    We've selected 6 marking "talls" if you count Fritsch and I do. We can play 3 forward and 3 back if necessary.

    Ah yep, slipped my mind, I was just replacing Melksham with TMac in my mind. Still don’t think we are that tall and as you say seem balanced. Also Smith can go back at a moments notice.

    T Mac or Smith will play back IMO.

    The last time we went small in defence with the May/Lever/Hibberd combo was the Freo loss. We rectified this by bringing in Tomlinson the next week against Carlton in order to have a recognised third key defender. And the results have seen us with a 10-3 record with either Petty, Tomlinson or Turner as the key third defender.

    I have no clue why we’ve abandoned this proven formula other than they’re  playing Smith down back tomorrow.

    Because it's gonna rain mate. That completely takes away our intercept ability in the air and also helps nullify their talls in the air.

    Wow! What a refreshing listen.

    Looking forward to hearing a lot more from Phil.

    He was insightful, but he's less inventive than me with his vocabulary.

    Posted this on the ticketing thread but no takers, so here it is again.

    We are falling like flies.  I too am sick and can no longer go.  Ticket is Q54 row A seat 11.  Please someone enjoy it! No cash needed.  I believe the seat is under cover!

    Really pleased to say that my ticket has gone to someone who has had a tough week and is extremely grateful.  Please demons, don't make this persons week any tougher.  Bloody win!

    Actually don't have issue with Hibberd returning to be honest.

    Being of an expense of a tall forward is my biggest issue though. We've gone from a system that has completely worked to the most where all purely numbers back to what they were in 2021 to now potentially throwing that put of wack.

    Mate, you spent 3 days saying he was finished, he wouldn't be back in, he was a terrible human and should be sent to Azkaban. And now you don't have a problem with him returning? lol you funny guy.

    Considering how the weather got worse as the week gone by I took into consideration that maybe perhaps they'll do the change purely to add more run. With that in mind I had him as a potential in for Smith.

    Leaving the extra tall just doesn't sit well with me but.

    Lucky we'll win anyway.

    At least he called Gerard by his name. Not enough players do that.

    I’m a little uneasy about dropping the third tall defender for Hibberd but I can understand the reasoning.

    If our midfield and forward half defensive pressure is where we need it to be, we won’t have to worry about that third tall as much.

    Best thing Hawkwind ever did was this with Lemmy

    not sure i get the reasoning. Lever has to play loose  Hibberd and Smith are not tall key defenders

    if their scoring efficiency is high every time they get inside 50 they won’t need many chances. we don’t have anyone that can get near Cox’s elbow!

    it will kill me if he is the difference

    ill be having USA USA nightmares tonight my friends

    Let's hope this performance is a lot better then his last when he got towelled up by Gary [censored] Rohan in the wet or when he played against Collingwood last year and Elliot kicked 4 on him.

    Agree. 

    We've unfortunately taken away our strengths.

    Collingwood have bene vocal that they'll target and tag Lever which then leaves May as the only tall trying to do the grunt work.

    We've finally found a defensive structure that has clicked well with the 3 talls. Our defensive numbers improved this year thr moment we implemented the 3rd tall mid way through the year.

    Nervous as I am I can’t help thinking Oliver is going to play the best game of his career

    Which will give the Pies little or no hope of winning 

    There so everyone stop worrying

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
