I hope those numbers are temperatures and not cases of Covid in the community in northern NSW

Tee hee. No cases here in months and months. Hopefully Sydneysiders will stay away!

That's what's closed the borders.

Golf/surf should be delightful on the weekend.

Much excitement for Bowey.

    They may prefer to do the right thing by their families. Personally, I wouldn't blame them.

    Is this a joke?

    1 week away from family for 2 must win games, to get a spot in the top 4!  Yes, I am aware of the strain from new-borns, but it’s 1 week, not 6 months.

    the world has become soft!

    It would clearly be more than 1 week given the time between games, traveling, quarantine periods and potential for worse.

    Nothing 'soft' about putting your family ahead of your job.

    Even if 2 weeks, same view. 

    If it was to do with being there for the birth, sure that takes priority. But it’s not. 

    if the team was bottom 4, and not much to play for, then sure.

    Opportunities like this year, don’t come around all that often - who knows it may be the best opportunity both players have for a flag.

    Hopefully the little fella can bring some spark and enthusiasm into the side too.

    There is a spot for the taking, leading into a finals campaign, if he wants it

    Probably , but rivers does play pretty tall at 188cm . We do have good arialists down back though so should be ok in that area


    Just a quick glance at Boweys impressive numbers at VFL level.

    Maybe. But it would leave us a bit light for a lock down defender you'd think. 

    Bowey is a beautiful kick, so i'm loving that aspect of the selection. And at Casey he has been kicking out and playing a a similar role to Salem. But surely they are not moving Salem from HB, so he is not playing that role

    Rivers might be totally gassed - he looks like it. But you'd think they have him in the finals best 22 team. 

    Can't think of one off the top of my head but i wonder if is there a scenario where harmes comes out? 

     

    Bowey would be a better match up for Rankine than Hibbo

    I'm not sure we call Hibberda lockdown defender after the Dogs game tho, and he's been very fumbly below his knees the last month.


    Maybe Salem is still carrying a niggle and they're giving him a week's rest before a solid block of games into the finals?

    Certainly wouldn't be surprised.

    True. 

    But rankin has done sfa lately, so probably doesn't need a lock down opponent.

    And as I understand bowey has not done any lock down defending at Casey and was a mid as a junior.

    Has been playing clearly sore for a while, and apparently has had a very very light week on the track - Which could either mean he won't get up or they're just managing him towards the game.

    Agree on both points.

    He's only really done a lockdown job on powerful medium forwards like papley.

    Is Bowey a confirmed 'in' or are we just relying on the prognostications of Jay Clark? That's not to say Clark is wrong, but before getting too excited I'd like confirmation first.

    I think it's a good idea to get some games into the "next best" after the starting 22. We may need them in September and I would rather have them with some experience of the senior team game rather than coming in cold.

    • 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.

      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.
