My tip for the bench:

Spargo

Sparrow

Petty

Hibberd

Smith (sub)

Meaning woey, harmes and tomo dropped.

Goody isn’t making 3 changes from a win like that. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just:

In: Sparrow

Out: Woewodin

    Imagine if they drop him. Nah mate, a power FF is not what we need. Thanks anyway.

    Yeah, not certain Spargo comes back.

    Also they have to bring back Sparrow and keep someone to drop for Oliver…

    Agree he needs a hitout but it can't be at Casey. Would be great if this bloopy game was in 2 weeks. 

    They're very capable of managing player loads without games these days. Salem earlier in the year was a perfect example.

    If Petty can lockdown his forward role for the rest of the season I wonder if we will really consider going for @Pennant St Dee man Daniel Curtain in the upcoming draft. We already needed to bring in a key back to cover May. We may need to replace Petty in the backline now as well. 

    There's always Adams developing back there, but I love the sound of Curtin.

    I would hate to think of the reaction on here if Goody actually implemented some of the changes being mooted, and we went on to lose. 
    North are a poor side, but beating them in Tassie is never as easy as everyone expects. Even in 2021 they did a number on us down there before some Bayley Fritsch brilliance got us out of jail. Clarko is back too, just to complicate things even further.

    Of course I still fully expect to win but I don’t advocate resting multiple players at all. Viney (shoulder) maybe, but only if he really needs it and only if Clarry is back. 
    Otherwise, we should take this game seriously and play our best side. Percentage is another crucial factor. 
    Fortunately Goody has never really been into resting players, even our pre season hit outs are normally best available. 
    With all that said and done, I’d like to see Harmes out for Sparrow. JJ can make way for Clarry the following week. Taj will probably get caught by Spargo at some stage. And then Fritsch will squeeze in. That’s about it. 

     

    Great post, but I'm glad we're not resting Viney. Without Oliver, if we don't have Viney's intensity, already missing Trac, our midfield is decidedly average.

    When Clarry is back, if Viney is sore, you could rest him for Hawthorn, but I reckon they'll push Viney until the end of the H&A season.

    😂 the sacrificial lamb selection strategy.  “Ok JJ, you’re in this week, but next week you’re back to the scoobies for Clarry”.

    Even WORSE Spargy Pants in the squad!?? He was very very ordinary last week in the half he played! What about rewarding guys like Andy Moniz Wakefield who was sensational in a loss last! Time to reward FORM Goody!

    Because it is round 21 and there is absolutely no upside into bringing in a novice into a team that is contending for a flag. There is a process in place here bud. See Van Rooyen, Chandler, McVee. Do the time in the magoo’s, learn the system, etc, etc.

    Your dislike for Spargo is really getting very predictable, unfair and unwanted imo 

    Perhaps it’s time to not say anything if you haven’t got anything positive or constructive to add

    Spargo and Chandler plsy different roles..

    I suspect spargo comes in for Woey, who had been playing spargo's role.

    Maybe, but I think we should change what we were doing earlier this year and use the spot Woey's vacated with another midfielder, not another small forward.

    IMO playing Spargo alongside ANB, Chandler and Pickett is too much, and we're better off using that spot as another midfielder, all the more so whilst Oliver's not playing.

    Better lather up. Reckon he will start on the bench like he did last week. Goody often does this probably to mess with the opposition match up. One of our key forwards invariably starts on the pine.

    Exactly.

    As goody has said many times its not about one flag.

    It's about being in contention to win a flag for years. 

    The club has been brilliant under goofy in terms of ensuring young players are brought into the team.

    Sparrow, koz and Bowey are terrific examples. Played in a flag as kids.

    Will all be senior players in three years time.

    • 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.

      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.
