I wonder if it might be the other way around. Jordon may appear to be ahead of Harmes because he (JJ) was sub and Harmes didn't play at all. But I suspect Harmes will play the Sparrow role better than Jordon. On the other hand, if it was Viney or Oliver who needed to be replaced, I would expect Jordon to play ahead of Harmes. It's all about the role being played.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder whether Salem comes in with either Brayshaw or Rivers moving from defence to take on the Sparrow role.

    Good points and Harmes available to tag.

    T Mc, BBB, J Smith, Melksham, Schache or no one (with Tracc probably forward more).

    I probably lean towards Tommy if he’s had a couple of good weeks on the track given Petty has mostly played more of a lead up CHF role.

    Maybe Schache if he hasn’t? Schache played defensive forward or Aliir in the Dogs prelim final win. If the Dees coaches are reading this, go pull out the tape of that game and watch big Schach.

    Different bird altogether, @McQueen.

    He called his opponent a fluffy, pink flamingo and the Hawks player felt he had to put his foot down.

    So that's two South Australians missing from the team to travel to Adelaide.

    Grundy and Nibbler had better not walk underneath any black cats or have a ladder cross their path.

    Was lucky enough to speak to someone from the club last week.  And amongst other things, the Pies come up in our conversation and he said words to the effect of ‘we can’t wait to play them, because we think our backline and defensive structure will stack up well against them’. I replied, yeah but wouldn’t Petty need to go back against them, and he said, ‘no, Petty has been our best performing forward and we prefer him up there’.

    Chandler plays a role where you will have quiet games. Small forwards have the hardest role in footy in terms of getting big stats. Sometimes they'll kick 3, sometimes they'll touch it twice a game. It's just luck of the draw and really depends on how the rest of the side is playing. 

    I think as long as Chandler keeps up his defensive role, he is perfectly fine. 

    BTW he had 12 touches, 3 score involvements and 3 clearances. These are super similar stats to Spargo, but Spargo kicked 2 and that's how the dice rolled this week. 

    Good point. As a matter of fact, it did occur to me when watching the replay that there are times in every game where the ball always seems to by played on the other wing - hence Langdon's relative quietness in the first half and Hunter's in the second half. The same probably applies to Chandler. I really love the way he plays, with heart and soul and great skill. So I take it back....

    I think Smith has been in the best form in the VFL. I think he should get the shot. Very upset for Petty, hope to see him back soon.

    Loving the flipped feedback that NOW Petty is out, its a problem for us.

    It's only been for the last month on this forum that Petty has contributed to a dysfunctional forward line and he is far better suited in defence.

    Feel for Petts was really starting to hit his straps.

    I would prefer Tmac but i get the feeling the more agile Smith will be preferred.

    This stacks up to where both teams sit on scores from stoppages, scores from turnovers and scores from kick ins. Thanks for the info, Edward Platt. ❤️

    when we lost Petty last week , our forward line looked less dangerous in the air.  JVR and Gawn/Grundy.  Goody tried Gawn forward after 1/2 time but we needed him on the ball.

    Goody on AFL 360 just said either McDonald or Brown will come in for Petty.

    • 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.
