Trac was sick, so I doubt he will be an issue. 

We have lost 1 game for the year and we had an off day.  Your forward line comment is ludicrous. 

 

Ludicrous: Idiotic or unthinkable, often to the point of being funny.

Sums up most of this thread really D11.

    We have some very average supporters.   When we had May and Petty on we were 5 goals up.  Both down for the 2nd half and Trac sick and people are jumping up and down like we are 1-10.  Give me strength!!

    Whilst it's not all as simple as this, there's no doubt that there are a lot of over-reactions on here, which I suppose is what happens after 17 straight wins.

    There's also a lack of appreciation for how good Fremantle is. We cannot afford to be that far off our best (as to personnel and as to form) against a side of Fremantle's quality.

    Out: May, Melks, Weid, Dunstan, and likely Petty

    In: Tomilson, Tmac, Langdon, Harmes, and perhaps Salem and Hibberd

    Not sure who covers Petty - we need Tmac forward.  Could Daw fill a spot?

    There's some serious inclusions coming in the next couple of weeks! Just have to get past this week.

    Couldn't do any worse the BB yesterday could he? He's lively and moves well.

    Not looking good.  Injuries are taking a toll across the club - Only 11 melbourne players available for Casey today.   Only D.Smith and Thomlinson had stats that would in any way suggest a promotion.

    Tough next 3 weeks with lots playing sore and until some come back from injuries.  Great the bye is coming up.

    I don't think we will see Petty until after the bye. Hope I am wrong. Harmes won't be ready this week either. Hopefully Langdon and TMAC will be plus also Tomlinson. The who goes out is simple. Melk, Weed, Dunstan, BBB and unfortunately May and Petty. Obviously some of them will remain in side. I would consider Chandler as well.

    If fit TMac, Langdon and Tomlinson in Out - leave that to the coaches.

    It was a shame that  Majak and van Rooyen were ill today and non of the youngsters really stood up.

    If May and Petty are both out, we'll have to break the glass and either play Tom Mac as a permanent KPD, or take a chance on Turner. Neither are ideal solutions, but what can you do?

    I don't think we'll make any more changes down back than that, unless forced. Consistency counts for something. Equally, understand the concerns re Rivers especially.

    Anyone else think Langdon has broken ribs and we won’t see him until after the bye? I’m not trying to be masochistic, I just think it’s odd the club just calls it ‘ribs’. Did I miss info about this somewhere?

    We need Langdon back to his best so it may take a couple of weeks to get him right. I would rather bring Baker in for Melksham as he has a bit of pace and unfortunately Jake is to slow for a winger and we need Spargs in the pressure forward role with Kozzie and ANB. Also Alex take your shots we need our forwards kicking goals not wasting opportunities. You are good enough just do it.!!!!

    I’ve had both and pain level was the same. I played the following week (no idea how) with broken thanks to a flattened out shin guard strapped tightly to my body, but it was awfully uncomfortable. No good for a bloke that runs as much as Langdon.

    Unfortunatly I now have a calcified indented rib section on one side from a deliberate knee.

    Praying he’s back next week…he is crucial.

    One of Brown or Weideman will most likely come out for McDonald pending the fitness of Petty. If Petty misses due to injury, McDonald to play back and Brown and Weideman get a reprieve.

    This will be closest to the pin imo. We havent made wholesale sweeping changes for 18 months. Goodwin has repeatedly said he values continuity and id be shocked if we are dumping 5 or 6 players as some here are suggesting after the first loss in 17 games.  Its just not the Goodwin way.

    But let's assume all of Langdon, McDonald and Harmes are fit. 

    Tomlinson replaces May but those three all come straight back, which would be four changes, all of which we should be 100% making.

    Turner played very well today, particularly in the first half. The pro Frankston commentators were pouring praise on him!

    T-Mac could go back for Petty if Mitch Brown comes in (if Petty is inj).

    Daw was crook and a late out today so very much doubt he will be in the mix.

    • 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.

      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.
