I still think Hunt as medi sub. Also I’m not keen on May vs Naughton with May’s hamstring hanging on by a thread. If he goes down and we don’t have a defender ready to go we are in trouble, as I back the Dogs to win their fair share of very good clearances.

    Hunt as the mdi sub I agree. Sorry Jordy.

    Ph*&k. Thought the premiership was going to be a cake walk. Really MFCSS'd. Be happy to escape with the four points.

    IF May tears his Hammy early on in the game we lose.

    But if Smith isnt available, Id add Majak as an emergency and if May still looks iffy close to the start, Id name Daw sub.

    Hear me out.

    He is actually adaptable to play FB in a pinch but he is better at FF running in a straight line if needed.

     His best position is in the middle. From what I saw at Casey he didn't get beaten in the ruck and was in the best most games. He would beat Steph Martin in the middle as a monster and probably around the ground. I reckon watching Steph tonight, Dogs would prefer him if he was available to them.  This would allow Tom to go back and Max forward more. 

    Prefer him to Hunt or Jordan. We should be able to cover a flanker or, dare I say it, a mid.

    Just a thought.

    Powa got exposed for being the brittle, soft front runners they are.

    Allir Allir goes missing against the best teams and gets exposed big time.

    Will be a cracking GF.

    Should have said, if May's injured, I think it will be Joel Smith (assuming he's fit). There aren't any other reasonable options.

    Hunty ???

    Well you should not have to change the 23 who won a prelim by 83 points. However do not play even a slightly injured player in a grand final. If May can't get up then Hunt in.

    Tmac down back I reckon and Maxy up forward  more if Maysie can't come up.

    He Will though.

    The only one that played definitively poor was Rivers but he probably has enough credit in the bank.

    Would absolutely love to see Jonesy as Medi sub for the granny. It's not easy sitting for 2 and a half qtrs before coming in, but Jordan seemed a bit off when he came on. Jonesy is next cab off the rank.

    Riv played a good last half. 10 possessions. He's fine.

    Tmac is a forward no longer a back no way he replaces May ,anyway May will be fine.Only change i could see would be Hunt for Hibbo for extra pace down back.But think it will no change

    For me, we need someone to stop Caleb Daniels impact and someone to stop lachie hunter from having an impact

    Just like we seemed to do with Daniel rich

     

    Daniels is the key to the Dogs and a hard tag needs to be applied probably ANB although Outa left field Hunt?

    Did tmac actually go down back or was it more a case of drifted into defence momentarily, as does even BB?  Hard to tell from TV.

    I think they will consider bringing Smith in, especially for a player like Weightman.  Hunt would be the other one in the frame - naming him might give the Dogs some pause for consideration,  Hibbo would be very stiff, but he was dropped after we played them last time.    

    It might be Hibbo and Jordon out for one or both of Smith and Hunt.

    Yes in the last game I was screaming at the TV (as insane as it is)

    “who’s on Daniel. Goodwin wake up. He’s killing us” 

    34 possessions across half back.  Sets up play.  Maybe Sparrow plays as a defensive half forward.

    Any of ANB, Spargo or Fritta will be asked to this. Most likely ANB.

    If Tmac goes back he will slot straight in. He replaced Tomlinson when he did his knee and did very well. He couldn’t get a kick before that move. He’s  a natural defender. I would be tempted to play him on Naughton. He’s not the kind of player that gets out marked easily.

    Spargo to Daniel for mine. ANB is important further up the ground as a link up player with his hard running. Fritta too important as a target and goal scoring option. Spargo doesn’t get many touches, but he does make the most of them around goal. He’s also comfortable moving further up the ground and tackles hard when he gets the chance. Get him to put the clamps on Daniel and then take his opportunities if they arise.

    I suspect that Petty will start on Naughton, even if May plays.

    Majak Daw ... really? 

    Smith on Smith is probably a good match up.

    Viney on Libba.

    Bont ... hmm .... not really possible to tag him, but perhaps Harmes? Or Smith? 

    Think Hunt needs to play, purely for his speed.

    ANB would shut him down easily in my opinion.

    I'm reluctant to go with too many hard tags. We will back in our game head to head, and fair enough, we have as many stars as they do!! No fear. Having said that if we go for a tag, the focuss should be on Libba and Daniel to starve the dogs of outside ball.

    I actually like this. We don't want to lose run in the midfield and he will hold Daniel accountable around goal.

    • 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.
