It's hard to argue against the two outs and I'm really happy to see Bowey given a chance, and Sparrow given a game.

Harmes surely on thin ice. Would want to see a massive game from him (tagging Touk Miller, maybe?).

 

Can someone confirm why the best kicker at the club can’t get a game?

Clealry we’re not interested in giving Jackson or Rivers a clearly needed rest.

Good to see Rivers remains in. Wouldn't make sense taking out one of our more composed players.

If you're referring to Melksham, whilst I wasn't against us trying him it's not like he's been in any sort of form of late, and we know how damaging (in a bad way) his lack of defensive pressure can be.

As to Jackson/Rivers, poor form doesn't always mean needs rest. Again, whilst there were arguments about both their spots, were we going to make four changes in one week? 

Pretty good changes, but it would have been great to bring in Weid for Jacko, if for no other reason than to give Jacko a break and try a few things before finals. Harmes has been pretty poor, don't want him doing anything fancy this weekend - tag Touk. That's all.

Give them an extra couple of days off training? Not sure why rests always need to involve missing a game

 

Assume JJ needs a rest. Because he’s been far better and more consistent this season than some of his teammates. 


Would have rested Dogga for the Weid

Looking forward to seeing Bowey play his first senior game

Best of luck young man

Call it an omission then. Jackson could’ve been dropped rather than rested.

Thrilled for Bowie.  From the bits I’ve seen of the VFL he looks like a beauty!

I don’t understand the faith being shown in Harmes.

Fair enough. Thought Melksham could have come in for him personally, but happy to see him hold his spot.

He's debuting :lol:

Not much fanfare for Boweys debut.. 

Hoping there will be a debut announcement video up soon. They're always heart-warming.

I thought Jacko needed a rest but obviously the club and Burgo are managing him. He needs to lift his second efforts and like the Weid, get some grippo to take those marks.  
 

This is a must win.  Lose this and the double chance is in jeopardy.  

Good to see two young blokes coming in to give us some energy.

Jordon has 2 tackles and 3 kicks on the weekend so his form has dropped off which is fair enough for a first year AFL player

Harmes is very lucky

Umpire Nathan Williamson out for this week, replaced by Mathew Nicholls of 'why did you do that?' fame.

Reckon Milkshake will be the sub.

This 18 year old boy with his big grownup moustache! God these players seem to get younger and younger.

 

Go kid! Rip 'em a new one. (Can you play KPF by the way?)


Don't get this, happy for Bowey and Sparrow, but this really doesn't address our forward line issues

LJ should have been managed this week for Melk or Daw.  He hit the wall a few weeks back

I reckon they've decided this is our best fwd line set up and to give it more weeks to gel together.  Weed coming in didn't work, now BB is struggling but I think it's best to stick with it for now.

Salem’s playing

they don't have much up fwd but their young midfield looks full of run and talent

if May/Petty and Lever can handle King then we should be OK

 

ps. Cunnington is stiff being marked as 'managed' this week. Bloke lost a nut!

  • 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

    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.
