Can't see us leaving Ben Brown without much help given his form for most of the year. Think one of Mitch Brown or Weideman stays and given Mitch has played more as the 'pure' forward lately would think he'd get the nod. Will be interesting though as I feel Weid provides better forward pressure while Mitch seems to just bob up for his 1 or 2 'easy' goals then disappear the rest of the game. Tough call.

IN: Gawn, Jackson

OUT: Weideman, Bedford

    I would prefer if we persevere with Toby Bedford. He has shown enough to be given a run of games. The Weid has had plenty of chances. He played his role last week so i'm not bashing him but Toby deserves a fair go as well

    Agree it was good having him & kozzie running around the forward line

    Wrong.

    Hawkins was 23 years of age when he kicked 62 goals in a season back in 2012.

    This was backing up from a near BOG performance the year before in the grand final at 22 years of age.

    Even in his 3rd year at AFL level Hawkins still kicked 34 goals in 2009

    Hawkins was far more advanced into his career then what what Weid is at similar age.

    I also think the comparison to Hawkins is a bit strange considering Hawkins was far more physically developed.

    I don’t disagree that in terms of scoreboard impact that M Brown could have as much impact as Weid, but I don’t think M Brown can offer the same physical presence in marking contents either down the line or in the forward 50. Kicking to contests is clearly a strategy that we are committed to, and I think Weid is better able to impact this area than M Brown.

    All that said I do like M Brown and you could argue that he is a “better” footballer than Weid, but I think their roles in the team are different. 

    Weid physical presence hmmmm

    I can't see Weid going out, with Brown staying in.

    Weid is the one we are trying to improve.

    Being wet, I am pretty sure Toby is safe.

    Maybe Weid as sub.

    The areas Weid needs improvement in are attack on the contest/ball and self belief/confidence.

    Improve those two facets of his game and he will be ok, if not his AFL career may just peter out.

    Personally I'd leave in Weid ahead of Brown, but I just have a feeling role wise they may favour Mitch Brown given it will be purely a forward role rather than a forward/ruck role.

    Not sure it's going to be 'wet'. Forecast I saw was for possible showers in the morning.

    This might be the first game this season where we do not start as favorites.

    Both 1.90 at the moment, but you're right they could well start favourite.

    Which says something about the home game advantage they get playing at  Kardinia park.

    We have beaten them the last four times we have played them, including a win down there.  

    With Jackson and Gawn both confirmed ins, we are only missing TMac from our best 22.

    Whereas they are missing arguably their most important player in Stewart, an out that is compounded by Kolodjashnij also being a likely out.

    We would be something like 1.60 favorites for this game if it were at the MCG (for context we were 1.60 against the lions, despite coming off 3 losses and them being on top of the ladder).

    umm 34 goals in 2009 is not that good for a key forward,weid has not had the chance to play or opportunity to play the same amount of games,big players take time to muture some at different stages of their lives.Hawkins got to play in a team that could afford the time to let  him mature and grow

    What are you on about?

    34 goals for a 19 year old in his 2nd year of AFL level is an fantastic achievement. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

    Take off your red and blue glasses off for goodness sake. The Weideman comparison is laughable to begin with.

    • 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.
