Yep...might be a huge difference in current strategies   Goodwin V Mitchell

Hopefully Simon's topped up on those 'learnings' 

Yeah no comparison really - Goodwin a premiership coach with a 58% win record vs Mitchell a rookie coach, yet to coach finals and with a 38% win record.

I recall we beat Hawthorn 93-38 earlier this year.

Check out Jeffo's set shot routine! calm, composed,methodical and accurate!

Actually, he always gets too close to the man on the mark and kicks the ball too high 

He is still a work in progress and may be a decent player in years to come but he is nowhere near ready for AFL football this year IMHO

Petty out for milkshake

Not going on Sunday….

Not because I’m an armchair critic waiting for the next 9 games to be a Optus but I’m still recovering from foot surgery. 

God I hope we get some percentage. I feel like if we’re going to make the 8 we’ll need it in a big way.

Please upload your medical certificate.

Hopefully Petty gets up, even though we were all screaming for him to be dropped a couple of week back.

When JVR is in the ruck or on the bench we'll only have Turner as a tall forward which will mean McGovern and Barrass will mark everything.

Actually, if Petty is out, do they look at T Mac up forward and Tomlinson retained down back?

Play a smaller mobile forward line and go in lower they rebounded far to easily last time with no forward pressure

Agree, but requires more poise coming out of half back towards the arc.  A few a too slap-it-on-boot happy. 

Is this just us devoid of necessary skill, or just poor coaching..  by whoever is in  charge of this area ? We seem very unconvincing when we switch back towards the corridor as we get closer to goal.  Is this bad habit footy or lack of practice ?

I personally wouldn't move T Mac as he is playing well and is a confidence player and I wouldn't mess with that. but maybe they will.

We were too tall last week imo so I think one less tall and someone like Melksham to provide a marking target would work. Turner, JVR, Fritsch, Melk is a decent set up. We would need to not bomb it in though

Sounded from Goody's presser that Petty might miss. Which is bloody typical, whenever he shows anything his body breaks down

Goody gave nothing directly at the presser today re team selection however reading between the Goody lines, it sounds like:

In - Salem, Bowey, Melk

Out - Petty (inj), ??

normally is a newbie was to debut they would have mentioned it so I am guessing no Jeffo.

I watched his presser too - I'm not sure on Melk, I got the sense the best thing by Melk could be to start him in the 2nds.

Petty sounds the most in doubt but he said that his fitness test will come on Saturday so he could very well get up.

The coaching group sounds like they've had a good week and I've got the impression they'll be really prepared for whatever West Coast brings. Ideally if the Eagles start to wilt, we should try and get a percentage boost to help our top 8 chances.

Why? Why is that the best thing for him?

 He’s ready for the firsts, we need him in the firsts. The whole Gotta come back through Casey thing shouldn’t have to apply to everyone.

 I believe bringing him straight back in will bolster his confidence, which is already very high. It’s a show of faith. Putting him in the reserves has the risk of eroding his confidence, and confidence is gold.

I'm only trying to interpret the way Goodwin said it. I think what Goodwin meant was bringing Jake straight into the senior side might not be the best thing for him as opposed to finding form in the seconds first. I honestly don't mind what they do, but I didn't get the impression from Goodwin that it's a forgone conclusion he goes straight back in. 

I think the main thing with Melk is too give him a game in the Magoo's.

If he shows something during the game bring him off at half time for next week.

Let's be sensible with this and respect his comeback appropriately.

Training and rehab form different to game day situations/intensity.

Melksham straight back in. Good luck Jakey 

Melksham rushed back in, one last roll of the dice to push for 10th 

fantastic to see him straight back in, bummer to lose petty after a pretty solid couple of games where he looked like he was getting his touch

interesting to see if it's fullarton or milkshake into the 22 to replace petty

I feel we would have played Petty in 2022 and probably 2023, likewise we'd have played Bowey last week too.

I can't know for sure, but it does seem we won't expect guys to play through injury as they have done previously. 

For what it's worth, Melky has been named in the forward pocket rather than the extended interchange for Sunday. 🤞

    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.
