Sheesh, people parked their MFCSS in the training thread when mentioned Oliver didn’t train today. I thought everyone would’ve had kittens.😁

The HS are reporting that Oliver has the flu, did not train today and is not a certainty for Monday’s game 😬

If he's not %100, he's one bloke who must be rested.

He cops a hammering every game, so you'd think a week off would be beneficial.

He would be a huge loss, but FMD, if we can't beat the undermanned tiggers without him we're kidding ourselves about being serious contenders.

I noticed you’d mentioned that, DZ. I was surprised no one reacted. I was expecting mass coronaries to take place.

You’re a true martyr to the cause

Not gonna lie, it felt all sorts of wrong weaving yellow and black. Especially since I was doing it on my own, and at one point I looked up and there was about a dozen Toiges standing behind watching me, silently. It was one of those what’s wrong with this picture moments.

Really hope Dunstan gets an opportunity.

Yes as @layzie says the $23 is for your reserved seat. In theory it's going to be in a better location than a GA seat if you just turn up. "Better" depends on where you prefer to sit though.

I prefer to be behind the goals over the wing but that's not necessarily thought of as "better" by the ticket allocators.

Level 2, behind the goals, Punt rd end.

Can’t go wrong.

Melbourne will give star midfielder Clayton Oliver every chance to prove his fitness ahead of Monday night’s Anzac Eve clash with Richmond after he missed the club’s main training session on Friday, due to flu-like symptoms.

The Demons kept Oliver away from the main group as a precaution as he trained on his own on Friday afternoon.

The players have a day off on Saturday, but Melbourne hopes Oliver will be back with the main group for its captain’s run session on Sunday.

The Demons look set to regain Max Gawn, Jake Lever and Michael Hibberd for the big Anzac Eve clash, while coach Simon Goodwin said Angus Brayshaw could have some more midfield minutes against the Tigers.

Oliver will not miss because of a sniffle. It’s Oliver. He’s played with a broken hand before. 
Only if he has Covid will he miss. 


Saying he trained away from the group but had symptoms… just what we need is a freaking virus to decimate our side before our bounce back game.. MFCSS running wild.

He's had a crack before Dazzle - he just seems a little below AFL nowadays.

Yeah he'd have to be pretty sick to miss surely. A few days to recover he'll be right!

I don't know why we didn't look for another tall forward given Tmac's foot injury and Weid and Jackson leaving.

Not sure about the voracity of need.

Currently it might be nice to have a walk up starter....and maybe we do.

Ostensibly Tmac was o.k.  ( granted and possibly like yourself  he's a risk in this regard ) The plan  had been Grundy and Gawn to rest fwd..   Hasn't gone to plan .

Brown... meh...   

The Roo....  definitely a positive 

Point is we have quite some depth. 

Schache has his abities and in a fashion is the very filip you address. He doesn't seem to excite too many here....but he has played finals and equitted himself more than fairly.

These players are either good to go when required...or they wouldn't be there surely.

We've had a cup and a half of bad luck/bad timing. It's testing us.

Personally i think the cattle IS there.....it's whether there's good enough selection to back them. 

P.s....there's Petty... but cant rob the backs when they're light on

We all remember what Trac dished up last year coming off a flu - if he’s not 95% or better than he shouldn’t play.

Isn't "flu like symptoms" the way they are describing it these days, presumably to prevent triggering the facebook certified medical experts?

Very good point Gawndy

 

Not to raise the alarm but I’ve just come out the other side of the flu, 1 week properly bed ridden and then 2 weeks well below par to follow.

I’m not old (37) nor am I an elite athlete but I’m fitter than most. This is the sickest I’ve ever been 

Hope Clarry is ok

  • 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.
