Is this the most hyped match sim that Melbourne has ever played?

Dunno but I’m nervous as all [censored]!!

 

Update 10

  • Woowee def outside the cyclone fence checking out training as well. 

Interesting. So I wonder if Smith will be the sub...

 May looked quite comfortable with that kick.

I don’t think him not playing in the match simulation is a worry. You wouldn’t risk him at all. It’s not like he needs the practice anyway. He can defend pretty well.

Gamble. I’d go hunt or hibberd and then shuffle

It makes sense if they aren’t confident in May. But on the other hand Smith is coming off a hammy too. Can’t see it happening. You would play someone in the sub role who can play mid if we needed. I still think Hunt is the best sub option.

Because he's not playing? I think he is just still going through rehab

Update 11

  • Match sim finished. Only about 25 mins.
  • Doing kick to kick and hand pass drills now.

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.

Goody said in his press conference this morning that May would not be taking part in the match sim. He also said that with his rehab schedule planned for the week, he is certain to play in the GF

Update 12

  • Training been going for just over an hour.
  • Woowee recons no changes.
  • May and Smith continuing to do 50 metre run-throughs at around 50 percent with a short break in between.

I think he has to be with May’s suspect hammy. 
 

Did he have any scans done? I’m sure if they were clear we’d have heard by now.

Been sweating today about injuries in a scratchy today 

Hopefully all good with all the boys then for next week

This what [censored] me off the most with Ports effort in the PF, Bont wasn’t even tested. 

Update 13

  • Another match sim commencing.
  • Kossi goal. 35 out 55 degree angle
  • Max in forward line, Jackson in ruck against Majak.

Wow. If true I find that extremely strange. Even just as a precaution you get a scan dont you? If he breaks down 10 mins into Q1 Im sure decision will be heavily scrutinised.

No, I was going by those in red tops. Hunt, Melksham and Jordon. May mean little of course.

Nope, no scans done as far as I'm aware.

It's a risk playing Smith as the medi sub off a hamstring injury. His body is unreliable.

He obviously no longer has any pain in the hamstring and it was just a back related issue, hence no scans. I really back our fitness and medical staff, they’ve done a superb job all year.

Spargo injured?

Huh? What? Why? How?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
