You would imagine so with May, Lever and T Mac in defence.

We still have smalls to contend with such as Cameron, McCarthy, Rayner and Bailey, so no need for Petty down back.

I think our forward line needs a maximum of 2 of JVR, BBB and Petty at the one time while the third player is either in the ruck (JVR) or on the bench.

 

I feel that Jvr is going to start clunking everything and kick five tonight.

She was on her second pack of fags at 5am. She’ll be coughing up a lung before the game even starts 😂

Nah, I steered clear of DL this morning; another thread on here last night being the reason. Anyways I’ll just give other threads a wide berth for now and stick to this one… until the first bounce, that is. Then it’s straight to the postgame thread to celebrate a resounding win over the Lions.

We’ve so got this it hurts. 🥳

GIVE ‘EM HELL, DEES!

Will there ever be a game I'm not nervous about?

I adopted the arrogant Hawthorn supporter psyche last week and it worked well.

MFCSS is back for this game though

Will be a tough game tonight. Despite the Lions poor record at the MCG, they've managed to beat us there in finals and then lose in the dying moments due to some individual brilliance from Melksham. Dees by 7 points.

Debut of a 200 gamer tonight. Good luck Kolt!

I won’t lie, my MCFSS would be significantly less if Pickett was playing tonight…

It's another litmus test for us even if there's more pressure on them.

We have beaten dogs and port and despite lions poor form they are still a quality side. So if we win this it's another scalp knocked off for me.

People rubbish their fwd line but it can be pretty potent. Luckily we have the manpower to shut it down.

This will be a battle of midfield for me. We have struggled a little with Oliver being kept to using one hand.

I feel confident with our fwd line even without Kozzie. Best of luck to the kolt.

And Viney.

I'll never forget him activating beast mode for that goal.

So we are implementing a new game plan, haven't quite got it going yet but are 4-1? Sounds great to me.

Indeed.

I'm most definitely in the Hoyne camp.

Hoyne highlighted that, like this time last year our above average accuracy should be factored in to any assessment of how we are travelling.

As At the break of Gawn notes Daniel Hoyne highlighted 'we’ve been losing inside 50, clearances, contested possession and we're only a middle of the road side at defending ball movement.'

Hoyne's other point was that gives scope for improvement. Which I agree with, particularly with Bowser and Melksham both available in the back half of the season.

But Hoyne didn't note that a couple of weeks back, when discussing our changed method, that Dees' fans will have to be patient as we will give up scores on turnover and make mistakes as we adjust to a different method, particularly the transition stuff.

That said, I think there is a chance those numbers are not necessarily an indication of problems.

I agree with @Binmans PA and others analaysis that we are setting up deep defensively and creating space in front of us to transition more effectively.

I dont have any data to support this, but we also seem to be more fluid in terms of defenders rolling off their man and taking different opponents.

Lever, may and tmac have been waxing and swapping opponents and zoning off super well.

And as has been the case for three years, they are brilliant at ensuring there is a player behind the ball.

It's striking how infrequently we give up walk in or out the back goals. 

But playing deep defensively means part of the method is accepting the need to absorb more deep inside 50s.

And when we win it back we are more often starting the transition from closer to the opponents goal, decreasing our chances or successfully scoring from our back half.

Perhaps the stats Hoyne notes reflect these factors.

And besides, sure we have been accurate, but we have also kept opponents, including two of last year's highest scoring sides to bloody low scores. Our defence has been incredible.

  • 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.
