8th. If we lose, we'll be 9th (Adelaide won't lose to Hawthorn).

Of course, if we win, we could be 3rd (Coll/Ess winner 1st, St Kilda/Carlton winner 2nd - we can pass St Kilda if they lose and we pass their percentage).

The season is alive with all possibilities,   but much better to win

 

Given the emergencies, I reckon Oliver is right to play.

If he was doubtful, Harmes would be a better bet than Dunstan, as the most likely of the emergencies, to replace Oliver.

I know Harmes wasn't named in the squad but neither was Schache.

Today's Casey game should give a good indication as to who the sub will be.

    As much as I've always liked seeing a team named in position, they may as well just post the selected squad in alphabetical or jumper number order these days.

    Shortest to tallest.

    Was it Jack Dyer when Richmond's captain or coach who told his team mates to "line up alphabetically by height"?

     

    (Which makes sense for our two Smiths and two Turners).

    • Haha 4

    Jack Dyer is also purported to have have told his players at training to pair up in groups of three.

    • Haha 6

    Jack Dyer was a classic 

    I remember on MFC game when he said around ¾ time “ O’Derwiyer* has had a pretty quiet game today” to which his fellow commentator said “Jack - he isn’t playing today” 

    *our #1 Strawbs, Jimma #37/11 partner in crime. 

    • Haha 4

    Team looks a lot better with Max, Lever and Hibberd back in!

    Schache as the sub, giving us something to fall back on either forward, back or ruck seems a good option, as we are going in one tall down in the forward line!

    This is a vial win game, anything less that 5 goals will be poor IMO. We should do the same as the cats. Of course we won't not in our DNA.

    What? Find a weirdly shaped home ground where only 5 Richmond supporters can get in, have half their team out and then thrash them?   A win by any amount will suit me. (Though the more the better.)

    Geelong’s ground is vial shaped. Maybe that explains it.

    Please, please, please, play football like you are the hunters. Take the game on, play fast attacking football. In other words, smash ‘em.

    Watched the Saints win today. Also watched Casey lose despite all of the AFL talent in the side. The Saints showed true desperation at the coal face and a commitment to run all over the ground. If our boys bring that desperation tomorrow night and they are willing to run, run, run, we’ll win. But if we think superior talent is the key, we’ll drop another game.

    Thinking of catching the train in with the kids tomorrow night. I used to have some of the Myki cards but I think they've all expired - does anyone know if there is an app you can use to purchase train tickets? Not really keen on purchasing more Myki cards as I probably use them once every 2 - 3 years.

    In most cities yes. But in Melbourne you must have an android phone https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/tickets/myki/mobile-myki

    Really worried about this one. Not overly confident because at the end of the day it's Richmond. They've won't 3 premierships in this era and still have high quality premiership players running around.

    Thanks Demonsaw, very useful. Do you know whether I can have multiple tickets on the same device? E.g. one for me and each of the kids who don't have their own mobile phone. I couldn't find any info re this on the FAQ.

    You can have up to 10 separate myki cards on the one device.

    Also, your expired cards can be replaced at no cost and the balance (if any) can be transferred to the new card/s.

    Understandable, but if the midfield performs we should get over the line.

    Me too. Really concerned about our forward setup. A couple of weeks ago, Brown and McDonald were our key forwards. Neither could impact VFL today. So what do we have tomorrow night? JVR playing his, what, 4th game. Who else? May, who leads our defence, has looked very ordinary (injured?), Lever not at full fitness, Petty lacking all confidence. And a midfield that turns up when it wants to (Oliver excepted).

    A big if. And if they do, who is kicking the sausage rolls?

    • 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.
