Pretty much as expected for a ‘squad’. 
Presumably, all those named will travel to Perth.

    That squad is just about a strong as you are going to get week to week in the H&A season. Salem to come back in to the back 50 team when fit and in form and that is about the only thing we need to top up this team.

    Harmes, Jackson, Jordon and Pickett on the IC.

    Presumably Bedford out so he can actually play a match, albeit in the VFL. Otherwise, presumably no change and Chandler and Mitch Brown being rewarded for decent performances in the VFL and being take across as insurance. Interesting that Daw isn't an emergency, either Max is a certainty or Daw is injured (though not listed anywhere).

    No change,   but I would love for milkshake to get to 200 games

    Tomlinson on the extended bench presumably as cover for Lever who some observers last week thought was suffering from something more severe than a corky.

    The VFL has a bye next week, so giving Bedford a game at Casey makes sense. 

    Something I do not understand with the fixtures AFL/VFL.

    This week we play on Sunday over in the West and Casey plays the same day against North in Melbourne. we will need to take 4 players over as emergency reserves so they will not be able to get a run at Casey.

    Next week we play North in the AFL and both Casey and North VFL teams have a bye... am I missing something?

    The emergencies that travel across to Perth will therefore miss two week of matches.

    Please tell me that somewhere this makes sense. Have I read it wrong?

    Seems like the timing of the Casey game and the following bye is a factor for players like Bedford, Weideman and Laurie with the aim to get a full game in prior to the bye. Hopefully Weideman puts his best foot forward without Brown in the team to keep pressure on McDonald. 

    As pointed out, the emergencies in this game are likely to miss two weeks of footy unless they get elevated to the seniors.

    Good call giving Weed some game continuity

    WC team is not as bad as people are saying - around 14 first 22 players are there.

    West Coast ins and outs are confusing. Who are these people?

    Their spine of Barrass, McGovern, Kelly, Darling, Kennedy is impressive on paper. They're not missing many from their best 22. NicNat, Yeo, Shuey, Rioli, Allen and Cripps are the only ones that come to mind.

    As Goody says, you need to respect the opposition. It wasn't long ago that opposition supporters would have been mocking our line-up.

    Finally Bedford gets dropped. Sick of this guy getting 0 touches a game week after week without consequences.

    I feel sorry for Declan Mountford, whoever that is. Imagine getting dropped from West Coast right now.

    The way the Eagles have played they haven’t earned much respect this season: we really should be flogging this very weak looking line up

    Agree.

    Tomlinson a late in for lever, Melks the sub.  Not sure why Mitch Brown is in the squad.

    On paper West Coast still have some really good players. I know they are all mostly past it, but gees they shouldn’t be so bad.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
