you can swing your elbow back in an unnatural action when being tackled and hit a 6 foot 6 bloke and brake his eye socket

Am I the only one that thought Baker was ok today.  I'd give him a block of 3 or 4 games.

    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.

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.

    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.
