I like it.  No injuries and nobody is bashing the door down!

Everyone has obviously pulled up ok. Hope Rivers is not hobbling in.

You only have to look at the emergencies to see that there is no concern with having to cover that type of player. I guess Weid can come in and TMac can go back as a defender to cover Riv.

Weid is there mainly for a ruck or key forward or back (TMac back/Weed forward) going down.

Bedford will likely be the sub again.

Dunstan covers the mids too.

Melk?


No change.

No surprise.

Why?

Because, Goody rarely makes changes (except injury related ones) to a team coming off a win.

So, if we win this week and lets say Tmac or Spargo have quiet games statistically, can repeat offenders please consider resisting  the urge to suggest they will be dropped. 

It's a bit stiff when you have played 9 games, never lost, had 2 rising star nominations, won a premiership and they start you on the bench.

Surely Mitch Brown replaces Weideman in list of emergencies?? Surely great form needs to be rewarded??

 

While it takes a lot for Goodwin & co to change a winning team, I'm a little surprised there are no changes. 

Petracca, Brayshaw, Rivers and Spargo took some big hits last week.  Rivers was heavily bandaged last week and Petracca was at training on Monday. 

We are coming off a 6 day break from an interstate trip and we play Port next week with an interstate trip on a 6 day break.  (Before anyone complains just be aware that they bookended with 10 and 9 day breaks).

I read in another thread that we had a light training week.  So, wouldn't be surprised if we closely manage playing time especially for those above to preserve them for next week. 

Or could we make a late change?

One thing is for sure if we get a good lead we will shut down the game pretty quickly and defend.  We only need the 4 pts and keep injuries to a minimum

Fair point picket but it seems that Brown has been designated as injury protection only.

Likely played his last game - barring injury.

I understand Brown hasn't been given many games since he's been with us but he's pretty much contributed in the ones he's played. 

And sends out wrong message that potential, beats hands on form!!

Agree loges his effort has been terrific.

I am simply noting, that given the respective efforts of Weid and Brown in the Casey game, and now ....... Weid given the gig as emergency...... seems to send a message

Hunt very lucky to be in  the side.

Potential that's wearing very thin 

I love this from Goodwin and the selection panel. Following the Dees for such a long time, it is really refreshing to see stability, and no big reactions to 1 or 2 bad games by individuals.

A questionable one I would have thought!


No surprises there. Hope some of the quiet ones from last week can play better. Fritta and Brown in particular.

No surprises which is a good thing.

But, Jake Melksham getting named emergency is genuinely taking the [censored] right?

His VFL performance last week was woeful. Absolutely cooked.

I think it was @binman on the podcast who said he was impressed by Melksham in the VFL last week. 

 

Wasn’t Melksham off a HB flank? We are getting into the depth charts in defence. A Covid hit to that line could see the return of Matthew Collins via a time machine from 1998.

I like to ponder the dissonance.

  • 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.
