Second spot is well and truly up for grabs. Cannot understand the calls for resting players.

    I can only imagine the players are in fantastic nick, relatively speaking for August.

    You wouldn't imagine Goodwin and company would be that stupid to allow history to repeat.

    Agree unlike this time last year where we were clearly running out of gas and declining. We are the opposite this year

    Tomlinson, Woey out

    Sparrow, Smith in

     

    Glad Petty retains his spot on the bench 😂

    Jordon and Harmes the two clear players fighting for their spot in this side.

    People forget how crucial Hibberd was for us earlier this year, hopefully he is the sub.

    Harmes very lucky. I’ll say Taj doesn’t set the world on fire but he also doesn’t burn himself like Harmes does. Tomlinson is also stiff I reckon. The super sub was working, no reason to change that IMO

    I'm looking forward to seeing Smith play a full game. Hopefully he can do what he usually does in 1 quarter do it for 4.

    Harmes played quite well last week

    19 possessions 4 clearances & 4 tackles

    So rightfully rewarded by the MC

    If he'd kicked 2 of those 3 shots on goal most would be screaming his praises

    All players make errors, DJ

    Fair enough selections, Tomlinson was very poor last weekend & Woey will be good but not up to it yet.

    Harmes was good & would’ve been in the best players had he converted & kicked two goals

    JJ is doing his job while Clarry is out

    While I agree, the club might feel that Smith needs to play a full game. With no Casey game this weekend, this is the only option. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Tomlinson is the sub.

    Purely on form Michael Hibberd "deserves" to be the sub for this game.

    Although, there could be a sneaky chance that Simon Goodwin pulls a surprise and makes Brodie Grundy the sub to give Max Gawn a bit of a rest in the game.

    I guess we shall wait and see what happens? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Glad Joel Smith is getting a full game.

    Deserves it big time.

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

    He got belted a few times against Richmond.

    Clashed heads with Ivan Soldo.

    Fell over a few times. But that's footy.

    Got poked or scratched on the eye in a ruck contest.

    You could even see the scratch on his eye/face when Max Gawn did a post-game interview.

    Obviously, AFL is a contact sport and you gotta be tough. But I still consider that "a bit banged up".

    I wouldn't be feeling the best after the game. Although a win takes away the pain.

    I'm wondering if we are setting up Grundy to come in sooner or later as a type of utility

    Good to see Smith get a full game as he can play a variety of roles forward or back or as a type of link

    I reckon Grundy could play a similar role (but not the same role) as well as a bit of rucking

    I’d say Gawn is absolutely cherry ripe. Not sure a scratch is classed as banged up but hey you might be in your 20’s

    I wish I was still in my 20's! 🤣

    Anyway, I agree with you. Max Gawn actually played better after getting belted.

    A hot shower and few cold beers after the game and I'm sure he was fine.

    • 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.

      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.
