Out: Brayshaw JVR Laurie

In: Turner Spargo Woey 

Turner to play forward or back if needed got nothing to lose might aswell give him a crack forward 

 

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Max had his foot stomped on and is in a moon boot. Apparently it is cautionary and he has had scans.🙏🏻

Its friday, its already on sportsbet.

Also means the prelim will be friday as itll be interstate. 

The reason is that you cant give port v saints/gws (whichll be saturday) a 6 day break into a prelim - so the pies will play their prelim on the Saturday. 

Collingwood will be playing the Friday night prelim as the number 1 ranked side, if the last 11 finals series are anything to go by.

And in 2018, Collingwood played a Friday night prelim of a 6 day break, after playing GWS in a Saturday night semi final.

 

The radical move is Max to the TMac position and Grundy to ruck. Carlton will be forced to defend against Max on the 50 allowing space to Fritsch. Make sure Chandler is at Max's feet to take the crumb or handball. Max should not kick unless he has to.

You do realize you have just caused a panic attack amongst many on here.lol


I couldn't see us losing on Thursday and now I can't see us winning.

If we kick straight, we'll win.

If we don't, we won't. I think it's that simple.

We'll win all the other stats just like we did against the pies.

I don't see Grundy helping our goal kicking. Stick with TMac rusty and all as he is. IF we can get it into his hands he's a much better set-shot.

I think spargo should come back in. I'm a big fan of his because he can deliver a pass. He might be able to find Tmac and Fritsch on the lead. He has lost his form badly this year, i acknowledge that, and has rightly dropped but jeez we need his kicking skills and I50 delivery. Worth a punt, i think.

? We lost most key stats to the blues when we lost to them. They play a similiar profile to us. Kicking straight is a start but won't be enough. 

Kick straight, stop Curnow, win clearance, and negate Weitering. That would do the job.

Yep, they're definitely bringing in Grundy.

Do we contest the JVR suspension? Try to argue a low impact grading?

In my opinion we haven’t got a hope in hell of getting him off. Ironically I reckon the ferals have a better chance with Maynard.

Work that one out!

Grundy for JVR

JJ for Brayshaw

Woey or Spargo for Laurie

Do we start Smith as Sub? Go with smaller Fwd line? He provides really gpod flexibility and a boost of athleticism late in 3rd... Can cover a key back / key fwd support a shuffle across half back or fwd


At home games when the team runs out we play the opening bars on Eminem's Lose Yourself:

Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

We let it slip against Collingwood in that first quarter of the QF and have paid the price.  It all comes down to that in this SF and beyond.

Petracca needs to play midfield with Brayshaw out.

The Casey player who has been "good" up forward over the last 6 odd weeks is AMW. It's him Woey or Spargo.

Spargo's form at Casey has been middling at best but he has finals experience.

Can't see Jordon or Laurie performing meaningful roles.

BTW... Time for Sparrow to play a blinder !!

Petracca has to play more time forward with JJ replacing Brayshaw

We need to dominate the midfield. JJ is not the answer

I meant in the form of 4 straight MCG games against teams we're favourites against.

We weren’t favourite on Thursday night 

We need to get creative. No point going with TNac and Grundy as forwards. Roll the dice with May forward and possibly Turner. Tomlinson to Curnow, sole job just stop him pack marking. Jordan your time to shine is now, show us that you are a keeper. Petracca back to the middle, all night. The first 30 minutes I want to see someCarlton players on their backsides. Play with some mongrel, don't worry about the consequences should a tackle slip a bit high. Tackle to hurt.

Waffle, we’re not playing May forward and I’m almost certain Tomlinson won’t play. We play tough, hard football every week. If you haven’t seen that already I can’t help you.

Carlton play Walsh, Cripps, cera and Hewitt out of the middle. 
we play viney, trac and Oliver. Brayshaw was our 4th. Not sure who does this job now? Sparrow?

Don't forget Brodie 'working on his forward craft' Grundy

Be funny AF if Grundy came back in and kicked 6... Whatever happens with team selection we need to belt Carlton. Dees need to make a huge statement.

  • 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.
