Been reading the WC forum on Bigfooty and Waterman  was under concussion protocols and will return this weekend.

Yeo is 50/50 but leaning towards playing.

That automatically makes them a better side.

A 6 goal win would be probably more than satisfactory.

Yeo is not playing. he is 30 with recurring groin issues. They will not risk a 2-3 weeker for a potential season/career ending. They are not challenging for the flag but more blooding the new players. 

I will be shocked if he plays before the mid round bye. 

 

WC will finish bottom 4. Bottom 4 teams should be beat by flag contenders comfortably. A comfortable win (in my definition) is 6 goals minimum. Logic is logical.

    With injuries and a few heading to Perth as emergencies we might see see Boy George back for Casey

    (We play the Lions at 11:05am at Casey)

    I would say with Turner and Van Rooyen out it would likely be McAdams and BBB into the team, unless Salem is fit and ready to go

    Is Verrall ready?

    BBB/Tomlinson could be an option but would prefer BBB and Kolt as I'd like to see him given another go before McAdam and Melk are back. 

    that being said Tommo does have a some pros

    • Can cover Defensive positions if Tmac goes in the ruck
    • Can also relief ruck himself
    • Won't need to shift Petty about as much so - Petty can get solid run up front for form etc.
    • Prefer BBB to ruck F50 only

    There have been 10 rounds less the bye

    36 quarters of football.

    in 19 of those we have scored less than 3 goals. 
    Four with zero goals

    five with 1 goals

    five with two

    and five with 3 goals 

    and every game has had one quarter where our scoring has failed for a number of reasons   Not all in the forwards.

    of course that leaves 17 that are acceptable.   About 50% players.

    But that is not the consistency of scoring for a successful finals team.  No its Melbourne for the past two seasons.

    i totally accept that we have been more successful in the past few years than ever before. But we are nowhere good enough to trouble the top 4 sides. 

    Perhaps the winning ratio of the last couple of years means I do not want to tolerate mediocrity.

    According to the Training report, Disco will join JVR as an out, with a calf injury.

    Sounding like Verall might get the call up.

    I know it won't happen but is it worth trying Tomlinson up forward and as relieving ruck? Turner has gone from black to forward. If my memory serves correctly Tomlinson played some time forward for the Giants.  Arguably Casey's best player this year. For mine nothing to lose and he might surprise.  Waiting to be shot down!

    yr looking at these numbers in isolation tho

    of those 19 where we scored less than 3, what did the oppo score?

    Kolt might be worth a go in his home state. 

    Hasn't dominated VFL but doing ok - get more games into him against lesser teams.

    Maybe even get him to tag Harley Reid as a learning experience.

    With JVR and Disco out, I think we might bring in Tomlinson and push TMac forward.

    Brown is another player we might look at in the forward line, but we really need someone to relief ruck. Can we ask Petty to be the second ruck?

    Hunter, Laurie and Woewodin (into the starting 22) are worth considering and Salem could be back.

    That's certainly a possibility.

    I would go TMac forward and Tomlinson back, albeit knowing it disrupts our defence.

    and the 16 where we scored 4 or more?


    Form is something you do not mess with, especially with T Mac.  He is killing it in defence and is no chance of moving forward unless we literally have no other options.

    Perfect time to blood Fullarton.  We are quite tall with 3 tall fwds plus Fritsch so I think we can go in with only 2 talls once one of them can ruck

    Whatever our team line up is can they all synchronise their watches.

    Ch 9 news said JvR will not be going to Perth. Last quarter (?) marking attempt fell forward and hit his head on the turf.

    And the umpires upset for the missed the opportunity to pay a free against him for dangerous marking attempt.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
