Any chance they will pick BBB, as he has been declared fit?

    I was at training at Gosches when Clarry returned to team training.He was signing autographs for kids and posing for photos.He is a people person. He loves the fans.

    At the Casey practice match, they had to shorten the kick to kick because 11 and 13 wouldn't get off the ground signing autographs. It took Claz fully 45 minutes to get from the eastern wing back over to the sheds, just yacking with fans.ย

    Probably more unlikely but I feel like Fullarton is a chance, although he would have been announced yesterday

    AFL.com.auโ€™s predicted Sydney backline;

    Lloyd. ย  ย McCartin. ย  ย Rampe

    Florent. ย Blakey. ย  Jordon

    They are tiny. And that is weird.

    Never been a fan of using a tall as a sub but on a small ground Iโ€™d be throwing everything in the height bucket against these smurfs.

    ย 

    edit. Looking a bit more closely at their predicted side, it appears the work experience kid mightโ€™ve been thrown this one.ย 

    Need to consider the flip side effect on being smashed at ground ball gets and fast transition on turnover due to going in to tall.

    For this reason long bombs wonโ€™t work as theyโ€™ll just flood numbers back and spread quickly on rebound. If we can get more separation and 1v1s in our F50 and move the ball similarly to the game last week vs Carlton, we should expose the lack of defensive height.

    A good mix inside our F50 of small and tall should still work both waysย

    Got a feeling JVR will have a good game tomorrow night, he was so close in the practice matches, leading well, getting to great spots, it just didn't quite stick for him. Against the Blues he missed a few shots but could easily have kicked a little bag. i am very optimistic he could snag 4-6 goalsย

    Would you take SVR with a mid season pick, which as a bonus, also might assist JVR to extend his contract with us.

    I feel like Bailey Fritsch gets forgotten in pretty much all discussions about potential goal-kickers for our upcoming games. Just not sure why. Heโ€™s easily our best forward, in his prime, an absolute gun, and if stays fit, will win our goal-kicking again this year.ย

    He sure is 'Webber' and one of the best forwards in the game who also gets left out of that discussion.

    Not currently but will see how he goes once the season starts. WAFL pre season matches start this weekend so may get a look at him.

    I don't just hate the Age, i hate all Media. Get that straight. It isn't because they are spiteful and horrible toward a sport that keeps them earning a living. It'sย  because they they have serious character faults, and have been overwhelmed by their own self importance.

    Woewodin is my tip for sub.

    Assuming they have to announce 5 on the bench tonight with 1 eventual sub, I'd find it hard to believe that Brown or Tholstrupp will be one of those 5 considering the confirmed debut announcements from Monday.

    Who else could be sub? Hunter and Spargo are injured. Adams hasn't been near contention.

    Surely we're not going down the path of Verral or T Mac as a sub after what happened in the semi.ย

    My insta had Kozzie kicking a goal from the race/ground access in the pocket.ย  Not even on the field, not that he can play this game anyway.ย  Freak!

    Instagram also indicates that a bunch of the players from different teams are mates off the field.ย  Brodie and Max still follow each other, I really rather doubt there's bad blood there.

    Can't get too pumped about the game, I'm a day behind and five hours ahead in my time zone, so that means I'm supposed to be catching some ZZZZs at game time.

    CARN DEES!

    • 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 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.

      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
