I like it. Added some speed and tackling pressure to balance out the additional tall. Melks can't really have any complaints. He's been serviceable but nothing more.

 

How's Bowey (inj?) and Sparrow emergencies?

I like it a lot.  Chandler gets his chance as a small pressure forward.  Needed IMO with the inclusion of Weid in our forward half.

It has been a standard that when picked in the ones you get 3-4 weeks in. Melk couldnt hold his spot but had 4 chances. Weid has now a few chances to show he can hold his spot. But the axe is kept sharp after 4 weeks.

I don't recall anyone saying Melk for Nathan Bock Bock Bock

No more favours, team picked on form.  That’s what the best teams do. Love it!

That's the problem with the reserves playing a day before. Baker obviously held over as emergency and guessing Melksham to be the sub. Could be vice versa though. Probably would've been smart to have Sparrow play half a game so he isn't completely cooked if called upon. Club must be confident they only need one emergency for a late change if required which indicates the selected 22 are healthy and ready to go. 

I suspect tomorrow we will see Bowey replaced on the emergency list by another player at Casey, all formalities as they won't play save for some unforeseen circumstance.

Good to see Melksham held accountable for some average efforts. 

feel more confident about our mix up forward now


Melksham out and Chandler in is a good move. About bloody time.

I thought Melksham had one more chance as we were winning but no good pick on form which is always a good thing hope Chandler and Weid take it with both hands.

Chandler needed for that particular reason - plus his upside is extended to being a tuff nut with attitude and poise.

What do we see as a Weid pass mark? 2 goals, some assists and tackles?

  No, close but not spot on. The pass mark will be:

  • tackles
  • lotsa assists
  • two goals minimum
  • taking defenders out of the hot zone on fruitless picnics to the advantage of his teammates before goal.

I hope the kid can get a few weeks to settle. But we will see when Viney has to fit back in and what they want to do with the Weed.

Melksham was down and like Fritsch - if he can’t find the footy and affect the game - he has to impact defensively and he hasn’t been. I don’t have this hatred toward him tho that some supporters hold.

I just want to see Weid hitting the ball at full steam with a couple of huge pack-crunching contests.

He has the ability and has the form. Now I just hope he strings together a half a season that leads us deep into September

 

If Fritsch and Melk are both down, they are liabilities. Fritsch will want to pull his finger out

Gee wiz if all three talls find form and Fritsch keeps going, it suddenly looks like an incredibly potent forward line. 

Got a feeling with all the focus on the talls Kozzie might be the one to kick a bag this week

  • 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.
