Also tempting to bring the riv back, take sparrow out and slot Gus at HF. We are desperate for classy kicking forward of centre.

McDonald is done for the year

    If TMac is really done for the season then bring in Weid and play him for at least the next 6 games.  He's been better than BBB, and offered more than M.Brown, but time to see if he will really make it and not change him in and out all the time.

    Petty is injured, so is TMac.

    Ins: May, Rivers, Weid

    Outs: Petty ( rest), BB, Hunt

    We May have to look at blooding a couple of the kids.

    M Brown miles better than Weid

    Tommo a better option than Petty in sticky tape

    I said last week that Sparrow had a poor game and wouldn't get dropped but tonight he was as bad as I've see him play.

    I'd drop him personally. 

    Dropping Ben Brown is the easy option but there is no way bringing in Sam Weideman improves us at all. If anything it makes us worse because he's he's not an AFL standard player time and time again.

    I have no idea what the changes will like, but I can easily reel off 5 names I would drop straight away.

    People are either entrenched in their anti-Weid glasses or didn't go to the game if they honestly think Ben Brown should stay in ahead of him after tonight.

    Agreed, Max is undoubtedly the better forward, but unfortunately he is also about three times better than Jackson in the centre. I'd probably play Jackson forward unless Daw is a complete liability in the ruck. We need two Gawns.

    Brown has about 100 good games up on Weideman. Even when out of form Brown still takes away the best defender. He is that much better than Weideman ever has or ever will be. 
    Having said that, Mitch Brown is a bad bandaid and we need to bring Weideman in and let him play the year out with BB because there are no other options.

    Sparrow is Weid 2.0

    A good finals series but ultimately not AFL standard

    Brown was shi te

    But Weide was shi te last week, and somehow managed plenty of lead up possession in the Casey game... ??

    Honestly,  I cgaf if it was BBB or Weid next week, but M Brown and Fritta provided the options tonight

    Ben Brown has been poor nearly all year. Take off the ginger goggles.

    History of good games means absolutely nothing.

    Mitch Brown did nothing tonight mate, and for a bloke with 'fresh legs' he was as stationary as anyone in the forward line.

    When was the last time Weideman wasn’t poor playing senior footy? 2018? 
    Weideman commands 0 respect from the opposition. You drop BB and suddenly Fritta has to play on a FB twice his height.

    How did McDonald go from being selected to out for the season? What’s the source on his injury?

    Well. I’m not panicking as much as you all. That was a 50/50 game just like the swannies game last year. A few umpiring decisions change and so does the result. 
     

    We are 10-2 and have a lot of improving to come. 
     

    In: the best defender in the comp, a Salem and Harmes with a game under their belt  

    Out: poor old Tomo

    We will beat the Pies by our usual 2-3 goals. Hope you lot turn up to the game.

    Probably when he kicked 3 against the Tigers in round 6, or maybe when he kicked 4 in round 3...

    Here's a brief comparison for this year of that 'historically good' Brown vs the 'disrespected' Weid.

    GOALS
    Brown 1.7 Weid 1.5

    MARKS
    Brown 3.2 Weid 3.2

    TACKLES
    Brown 0.6 Weid 1.2

    DISPOSALS
    Brown 8.1 Weid 8.2

    CONTESTED MARKS
    Brown 0.8 Weid 1.3

    It's bizarre how people stick to their perceptions now matter the factual evidence. Brown is badly out of form.

    Is there any veracity to this claim beyond a rumour from the gameday thread alleging TMac told some random spectator at the G that he was having surgery and would be out for the year? Seems an unusually detailed set of information to relay... 🤔

    • 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

      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.
