Hunt and Joel Smith in the same baseline looks way too shaky for me.


Harmes named on the HBF … discuss!

 

They have gone for the extra midfielder I don't really like it. It means Brayshaw plays down back. I wasn't overly impressed with him down back last week.

I think Dunstan will be sub.

Casey possible team

B: Woewodin, Turner, D.Smith

HB: Baker, Tomlinson, McVee

C: Rosman, Dunstan, Howes

HF: Melksham, van Rooyen, Chandler

F: Moniz-Wakefield, Weideman, M.Brown

FOLL: Daw, Laurie, Bedford

IC: White, Zaharakis, Buntine, Lonie

EMERG: Reid, Munro, Grey  

I questioned the selectors many times last year and they proved me wrong everytime (2019/2020 a different story ). I'll back them in.


I suspect Tomlinson is out because they don't think his knee is ready for a full on 120 minutes of football.  As it is, he has made an amazing comeback from an ACL in 8 months whereas it is usually 10-12 months.

Edit: @Roost it farhas correctly posted it is 10 months since he did his ACL. 

Suspect they don't want to take any chances with it.

Would have had Tomlinson over Smith but the brains trust got it right all through last year so i'll back them in regards Smith

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

so after all that hunter has been picked

Maybe a deliberate leak, mind games and all that.  If so it means nought to Goodwin and co.  They run their own race.

The coaching squad have a great deal of faith in Joel Smith, hope he justifies it and proves so many of us doubters wrong 

And prove some of us right


Dogs aren't exactly flush for key forwards. May takes Naughton, Smith takes Schache and Lever takes Hannan. Martin isn't a factor up forward, so if English plays deep, Max will push back.

Tomlinson is only 8 months from his ACL. This will be a white hot game. I can understand why he hasn't been selected.

If they can just play there roles and don’t try be a star I don’t think we loose much, certainly not with dogs smaller fwd line. The question is can they limit them self to doing that

Tomlinson is now 10 months from his ACL. Doesn’t matter, we’ll unfurl the flag, have a beer or 2 and watch our boys head back to the top of the ladder…….. Go Dees, looking forward to losing my voice

He wasn’t exactly ‘managed’ for TOG in the practice games and got a fair bit of it too. 
Still two weeks away from VFL commencing.

Eeeekkk Smith, Hunt and Harmes (assuming he goes anywhere near the backline) is not ideal to say the least. Tomo is very stiff, you would assume the old “you need to get some match fitness” routine. 
I’m a lot less confident but it’ll be amazing to see how Lever and May can drag those guys and the team close to a win or over the line. 
 

Can’t wait to see how both sides have set up this season and attack this match.

But we don't know how he pulled up from that much game time.

I have never actually expressed my scepticism here, fact is the brains trust know more than me and have the runs on the board.

 

I loved his dad as a player and desperately want to see Joel succeed, but can’t say I have the confidence that the coaches have in him

Hnmm Not all that happy with his omission, he has done everything right at training and in games practice!! Totally Mystifying!!

Harmes on  a HBF?????? Seriously give me a break!

Edited by picket fence

 

I too am not thrilled with that backline but you need to work with what you have.
I don’t think Harmes being named half back means anything. Hunt is named on the bench and he will simply play at half back while Harmes plays half forward and mid. Gus will stay on the wing hopefully. He only goes back in case of emergency like when we had no Salem either. 
I don’t mind us naming an extra mid. We know this is the strength of the Dogs and we might have specific roles for JJ or Harmes anyway. 

Who do we think will be the sub?

  • 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.

    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.
