I’ll be listening in from Athens on Sunday.

6:20am is a good time to be playing with 36 degrees predicted.

Oh … wait …

That's the Athens I know!

    It is important we don't underestimate the Kangaroos.

    However, I agree that Viney and Gawn are a bit "banged up" and a little bit of a rest wouldn't be such a bad idea.

    Where's the evidence that Gawn is a "bit banged up"? can't see it myself.

    Flying down to Hobart tomorrow for a look around and a bit of a break, game sunday home monday. Hope the boys put on a convincing win.

    Is that a long or a short wind? 🙂

    Good question, not sure of the answer, but i'm pretty sure they call it Mariah.

    Or perhaps if it's bending down to give us a rainbow, everyone knows it's Windy.

    Rule of the Week 

     

    Ahhhh. This is what absolutely [censored] me with the AFL. The roll-out of "Rule of the Week" 

    It changes most weeks, then the following week it disappears. And when they do knuckle down on one rule a lot of the time it's barely even there. It's hard to watch and I'd imagine frustrating to play against as it's relaxed the following week. The rules are already written in black and white, just do your job and umpire those rules each week without the need to escalate things. Sure, send the club a reminder each week for educational purposes, but don't go pinging free kicks left right and centre for a different rule each week. Rant over.

    If nothing else I am confident the FD have given a lot of thought to the factors that resulted in our straight sets exit last year and have plans to prevent those factors from recurring. 

    I would agree with most posters here that having our key players as fit and free from injury as much as humanly possible come Septmber is paramount. 

    Theoretically there are many ways to achieve that and it doesn't necessarily have to be through players missing games...that said I can't see why we'd be putting Gawn on a plane to Hobart if we didn't have to.

    Agree with this.

    Give Schache a go too, why not?  Rest Max for Grundy.  Other things not sure.  Oliver shouldn't play either yet.

    I really don't like the idea of Schache playing in the ones.  He has all the physical presence of wet lettuce.  We need to make sure all the players are doing what is being asked of them, or at least trying to.  He has shown throughout his career that he's a good kick but no toughness. Nothing personal against him, just don't think he's MFC material.  Would have welcomed him into the side 10 years ago, but not now.

    Similarly, Harmes needs to get out of the ones; his skills are just not up to where they need to be.  Get Sparrow in if fit or blood a young player.

    I don't mind the idea of Grundy starting on the bench and rotating with Gawn, or Gawn resting on the half back line for intercepts.

    Tomlinson should be given a go to see how he goes with an extended run.  We will need another tall down there if Petty is staying forward.  That being said, being tested against North isn't a great test for Finals readiness.

    Spargs for Woey is the only other one that really comes to mind. 

     

     

    In: Smith, Sparrow, Hibberd (Sub).

    Out: Tomlinson, Jordon.

    On the edge: Woey.

    For people going to this match are you buying tickets at the gate or buying them before you fly out?

    I emailed the club and got a response due to heavy traffic it may take 3-5 days to respond. Honestly it's not hard to reply

    I recommend contacting Demon Army for some tickets!

    I booked through them (the advance option where your register interest) but the volunteers in charge of tickets are miracle workers.  @WalkingCivilWar would agree!

    I booked through the AFL site. Go to fixture and the Melbourne game it's got a link to tickets. I book in the Ponting stand no idea about how good the sears are. I believe the ferry to the ground don't run on Sunday's so bus or taxi.

    its a small ground so imagine most seats would be more than adequate. I'm about to book tickets myself, excited onya Dees!

    Don’t get me started, DP! 😁

    An amazing bunch of people. They go out of their way every single week to try to make sure no one is left out. And ticketing is just one of many, many things they do for our Club and our fans.

    PS: see you in Hobart!

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
