New rule for this thread: Anyone who says Harmes should have been picked also has to say who should have been omitted to allow that to happen.

Arguably Hunt.

    It could be, Gawn used to drop back and help out, but am noticing hes dropped off a lot in this role and I'm unsure why?

    More time forward to provide a marking option I guess SFebes.

    Very true mate. I think his best footy is behind the ball but every now and then he goes forward and has a blinder. Still dont think we get enough goals out of him though, or our mids in general.

    I love the Maxy that gets back to help out and takes those intercept marks and would also prefer that in all honesty with the odd foray forward. I guess it's just a hole that needs filling up front right now..

    Don’t forget that I think it was Cox who deliberately and recklessly charged Max from behind in a marking contest with knees to the back.  A dog act by a lowlife 😎..............

    I've not forgotten. He had no other intention but to injure. Would dearly love to see retribution in the form of a knee to the solar plexus at Cox's first centre bounce.

    Aside from that I don't mind the big Yank. He has a quirky sense of humour & deserves credit for carving out a career in a foreign game

    I’m in a bet with mates group, we always bet head to head anywhere from 3-5 games a week. There’s been at least one major upset 15 out of the 20 rounds played  this season.

    Fair enough, but I guess it all depends on how you define major upset. If you have one team at $1.50 (odds of 1 to 2) and it's opponent at $3 (odds of 2 to 1), across all 9 games you would expect mathematically the team at $3 to win roughly 2 out of 9 and those wouldn't be upsets,  just averages.

    Don't start me again - byes are an abomination in any fair competition.  Gil please note.

    Well obviously byes are impossible to avoid if you have an odd number of teams (although I don't know why 4 byes are needed in the VFL this year). I assume currently the AFL could have no byes but they have decided to have one bye for each team staggered over 3 weeks to provide some rest for players. I don't know why they should be seen as an abomination.

    Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say it should be a rule but I agree you can't have an in without an out. I'd go further. If it's not s straight swap posters should explain explain their proposed positional changes.  If Harmes comes in, I assume Hunt would go out and Gus would move back to the backline. Given how effective Gus's move was last week and the role Hunt played, selectors have decided to stick with last week's structure which wouldn't work with Harmes in and Hunt out.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
