Gonna be an ugly game. We are still 6-7 weeks away I reckon from looking like even remotely decent imo. If I'm a betting man, Doggies at $2.65 is ridiculous good odds here.

 

And Laurie is luckier than a shizzenhuisen carters top hat in an arctic blizzard!

Hore and Pickett named on the field, so my take is:

Pickett for Spargo

Hore for Bowey

TMac for Tomlinson

Fullarton/Brown for Schache

 

Leaves the bench as Salem and Laurie (with TMac and Fullarton/Brown). And Billings as sub. And Woewodin, Tholstrup and Brown/Fullarton as emergencies.

 

You can raffle the last bench and sub spots between any of Laurie, Billings, Woewodin, and Tholstrup.

But I can't see us making 6 changes, so reckon Laurie, Billings it is.

Almost certain there was one hanging over him the entire match last week.

Laurie has a stinker.  Laurie stays in.  
 

Tomlinson did everything right. Composed. Beat his opponent.  Tomlinson is dropped. 
 

Like about 69,999 other MFC members … I’m very confused.

They reckon he's cooked Binno!

In what sense?

Injured or lost interest?

Is there a scenario where they bring in Brown and Fullarton? Fullarton to play Ruck to give Gawn a rest and to ensure we have two tall forwards at all times? Or is that too tall? 

So for me, that would be Pickett, Hore, Brown, and Fullarton in for Bowey, Tomlinson, Schache and Laurie. If Lobb, Naughton, and JUH are proving too tall we could look to play Max behind the ball more and use Fullarton in the ruck forward of centre.

Possible. I can't see it because e haven't tended to make those kind of opposition specific changes, but I could see how it would be intended to work.

AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE IN PLAYER MANAGEMENT GOODWIN🤯😵‍💫

Agree I thought Tommo was one of our only winners last week - very strange

Pickett you owe us

Tomlinson dropped.  I thought he did better than lever

He absolutely did - Lever would need to have a good game 

Tomlinson stiff to be dropped if it was only about form. The problem  is the match up on any of their 3 talls looks highly concerning. 

He not quick enough, non nimble enough for Naughton or Ugle Hagen and Lobb would get him on the lead as well as giving him trouble up the ground and in the air.

100 percent with you on this.

It's a poor signal.

Woe will emerge as the surprise packet this season IF he's given a decent chance to find his feet.

Has some serious AFL worthy talent. 

Just needs to bring the work rate now.  If he can bring it he'll usurp the likes of Spargo, the two Bills & Chin.

Tommo must have ran over Goody's dog. He was far from our worst last week

TMac for Tomlinson

Except Tommo played well and Tmac' s last two he couldn't get near the ball.

Really feel sorry for Tommo.

Not the first time he's been dropped after a good game either.

Shocking team selection !

And another game gifted to Laurie.

Not necessarily.  He's one of the possibilities for the bench but the final 23 is yet to be confirmed.

I don't think he deserves to hold his spot BTW.

Tomlinson is vanilla, TMac isn’t even a flavour, he’s finished, as is Brown, I can’t believe we’re still scraping that barrel, personally I find it embarrassing for the club. Dogs by 6 goals

i'll go the opposite route - i don't think tomlinson should be in our best side and i have more faith in plugger mac as a defender than i do tomlinson

I have about as much faith in plugger Mac as a seagul saying no to a chip because its lent!

Tom McDonald is hanging on by a thread … his body cannot sustain another year.  

Tomlinson kept Lobb to 2 marks and 0 goals in the corresponding game last year so ofcourse we go ahead and drop him for this one.

  • 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.
