Does ready to go mean they are in the team ? Didn't catch the interview with Goody. I'd be happy with BBB in for weid and leave the rest of team as is. I think hunt is our best matchup for ginnivan. 

Above that it states two demons will return to the side on Friday night BM. I’m reading it as Harmesy and Brown are in.

    We need to put those do gooders in their place. Most despised team by a fair way. For the next 48 hours I will smash anything that is black and white into a million pieces. 

    Ok, numbers.....

    Are you referring to the marriage or the premiership?

    They have beaten us the last two times. One of only 7 clubs to beat us the last two seasons. And the only club besides the Bulldogs to beat us in both years.

    Of course they are going to prefer to play us.

    The only team we haven't beaten these two years.

    Anybody worried about the heavy strapping on both of Lever's ankles?

     

    There's a reason he's not in AA calculation this year, Andy. He doesn't have the same mobility IMV, but Lever at 90-95% could still help us win back to back.

    With Harmes back that makes Melksham as sub?

    Will be interesting to see. Make sense either him or Hunt , I guess. I think both offer something that harmes can't and we have enough of what harmes brings to the team. Having said that harmes has been a good contributor over a long period so I'll back in the selection committee

    Not super confident about this one the Pies always give us loads of trouble - I think it will be close not a smashing either way

    Think it’s the ongoing impact from the bad rolled ankle recently. The week off before finals will do our players a world of good. Guys like Gawn, Brown, Lever, Clarry, Petty have all missed matches and played under duress in the second half of this year. A week for them to freshen up and heal further should have us in good knick to give finals a red hot crack at closer to full strength.

    Brown in for Weid is a given if he’s fit.

    Not sure who Harmes comes in for. The team balance was better last week with Hunt in the backline and Gus up into the middle. I’d want to avoid reverting to the previous structure as it didn’t work as well for us IMO. Harmes in for Melksham and spending time forward in a more defensive role and trying to snag a few himself?

    Harmes and Brown in makes the most sense but getting used to expecting the unexpected.

    Watching Goodwin's press conference, he hesitated when discussing where Harmes will play. He might just not want to give up too much in a press conference, but my read on it is I think Harmes will play VFL this week.

    That was my take. He was definitive about BBB playing, but said that Harmes is ready to go. I took that to mean that Harmes was available, rather than being in the team. But there's no VFL game for Casey.

    If Harmes comes in, I think it will be for ANB.

    I feel like we should end up with a comfortable 5 goal win but not as confident as I was for last week's game. Cautiously optimistic.

    Sub?

    My thoughts BB in for Weids (JVR only if BB doesn't come up). Harmes in as sub.

    Also think Brayshaw stays as mid for rest of year if he plays to same level as last week. Our midfield becomes stronger and it allows for Hunt or Bowie to stay in the team. Harmes becomes regular sub or replacement for Melk should his form drop.

    I don't understand why we don't have Tomlinson as a sub every game. I get the injection of pace like a Chandler or Bedford, but talls are vital to our structure and game style, so having someone that has the capacity to play tall back, forward, wing or ruck seems like the ideal sub.

    But you may be right, mate. Harmes could well be sub.

    Just because Goody said Harnes is fit to go doesn't means he comes straight back in. 

    Goodly mentioned last week that they'll continue to play Brayshaw in the midfield as it's a set up they've been meaning to trial for a number of weeks, but a spot had not opened for Brayshaw.

    The move was a great success for both Brayshaw and Hunt which means right at this minute there is no room for Harmes to slot back in it seems.

    They would hardly say Harmes in if he’s sitting on the bench for likely 4 quarters as sub

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
