Injury scare a great set-up to sub Spargo off for a fresh player in the last quarter if required.

I like your thinking Supermercado, Hunt could slot in if needed🤔

    I mean this was exactly what I was praying wouldn’t happen. All for a strong hit out but really there needed (I would’ve expected) a conversation at the start to say tackles at 50% and not to spin and dump like that. I know Bedford’s trying to put his name in the calculations but F-me May could see in the background it was too much. 

    Fingers crossed for Spargypants, he’s been massive this year.

    If Spargo is injured then hunt seems a logical replacement. But let's be honest Spargo is not a big name but he has been exceptional in his role this year. Will be a big loss.

    Excellent news, we got through the big hit out with no injuries. 

    6 days to go

    should fly by 😬

    It happened in a tackling drill and you probably see a heap of tackles like that during a training session. I wouldn’t expect them to go half-arsed in a tackling drill otherwise what’s the point. 
    Spargo would be a huge loss both offensively and defensively. Pleasing to hear it’s nothing major.

    I did have to chuckle at that (after we were told he was ok). All this commotion about a scratch match and he does it in a regular training drill.

    I’ll put my hand up and say the Spargo bandwagon was standing room only when I jumped on.

    He’s a key ingredient to our forward line now though. He defends like a warrior and his possessions while low in numbers are high in value. The kid rarely wastes it. And I love his reactions to when he scores. It’s almost like “yeah so? It’s my job.”

    He’d be a massive blow if out. Sounds like it’s all good though.

    Spargo adds 3-4 goals a game

    hardly “just a role player”

    Have some respect

    No, not at all. It’s smart. All I meant was he looked fluid and under no duress on that footage. See his kick in game and how much it was hurting him. 

    I want to see footage of Bont turning at pace and not in an arc. I don’t think he can do a sharp turn at the min.

    Should be trying to hit him hard and unbalance him at every opportunity.

    And they're rarely junk time goals either. e.g. last week. Kicked when the heat was on, including set ups.

    Plenty of time for that later in the week. Give him the full week and a half from the PF to recover before potentially testing him out.

    And the lowest game time of the entire doggies list last match.  Understandable in the circumstnaces, but I smell an opportunity.

    Its a tough one, because at first point of contact he drops the ball, as all the dogs do, and you're more likely to be pinged for a lingering tackle than winning a HTB call.

    Alright media we can stop talking about the ‘1 game in 28 days’ crap now. We have officially got this session out of the way and will be ready. Repeat, stop talking about it.

    I agree. Such a non factor. The ironic thing is the dogs won the 1954 GF after 1 game in 28 days. And smashed it as well.

    When the top 4 and 5 were a thing it was the norm to win it after 1 game in 28 days. In 1962 Essendon won after 1 game in 35 days.

    That will be a start but if he is turning, that is the perfect moment to impact with him for Dees' players. Be his shadow and be ready if he turns in any direction. He will often attempt to provide a teammate with 'blindside' protection/screening - that is the best moment.

    Tom McDonald played ok. Interestingly played 10mins down back (maybe a contingency plan if someone gets injured mid game )

    • 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

    • 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.
