It’s a joke, so at this stage of their careers Brown & Melksham are a better bet than Van Rooyen

FMD!! At least the Ashes are on

    Still making mistakes at the selection table. Petty forward, Tomlinson in, Grundy out would be better for balance. Good sides this year are going smaller more mobile.

    So no Van Rooyen and Neal Bullen keeps his spot. We are under the roof. wouldn't you want to see how Van Rooyen and brown work together? 

    Why have 2 genuine two forwards when you can have one and a resting ruckman who hasn't played forward his whole career and another who can't kick straight and get in the way of the genuine forwards

    Can’t see why anyone would be complaining about Spargo in. He can find and hit a target and is our best I50 kick by a country mile. Just needs to get the pill …

    Suprised no dazzledavey named, calling most our players useless I reckon he’d have a better go.

    Sensible changes. Spargo is no worldbeater but unlike Chandler is adept at finding space in the forward 50 and has good disposal skills. Woewodin has earned a start and Jordon will surely be a huge improvement on Harmes. The bad news about Oliver has opened the door for Jordon to prove he is worth persevering with. Van Rooyen for BBB is probably the only other change that might have been considered. At least we now know that Goodwin has apparently decided that Petty's place is definitely in the backline.

    My god. The whinging. School holidays has killed the spirit of some of you lot.

    I’ll be there on Saturday night supporting the club that’s given me some of life’s most memorable moments.

    Get to the ground. Support the Dees.

    He is not playing as he goes against all the team rules. He leads at the ball and kicks straight. That will not get you a game in our forward line, will be lucky if we don't de-list him.

    It’s rest compared to AFL

    With Woewodin and JJ as ins (and only one mid out), it definitely spells a mid going forward for longer periods. It obviously won’t be Viney, so that leaves Trac or Sparrow. They can definitely both rotate at half forward and make an impact. 

    What concerns me is the lack of reliable goal kickers. Ben Brown aside, where are the rest of the goals coming from if Kosi doesn’t have a great game (and form isn’t on his side)?

    I’m all for playing to the ground conditions (would have been good to see that the last two weeks), but we don’t really give any forward mix a real go consistently.

    Smith in for 3 weeks, two of those weeks played in awful conditions. He wasn’t amazing, but he also was not giving us less than Melksham has, and is certainly much better defensively.


    This can’t be the forward set up we think we take to September, unless we are very confident Fritsch will be cherry ripe for finals, Gawn will start delivering up forward, and Ben Brown is going to return to 2021 form. Long reach there.

    A rest from what ? It'll be a very long rest come September if we lose this one.  Lose  and its pretty much over when you look at our games coming up this month.

    This. Subbed off against the pies with 6 touches, subbed on against the cats and got 2 - not sure how he got to the front of the queue.

    • 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.
