    Agreed,but if things arent working Goodwin must start taking risks and we have the players to make it happen.Throwing Petty fwd  has to be an option.

    Got to win this one.

    This.

    You can have Royce Hart at CHF and Peter Hudson at FF - but if you're coming via the hotdog stand, forget it.

    With Gawn out and May returning, Goodwin has a few things to consider. Tomlinson has been pretty good this year and Petty has been a bit down compared to previous seasons. One option I think we should consider is throwing Petty forward. 

    JVR could also come into the side to replace the out of form TMac, although this role would also include part time rucking. 

    Not permitted to throw anyone around these dayz.

    Yes you can. Putin  is about to throw 300k soldiers  into the fwd line .  They'll  obliterate whats left of the Ukraine. 

    Of course you can throw Petty fwd - if necessary.

    Just delist jvr, brown and tmac if we're going to put Petty forward, no chance

    Petty needs to settle down in the back line. We have enough quality in our forwards ,specially when Gawn goes forward . If Schache had been fit  , he surely would have been very heavily considered.

    Tmac with his foot injury cannot be expected to ruck, thus JVR needs to come in.

    I expect the Swans to play 3 talls , therefore May, Petty, Tomlinson  also play with Lever to play on flank or back pocket.It maybe Hibberd comes in and replaces Tomlinson.Young McVee needs a rest  (managed).

    Really McVee needs a rest !  What makes you think that. ? 

    2 games in our fitness staff would resign if a player had to be managed after 2 rounds after a rest brfoure the season started.

    Please maybe you have a rest as well with a weird post like this.

    Whether or not it's a good idea I just don't see Goody swinging the magnets around like this. Apart from throwing Oscar Mac up forward and then Petty in the final which may not have even been his call it's hard to remember a regular team member popping up in a random position.

    The circumstances are that we’re badly depleted in the ruck division and Tom McDonald appears to be struggling to hold his place in the team so, irrespective of the long term vision as to who plays where, it would seem sensible to consider some short term solutions to an immediate problem.

    Moving Harry Petty to KPF, including JvR as the second ruck to Brodie Grundy could be just the trick for this one game due to the circumstances.

    Didn't he keep Cameron to 2 Goals?

    Is easily AFL standard and has played his role well as an undersized def v Dogs and then on the best small fwd in the game v Bris

    Lol yes I'd be pretty surprised if some are questioning the cats defence of last year. 

    Starts by having a bloke called Tom Stewart who is a 4 x All Australian half back.

    Yeah Cats defense was very good, more pointing out we had Lever, Petty, May in defense last year and it didn't get us a flag because our forward line wasn't up to scratch.

    We didn't win the flag because 3 of our most important players were broken by the time finals came around. Gawn was seconds away from missing with a rib injury, Trac played with a broken leg and Clarry with a broken hand.

    Lever was barely holding his ankles together, Fritta was injured in a warm up and Tmac was out with a busted foot.

    Oh and Jackson had checked out, Salem was injured, and BBB couldn't walk let  along run.

    We finished second on the ladder despite our less than ideal forward line functionality and I still maintain that had we stayed really fit we would have won the flag.

    Also Brayshaw was injured and another I now forget too.

    Agree though, fully fit and with TMac I believe we could have won it.

    I don't know about timing but it turns out Lingers had broken 4 ribs (not just bruised as reported).  It's likely these were still healing / tender at finals time

    Agreed, he doesn't seem to do this normally unless he's already experimented.  It was interesting in Rd 1 to see BBB temporarily pop into defence for small moments in the game - might have been something that had already been practice during preseason.  Think there was also another player but can't remember who that popped up in a few spots.  We seemed much more flexible and attacking against the Dogs.

    Gus was moved into the midfield at half time too in the Lions game (although that's more likely due to Gawn down and a general reshuffling).

    Wonder what we'll see against the Swans - probably not much movement.  But when Kozzy is back we might begin to see that flexibility again because we'll be slightly less strapped for depth and our backs may be less against the wall.

    • 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.
