I just think another big bodied mid is needed whilst we don't Oliver and Viney is copping a battering.

Much appreciated, Dazzle for all the input.

    Tomlinson maybe, but there was nothing in Melksham’s game tonight that looked like an AFL return. Got silver service and added goals in junk time 

    There's an interesting nugget among that bucket of opinion.  You might not lije Milkshake but he has and can make something of nothing.  Ar times he can be that one to pick the ball outof the air 40 out..and yes sometimes theyre in the junk zone of quarters.  Tbh...thats fine by me as we are very poor , imo, at capitalising on those periods.

    Could Melksham come in for ANB? I know Goody won't do it but something has to change 

    This should be a MUST.

    No. Disposal way off.

    I've been thoroughly opposed to Dunstan getting promoted on the back of his disposal. While he can certainly find the footy, his disposal, for the most part stinks and stops him getting a gig. Last night though, he was spot on for the 90% of the game I saw. If he could keep that up he'd get games (Jeez he'd be handy as a sub with Oliver out) and I'd love to see more of it.

    Thought Benny Brown was moving well last night. Worked hard up the ground and took a few good contested marks. He'd be my in next week.

    Thought Spargo was poor. His body language was disappointing and didn't put a performance in that screams of someone desperate to get his spot back. He can stay at Casey for the next 4 weeks based on last night's performance. 

    Vice versa on Harmes. This is his level now. Few attempts at don't argues and then just butchers going forward. Woewodin and Dunstan would be my first preference ahead of him.

    Thought Daniel Turner was super last night. Just cleaned up off half back and marked everything that came his way. Poor kid would be getting a game elsewhere in the AFL.

    Will Varrell has something. Don't know what it is, but his leap and timing was impressive.

     Re Spargo, cannot see him getting back in the side!

    He’s a genuine midfield forward and we are deficient in both areas at the moment.

    *apologies for the lame set-up and joke, felt funny at the time and is sort of an inside joke as my partner, who isn't a native English speaker, speaks English far better than I do.

    Can anyone explain why Shannon Neil was awarded a free at the 24 min mark of the third when he went up against Deakyn in a 1 v1??

    Deakyn had front berth and both hands went up for the mark?

    Incredible.  Lucky Neil's kick for goal was only a minor.

    If anyone can think of a reason after reviewing it i'd genuinly be interested in your thoughts.

    Dunstan's kicking was certainly a coin flip in this match but he did pull off a ripping 40 meter kick lacing out BB on a lead into the flank at the 2:40 mark of the last from just forward of wing.

    The sealer for this match actually came from some nice work at ground level from Jefferson to Bill to Melk for an around the corner (7:30 in the last).

    Shannon was singing "What About Me" at the time and the foolish umpire fell for it.

    Pretty good effort by Jake Melksham to kick 4 goals for the Casey Demons. Worth another sneaky chance to play in the senior side?

    Perhaps he will get to play 100 games for Melbourne after all?

    Very clever forward craft exponent.

    He finds space on his opponents when others often struggle.

    Takes the odd decent contested mark.

    He rarely misses from within range (say 30 - 40 max).

    I'd take him ahead of Spargo or Chandler at this point given his Casey form, experience and ability to finish off the good work up the field.

    That's not to say Spargo or Chandler can't get back to some decent goal kicking form themselves at some stage.

    However at this point, in terms of potential to finish off other's good work in front of goals, Melksham's presently a fair way ahead of those two imv.

    Best to watch the first half Sydee. 

    Most players were a bit off in the third vs the 1st half as Geelong upped their effort & pressure significantly.

    Contested aerial work, lead efforts, 2nd efforts at ground level, Ruck work up forward, a few Marks inside 50, goal efficiency and work providing an outlet up the ground should see him coming straight in.

    4th quarter was quite good also although not quite as busy/involved as his first half.

    I wish I could argue on the basis of his stats but I didn't see the game so I can't really insist otherwise. Cheers.

    • 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.

      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.
