Still unclear how BBB is going to get on the park for 12+ games in 2024. He was the forgotten man in 2023 with his marking, leading and accuracy. Media ignored the fact that he was out and it reduced our forward line potency.  His knee injury has been long term issue and we hope we can continue.  If not, list spots are too precious.

With a healthy Petty, BBB will be in the VFL

Be surprised he doesn't pull the pin earlier

Put a line through TMac, BBB   

Fullerton will be first in line for a call up if one of Gawn, Petty, van Rooyen go down

Jefferson may play a different role due to the forward depth we have at both levels

Verrall will be 2nd ruck to Fullerton imo

Are we putting a line through BBB or will he be in the VFL - make up your mind.

TMac was playing at the end of 2023, there's no reason why he won't start the 2024 season.

OK if Fullarton is starting VFL ruck and Verrall is 2nd ruck then he'll be in the forward line.

Jefferson is presumably the KPF future, that's why we used a first rounder to draft him, it probably makes sense to play him in that role at Casey.

That still means, like I posted - BBB, TMac, Schache, Fullarton/Verrall,  Smith, Jefferson and KFW - 7 tall forwards at Casey.

BBB should retire with TMac 

 

Fullerton, Schache and Jefferson should get first crack if injuries occur

 

As for the forward line in VFL - Smith will play down back, Verrall off the bench, Jefferson HF/Wing, Fullerton Ruck/Forward, Schache FF

  • No obvious second ruck is a worry, unless they actually view Fullarton as potentially best 22
  • Want SparGod in the side for his kicking but someone like Billings may keep him out as a higher upside option, or Goodies golden boy & future best and fairest winner in ANB
  • Hopefully we see someone like Woey or Howes keep their spot if given the chance
  • Unfortunate that there's no direct competition for Sparrow's spot with a similar type of player, hopefully that changes when picks 6 & 11 have names
  • Chandler still remains an unknown, fell away so badly that you probably couldn't put him in your October best 22...

Petty won't be lining up on a flank. Melksham will miss most of the year. Other than that it's ok.

Can someone please dm me (if it’s to be left publicly unspoken) on a reason Werridee has listed Oliver as suspended? I try to keep on top of all the news and this is the first I’m reading of it. Call me naive if you must but I don’t agree that omission of detail is directly aligned to categoric fact. 

BBB might get a look in, in the early rounds due to Smith's expected suspension (league or club imposed). That's if you consider Smith a locked in best 23 when available.

BBB actually played well in the opening 2 rounds of 2022 and 2023, and that's when he might be at his peak fitness, unfortunately.

T Mac looks finished at AFL level. If he appears in more than 5 games next year, he's either had the most unlikeliest career renaissance or our injury list is a shambles

Oliver hasn't been suspended I just think he should be. I put a topic on it before the Pert and Goodwin interview but it got taken off. I'll change it now you sorry about that.

I thought the maximum rookie intake is 8? Are you saying we can rookie K.Brown, Hore and another player?

Chandler seemed to just run out of puff after a great start to season 2023 - hopefully another preseason will see him last a good deal longer in 2024.

    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.
