Joel Smith could be used as a sub if a TMac/Fritsch go down up forward or May’s calf plays up he can cover on defence. 

Sound reasoning. 

Salem may be returning via Casey.

    Yeah, in first half Gus stood out for all the wrong reasons.   He had a horrible passage of play early in the 2nd quarter where he missed Bowie by a meter or two by hand, fumbled the ball when it came back to him then kicked it out on the full, all under minimal pressure.  Thankfully he turned it around bigtime after halftime.  I think he plays his best footy across halfback too.

    It is noticeable, though, that Gus is human and can make odd mistakes from time to time; however, he does amend these errors in quick time and within this process, also creates (as necessary) improved plays and significant controls over the positive progress of the ball in the Demons' favour. Mr Fixit!

    Joel Smith/Hibberd may be the surprise selection for Cameron?

    This^^ Don’t let Cameron settle. Rotate opponents through him

    As a 'sub', Joel Smith could also be part of this rotational plan - athletic, taller, physically more powerful, just as fast. Cameron is going to be confused, shut down by multiple opponents, sore and desperate to the point of becoming disoriented and 'un-cool', and thus losing the plot. :-)

    If I can count properly, that’s 27 players.  Some team-bonding /culture building going on?Great to see if that’s the reason.

    Yeah, I can see the reasoning to have Joel as sub to give us flexibility in covering multiple injury returns. That said, IMO he is not the next best option in any of them and I'm always nervous when he's in the starting 22.

    Away game so they would want to bring the emergencies in case a late change is needed.

    That was last time. Now, we can apply a multi-functional opposition on Cameron, overcoming his every innovation and hopeful success across the whole game. That is depth!

    Thommo to stay as insurance for May, Fritsch to come in for Chandler, I would give Brayshaw a crack in the forward line as a replacement for Kozzie but we will see tonight.

    We tend to travel with a big group when we do interstate trips, and make it a team building building experience.

    Could explain our impeccable interstate record lately.

    May won’t be playing.  

    If he doesn't play it must be due to either the injury or conditioning.

    If it's either of those why would you subject him to an unnecessary 2 plus hours each way sitting on an aeroplane?

    People are underestimating Port in analysing round 1. Port are contenders imo.   Have talent and youth on all lines mixed with experience.  Having said that Lions were smashed at the contest

    It's funny how rivalries develop in the game. Apart from the traditional ones it's interesting to see new ones like dogs and lions to a lesser extent developing. I think it will be a great game. Sad Kozzie is out but hopefully with some other stars returning will balance it out. Can't wait for this one.

    • 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.
