Blake Howes seemed to be walking fine after the game.

Thatโ€™s good. He is developing nicely and pressing for a chance.

As Tommo played the game out, I assume Petty is also ok.

I liked Adams game, even though his opponent got a few goals, though maybe not his fault with a soft free on one. Thought he was starting to look assured. He has a beautiful kick on him too. Could be ok in the future.

    I thought Tom Freeman 67 for Casey played well today. Does anyone have info on him, his age, size. Looked very composed in the backline? Would he be worth a rookie spot next year?

    EH this article from theย  MFC website archive may provide some illumination.

    I like the look of Verrall. Heโ€™s going to take time but he moves and thinks like a footballer, which is rare for young rucks.ย

    Broke his left wrist in a training mishap

    Yes, I had a talk to Disco at the game. He's out for around 8 weeks having had surgery to repair a fracture in his wrist. I didn't know he had also damaged some ribs that he has been hindered by. He said it will be good to get that healed properly during his time out. Seemed pretty confident he would be back in time for finals. In another piece of interesting news I overheard Richo talking to Choco saying it was the best game he has seen AMW play. Seems to be coming along nicely.

    Nah this is a [censored] take.

    To play 100 games at two different clubs is a rare feat now days.

    A nice little acknowledgement would have been nice still. Takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice to get to that position and he's given the club fantastic service over the years.

    ย 

    Not sure what a post about Melksham is doing under the Casey thread but I agree it should have been acknowledged by Melbourne. Importantly it means his children are now eligible to play for Mebourne under Father/Son, Father/Daughter rulesย ๐Ÿ˜€

    He is certainly quite mobile and has a good leap - he was well beaten in the ruck by a much stronger opponent - the strength and knowledge to counter that will come with one or two more pre seasonsย 

    Every game he gets through given his delayed start this year is a bonus in terms of his developmentย 

    I think he has potential to be a good ruck / forward given timeย

    Adams - Agree it was one of his better games - he managed to take a few marks and his disposal was very solid. He will get better when he gets more used to playing against bigger bodies and builds some additional strength. Another pre-season will do him a lot of good.

    Jefferson - one of his quieter days and he didn't hit the scoreboard. I am still not sure he will make it at AFL level however he did take a couple of a good marks in Q3 that suggests he does have potential. I'm living in hope that with another couple of seasons he will muscle up and possibly even become our version of JUH. I can still remember Jamarra's early games where he looked pretty timid and anything but a key position forward. Fingers crossed and I hope he spends a lot of time in the gym over summer.ย

    Jefferson is ok and should make it with physical development, while Adams is improving each week and looks a chance.

    Jefferson's physicality is slowly improving.ย  Throwing himself in to some heavier contested marking now.

    He's clunking the odd one here and there.

    Even the best drop a number of these at times.

    Hopefully he's using the grippo plus his hands / confidence should improve over time.

    Another off-season and we should start seeing something pretty special on the horizon at some point in 2024.

    Fingers crossed as he's a nice mover and decent in front of goal when he's on.

    Very natural and relaxed with his set shot.

    Can see him as the medium sized tall that drifts across and in front of packs at times a la Fritta and the Duke.ย  Hopefully a much better kick at goal than Earl.

    • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
