In: Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow, Petty, ANB, Laurie

Out: Smith, Melksham, Chandler

Weideman named on the extended bench; TMac named in the starting 18. Although not sure if that means anything these days.

    Running on the theory that the emergencies will come off the extended bench, you would assume that Jackson, Sparrow, Pickett and ANB will all play.

    That would mean Weideman misses out, along with Dunstan, Bedford and Laurie.

    Yeah, evidently not.

    Good point. Tough to drop on 199.

    Interesting if Weid does go out, tmac went back for one game and played well in the two's gets in on back on covid changes and plays just ok. But Weid who despite flaws in his game has kicked goals and even helped in the ruck last week. Not sure what message that sends

    No he is a far better option than the Weid. The Weid can do one thing reasonably on his good days.

    The starting 18 = definitely in the team rule wasn’t applied two weeks ago when TMac was named on field and then dropped, so I’m officially abandoning my long held belief that that’s how it works.

    That said, I’m still of the belief this means they’ll play TMac and drop Weid. In any case, that’s one role in the team that is obviously far from settled in match committee’s mind. Looking forward to watching it continue to play out.

    I’d say they’re waiting to see on Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow and ANB’s recovery.  If they’re not ready, Weideman and Bedford stay in the 22.  That could see Laurie get a ‘run’ as the sub.

    I think Weid might be a bit stiff to miss after the role he played last week.

    Weid ain't good enough.

    If everyone on that interchange is fit to go then you'd reckon Jackson, ANB and Kossie are certainties.

    If Bedford has earned another go then Sparrow would miss - interesting as usual.

    He played key position forward, and took 1 mark... He desperately needs to bust a game open but we're still waiting

    Interchange should be Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow and ANB. Bedford and weed next in line.

    Has he done much at Casey? Maybe getting named in the squad is a sort of encouragement award!

    Doing well it seems, close to best on last week. Though playing mainly as a forward, so lots of competition for a spot.

    Watching the replay Tom Mac's game was a 5-6 whereas Weid's was 3-4.

    On the body of 2022 form they're lineball. Neither has really shone.

    Weid was performing against a youngster in the ruck last week

    In fairness, he played second ruck.

    Mcdonald and Brown played KPF.  Doesn’t change the fact that he took one mark, but he was thrown into Jackson’s role midweek.

    T Mac deserves to play over Weed based on last week. Plus our 2nd ruck is back

    bedford will be stiff as to miss but I think he will 

    great to see Laurie get rewarded for his good form. Won’t play but hopefully not long til we see him

    Weed should pay me to predict tmac will be selected.

    Coz when I do he isn't.

    I can’t see Laurie being played ahead of Bedford.

    • 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.

      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.
