I'm with you Mono. No change. Give Jacko an extra week to fully recover from his finger injury and he will be cherry right for Dogs, Lions and Pies then gets another rest. Let the Weid and BB have another game together and Chandler to stay also and hopefully show us what's he got against Crows. Then we have massive decisions for Dogs game.

Yep. I don't doubt Burgo, but agree we're in a good position and no need to rush people back especially when there's a little buffer in the ladder and plenty of games to go.

Ben Brown Out. Jackson In. Give Chandler 1 more week to show what he can do. 

Weideman looked more likely to take a grab than Brown last week and also offers more when it hits the deck. Whilst it shouldn't dictate selection - I'm concerned that dropping Weideman after one game plays into the hands of other clubs that will be trying to convince him to switch clubs at year-end.    

You must have watched a different game to me RG.  I thought both were pretty ordinary in this regard with BB just a smidgen ahead.  Barely though.

    I must say I was tempted to play 3 talls. That is all of BB, Jacko and sw. But I got to thinking we want marks inside 50 and in Tmac and Fritz we do fine with Jackson and BB essentially (for now) supplements.

    The other reason apart from offence we win, is that our forwards are our first line of defence trapping the ball where we can score.

    For those reasons - not needing additional marking power and needing to sustain our defensive forward energies we can’t have 3 talls.

    I prefer BB to SW - his hands are better- both are light on for defensive acts.

    therefore

    jacko for weid 

    Chandler to stay given a chance to show his Defensive forward metal

    Jackson in for Ben Brown

    I think Jackson, Weed and T Mac could be an excellent mix up forward.  we cannot play all 4 imo

    Given he regularly played on the wing when he dominated in 2018 and spent the entire pre season training for that role i'd probably look at knowing what i'm talking about before getting too sarcastic ?

    Yea Tmac has been awesome up forward. Why wouldnt he be awesome on the wing and allowing Gus to do what he does better. And so it allows for bb and sw to play. Just because its different doesnt mean its a bad idea. Surely if allows both sw and bb a rlle it has some merit.

    Why upset the wing  (Angus) now just to move our best big forward out of the forward line 

    How illogical to switch deck chairs when it's not necessary !

    I dont think of Tmac as our best forward. I see him as a great utility player. How do we know bbb or sw wont be as good? 

    And having him on the wing can allow all three quality players to be present. 

    Agreed its been working the way it is but it may just work better.

    The wing (Angus wing ) is not broke so don't try and fix it. 

    Choofta is more mobile than Brenny and Jacko is a best 22 player.

    It’s difficult but I feel Sam offers more than Ben and we need to give him a couple of games to get a better look.

    Brenny Brown has had three games not and has been ok with doing anything special.

    With TMac  in such good form he sort of plays that big forward role and there fire brings a better balance.

    bloody hard call though, especially when you entice a guy over from another club and pay him , most likely more than TMac and Choof put together 

    Dogga in for Brenny Brown or Chandler

      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.
