Only change I can see is Harmes in for Sparrow or Spargs both had little impact last night. Spargs might be one of the best kicks inside 50 but that doesn't work if he's not getting the ball. Two of his efforts last night were terrible

    It’s crap but we aren’t dropping him for the Lions unless he’s further injured. He had the guts and smarts to kick to the corridor to set up the winning goal though, so it’s not all bad 

    Yeah, I haven't even convinced myself that he should be dropped either 🙂. Also, I don't know that he actually meant the ball to go into the corridor, good play if he did. I thought he wound up for a longer bomb and just shanked it there.

    Rubbish. He suited it perfectly fine when we won a flag. What have we completely changed about our game style this year that suddenly now renders him obsolete? Do you think our game style this year is humming along perfectly? No tweaks needed? Reckon Goody talking about 'forward connection' is just to get his face in the paper?

    Nonsensical to suggest getting rid of him when his strength is what we desperately need.

    Well his strength isn't amounting to much.

    need a settled side

    I think we need to reward good performances, Harmes & Weiderman were very good for Casey & Brown & Spargo have been very very poor for a few weeks

    Start using his strength more and we get better as a team. To me, that means coaching instructions not dropping the player.

    Harmes wasn’t good and Brown wasn’t bad. That’s just not true

    Fair enough. No doubt Weed and Harmes are a cut above VFL level. Doesn’t mean they deserve a game though. Brown continues to bring the ball to ground. We simply cannot drop him. Weed has shown he is not good enough over many years

    Nah the defenders all set up and it was a deliberate snap. He wanted it to go longer and not right to Motlop but it was a really smart play

    Watch the replay. Lever meant it. He actually turns his body to kick it there. Trac was wrong with his assessment unless Lever went against team rules.

    Maybe below par, I thought really about par, but definitely not very very poor.

    This side of Tmac there isn’t one. 

    TMac, TMac, TMac.  Obviously not yet but would be rapt if he became a realistic option (as opposed to a desperate option) to consider in a few weeks.  Fingers crossed.

    Lever meant it and if Trac doesn’t realise that’s where our outnumber is in a ‘win game’ scenario then we have a problem. He is the biggest ‘blazer’ in the team and if he isn’t careful - his career will turn the way of  Dangerfield.

    i don't understand the obsession on here of wanting to change our structure - the only time that will happen will be if plugger mac is available again

    harmes for sparrow remains the move i'd make but i won't be surprised when it's 'no changes' vs the bears

    Well that isn't going to happen - so maybe Joel Smith could (at least partially) fill his role

    Bowey in to replace one of the pressure forwards - Spago or ANB -  we need his kicking skills into the forward line and both lads out of form - particularly ANB.

    Leave Brown - but just play deep -  doesn’t lead past fwd 20m arc -  and encourage midfielders / backs to run ball further toward 50m to kick.  Standing 15m out from goal is the only time Brown looks likely.

    Spargo was putrid yesterday would have Bowey in a heartbeat🙂


    I know at times Brown provided a decent contest but he ran too far under the ball time after time last night. If Weid didn’t get pushed around so easily at times the spot would be his.

    Either way Goody is not one for making wholesale changes especially after a gutsy win. I cannot see Spargs or "the Bird" being dropped but one way or another Harmes will come in and as I see it Bowey is a possibility - but again, at whose expense.

    Dees are a better team with Bowey & Harmes in it...!

    So Spargo and ANB to come out. 

    Can't see Goody playing players on friday, who played the whole game for Casey today. It was a hard slog today.

    That suggests Toby and Kade vying for sub on friday, who both were out for H & S protocols.

    ANB, Sparrow, Brown, Spargo all liabilities. A mirror image to last week except we won.

    No chance tho, presumably 

    Brown was good. Lifted in the second half. Probably playing the hardest role in the team atm. Single Key Forward. Could have kicked 3/4. He’s not far off.

    Spargo was useless again. ANB looked to be negating Saad (which worked) and I’ll give you Sparrow, he’s been half the player he was last year, I could see Harmes taking his spot.

    • 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.
