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: 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.

      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.
