Would it be a horrendous decision to bring in Tomlinson (after two good games at Casey) to support may n lever next week?

It might free Rick up to play his preferred roaming intercept marking role….?

We are running out of options. We don’t have anyone to play on McKay. May has to take Curnow as only he has the speed and height to go with him.

I said Chandler was better than Spargo. IMO Chandler should have stayed on and Spargo should have been subbed off.  

McVee was a different point. I don’t think McVee is setting the world on fire and he needs a rest, and I agree should be dropped, but he isn’t why we lost today.

Lever dropping 9 chest marks was more costly than anything McVee didn’t do in the contest I reckon. 
It’s our senior players not standing up today, or for much of this season (Trac and Clarry aside), that is hurting us the most. 

Agree with this entirely.

And I derps up the first bit, apologies.

 

Out: McDonald, Chandler, Harmes, Jordon

In: Brown, Hunter, Tomlinson

Tomlinson to fill the second key defender post and free up lever to be the 3rd tall. Would prefer Turner but don't think he has the size for carltons forwards. 


When was the last time we made 4 changes to the team? Let alone 4 unforced changes. It simply won’t happen. 
 

I would drop Harmes and McVee and bring Hunter back from suspension and Tomlinson (very reluctantly) to play on McKay. 

There are about 7 players who you could drop after the last two weeks, but it’s unlikely to happen. Especially with Casey having a loss.

Tomlinson in is a must

Please god no.. If we’re playing Tommo we might aswell just fly the white flag. 

 

The blues have a great list on paper just as we do.. And are as out of form as what we are. Anyone’s game. Certainly a lot less confident as I was with the game today. Doesn’t bode well..

You want to bring in Petty on one foot to play on Curnow/McKay? If you’re happy to go with May on McKay and Lever on Curnow or vice versa then don’t bring another tall in.

I would prefer Lever to go back to that intercepting role. I saw him get dragged to the wing numerous times yesterday leaving us a tad vulnerable inside defensive 50.

Outs

T Mac ( Never to play again! lost any mobility he had)

Van Rooyen (Back to Casey) not ready

Chandler ( Run outa Gas)

Either any of Nibbler, Spargo, Mc Vee, Harmes take your picks

Inns

BBB ( should have been straight in weeks ago 351 career goals still offers more

Joel Smith ( playing forward at Casey, deserves a crack)

Taj Woewodin ( consistent at Casey time to debut)

Tomlinson ( 3rd Tall on back of consistent Casey form)

Hunter ( returns from suspension)

Coaches on notice !! Stale ideas aint working time to think outside of the box

ANB had a couple of bad Nibbler moments but his tackling was excellent all day and it’s hard to say we don’t need that desperately. So many of his turnovers come from being in a side that makes it very hard for the player to know what to do given the lack of cohesion.

ANB tries his guts out. And i love him for it. He's a top-class character.

Ball in hand he is the worst player in the league. Yesterday was pathetic. I can't believe his tackling and effort is enough to compensate for his inability to handball 3 meters to a teammate. As soon as he got the ball the passage of play broke down. Every time. there has to a better option

Who runs with Curnow? It’s not Lever and May doesn’t have the agility. Tommo will get a bag kicked on him.

 

Mate im relieved we actually have two decent forwards to focus our efforts on. Will work to our advantage given that's all they focus on when they bomb it up forward.

Maybe I need to watch the replay but he laced out Fritsch/Spargo with the best inside 50 kick of the day and they spoiled each other. He also had a lovely release handball to Tracc on the wing, that’s just 2 I remember 

To me he wasn’t worse than the display of butchery Harmes had. Or Spargo or Chandler

Knowing our luck Matt Owies or Jesse Motlop will probably kick 3 each 😂


Is Hibberd any chance to miss through injury? Looked to hobble of the ground near the end of the game.

Our forward line needs to be a priority imho.

Spargo has been a favourite of mine since he started.  A clever user of the ball and timely goalsneak. I do think at this point, he just doesn't get enough of the pill.

That would be very, very displeasing.

Got it more than lots of his mates 

He is one of the very few that is capable of creating and hitting a target 

I’d be waving bye bye to others before him

  • 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.

    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.
