Hibbo pulled up? Wow 

It’ll be Pickett for Brown. Petty will remain forward and I reckon Tomlinson will be sub. 
They will obviously not drop Rivers or Chandler and I’ll burn the joint down if JJ gets the chop.

Had Jordon in my votes last week. Cannot believe he’s been omitted. Tough to find anyone to drop, but I don’t agree with this decision.

2018 Round 9, MCG: Melbourne 25.9.159 defeated Carlton 7.8.50

Melbourne won by 109 points! I was there with my daughter - it was FANTASTIC!

 

Sadly I still don’t remember it.

He is clearly being seen as out of best 22

Even in the StK practice game he was playing in the 2s game

The Jordan one is really stuff…Sparrow would want to have a solid, impactful game as Jordan was excellent last week

Reality is that no one deserved to be dropped, but someone had to for Pickett..

would be interesting to hear the thought process behind the decision 


If you base form on this year purely between Jordon and Sparrow considering they play the exact same role then even in the single game he's played, Jordon's output far out weighs the underwhelming performances Sparrow has dished up so far.

It's not just this year alone but even going off last year's form where he was again, underwhelming for the year.

I don't blame him either and I hope for his own career sake. 

He'll be better appreciated somewhere else.

There's a lot of the season to go yet

For me he leaves at the end of the year and I don’t blame him. Definitely deserved his spot this week

Your not alone. Real head scratcher this scratching.

 

re: Sparrow vs Jordon. I'd be wagering the football department have some insight and know what they are doing and for what purpose, be it for 2023 or beyond.

Edited by Engorged Onion

Really think JJ or better Sparrow should be sub and rotate it through the year amongst a few. Melksham can get to his 100 father and son rule stuff later in the year. What happened to rewarding form. We have treated JJ poorly.

Sparrow is the new O Mac

We thrashed Gold Coast by 98 points in August 2021.  Remember that one?  Viney got suspended.

God, we have some overblown nonsense in this thread.

Its hard for good young players to keep a spot in this midfield unless you are special.

Deal with it.

Sparrow very lucky to be in the team. Jordon very stiff.

I'm with you, there's stories like this in most successful clubs and whoever gets him is going to have a very committed and ready made player.

Que?

Not happy!! Agree with others re JJ.

Also, I don't think Tmac deserved to be recalled after only 1 good match at Casey.

Not up to it but will have fantastic job security in the best 22 for the next 5 years based off a few good glimpses

Ah, I thought you were referencing the outwardly expressive love for him on Demonland a la the oft maligned OMAC!

Carry on... 😘


The last two seasons Jordan has had late season injuries that ruled him out of finals and meant he was sub for the grand final in ‘21.

The FD may be being cautious with him and letting him work into the season. That’s the only reason I can see why they’d drop him after his game last week.

Tragic.

He will be sub, Kozzie and Tmac both had to come in. Doubt whether Jordon will spit the dummy at the end of the year.

It's only round 4.  Plenty to play out this season so let's not jump the gun re Jordon leaving.

You'd have to have faith in our FD and also recognise we have more than 22 worthy senior players on the list.

 

Not surprised by the change, difficult though it is to make changes to a winning team. Pickett in gives us more outside run around the ball, so no surprise that they've kept Sparrow who's more of an insider.

Jordan unlucky but will get his chances, we're not going to get through the season without midfield injuries and he's next cab off the rank.

Overblown is an understatement.

  • 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.
