Might be me... the new occulars... or.. 🤷🤷🤔..   but ive noticed his kicking . Even I initially thought it just the odd occurrence  but started to take particular notice ...

Granted the earlier games this year.....   Its only his kicking per se..  the getting and going..  does well...   but id like a $ for every time he's burnt the the deliveree .

I prefer Christian in this role. 

I’m not sure what you are noticing. You do realise that despite being under the hammer quite a bit, trying to clear from a congested backline, he is going at 82.4% DE? I love Salo but even at his absolute best he has never had a season with a DE with above 80%

    Or maybe he simply didn't make the team purely because how well we're travelling and the form of Pickett, Nibbler and now Chandler who are just much more dynamic at ground level.

    It's a hard side to crack. He'll just need to bide his time.

    Dermie today said Dees are his flag favourites because we have best hardest midfield.

    And the talent now that can't get a game being a major inidicator.

    The Casey game is at 12.05pm.

    Yeah, I know that, but Docs Demons is saying we have to leave the ground after the Casey match then re-enter when gates re-open at 2:30. The Casey match won’t even have finished by then. Also, it’s very important that we know since we would have to pack up all our gear, drag it out of the ground, then return at 2:30. It doesn’t make sense. I hope DD can say where he’s read this.

    Just goes to show again stats are arguably useless.

    What am i noticing... who he kicks it to....or rather...misses. If youre going to get cute with delivery....get it right.

    If Spargo is coming back through the twos then bloody hell that's one impressive Casey team we'll have this week!

    Where’s Spargo? Also, surely Hibberd is a late out and someone like Schache comes back in so Petty can go down back? Suns have got 3x 195cm+ forwards and they’ve brought in Casboult. 
     

    Weather forecast also says it’ll be a dry game.

    Why would Hibberd be a late out ?

    Spargo mustn’t be ready, playing it safe. Otherwise he’d be sub (emergency) so pretty obvious he isn’t ready folks

    I rate Spargo really high, but none of Chandler, Kozzie or ANB can miss out on present form. Not a huge fan of a forward line with Grundy and JVR as main bigger targets, but while the scoring is high with such a huge spread of individual goal kickers each week, it seems to be working.

    Someone here said Goody mentioned in his pre match presser than spargo was available for selection.

    I’ve read this and while it makes it clear that one ticket gets you into both matches, it doesn’t mention having to leave the ground in between matches, which is what Docs Demons has stated.

    Thinking ahead just a little, but does anyone get the feeling Salem might not be an automatic inclusion once fit? Pretty tight competition in the roles he might slide into.

    Certainly there's a case for giving him time to rediscover form at Casey, but it does feel a bit weird that we could be looking at a Casey team with multiple mature premiership players in it, plus Dunstan, Melksham and Smith!

    Given their outs and dare I say it.... we are in form, the game should be over by half time given the nice conditions

    I prefer forward 50 defensive pressure with multiple goal scorers and ground ball ability. I actually thought Schache had some ok touches, incl. for 1st goal by Chandler, he positioned perfectly for the ariel contest and tapped well to Petracca. But would have Petty back in as his forward defensive 50 ability is an asset to contest against an Aliir Aliir type (Sydney must still be spewing he is playing for PA). And we need to get a block of games into JVR, it is an investment that needs to be made. 

    Totally agree about Bowey burning a few with his lobbed kicking, (a bit Cameron Bruce), but need to see that Salem has his run back, we'll die if he can't motor properly.

    McVee to my eye is playing better than Bowey, incredible how he has come on.

    • 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.

      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.
