Melksham - current whipping boy.

No. He has been for a couple of years. And I really believe, rightly so.

Its not personal, hes just not one of our good players.

People get frustrated because he still gets gigs. Thats all.

Brayshaw looks way off the pace at the moment.  Slow and tentative.

And he looked totally [censored] off at the end of the game. A good sign.

He gets a gig because he hits targets when he has the ball

Set up at least 3 goals in the 3rd Q

Brayshaw played a different role today because we lost Viney and inexplicably they brought in a winger to replace him. 
Talk about not fixing what isn’t broken and we have 2 guys who could have replaced Viney one for one in Harmes and Sparrow. 
Unless we didn’t know Viney was a possible out, and hence couldn’t play those guys off a short break, I have no idea why you would bring Baker in to replace an inside mid. 
We gotta stop throwing Brayshaw around to fill holes and then wonder why he isn’t getting into the game. He has to settle somewhere.

Saying things like “diluting trade value” is horribly disrespectful. Why should somebody play well for the team you support if that’s all you’re going to reduce their contribution to on an off day?

Sets a pretty high standard does Steven! 25 touches, 14 marks, 550 metres gained!

Yes great stats but did look uncharacteristically fumbly early but that was because our midfield was applying zero pressure up field in the first half, allowing North to bring the ball with ease, straight through the centre corridor, a backman’s nightmare. But when we needed May he delivered I thought, so I gave him votes. 


Not many players had truly great days, but quite frankly, Norff didn’t let us play well. I thought they were great for 70 percent of the game. They could well towel up the Filth next week.

Brayshaw was coming off a couple of great games, playing a great role for the team. Definitely not off the pace.

Agree 'Jaded', we need to let him settle. The wing has been his spot.

Baker is not up to it and my only guess is they wanted to have one last look at him...

And was directly responsible for north goals due to taking the easy option. Zero defensive accountability or hunger. Flies for the hero mark and goes to ground way too easy for mine

Not disputing any of that

But he was a big part of us kicking goals in the 3rd Quarter 

That’s why he us in the side

I don’t disagree with you. Just think the bad outweighs the good at the moment.

It is a tough call. I see Spargo as the guy who play a similar role and plays it way better atm in my opinion

The only good thing he did.

Agreed. Baker needs to fix some areas urgently if he is to make it. Should have stuck the tackle against in goal square which resulted in a goal.  2nd q I think.

Fumbly and not really enough grunt. That last quarter effort was good but almost straight after another tackle didn't stick. Not sure he fits into what we need to be.

We need them both playing well. 
But Melksham is a finisher, that is why Goodwin plays him

He is never going to lay 10 tackles or be at the bottom of packs

He is a very good kick, that includes the long bomb 

Spargo plays a different role

Gawn - uncharacteristically quiet game 

Hibberd - finally got going

May - not his best

Tomlinson - a sad story

Lever - great second half

Salem - cool under pressure 

Rivers - loose but energetic 

Baker - little to commend 

Langdon - kept on giving

Petracca - no votes today

Oliver - better second half

Fritsch - our most important 

McDonald - important in defence

Spargo - great with ball

Pickett - genius at work

Brown - a limited debut

Jackson - enjoyed more responsibility 

Jones - composed when required 

Hunt - was rarely sighted 

Neal-Bullen - had little involvement 

Jordon - calm and tough

Melksham - selfish and limited

Spot on. Agree with each and every one.

  • 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.

  • 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.
