As others have mentioned. This is a great test for our forward line. 

Brambles has played 30 games

Coffield has played 50 games

Khamis has played 10 games. 

It's a great test because if our forward line isn't able to win one on one match ups, find separation and take marks against this lot I'm not sure when.

    Tmac and BBB. Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.

    Laurie, Schache and Spargo out doesn't raise anyone's eyebrow, and Bowey of course is injured.

    Tomlinson I can't quite agree with it. Searching for the panel's perspective all I can think of is that they looked at the various tall opponents they might put Tomlinson on;

    Ugle-Hagan - too mobile

    Lobb - too big.

    Naughton - too strong

    English - too big, too strong and too mobile

    But how that translates into Hore and McDonald, I don't know.

    Still, I'm thrilled for Hore and between him and McVee I expect we'll see a tribute match to each half of Michael Hibberd's career!

    Not sure about all those changes, and not using Fullarton, seriously though Tmac must have impressed some folks to make cut.  I can understand BBB but I really hope Tmac has a good one, we need him to.

    Who on earth is sub out of this list though?  Hope not Billings again I want him to play a full game dammit.  Probably either him or WW2 surely?  Maybe Tmac??

    Hope BB and TMac have good games but gee it leaves us vunerable if they both play poorly.

    Five changes for round 1 is a clear admission that we royally stuffed up the opening round team.

    Hopefully we never see Laurie, Schache and Spargo again. Chandler very lucky as well, but I have no idea what Tomlinson did wrong.

    Chandler has been lucky for a long time now. He played well in the first 8 -10 games then has dropped off something chronic

    Changes needed, chorused all the post-Sydney critics.

    Changes we duly got, and still no one seems happy.

    But apart from Tomlinson, rather unluckily omitted, and Fullarton, what other fringe players have staked any sort of claim?

    For TMac and BBB this is probably the final chance to show us whether they still have what it takes to compete at AFL level. I for one hope they prove the grumblers wrong.

    So far it has already been a good week anyway, with Collingwood going 0-2.

    It's true.

    I'm not too fussed with the changes, I've got a "The best revenge is to live well" attitude as a Dees fan right now.

    Hope T-Mac or BBB bags a hatful.

    And can you believe we lost to Sydney last week when they had their own 3 best midfielders out

    Adams 0 games for Sydney 

    Mills who rarely played through the middle unless needed to run with someone played more off half back

    Parker was a very very good midfielder but Warner and Guiden have been there 2 best mids since early 22

    But Kane Cornes was pushing the best mids out agenda and many bought it. If you watch footy and Sydney’s evolution you would realise how deep their midfield went

    They made the pies look second rate tonight

    Aside from Tmacs two final performances, I think the issue is we have seen Tommo play in a real game and he was one of our better players so he shouldn't get dropped. 

    I am not opining on Tmac vs Tommo really but merely commenting  on your criticism of Tmac. I think he will be fine based on his to match form and training. Tommo was not in any way responsible for our loss but like Laurie is a whipping boy at selection. 

    Here’s hoping for a real team effort on Sunday. Go Dees.

    Gives us a little better recognition after the Pies assassination. We stood up till our legs ran out of gas.

    Yeah everyone gets filthy when they’re dropped but his level of filthiness was: ‘what am I even doing here/I want to leave’ 3 months after he was dropped.

    • 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.

      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.
