Ummmm no chance

 

Richo just said on channel 7 that Langdon went off with concussion. Would have been better off playing with 17 for the last minute.

    Langdon confirmed head knock. 12 days out. Will not play against Brisbane

    agree to disagree ?, would be lucky to make their full strength side imo when dunkley, treloar, vandemeer, mclean, wood are fit

    Yeah agree, JJ is fringe for them right now.

    Of those you've mentioned though I reckon Dunkley, Treloar, Martin and Wood get back but I'm not sure if McLean or Vandermeer are best 22 for them.

    But I admit I may not be very objective.

    Backed the dees over 39 points.

    He shanked a shot to make it 42 points. Then his next two kicks, both of which should have set up scoring shots, were dead set clangers.

    Id still drop him. One tackle. And 10 half jogs and coraaling.

    Four possessions is rubbish.

    Sure 3 goals, but 2 were gifts. And he dropped mutiple marks that he should have swallowed 

    Only the two goals for the Weid.

    I thought his leading and contesting were good, but I agree that he didn't have a great game.

    Who replaces him though? How does Brown, for example, get back in when he had 4 touches and no goals last week and doesn't play VFL this week?

    Very unfortunate.

    Maybe time to bring Bowey in for a run...but I'm not a Baker fan.

    Get Langers right for the 2nd half of the season.

    HUGE loss. 

    Alex Neal Bullen has the running power to play the role, and Tom Sparrow could come in and play as a pressure half forward

    I would not change The Trio.

    Baker can have a run out there.

    Jones in to play the defensive wing tbat Gus has been playing.

    Gus to offensive wing

    Langdon out Goody said. Dam that knock must have happened late in the game. 

    Can Jones come in for him. His experience may help next week or do we just give Sparrow a match. 

    I really wish Viney could come back soon. 

    At half time I would have said get Ben Brown back in but credit to Weiderman. He came into the game and kicked 2 important goals.

    I'm not at all keen on Positive Linger's replacement options - Baker and Jones

    Uggh

    But yeah - Brayshaw to the skinny wing and .....


    Langdon out and Sparrow in. Sub between Baker and Bedford.

    I reckon Jordon might be a good fit for a wing. Can play defensively but also seems to link up on the outside well. Sparrow to come in and play JJ's current role.

    For all you Hunt, Melksham, Gus and Fritta droppers week on week, I would have to say our worst player tonight was Salem. Shall we drop him?

    Salem out, he was awful 

    Anyone in

    Hows that?

    I can see a case for Baker and I wouldn't be too upset if they gave him a go. He's been working closely with Langdon and I think his running and positioning is much better. His contested work is still poor but the only way to improve it is to play him more.

    At this stage though:

    Out: Melksham, Langdon
    In: Sparrow, Jones

    Brayshaw, (80%) Jones (60%) and JJ (60%) share the wing minutes.

    Sparrow plays mid and forward.

    What we lose in Langdon's 2 way run we make up in the extra mid rotation.

    Weid saved his spot late, but he needs to start holding a few soon. Simply has to clunk enough marks to make up for his deficiencies. 

    Hunt is now officially on selection watch, but whilst the backline functions so well and the VFL boys don't get to play I wouldn't change anything.

    • 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.
