Ouch, that Roo injury is a real nut shot...😉

All our FWD hopes for this week are resting on Petty's shoulders... 😬

Might have to bring the BBB back in 

Hopefully no other changes … please no to Billings no no no 

Turner will come in for Roo. 
Ben Brown is really struggling to move out there. Adding a flight to the mix is not going to make him any better. 
Petty will have to help Max in the ruck.

Felt some minor discomfort in his adductor at training today according to Richo. They expect JvR to be available next week. 

So 4-2-6 😒

And Turner.  And Fritsch.  And Pickett.  And McAdam.  And Petracca.  And Chandler.  And so on.

Please, please! No Brown, no Billings.

I think you're right.  Though I also think goody would pick 23 Backmen of he could 😓

 

You guys are right on this.

Petty to miss (i love him as a player)

JVR is fit to play.

Salem, Pickett in the middle to help Tracc and Viney.

Gawn is a giant, the more we see of him playing and less in the media is our fortune.

A key out and a key in that hurts our chances this game.

No Roo, and umpire #22 Williamson is officiating (has no idea how to properly umpire a game, especially when the Dees are involved).

Freo have gotten the better of us the last two times, but I'd like to know why, aside from Freo being up and about for an MCG challenge,

In 2022 May went off with concussion at quarter time which threw our structure out the door as Rory Lobb of all people got the better of us.

In 2023 we went small and and forced Lever to play tall against the likes of Amiss, Tracey and Jackson and it backfired as per usual when we've gone in with a small defence.

Other than that, can anyone think what they've had over us from a tactical point of view.

They came out firing. Refused to kick long to Lever, May went off early from memory.

Dirty ball into our fwd 50 where we struggle to stop it and rebound.

Expect no different this time.

We need a first qtr as intensive as last game. But with better kicking. Freo have never played this ground so hopefully that gives us an edge.

I would think that one of Brown or Turner on the IC along with Sparrow, Hunter, McVee and Woewodin and Laurie as Sub.

 

I would go with Turner as a forward rather than Brown.

Out:  JVR

In:  Clark KENT field

Not tactics - just the ‘L’ word - or intensity of training volume and density. 👊🥩💥

And from a tactical perspective freo looked to exacerbate our increased intensity of training volume and density (my new, less triggering phrase) by speading, switching and make us chase tail all game.

May and Petty were both out in that game. We were very unlucky that night.

It was a game where a series of things needed to go right for Freo and they scored a royal flush

You're not giving Goody enough credit.

He built our brand of smashing teams in the middle and from building arguably the best midfield in the comp.

We've since changed our game style in the Chris Scott mould being less reliant on stoppage. Collingwood are the same.

Sure, defence is a cornerstone of our game, but the idea that we don't focus on contest right across the ground is a bit of a fantasy.

Turner is 2cm taller than Van Rooyen. He will have a crack in the ruck.

jvr with the media curse - was fantastic on 3aw earlier this week

nek minnit...

Link to the interview? 🙏🏻

I don't  bet of follow odds, but I winder if there has been any change since news that

(A) JVR is out and

(B) 22 is umpiring.

Stats gurus - do we have data on win / loss ratio when that biased #22 is umpiring our games compared to when he is not?

  • 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.

    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.
