IN: May, Viney, Tmac

OUT: Smith, Sparrow, Melksham

That's the way I see it.

If Dogs beat Port or bad weather, there could be a change though.

    He was peeved off at Spargo for a pretty ordinary kick which should have hit him on the chest.

    Disgraceful brain fade from an ex Captain and leader.

     

    How does Tom Hawkins not even get a fine last week

     

    See below, resulted in concussion. The AFL is so inconsistent. 


    It's interesting that Goodwin specifically mentioned Viney would be back, but May and McDonald would put their hands up for selection. I reckon we might keep our powder dry and see if we can beat them with our current forward set up (so minus McDonald) and potentially keep Smith in.

    I’d agree with you Adam on Smith who I thought was excellent, but Goody wasn’t OTT with his praise for Smith in his post match presser. My take was he was disappointed with Smith cramping up in the 3rd and the lengths they had to go to to get him back out on the ground. I think he’ll be dropped for May.

    I thought Smith found himself constantly out of position. Outside of a few aggressive intercept marks early, I thought he undermined our defensive structure repeatedly. I just think there's a chance we keep May out for the extra week. 

    Rest Petracca, Oliver and lever. We won’t be playing at the mcg for finals anyway.

    Not sure I’d like to see McDonald miss 3 games & then have to go straight into a final ?

    Going off Goody's comments on AFL 360, we'll be playing our best side to win. He was pretty big on momentum heading into finals.

    Did though say that if players were sore then they would be rested.

    Willing to bet Bourke Street to a Brick that the final team will be selected after the Friday game.

    Goodwin was very clear 'sore' players will be rested, but the one's on the field will be playing to win, a nicely mature response.

    BTW Sub text from the interview on 360 is they care more about venue than crowd. And after watching the souless game vs Adelaide there was no problem with team spirit, since we can’t go, I'd prefer to play where we go best and players get to rest at home.

    I agree with Tmac, May and Viney back for Sparrow and Melksham and Smith. But I would also consider Harmes for Jones.

    Also did anyone notice Garry L's driveby on Melks? On the couch they highlighted the kick into the stands, and Garry's sly backhander was 'it was his best kick'.

    Spelling and Melks


    If Melksham had any chance of playing finals he gave it away with that petulant kick into the stands. He doesn’t care enough. 

    it’s a pity coz in the first ten minutes he looked a star. For the rest of the game he was missing

    Hibberd was not fanatastic today but I didn't see anything wrong with his game.

    If TMac is to come in could it be Melksham out or is it Jordon.

    May for Smith and Viney for Sparrow are almost certainties.

    I would like to see Viney play on a forward flank...

    That's Melk, he can turn a game with burst footy but doesn't seem to be there over the full course of a game.

    Melksham on what he dished up yesterday just does not deserve a game. Plus his undisciplined act when he kicked the ball out cannot be tolerated. He goes out

    I was really surprised at his work before the kick came in too. He had ample opportunity to cut back into the centre of the ground which would have made Kossies kick easier. He would probably have had a shot at goal.

    I think JJ is still struggling a bit. He is one player that looks sore and has lost a bit of explosiveness. I haven't looked at his stats for the weekend, the comment is more about his movement.

    Whilst that may be so, a loss potentially consigns us to a trip to Adelaide to play Port, or to Geelong to play Geelong. There will be a crowd in Adelaide and possibly one in Geelong.

    Depends a lot on what happens on Friday night, though. If the Dogs win, we can't drop below 2nd and therefore none of this becomes an issue any more.

    Exactly my thoughts too. The club should dig their heels in ensure all they can to host week 1 at the G (if we finish top 2) rather than listen to Gerard Whately and most other commentators who are infatuated with crowds.

    We finish top 2, we host at MCG as far as I'm concerned.

    I would not risk T Mac until finals if there's any doubt with his back.

    IN - May, Viney

    Out - Smith, Sparrow

    Hibberd's lucky that Hunt's injured

    Melksham's lucky that T Mac might not be risked.

    As a precautionary May should play in a gridiron helmet in case the one on the right gets unlucky again - the crystal ball fired up last night

    Sorry if this has been answered. Are crowds allowed at GMHBA this Saturday?

    • 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.
