There are a few players vying for a few spots on the ground. It seems most of our 22 is locked in but, I'll pose a few head to heads just to get some discussion happening on what your ideal 22 looks like:

Hunt vs Hibberd

Tomlinson vs Petty or both (when fully fit)

Mcdonald vs Weideman 

Sparrow vs Jordon vs Dunstan

Don't see them as like for like.

Hibberd will play round 1 based on recent form

If he drops form as the season goes on not sure what will happen.

Last year you would have said Hore was waiting but he's gone.

Of course if you're a Smith fan then perhaps he's the replacement.

I have my rnd 1 team based on the practice game. It's a bit controversial as I don't have Bowey in the 22.

B: J.Smith, May, Lever

HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Hibberd

C: Brayshaw, Petracca, Langdon

HF: Neal-Bullen, McDonald, Pickett

F: Fritsch, B.Brown, Spargo

FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney

IC: Harmes, Jackson, Rivers, Sparrow

SUB: Bowey

Smith Sub, Bowey back pocket and I think you have the rest spot on.

Holy cow! Don’t have a clue who my whipping boy is going to be this year given that team. If i was an opposition supporter I would  poo myself.

You have me questioning my sanity W'dee, I so rarely agree with you. I would have JJ as Sub however, Bowey is no where as flexible as JJ.

backline & midfield depth is off the charts. 

If Weid/JVR step up, and one of the developing wingers, we will have first class depth all over the ground. Which hopefully keeps everyone hungry & fighting hard to keep their spot (or break into the team)

Think u might be spot on. Always thought that Bowy will lose his place when someone bigger with equivalent skills comes along. In the longer term ie later this year, l think Hunt is the ideal replacement.

Bowey for Harmes and Jordan for J. Smith ( who in my book is not up to scratch as an AFL player (yet) )

Swap Bowey for Smith or Jordan and that's about it.

No one executes " equivalent skills" as Bowey has in 7 games.  Throwing him out for an average practice game? 

Smith has made as many mistakes each game as Bowey has in 7 games. 

Can't compare even Hunty as his disposal is nowhere near Bowsers.

Weid again for me Get out the whips!!

I would like to see Smith play early which is not to criticise Bowey or Rivers. 

I just feel we have only scratched the surface  with him and he has a lot to offer the team in terms of intercept marking, run out of the backline and he's a decent kick

Weid would have to play out of his skin against Carlton to have a chance to dislodge TMac for Round 1.

If he does this its a good problem to have.

For the first round I usually go with last years team until they stuff up.

So the premiership side with Tomlinson/Smith for Petty (inj).

Nothing startling there.


Only reason you would drop Bowie,  you're expecting to lose and want him to keep his never played in a losing side record intact.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
