Ports young guns are moving the ball fast and taking difficult marks with aplomb we will need to curb their influence early in the game. It is going to be a tough ask but we have the talent to do it our Ins will be super critical. As Demonstone mentioned earlier it is Sad that two of our top SA youngsters miss out but still have Chandler, Alex and Grundy playing. go Dees.!!!

    This weekend marks the next phase of the season. If we can go 6-2 over the next 8 weeks we remain on track for top 2.

    4-4 and we are borderline 4th or 5th

    Reckon any of Brown, TMac or Schache in for Petty. Not sure on current fitness/form for each with no seconds game.

    Jordon for Sparrow

    Smith for emergency for flexibility.

    interesting non committal comment on Salem

    Possibly in the 23 which would be a big surprise

    Given Goody's media conference just now, you would have to say that BBB is the one in for Petty.

    He spoke about the body of evidence in the VFL and Tom didn't play the last game and then there was a bye.

    Also he mentioned BBB, Tom and Melk as possibles for Petty, but didn't mention Smith. Could be gamesmanship of course, but if it's not, then it looks like BBB is in.

    Pretty sure they will want to see Salem play a full game at the minimum for Casey, before being considered.

    I'm confused.  Listening to Goody & other coaches it appears most teams  have been building in the last month or so.

    Yet apparently there's a housing shortage!

    Marshall is a definite out.

    Dixon I will presume as such considering it was supposedly a minor strain to his quad at training last week.

    Quad strains are nefarious injuries and unless 100 % he would not be risked

    Could start as a sub then play more minutes the following day with Casey.

    I remain convinced that we are a better team with BBB in, even though he can go missing, or drop lots of marks he gets to. 

    At this current time, I prefer Jordon over Sparrow.

    OUT: Petty, Sparrow

    IN: BBB, Jordon

    Harmes to sub

    I like the sound of J Smith as an option, but reckon he would lack genuine game fitness. If something required him to be subbed on in the 2nd quarter, he would be out of steam in the last quarter.

    I'll preface this by saying I have no idea what the extent of his quad strain was but I reckon he might have just been rested so he's cherry ripe for this match. If we were playing them last week (or another Top 6 team) and they weren't playing North he wouldn't have been rested.

    He's 99.99993% playing this week.

    I wouldn't think Smith would be considered until we proves his fitness over a couple more weeks.  He has played 2 games in what 10-12 months? 

    And we need a leading fwd to come in anyway

    Pecking order would be Brown, T Mac, Schache, Melksham, Smith

    Well Melksham  in  wouldn't be the worst option.

    He might have lost a yard of pace but he's got a lot of 'rat cunning '

    As we’re Narrm for the next few rounds can we change the cheer squad to be the Barmy Narrmy? 😁

    • 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.
