Agree with this. Came 3rd in the Brownlow as a mid. Kicking & footy smarts has gone through the roof since this time. 

At least trial it for a 1-2 week period. 

Setting up to fail. If you want to do it - commit to it for two months.

I wouldn’t do this btw. Our mids are winning it, our forwards are the problem with their lack of pressure and connection. Dare off the backline would be handy too. 

I think this is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and Paul is pretty well off.

His field kicking has been phenomenal this year 

74% efficiency sure has been very good from him. Always thought he was a good kick either side, his issues were never technical but maybe erred with decision making. This year he's been as composed as ever.

We got absolutely smashed by the Dockers in the guts after half-time...! And our mids are turnover Kings...! We are one-dimensional and predictable. If we stick to our current midfield rotation. It’s bye bye Demons because they will Bomb Out 💣 like there kicking...
 

Our backline is best as named in the Grand Final... May, Lever, Petty, Salem, Bowey and Hibberd. Rivers to come off the bench.

Angus will be our most dominant midfielder...!

Last I checked forward connection is between midfield and forwards - our mids are just as much to blame. Yes pressure in f50 is bad , but it’s bad all over the ground.

Id trial Gus in the HF - in ANB or Harmes role.

Oh yes please. I am so sick of Harmes butchering the ball when kicking inside 50.

If Salem and Rivers can get back to their best then I would like to see Gus more forward of centre. 

It irritates me when the commentators wax lyrical about Brayshaw playing on the outside rather than inside where he finished third in the Brownlow.  A big sacrifice for team balance but they should also note that it is a necessity.  He went off the ball when he regularly suffered concussion.  Hence the the helmet.  So I don't think going on the ball is an option.

I’m sick of people taking about Brayshaw’s 3rd in the Brownlow like it means anything. He stole all of Clarry’s votes. Shouldn’t have been top 30.

The move wasn’t made for concussions. It was made because he’s incredibly slow off the mark in transition running and the 6-6-6 meant we couldn’t cover that weakness with numbers off the back of the square. 

When you have Oliver and Petracca as ball hunters you need unselfish workers like Sparrow and Harmes to round out a midfield.

The only way Gus goes back as a permanent mid is if Petracca plays permanent forward and that seems unlikely.

  • 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.

  • 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.
