I really hope there is a genuine realization from the FD that Jordan is a much more effective, reliable player at the moment compared to Harmes. At least thats what this naive supporter believes

Hopefully, Harmes is either one of either sub, emergency or lines up for Casey. I hope everything with Harmsy is OK with possibly family member passing away. 

This. 

Hope his personal circumstances are okay, but I think we look elsewhere going forward unless Harmes magically turns it on at VFL level. 

He simply doesn't do the basics well enough, consistently enough and tries to be Petracca 2.0 too often. 

I'm actually looking forward to adding a top 10 midfielder into our group at the end of this year, will be refreshing. 

Thanks Freo!

Wouldn't say Bowey was immense at all....

He had 10 disposal for the night and played like someone who was overthinking it knowing that he spot was under pressure.

You’re right, immense is overstating it. But he hit targets, moved the ball quickly and won one on one contests. Salem got dinky kicks that led to turnovers and couldn’t move, compete or tackle to his usual standard. Bowey should’ve been able to move better and complete his role better, would he? who knows?  but I think an unfit Salem was one of many mistakes we made in last years finals.

Jordan (Sub)

*Jordon.

No way Jordon is is relegated to sub after the way he played last week. He was superb.

Outs will probably come from the sore/injured guys BBB, Hibbo and possibly Lever and they'll re-jig the midfield for Kozzie.

Don't worry layzie the dees don't do 100 point victories. 60 is the max IMO. 

I'll take 60 this weekend.

He (Bowey) may not have had many possessions, but I can't recall his opponent/s doing much. Which is a significant part of a defender's job. He's a ripper. 

I worry about Salem's future. Bowey and McVee may have overtaken him.

Any chance of a Blake Howes debut if Pig doesn't get up?

Tomlinson should be next in pecking order he has done everything to stay in contention.

Blake Howes had his best game last week but i would be letting him replicate that for few more weeks to be more AFL ready.


One thing for sure about this match is I'm not going to know who half the Eagles players are

Half! That's still about 80% more than I'll be able to identify.

Wow wee Bowza

Does Collingwood, when they draw what is seemingly going to be a comfortable game, go through this " how much do we need to beat them by  to have satisfaction?" rubbish from some supporters?


A lot gets said about how we never play WC in Melbourne but we gave up home advantage to play them in the NT in 2015 and 2019 so that's on us.

Layzie was talking about the winning margin, OD, not the crowd size.

Half the Eagles players won’t know who half the Eagles players are. 😁

At least we get to play them at our home ground - Optus Oval :)

I find that Bowza kick mesmerising. I just keep watching it over and over.

Now he's seen Goody moving the magnets, I bet he wants Petty's place in the forward line and is auditioning

Given how much joy they got out of multiple one point wins last year (or at least less than a goal in the dying seconds of the game) I'd say not!

 

T Mac and Kozzi   IN

Brown and Hibbo  OUT

Probably the same number.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
