Melbourne v GWS Giants at the MCG, 7.25pm AEST

MELBOURNE

In: H.Petty
Out: A.Tomlinson (omitted), T.Bedford (Medi-Sub)

Last week's sub: T.Bedford (unused)

GWS GIANTS

In: N.Haynes, M.Flynn, F.Callaghan
Out: J.Peatling (omitted), X.O'Halloran (omitted), J.Riccardi (omitted), B.Preuss (suspension)

Last week's sub: A.Kennedy (unused)

 

I rate Petty well ahead of Tommo, but I’m surprised to see the change made so soon.  No doubt our MC know what they are doing.

Same applies to the Tracc ‘niggle’ that has been widely reported in the media, and on here.  Go Dees!

 

Great to have Harry back in the team. I think its better he has a game under his belt before taking on the Tiges

Tom Petty!!

great to have him back.  Tommo has been ok but its clear Petty offers a lot more.


Smith unlucky. If he hadn't lost his place due to Covid protocols, you'd expect that he'd still there. Now fighting to get back in against Hunt, with Hibberd looking over his shoulder.

Petty must have trained the house down.

Great to have him back - a key player for us.

Petty looked good at Casey last week and played a fair chunk of game time. He is clearly best 22 and you get best 22 in as soon as they have the run in their legs which they must think he has. This is no disrespect to Tomo who has been serviceable in Pettys absence. 

 

Petty back in is good. Now we just need Salem and i will be able to rest easier at night.

Agree it is harsh on Smith.  But is he really in competition for a spot with Hunt?  not sure

Pleased to see Harry Petty back in the Demons side.

Adam Tomlinson was probably a bit unlucky to be dropped in my honest opinion.

Nevertheless, it is good to see that the match committee are not underestimating the Giants who beat us at the MCG last year.

We definitely cannot think it will simply be a cake-walk against the Giants.

Really looking forward to the May/Hogan clash. How many games has he played against us since leaving?

Nasher you were right. I gave this battle up mid-late last year, but tonight it's official 

Petty > Tomlinson

I rate Tomo but Petty is a star, had to fit him in now he’s fit

Not just a star, but knows how to play to the back-line system better than Thomo.

(Could be wrong, Thomo comes across as knowing what's what.)

Great to have another premiership defender back in the team and a fantastic player too.

And please, no more small forwards as subs. 

Didn't see that move coming this week.. Petty v Tomlinson

On the sub .... Smith is the perfect sub. He can cover the big man down issue

On Petty.. he strikes me as an agressive backman willing to take the play on. Tomlinson on the other is an excellent defensive backman but lacks that play on thrust.

Just watching the Essendon replay and Smith definitely showing glimpses

Medi Sub either Dunstan or Smith, might just prefer Dunstan!

Who is the ruck for GWS?

Hopefully we dominate the clearances

Flynn, he's solid enough but Nankervis went to town on him a couple of weeks ago

Who would he have stayed in instead of with petty and lever now back. Think once those 2 were back him and Tomlinson were both out regardless.

 

The 'Wilbury' returns!

Gee our defensive depth is something to behold. All of Tomlinson, Smith and Petty could present a case as to why they deserve to be the third tall behind May and Lever.

We actually bid on Flynn in the draft (way back in the Oliver/Weid draft in 2015) but GWS matched our bid. We then picked Mitch King.

  • 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.
