I know it's more than reasonable for you to be unable to find a spot for Schache, but if he can't get a game with T Mac, BBB, Petty, Fullarton and McAdam all (potentially) missing round 0 then he and the club should call it a day.

He's a "break glass in case of emergency" player and round 0 is looking like an emergency at the moment.

I feel as though I'm hyping up Schahce and will probably be set up for disappointment given his track record, but he's all we've got at the moment if those calf and foot injuries linger.

Tomlinson should be in defence in round 0 as May/Lever and him work well and our excellent defence is what will keep us in the game. Has Turner ever played forward?  

I wouldn't be sticking my neck out for Schache but I genuinly wish him well if picked

Who is Sydney’s main key forward? They ordinary enough for someone else to go one on one with them and try send may forward?? I don’t know, just spitballing here haha

Hah 

They have a treasure chest of tall forwards unlike us 

Hayden McLean

Luke McDonald

Sam Reid

Joel Amartey

We will need May in the backline and he will need help 

Pretty sure we won up here last year with no Melksham after half time and Fritta on one leg. Petty wasn’t there as he was injured - JVR was our main tall target

Personally I'd play a half fit Oliver in the goal square, JVR and Fritsch as marking targets , with ANB, Spargo and Schache the others. Chandler as sub to replace Schache if he fails to impact.

No way,if your not fit you dont play.Imagine the screaming if Oliver tore a hammy and missed the season

My understanding is that it’s not short term either. May be lucky to play in the first half of the season. Poor fella cannot get a clear run at it.

Are you referring to Daniel Turner possibly missing the first half of the season?

Given our forward issues, I doubt we can win in Sydney😬

They’re going through a lot of change with a new ruck and new midfield, so potentially might not be clicking R0.

Is training closed and a complete LOCKOUT ............  lost without a report or three

Yes.

So now we have reports of his hamstring, calf and groin. Amazed he can walk.

Me too! Serious groin awareness exacerbated by the running program he did when he moved over here (he had never done such a hard pre-season in his career).

I think we have reached the point where MFC supporters will count their lucky stars that we have the likes of Schache and Tomlinson on our list!

Our midfield is still amongst the best, most feared in the comp.

Our backline is blessed for wealth and depth.

Our forward line round zero, given injury concerns, should read as follows,

HF: Spargo, JVR, Billings

F: Fritsch, Schache, Tholstrup

with ANB and Chandler off the bench 

ANB should be in the pocket and Kolt on the bench.

If McAdam is fit he replaces Spargo and Trac replaces any of the mids/smalls as necessary.

His half-brother, but I don’t like that term. I have sons who are considered half-brothers and last time I checked, they’re each a whole person 😅

But only half as good as a sister :)

I come from a family of failed stage magicians.

I have a half-sister.

Jesse wold have been very handy the past 2 seasons

Any chance of a Hogan return was snuffled when GWS gave him another 2 years late last season

But I reckon that ship had sailed anyway (on reflection) 

But we couldn't have predicted all these injuries to all our talls anyway

Fair enough with Brown or T-Mac but both?  As well as Petty out and the possible forward/ruck in Fullarton out as well

And the other 3rd or 4th forwards in Melksham & McAdam are unavailable as well.  Kozzie out suspended.  Smith out for however long? 

That's 8 forwards out for round 1 and having that many forwards out is going to affect our W/L record unless we start getting them fit & firing again

And the above is not designed to take away anyone's hope as Kozzie will be back in round 2 and Petty will present fit sooner or later.  As will McAdam for a bit of X-factor

And Fullarton might be the answer to our 2nd ruck issues when his body is good to go

As Neale Daniher said around round 5 or 6 in 2007 ... "Yeah, we're a bit banged up right now" (or words to that effect)

  • 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.

  • 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.
