Reckon Clayton may be able to squeeze himself into the line up. For Chandler?

Bowey but not sure for who?

JJ will be the unlucky one for Clarry.

Not sure what to do with the small forwards. They are all not performing but i guess we don't have many options.

 

IN: Oliver, Petty

OUT: Spargo, Smith

Big SparGod fan but Chandler presents more upside. ANBs photographic collection of Goody ensures he remains in the 22, too.

Smith unlucky

    I reckon Spargo could be in serious trouble for his spot next week.

    Oliver and Bowery to return. Who makes way??

    JJ was the sub today.  Somebody else will have to come out of the starting 22 for Clarry.

    For mine is Spargo out and Clarry in. We are playing one too many smalls up forward who aren’t giving us enough. 

    Hard squeeze with Bowey unless we want to rest Hibbo again. 
    Petty is obviously a walk up start too if he’s fit. But he may not be?


    Tough selection week.

    A nice dilemma for the match committee.  
    Oliver the obvious in - maybe for Spargo,  or Kozzie who has been a big disappointment since his suspension.   
    Petty maybe if he is fully fit but for whom?  Both Smith and Tomlinson did ok today in their own ways IMVHO.

    In- Clarry 

    Out- Spargo

    Jordon stays sub as he couldn't have done more in it today

    Assuming Petty isn't right, but Smith did enough to stay in. 

    Bowey is very stiff but there's only so many spots in defence which looked very good today

    Clarry for Spargo.

    Chandler on thin ice but should get another go.

    Could Bowey play Spargos role in the forward line? He is similar in that he is elite by foot and cool under pressure. Can kick it further than spargo and is more likely to convert his opportunities

    Out: Spargo  In: Bowey , small forward 

    Out: Chandler  In: Oliver

    Out : Neal-Bullen  In: Petty, if available,

    Really like the Spargo for Bowey fwd swap....

    My call is Kozzie for Clarry  - he needs to refocus in the 2's.

     Petty may be a few weeks yet.....

    From what I remember seeing of Bowey as a junior he wasn’t really a natural at making play when he was at half forward or at pressuring. Looked better on the wing  

    I wouldn’t mind seeing him as the 3rd winger and a very high half forward coming up to stoppages and even as a midfielder post centre bounce.

    More of the role Nibbler 

    But I’d have to trial it at Casey first.

    Oliver, Petty and Bowey in if all available. Spargo and ANB out and 1 other but who if petty is available.

    Smith needs to stay in. Play Petty forward and keep Tomlinson back. Drop Chandler

    Kardinia Park is narrow. Our wide boundary game is suspect in those conditions. Could we rest a winger... Hunter.... for a tactical corridor player (do we have such a player) ??

    Of course. I hope Viney nails him. 
    Also they have a very hard game coming up next week. Go for the jugular Port!

    I’m going to save us all a lot of time by letting you know that ANB will not be dropped this week. 
    Carry on.

    How insane is it that Geelong have 75,000 members, Melbourne have 65,000, and they'll play at a stadium in front of 21,000 people next week? How the AFL signed off on this is ridiculous.

    It's bad for the sport. All this garbage about growing the game and you have at least 30,000 people who can't get in to see 2 top 8 sides play each other.

    I hope someone points it out to the media. It's an absolute own goal by the AFL. Move it to Marvel if you want, but move it. I struggle to think of another game where they are wilfully locking out so many people - Geelong fans included.

    I wonder whether the shape of Alphabet Stadium impacts our selection at all. Will be interesting to see. 

    I think we need to have a look at a forward line with all of JVR, Smith and Petty in it. All very good competitors so can probably let one of Spargo or Chandler make way?

    Love Bowza but not sure if he comes in immediately unless they give Pig another freshen up. Perhaps Thommo goes out to make way, with the option for Petty to swing back if needed....but I'd prefer we stick to 3 talls. 

    Oliver comes in but for who, not sure. 

    Funny how much depth we seem to have all of a sudden 🤔😅

    • 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.
