Tmac and hibberd in

Hunt and Jordan out with Jordan being moved to sub and Vanders going back to VFL.

 

Vanders did my head in last night. Fine line between tough and stupid. Give Hunt the week off if needed and same for T Mac. Rest of the team have a score to settle with The Crows.

Vanders back to sub. Jordon retains spot. 

Yep. No brainer.

Vanders was well and truly on the wrong side of the line last night. 

 

Did I detect in the presser that Goody is thinking about Weeds for next week in his comments about Tom?  Or am I way off track.

It would be wise to make sure Tom is fully for for finals and Weeds would be better for the run if needed in the finals.  There may be a lot of discussion at the table about who needs a rest and who needs a run.


I would bring Hibberd in to replace Hunt. I would not bring TMAC in as even if declard fit he needs another week off.  They could rest a couple of players this week as well.

Hibberd for Hunt

JJ stays in

Would have to think about if Salem needs a rest but they didn't do it this week and it's now getting really close to worrying about continuity and game time if he plays once in 3 weeks.

Melksham? He kicked 2 and tagged McGovern and played very well. No way he gets dropped

Despite his defensive limitations Melksham really does fart through silk. 

8 possesions (6 contested, 3 kicks, 5 handballs) 

2 marks  

3 frees againsts (0 for) 

2 goals (one quite difficult) 

79 SC points 

Few players can impact the result of a game so greatly with so few handles of aggot 

Don’t like to admit it because he is so frustrating but we are a better team with Melksham than without. Not sure where he fits if everyone is fit but think we have to play him now.

Will get trickier with Jack back.

Agree. Vanders, Jordon, Sparrow and Melksham are the only players in the team whose positions are unstable IMO. Everyone else you could pretty much lock in for the rest of the year.

Haven’t been a great fan but Melk showed his value last night several times. 
Agree - sadly VDB looks spent. 
Sparrow and Jordan have plenty of upside.  
Frittata looking shaky to me but does have some credits still in the bank.

Jack will take JJs spot and rotate through the forward line. This may even result in a little more time with Trac I50. 

Presents risk and reward...

I got the vibe he might consider not bringing another tall

Because this week he was excellent and last week he was awful?

Last week =  24 disposals, 8 tackles, 3 behinds, 5 score involvements, 4 turnovers @ 63% efficiency.

This week = 25 disposals, 4 tackles, 1 goal 1 , 5 score involvements, 4 turnovers @ 68% efficiency

Hmmmmm

I know the numbers align but his decision making was far better against the Eagles. He played like a smart [censored] against the GCS.

I get the vibe they will take no risks with Tmac next week at all. Too important from round 23 on.

Salo definitely looks hurt. No way he is moving with the freedom he had earlier in the year.

Speculation only but I reckon it's the groins.

The very small steps he takes when running might indicate  this. Still covers the ground well.

Agree with this. Coaches seem to really rate him tho'.

I don't think a blanket statement like this is accurate. 

I think we can be a better team with Melksham in it, when he's on song.

But when he doesn't commit defensively, and particularly when Fritsch is also off, we're a worse side, and for large portions of 2019-21 Melksham's defensive work hasn't been good enough.

(Presumably this was re AVDB) - not sure they will  rate him as highly after Monday night though.

Is he any good? Have to say I have never heard of him. But I avoid anything to do with the AFC . The team I dislike the most.

Don’t get too caught up in the basic numbers. His turnovers the week before were quite damaging

I agree with the lot that Hibberd should come in. McDonald has to come in if fit. Hunt out injured and Sparrow omitted. vandenBerg omitted from the sub and Jones to replace him as the sub.

What's wrong with this. Jones, McDonald and Hibberd in for me to.

I can’t see TMac being ready this week. Best to give his back longer to settle. Great opportunity for the Weed. Would prefer Lockhart to The Pig - much more run and flare.

  • 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.
