If McDonald isn't ready the Weed id be happy to see what he's got. Not many more opportunities will be forthcoming. 

 

Does Salem need to be rested?

Is he any good? Have to say I have never heard of him.

I remember a fateful Sunday mid-season asking that of several Crows. 

 

out hunt in hibbo simples, jones gets the vest

If hunt can't make it I'd take Declasse.  He's reasonably quick, doesn't fumble, reasonable kick, can be physical and can take a taller forward.   Adelaide would be a good game to see if he can handle it.  No future in playing same olds.


So Tex, O’Reilly both out, wonder how the rest of the crows are stacking up?

Brodie Smith will also be out with concussion. 

Is it just me or did Kossie look out of sorts? He didn't seem to have much impact when I wathced the replay 

Maybe tiredness?

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. 

Yes and a Texless and no home ferrals crowd Crows at that... 100 piont win will do just nicely!)😇

ROB is a very good player but they are super thin in the ruck after him. Strachan, skinny and 1 game; Thilthorpe first year fwd-ruck. Maxy is putting on the bib tor a feast.


I really hope a few of the players had this match circled on their calendar for a bit of revenge. We let them stay in it but some very questionable decisions gave them the chance as well. 

Hunt out - Hibbo in

AVB out - Jones in

Weid comes in if Tommy is still sore. Give the old warriors a bit of a chance to A: stake their claim and B: should injuries come it gives them valuable match practice.

I"ll answer my own question: yes reckon he has sore groins

With their ruck out is this a situation where we give Gawn or Jackson a rest with Weed coming in. Not Goody's style but it must cross their minds. 

 

Has Hunt been officially ruled out? Or, at least, has the club publicly stated he's unlikely to play? It seems to be a foregone conclusion here, but I've not seen any news from the club that confirms this.

The same Olds who have helped us get to a guaranteed top 4 and currently top of the ladder position. We are just about to start a premiership tilt now isn't the time to experiment with a mid season rookie

Club said yesterday ‘TBC, based on scans’.

Didn’t look too good for this week with him on crutches post-game.

Thanks Ioges, no answers from me but some questions...😉

Ho many 'groins' has Christian been equipped with?

Does 'groins' soreness increase exponentially in line with the number of 'groins' present? 

Could Christian rationalise his 'groins' this late in the season as a means to run out the season in greater comfort?

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
 Mitch Brown  Heel  Test
 Marty Hore  Knee  Season
 Jayden Hunt  Ankle  TBC
 Tom McDonald  Back  Test
 Aaron Nietschke  Knee  Season
 Deakyn Smith  Concussion  Test
 Adam Tomlinson  Knee  Season
 Jack Viney  Suspension  Round 23

Updated: Tuesday, August 10

Early prognosis

The Demons are confident they will regain McDonald for this week's clash with the Crows, while Mitch Brown and Deakyn Smith should make their comebacks through the VFL. Hunt will get scans early this week, with Simon Goodwin saying on Monday night he is "confident with where that sits". - Riley Beveridge

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
 Luke Brown  Achilles  Season
 Matt Crouch  Groin  Season
 Will Hamill  Concussion  1 week
 Jackson Hately  Groin  Season
 Mitch Hinge  Shoulder  Season
 Wayne Milera  Knee  Season
 Luke Pedlar  Ankle  Season
 Brodie Smith  Concussion  1 week
 Daniel Talia  Foot  TBC

 Updated: Tuesday, August 10

Early prognosis

A couple of Crows have been put on ice for the final two rounds, most notably inside midfielder Crouch who experienced groin soreness following his one SANFL match a few weeks back. Hately has been managing a similar problem for most of the season but will now rest, while Pedlar has a badly sprained ankle from Saturday's SANFL Showdown victory over Port Adelaide. - Michael Whiting

 

The Adelaide Injury list doesn't include Reilly O'Brien as reported by the Crows yesterday.

Geez, why are you limiting the win to 100 points, PF? Add another 30-40% and 20 Hail Marys.

Maybe stressed by the Tex Walker incident.

Not officially yet, but why in the world would they risk him? We're guaranteed to finish top 4 it's smart to rest anyone with soreness or injury concerns. At least save them for Geelong who were likely to play first week of finals as well.

I've been thinking about whether we'll see a player or two rested this week.

The concern is that with the bye coming up, and the potential for a week off if we win the first final, anyone who gets rested will be having a very stop-start run (will literally be play, week off, play, week off, play, then week off if we win the first final, before the prelim).

  • 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

  • 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.
