If Gawn is not 100% he needs to rest. Too important to risk. 
Just play Weideman or Daw.

    Query over Lever and Gawn.

    Depends on how Lever pulled up. Icing on corkie for a few days and see how the bleeding goes. Got full 7 days recovery so should be ok.  

    Might just rest Gawn in any event.  Unleash Jackson v Eagles and put Majak in as backup ruck.  

    I would have thought Weideman would be picked ahead of Majak, should Gawn not play.

    Would love to see Majak get a game for us but agree they'd probably go SW, especially against this current lot of Eagles. 

     

    Out: Lever, Gawn

    In: Tommo and Weid

    Would love to see Bailey Laurie get a couple of games before the season ends. JvR too.

    Majak's rucking at Casey has been first class.

    If Gawn misses Majak in please

    Totally agree.

    Deserves a game in the ones.

    But if history is anything to go by, then no one will be managed or rested.

    Only players with an injury are likely to come out

    I love Weid, but from all accounts Majak deserves a go at Ruck if a Ruckman is required, has some highlights against Nic Nat too.

    I’m sure the boys are looking forward to returning to the scene of last year’s grand final.

    I wonder if we’ll have the majority of the fans at the game.

    Trust West Coast to get a heap of players back this week… and still lose

    Of course Yeo comes back for us. He absolutely hates us, can see it written all over his face when he plays us

    He's checked out this year.

    His attitude in all games this year has been absolutely pox. His a shadow of his former self now and I don't expect him to be back to his best again.

    Gawn and Lever will be rested.

    Weideman and Tomlinson will come in.

    I've always felt like Lever takes a few weeks to find his groove on any return though, whether it is form, pace of the game or "match fitness" I'm not sure.

    So it might depend on whether the coaches this his current slow going is lack of fitness or just needing time to bed down the "match fitness".

    That being said, if he has an actual injury I'm not against a week off resting for anyone the next few weeks; I want to be fully fit for Brisbane late June.

    I may be wrong here but I thought that Goodwin mentioned in his press conference that Lever got and then played with a corked calf?  
    I could be wrong and don’t mind if someone corrects me.

    I'd play conservative with Gawn and Lever especially against West Coast. The sub will be interesting if Bedford is the sub then that could be 2 weeks without any football. I think they will go with a different sub maybe Chandler and do they go 2 emergencies in away games? Then I'd have Melksham and Dunstan as the emergencies.

    No idea why you keep naming Langdon on the members wing.

    Elliot Yeo was due to play this week after being out with concussion.  He has now gone into covid protocol so won't be available.

    Might be a bit hard Werridee for Melk and Dunstan to play 12 noon Sunday for Casey and then get to Perth to be emergencies.

    That is still 332 less than the last 24 hours in Victoria though.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
