    Genuine pisstake if Melksham comes straight into the senior side.

    Surely he got the "thanks for your service now" tap after his 200 games. VFL and that's it.

    Melkshem fit to play but I'd be surprised if he's selected in the seniors.

    Yeah this sounds like it's been ripped from goody's presser earlier today where he said that melksham had overcome the hand infection.

    Probably 6 other players that are in better form.

    I’m craving a different side this week. I don’t mean in’s and out but mainly a different look. I’d love Trac more up forward and Gus in the middle. Something different, he’ll be hungry in there. Rotate him and Trac or Trac and Viney. Change it up through out the game. Doesn’t always have to be the same. We literally kick out towards the left side of the ground from a kick in. Mix it up. We are becoming if not have become so damn predictable. We’ve lost our run from the backline. Our goals last year where mainly from the run and carry from the backline. This year we mark it on our defensive 50 and stop… the Oppo have time to man up then we lose that privilege of being in control and it now becomes a 50/50 contest 

    Richmond of late will chip around their defensive half then boom they’re off.

    That's how i'm seeing things as well.

    Add to that...

    Too many other issues to list

    So Stu … in you first scenario Mitch Brown survives? Seriously?

    I agree that against the Pies he was invisible. He performed better against the Swans (4 marks and a goal assist) and was better than the other Brown. But the main reason I think he'll be included (as we now have confirmation that Daw is injured) is that the FD don't like to change the structure (2 talls, Fritsch, and 3 small pressure forwards). They could include JVR and I'd personally be excited to see that, but I just doubt they'll do that at this stage of the year.

    They have often spoke about trying to be calm across the entire FD and we haven't seen reactive team changes for a long time. Goodwin constantly talks about belief in the 'system' - for this reason I can't see him changing the forward structure and/or bringing in a first year player with less than 10 VFL games under his belt. 

    Apologies to Werridee in advance!...

    If Melksham is selected ahead of Bedford I'd have serious questions.

    I am now in tears weed for Gawn!  Don’t be surprised if it is milkshake for M Brown.

    Interesting there seems to be more activity on other threads than this one. Have we accepted that we have run out of reserves and our fate? Interesting the bookies still have us as favourites. I have little idea why.

    I reckon the previous 15 pages of this thread has exhausted all possible ( and many unlikely) permutations od.

    For mine, the certainties are May and Weid in for Turner and Gawn.

    I will  now wait with keen interest, to see what the selectors come up with.

    They’ll be announced around 6:30 tomorrow (Wednesday) might.

    That tweet is terrible news for people who like punctuation. Great news for us getting some unnecessary free kicks on Thursday.

    You haven't made my day with those selections Bbo however I guess there is no one else. The next few weeks will seal the position of the weed one way or the other and we will see if Jackson is more that a good number two

    I actually have a sneaking suspicion that Weid will play his best game for us if he comes in.

    He seems to be a confidence player and to a certain extent he gets a free hit in the ruck as the expectations aren't high on him in the way it is when he's forward.

    He impacts a few contests early and then takes a mark and goals when he goes forward and we'll see a different player.🤞

    Well if he plays fwd that is not likely to happen but if he plays ruck/fwd like he often does for Casey he may be serviceable.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
