    Not concerned, the extra two weeks off will make him cherry ripe for the rest of the year. Was more worried he would come back on a wet cold day and hurt the hammy again.

    Some things were meant to be YTD.

    I'm of the same thinking here that this might be a bullet dodged and also allows him to come back with no soreness & cherry ripe.

    I’m kinda relieved Clarry is out. Missing two weeks with a hammy is always a worry. take another 2 weeks off Clarry and get yourself right

    Hope the boys draw inspiration from Neal Daniher’s talk to them.  We have a few big outs but so do they. So we have no excuses 

    Every time the opposition is near or has the ball, the plan should be very simple- pressure, pressure, pressure. No easy gives, no easy gets. GO DEES!!

    In - Hibberd

    Out - Bowey

    Sub - Melksham or Jordon to replace Harmes in that role.

    Not convinced a 5 possession game from Joel Smith should be enough for him to stay in the side in such a big game, but expect him to stay.

    Surprised the teams are announced on Sunday evening rather than Saturday evening.

    Well if you dont have Smith then BBB MUST play, rememembering Melksham missed Casey last week

    Clarry's a big loss. But hoping I read this stat line on Tuesday morning

    Petracca 34 disposals, 16 contested, 7 clearances. 3 goals. BOG.

    Oh, and joint equal favourite $4.50 for Bronwlow.

    Sucks Clarry will miss. With DeGoey and Sidebottom out, it would’ve been a rare opportunity to take control of the midfield. That’s harder now. 

    Carlton are a highly ranked centre clearance side and we smashed their midfield. We'll be OK

    5 days in hospital no doubt on a drip with a badly infected foot is way more serious than the hammy injury. Pleased that the club is managing him conservatively. 

    Dunstan should return this week but isn't at 100% as the initial diagnosis of MCL missed the PCL injury also there. Would love him in but not this week.

    As for Abbey Gelmi ... no idea what her claim to fame might be.

    She used to read the sport for 7 News in Melbourne on weekends. Also co-hosts various sporting coverages such as the Olympics. Is also the great Herb Elliott's granddaughter.

    No to Laurie yes to Woey. I dont think we can win without Clarry! WCW whats your mail on Clarries foot ?

    It’s definitely not the hammy. It’s the blister. The infection is under control but they don’t want him playing until he’s 100% right with a view to the pointy end of the season. 
    Btw, I found out last night that he wouldn’t be playing. There was no way I was gonna divulge anything on here, for obvious reasons. I didn’t wanna be the cause of a group-conniption. 😁

    PS bloody Clarrie! Didn’t even tell his family he was in hospital. Michelle and Steve (his parents) only found out when they saw it on the news! 😂


    To all the people the player this down initially remember what happened with Michael Hurley at Essendon who also got an infection from a blister which ended his career

    No Clarry and no Petty for the most important H&A game of the season. Typical rubbish Melbourne luck.

    Ease up there. Hurley was at the end of his career, and so once he missed an entire year and lost so much weight and conditioning it was always going to be hard to come back.

    Clayton had an infection, and is due to come home Sunday - which indicates that medically he’s progressing well.

    Let’s not catastrophise. He’ll be back in 2 games.

    Carlton are 14th on the ladder and their midfield is ranked 18th for turning contest into score. Collingwood are top of the ladder and have a drastically better performing midfield. They’re barely comparable at this stage and we’ve really got our work cut out for us this week.

    I’m expecting a 3 goal loss but would pick this game above all others in the H&A season to win!

    Would be great time for Demons to have a win against the Pies  without Oliver!

    Sidebottom and De Goey are big outs for Pies as are Oliver & Petty for Dees.

    Hoping that Pickett sticks with younger Daicos whenever he is in our forward half.

    Demons need high pressure, tackle hard, honour the leads of our forwards and to kick accurately at goal!

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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

      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.
