We’re all a bit nervous about Gawn playing. We watched him die and go to heaven against Brisbane and now he’s threatening to play again! It’s simply too much for us

Edited by Roost it far

    Assuming Gawn returns, we will need to start afresh in terms of our selection and structures.

    In terms of our key targets, I think we will see Brown, Gawn/Grundy and one of TMac, JVR or Petty. I would be tempted to go with Petty forward because we should get Lever returning and Hibberd appears to be available. Our backline looked really good against the Swans because Rivers and Hibberd were able to play as interceptors.

    Spargo going out due to concussion means we could reward Laurie for good VFL form or even blood AMW. That said, I would look to play Kossie more as a forward this week and bring Jordon into the 22.

     Fat Tony’s 22+1

    Hibberd, May, Rivers
    Bowey, Lever, Brayshaw
    Langdon, Oliver, Hunter
    Pickett, Petty, Sparrow
    Fritsch, Brown, Gawn
    Grundy, Petracca, Viney
    McVee, Jordon, Chandler, ANB

    Melksham

    Welp. I’m about to dive headlong into the fray. A door and a flight of stairs is all that separates me from the arch nemesis aka the Richmond cheer squad. Wish me luck fellow Demonlanders. On a wing and a prayer!

     

    Cut to me in half an hour laughing and chatting and FB friending these people.

    JK. I never said that.

    I have some very good friends who are Richmond supporters but they are their only two character flaws.

    For any Dlanders who haven't gotten to this game before....to quote Molly, do yourself a favour and get there.

    It's a great atmosphere and hopefully the team also redeems itself.

    Will make an effort next year.

    Still two rucks vs one whose still finding his fitness and feet in a new side. Grundy will hold his own and most likely beat both for hitouts but its having to cover ground to make them accountable both forward and back thats the issue. Grundy looks great in the stoppages/ball ups/throw-ins but quite vulnerable covering the ground still. Even two lesser rucks can take advantage of this.

    Surprised if Gawn plays due to the 5 day break that follows.

    Can only assume they have supreme confidence he can play 2 games within a week.

    Maybe this week is time for Shack and bring Gawn in v Norf?   Or would it be too radical to play Max this week and play Shack v Norf.  Don't know who is their other ruckman ?

     

    Anyone know what time the ceremony starts?

    Gotta plan work finish time around it 


    Laurel and hardy now on selection panel.

    Chandler hbf

    Mcvee hff.

    At least maxy and hibberd are back.

    I reckon they didnt risk hibberd last week to ensure he's ok for dusyy on monday

    TMac holds his place and no spot for Schache on the extended bench

    Will be interesting to see if Brown plays VFL

    Of the 8 on the extended bench you can only guarantee Grundy and Hibberd as inclusions. Any of the remaining six could get the last two spots

    Think you'll find a fair chunk of them aren't as one eyed as most of the other big clubs.

    They went through three decades of pain similar to what we went through.

    They also had their own version of MFCSS which i witnessed first hand prior to their drought breaking premiership in 2017.

    One of my best mates is a ferral Tiger and he just calls things as he sees it .... no BS and respects the oppo / loves the game & the mighty Demons are his second team.

    There is the grog squad of course (assuming Shazza and them are still going)... but that's a diff kettle of stinky fish altogether 🤪

    Gawn and Lever in for Tomlinson and Melksham.

    Spargo either replaced by Jordon or, presumably, Laurie.

    Surprised re Brown. Nothing in the club’s selection article to explain his situation. Assume he is fit but not picked. Which surprises me given TMac’a form.

    if we are even considering Schache we are in trouble. has shown over 8 seasons he is not up to the pressures of AFL. Last resort depth only

    No Brown 

    His back problem must be more serious than first thought.


    Wowee.. 

    Tmac surviving another week.

    So the outs are the outs but the ins hmmm...

    Maxy obvious if fully fit (for Melk)

    Lever if fully fit.  Disco if Lever doesn't get up (for Tommo)

    One of Bill or Dunstan (for Spargoat)

    Lever & Max huge ins,  not just for team structure / performance but for their massive on ground leadership.

    McDonald keeping his spot is a surprise expect Brown is still injured and they have no faith in Schache.

     

    Possible line up

    B: Petty, May, Rivers

    HB: McVee, Lever, Brayshaw

    C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter

    HF: Chandler, McDonald, Neal-Bullen

    F: Pickett, van Rooyen, Fritsch

    FOLL: Gawn. Viney, Petracca

    Or they are making 100% sure of it with an extra week?

    T-Mac and JVR both under the spotlight assuming BB is fully fit for the following week against Norf

    I suspect Goody & the FD probably want to see Schache butter up on his performance at the hanger for a few weeks on the trot.

    • 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.
