I think this is definitely the way to go.

Returning to "wily" plus-28 second-clubbers who at their best offer middling performance might be "best practice" when you're chugging along nicely, and clearly going to make the top 6, if not 4. We are nowhere near that. 

Sorry to be pessimistic, but the system at the moment is so broken, I can't see us winning more than we lose in the final nine games no matter who we put on the park. 

 

Congratulations to hear from so many new and varied posters. Great to have so many DOP's

 

Its good to see the coaches have finally realised its time to blood the youngsters, if you can't contend blood them.

They might actually surprise you.

Congrats to AMW, well deserved.

👏👏👏

I am a fan of AMW, as he plays in the VFL with AFL level intensity and pace. The big question mark on his game is his disposal and decision making, which is still developing.

It will be interesting to see who he replaces in the side given one of Howes, Bowey or Salem looks most likely to be omitted as a result (or K Brown gets dropped).


Liked the video.
 

I’m oddly pretty excited about this Friday. AMW has a lot of traits that translate to AFL. Haven’t seen him live for a while though so won’t pretend to know how he is really going.
 

I remember watching him at training during his 1st season participating in some tackling drills and thinking he was already one of the better tacklers at the club.

He also has speed. 🤟🏼

Just so excited to see the new kids go at it.  Not even that fussed if we get the W, just really keen now to see the new talent coming through and starting to build.

I see a very similar comparison physically and attitudinally to another indigenous player who was well loved by all Dees’ supporters, and who ironically also wore #45, Mathew Whelan .

i hope Andy’s career is as impressive as Matty’s 

 

Matty is still very involved with the club. In particular, the young blokes. He comes to training and has a great rapport with them. He actually chose to go to Fritta’s house when Fritta was drafted to personally welcome him to the MFC. He’s a great guy.

Love this vid! I especially love how he doesn’t hold back his excitement at the very end of the interview. This enthusiasm and positivity is very welcome. ❤️💙

I know and I like it. Let's be honest with ourselves that we would not be challenging the top end due to a lot of factors so why not make something of the backend. Can't keep going to the BBB, Schache, Billings well, otherwise we'll lose another Bedford or Jordan.

Totally agree inanunda I thought the same thing myself, how handy would JJ and Toby be at the moment. The coaches have certainly twigged how to get them keen and then reward them.

We've been relatively young and inexperienced all season. People are only just starting to notice.

All the following have been regulars except Tholstrup, Brown and I suppose Turner
Tholstrup (18)
Windsor (19)
Brown (19)
McVee (20)
Bowey (21)
Howes (21)
JVR (21)
Turner (22)
Rivers (22)
Pickett (23 - as of a couple of weeks ago) 

Then we have AMW who is 20, Woewodin (21) & Laurie (22).

Chandler, Petty & Spargo are also only 24.

It's a point I made before the season started ie how young our list is and how many best 22 are 22 and under.

The idea we are suddenly 'playing the kids' because we have conceded the year and are looking toward 2025 is ridiculous.

Yes the kolt ans brown came in. But apart from tracc who came out?

Laurie, who is 22.

Yeah true, showing any opposition to nicknames in Australia will only lead to worse nicknames.

Looks good laid out like that. Encouraging 😊

It would be a little better, though, with a 'Twenty-teens' feel about it, if there was an obvious Petracca and Oliver, some Jackson height and, among the young Casey tall timber, a Gawn slow burner in it.

Too much to wish for? Well, all at once, at least?

The only problem with this revelation is that the older brigade : Gawn, Viney, Langdon ,Lever, Petracca , Oliver and May are arguably our best and most important, and cannot be usurped by any of the younger brigade.

Yeah, I noticed Steven May referred to him as 'Andy Moniz' in his announcement.

I also noted in his 'phone home' vid that his Dad is 'Mick Wakefield', so I presume his Mum provides the (Portuguese) 'Moniz'? I did note, too, that his Mum will be in (formerly 'Portuguese') Timor for his debut (🙁) But that'll be another nation now following the Dees! (🙂)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
