    Three defenders out is not ideal. We saw vs Carlton what the impact is of an unsettled backline, particularly when compared to last year's stable back seven.

    You would expect Tomlinson, Smith and Hunt to be the replacements for Petty, Hibberd and Rivers; all three selections make sense. I am not a fan of Smith and Hunt being in the same backline though, adds too much unpredictability. At least they all got a run last week so they're not coming in from the cold.

     

    I want Hunt over Smith.  Especially seeing Jayden and Langers on the side same and carving up the Doggies on that wing with overlap running they seemed to do a lot last year.

    Jordan in for mine also.

    I don't think anyone should be surprised if we lose.

    How much of Demonland goes on about drinking bathwater, particularly after we lost to Carlton?

    We're coming up against arguably the best side in it other than us (if not the best side in it full stop), it's a new season in which 2021 doesn't stand for too much, and we'll be missing at least two best 22 players from our backline.

    We can be disappointed with a loss, but no one should be surprised if we drop a game to a fellow 2022 flag contender.

    We'll stomp all over them. Dogs by 53.

    I would say Max is more on the money with Tomlinson over Smith. Both played the entire pre season but you'd imagine they'd go with Tomlinson who has had more runs on the board and is probably more dependable than Smith.

    Hunt would need to dramatically improve his performance from the Carlton game if he's selected. However we need a medium sized defender to replace Rivers.

    Jordon would have to be some sort of chance given he's always the 22nd/23rd player in the mix?

    I'd agree with both of those ins and both blokes. They would be both super keen to cement a spot after last year.

    I reckon Tomlinson is going to be as bigger beast as Viney.

    So good to have this depth and hunger for spots.

    3 premiership defenders out sounds bad but I'm not worried.

    Barring injury Tomlinson and Smith could easily have been selected in the GF.  Hunt too lost his spot to injury if memory serves.

    Lever, May and Salem will keep the ship steady, especially against an average attack

    If Jordon is one of your three ins (i.e. with Tomlinson and Hunt), who are you putting in the back seven rotation to make up for the three missing defenders? Jordon (not a defender)? Brayshaw (not a defender)?

    In 2021 we refrained from flipping players around the ground other than within games due to injury (e.g. when we had to send Brayshaw back to cover for May going off vs Geelong) or to try to spark us when behind (e.g. Hunt going forward when we were losing to GWS).

    I strongly suspect we're not about to throw Jordon or Brayshaw or another midfielder into defence to cover for Rivers/Hibberd. Instead, I strongly suspect we're going to pick a defender to play that role. Hence, I think both Hunt and Smith will play. Jordon only to play if he takes a midfield/forward spot.

    id have Smith over Hunt. Hunt's a known known

    • 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.
