Verrell doing warmup drills with the talls. Will keep an eye to see if heโ€™s in the main group for the rest of training.ย 

Will be keen to hear how he is progressing - can he play the role they had earmarked for Fullerton ?ย

Petty chronic foot issue, McAdam canโ€™t get on the park consistently and Melk not available EQUALS our forward line being as woeful as it was last yearโ€ฆ in brighter news my MFCSS is training the house down

But we do have that everloving SHAACKY ATTACKY In reserve, raring to go!

If decimated is reducing something by 10 percent we have been more than decimated this preseason!ย 

So Petty, McAdam, BBB, Melk, Salem, Fullarton, Clarry, TMac and Hunter are all injured in some form!

Faaaark!

Clarry doing drills with McQualter. He was leading toward Mini zig zagging before running straight at him to mark the ball on the lead.ย

Clarry back doing drills with McQaulter separate from the main group. Mixture of short passes, handballs or ruck taps from Mini ending with snaps at goal from Clarry.ย 

I know it's more likely to be just part of his program to get back to the main group... but I'm hoping these snippets reflect a focus on building his forward craft.ย  Last year revealed we can survive without him in the midfield and I think (as others have commented) he has enormous upside to pinch hit forward.ย  ย He's shown signs earlier in his career and has the odd game (often in Adelaide) where he kicks 3 or so.ย  But if he was able to regularly hit the scoreboard (and probably tidy up his disposal consistency) then it would elevate him to the best in the comp (and probably make us the team to beat in the process).

For a โ€œruckmanโ€ he has very clean skills. Doesnโ€™t look awkward at all. Good mark. Havenโ€™t seen too much in game stuff from him so can only go by limited viewing at training.ย

TMac just in a training singlet joining the rehabbers. He was doing warmup drills with the main group. Is wearing runners not boots. Hoping itโ€™s a similar situation to Petty not training last week as part of a scheduled de-loading week.ย 

He is leaning against the fence so doesnโ€™t appear to be doing rehab.ย 

Just to confirm,does it look like his runners have concrete insoles as well?

ย 

So a potential round zero forward line missing Petty, Pickett and McAdam (if his fitness isn't up to scratch)

ย 

HF ANBย  ย JVRย  ย  Spargo

F Fritschย  Schacheย  ย Chandler

And our forward line will be even smaller when Schache or JVR relieves Gawn.

That Kozzie suspension willย  punish us for the Sydney game. He could've made the forward line his own based on what we saw in the second half of the Carlton final.

Maybe they have no choice but to start T Mac in the forward line after all.

whos Mini


I think we're all mostly happy with Tmac moving down back for depth. But with such concerning injury clouds a month out from season up forward (Petty, McAdam, Melk, Jefferson, BBB) We might have to re-consider.

As picket fence suggested there is always Shache...

Touch wood our defence is looking in outstanding shape heading into the season in terms of options, so we have the luxury of putting T Mac in the forward line to start the season.

Not ideal but T Mac could still be capable of a 3-4 goal game at his best.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

    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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
