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.

I do like Melksham as a down hill skier, he has a level of polish in swift ball movements that isn't replicated by many. 2018 Finals, his Hawthorn goal off 2 steps and the kick to release Hannan. Those efforts are priceless.

But given the increasing strength around him, good to see him forced out on form

Speaking of downhill skiers... it snowed today people!!! ⛷⛷⛷

    Wow, Melky out, playing a role but not quite enough impact, though I thought he was improving over the weeks. Could be the med sub.

    Great for Chandler to get a chance, would like to see him hit the scoreboard early and get the confidence going.

    Jackson out will cause a disruption, hope we can adjust. I assume Gawn will take the majority of the game on the ball.

    C'mon Dees get the clearances, hold our marks, have crumbers and kick goals with greater accuracy.

    Go Dees!

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

    Will depend on his whole game rather than stats - if he gets double teamed all day and finishes with 4 touches but allows Brown/Tmac/Fritta get off the chain he'll hold his place!

    Nothing to fear from Carlton's changes:

    Out: Jack Newnes, Michael Gibbons, Jack Silvagni

    In: Marc Murphy, Will Setterfield, Nic Newman. 

    Cripps will probably put in a blinder as he did a few weeks back when the media put the blowtorch on him.  Harmes to take care of him.  May will take care of McKay, if the ball even gets down there.  A dark horse is their ruckman, Pittonet.  Last year he really lifted and was the reason they got back into the game and nearly won.  Max needs to be on the ball and dominate.  Hibberd to keep Eddie quiet.

    There will be a day when we lose but I don't think it will be tomorrow.

    Was incredible, an awesome response to one of Gawn's all time most dominant quarters.

    Always think Melky is good for a goal or two or at least a few goal assists with the penetration in his kicking. But fair enough, I like Chandler and it looks a better balanced forward line with this change. 

    On a side note - refreshing and good to to see the team named how it lines up on the day. Why play games. Must have been Choco’s idea.

    I’m hoping that Melk being dropped might quieten those who seem convinced Goodwin favours his selection. TBH - I’ve defended the selection of Melksham but mainly in terms of not being our worst and that Goody is not Gody at selection. I neither love or hate him.

    What it does suggest to me is that one of his attributes - being an occasional marking target in F50 - is not needed with Weid in the team. Dees more than ever need genuine crumbers at the feet of BB and SW, which Chandler will provide. 
     

    I like this decision as one of the concerns with Jackson out is we lose a tall who is a genuine gun below his knees. Chandler balances this a bit.

    I’m excited for tomorrow, wish I could be at the game.

     

    go Dees!!!

    Agreed. Jack Silvagni usually plays well against us as well so glad he's out. 

    interesting selections, i don't rate Newnes, but he is a better chance of being able to go with Langdon than Setterfield.

    And the thuggish Petrevki-Seaton isn't playing so expecting a 'bruise-free' Carlton. He, he. :cool:

    Would Weed offer more or less to the team than Melksham at the moment?  

    Would rather see Chandler get a run at it for Melk vs Weid ...mostly for team balance up forward and see how he goes in general, especially with pressure inside 50.

    I like this team. 
     

    TMac to have a lot more movement up the ground and to be fill in ruck.

    With Chandler in the team I can see Spargo playing a bit more expended role a little further up the ground as I believe Chandler is a natural closer to goal. The other option is to have Pickett play in middle a little more.

    Love the inclusion of serial bridesmaid Chandler, regardless of it coming at the expense of Demonland enemy number one.

    Big Chandler fan. Hope he smashes some tackles, has quick hands, snags a couple and keeps his spot.

    Agree. He has shown enough at Casey for his chance. 
     

    Jake might have had a tough week with the newborn coming home.  Might be a chance for him to get 2 hours sleep on the bench. ??

    • 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.
