    Give Oliver another week off to be extra cautious. 

    It's North.

    Sparrow comes in for Woewodin. 

    Woey has had 4 games at AFL level and played in some big games. He'll use this as a great sounding board heading into pre season in what it takes to play 4 quarters of footy.

    Happy with his development and think he'll be a classy player.

    This may sound dumb to some people but I would give Max a rest for the week and play Grundy. Just keep him interested. Also after todays game max almost deserves a break.

    If Oliver fit along with Sparrow then Harmes and JJ out.

    North making West Coast look good at the moment, they better not pull a game out of their [censored] next week.

    I mean, rebounds happen and all that, but there's only so far you can stretch the elastic.

    If we avoid injuries from now on we’re completely unstoppable. 

    Hibberd for Woewodin as well.

    Very much agree. It's an obvious move and one we complained about when not made last year.

    A harder decision would be resting May and playing Tomlinson and Smith down back.

    I'd give Schache a go as sub simply because he covers back and forward and ruck (not fantastically well perhaps)

    Harmes, Hibberd, Spargo Jordon Woewodin... I'll leave to the selection committee

    I say bring him in because is it North. A soft opponent so we won't be compromising our chance of winning the game by easing him back in against them.

    I'd be resting Viney for Dunstan this week. He's been a battering ram for 5 weeks and copped another big stinger today that troubled him.

    Get him primed for Carlton

    They won't bring Oliver back vs North Melbourne in 12'C in Tasmania you'd assume.

    Full credit to the radio commentator on 'AFL Nation' for making West Coast v North sound like an epic contest setting the clouds on fire.

    I was amazed Hibberd wasn't brought in to play on Dusty today. Dusty destroyed us for 3+ quarters and Hibberd has kept him quiet in the past. Hibberd had 32 disposals playing for Casey earlier today.

    Love to see Dunstan get rewarded, would be an upgrade on Jordon.

    Would only be an upgrade if he played on ball full time, which means Harmes would play half forward full time.

    At this stage Harmes and JJ are at least maximising their tanks and minimising their many mistakes (to a large but not overwhelming level) by rotating heavily.

    Having watched Casey today, have no qualms bringing in Hibberd.

    Ultimate team man that does team first things all day long.

    Even at 3/4 time huddle was giving his two cents worth.

    Woey to have a spell, or Jordon.

    Hibbo probably should’ve played but his Casey game last week was prolific without being clean and in control. Haven’t seen his game this week but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was still short of a run. He had a serious injury and he needs to be at his peak to perform. 

    4.3 to 1 point in the final quarter and still losing to the abjectly bad last placed team.

    Gonna be a long flight home across the Nullabor for the Kangaroos.

    Now I'm trying to figure out if percentage could matter at the bottom of the ladder.

    Hmm... West Coast have scored 150 fewer points than North and conceded almost 300 more. It would take a few almighty beltings for North to drop that much.

    I for one endorse the Demon's heading down to Launceston and making the wooden spoon race interesting.

    Tankathon by North. Cant be winning when you want a PP now hey.

    Unfortunately Casey have (yet) another bye next weekend so whoever's not playing for Melbourne won't be playing for Casey. I assume they'll play another scratch match against one of the other Clubs who also have VFL Byes.

    • 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.
