Has to get the ball though.

If there is no change to the squad I would probably swap Woey for Billings.

If May comes in then Billings out, Hore as the sub.

1 goal assist and 3 score involvements, yes he needs to be better than that game.  But he doesn't waste the footy too often.  Having players like him, Langodon, ANB and Windsor all in side make it very had for an opposition side to keep up

 

You'd think the changes will be dictated by fitness more than anything. We will have been planning this out for months. Is Brown able to back up? Can Gawn go again against another pretty decent ruck in O'Brien? Is Lever's knee OK? Is Oliver's finger OK?

 

Crows terribly out of form

Should be an easy win

The Adelaide media will be out for blood this week and I expect the Crows to come with a response. But otherwise they have been ordinary thus far.

BB is super important for us. Gotta manage him though the season. Given the ridicoulous 5-day break perhaps Fullarton comes in for him. he'll provide a chop out for Maxy as well.

Fullarton hasn't done much at Casey but I understand your point on BBB.

If May returns then Petty plays forward which allows bbb to be rested possibly

Riddle me this....Petty was moved fwd for the last quarter.

Thought he was good in defence but didn't really seem to have an impact up fwd.

However our fwd structure seemed much better after he went fwd.

Not sure if it was because it stretched Ports defence or a result of our mids just lifting and getting more i50s

Ideally I want him fwd.

It's good to know that we can cover May without Petty in Hore, Lever and Tmac. 

The latter two were wonderful and I am genuinely surprised at Tmac's recent form.

Bbb as well.

We have gone from the view that anything from Tmac and Bbb is a bonus to them being prime players .

Credit to Oliver who played with one hand and played a blinder of a final quarter.

It's so exciting to have so many marking targets in Fritta, Petty, Jvr, Bbb and to a lesser extent Sparrow up fwd

Crows will be Desparate with a capital D 

they will want the win and Dees must be on guard from the start 

AFL taking the fizz … two interstate games only with 5 day break   FFS  Dees to show them the middle digit 

changes ?  
 

yes Woey to start and Billings as sub, otherwise no change 

May? I would trust the club and medical group. But it’s a big risk and I’d like to keep him to be ready for the Lions clash

Billings will be fine, a lot of our flanker types in Pickett, Howes, Salem, McVee did stuff all. It was a slog. 

He had a poor game but he had an absolute blinder the game prior so you don't get dropped. He stays.

If May comes in Hore will have to make room. There's a lot of competition down back.

Please make training a very light one.

The Afl must be taking the Fizz.

Two away games against SA teams in a row.

Throw in a five day break.

I hope we crush the Crows.

Is this the first time a club has done this?

Hi Bombay, good to hear from you.

I guess your revelling in this Spiritual day too.

The joy of being a Dees fan.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question.

 I'd guess yes but maybe the footy almanac in @jadednomore can help out.

Cheers.

It is an absolute shocking draw. I mean you couldn’t disadvantage a team anymore. 
 

Glad the team has made a mini holiday out of it for the club - it may actually end up working in our favour. 

Two years running we have played an Adelaide team in the Gather round. Big disadvantage.

Can well understand

Most of us have tried hard to forget that game

bulldogs played an Adelaide team and played the Suns in Darwin. Those losses cost them a finals spot

Good opportunity to keep a side out of form down with our stifling defence and grind out another interstate W

Of course.

Windsor doesn’t look as though he needs a rest. At his rate of improvement he’ll probably be in our best 6 at the club after next week. I haven’t seen a player come at our club come do what Windsor has. We’re a top 4 level club, and this kid comes in first year and improves the side drastically. Unless he gets injured he’ll be winning the rising star. 

Oliver made his debut in the two-point win against Greater Western Sydney at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Round 1, 2016. He was highly praised during his debut match, twenty-two disposals, with fifteen of them contested, and seven clearances from 58 percent game-time, labelled as one of the best debuts in the previous fifteen years, but yes Windsor is good, but don't forget what a phenom Clarry was.

Give May another week, no change bar injury, Would give Billings another go has had some good games, already.

Do you reckon they tagged him?

I couldn't tell, but he was so important last week, and so quiet this week I wondered if they targeted him.

Clarry just walked onto the big stage and owned it.  What a debut

sure The Duke is an amazing calm talent and absolutely no disrespect to say that Clarrys debut was a one off.

    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.
