Hopefully nothing too serious for Jack. He's been excellent this year so far.

    Anyone have any idea if Viney is a proper hammy or just tight/precaution?

    Hamstring awareness usually means tightness

    You've genuinely got to be [censored] kidding me right?

    We pick a bloke off the back of not playing last week being an emergency, over guys like Bedford who had the perfect opportunity to play consisten game time at AFL level. Even if it was Bailey Laurie to get a taste of AFL action.

    But no, we select a guy that's going to be 31 this year and we'll past his best at AFL level.

    Genuine [censored] selection and it's been obvious that Goody has been trying desperately hard to get his Essendon mate a game this past few weeks.

    Opportunity missed.

    Take it easy. You do know Melks plays for us, right? Maybe redirect that disdain to players of opposition sides.

    Because he's the obvious replacement & in good form.  Harmes is predominantly a tagging on baller who can kick handy goals.

    Don’t really understand why we’d go with the Melk unless it’s to nurse him to 200

    Me neither

    Mellks isn't anywhere near Harmes output enduance nor defense

    A very poor bewildering selection

    At least if he has a poor day that will be the end for him

    That's pretty unfair.  And its hardly bewildering as his form at Casey has been excellent playing on ball & fwd and he was solid when he filled in against Hawthorn.

    And I doubt they will drop him on 199 games.

    The Melksham inclusion can be justified and equally,  the MC might want to see if Jake can recapture his best form ... so he gets his chance because of injury

    And against North, he'll get every chance to stand out and excel

    If he strikes form, we've got another nice problem 

    For all our speculation, we generally haven't had to leave out a player who is performing well in the seniors.  It nearly always seems to work out well, Franky (mystery ailments, covid, suspensions, long term injuries etc)

    Apart from the GF when Jordon was the sub, Hunt missed out and Jones & Jetta just couldn't break back into the team.  Or Melksham for that matter

    I wish Jake well today and I really hope he stands out

    We’d all like Jake to play a great game it’s just on recent evidence it’s not likely…guess he was OK against the Hawks even though that easy set shot he missed in the last qtr annoyed me

    Missing Salem, Viney & Harmes from best 22. Melksham, Dunstan & Jordon as depth.  Though Jordon had shown he is more than capable and having another good year.

    • 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.
