    Exactly how I would have gone and how I thought we'd go.

    Petty, JVR and Disco 10 minutes each per quarter.

    Happy with this and excited to see how we go with it.

    No Listed Ruckman. What an absolute disgrace.Ā

    For a club that has a Ruckman (as captain) to not even replace him is an embarrassment.

    Only thing I can think of is that we are going smaller and mobile. It makes us unpredictable etc... But unless it's going to be wet, can't work it out, unless Fullerton is injured he should be playing. I could understand thinking Verral is still too raw. But playing Petty in ruck, he'll get injured. JVR rucks really well for his height, but constantly worry he's going to get hurt in there too.

    Makes no sense, and worse it sends a signal to the other talls at our club that the coaches don't rate you.

    so no recognised ruckman - brave, foolish, or both?

    You have to agree Fullarton is NQR but hopefully this gives him the impetus to try for next week.

    I have no idea how we are going to organise the ruckwork

    TBH you could tell at Goody's presser yesterday that Fullerton was not going to get called up.

    4-5 weeks ago he was definitely trending but injury seems to have slowed him. His big plus if he can get it working is his below the knees follow up work. Dare I call him a poor man's Luke J

    No Fullerton and Verrell is genuinely surprising. Really don't want JVR in the ruck for large chunks of the game as he was superb in the forward line on Sunday.

    WCW's posts appear to really trigger and/or upset you.

    Why don't you put HER on ignore.?

    I was minding my own business and I see her post suggesting I bagged players?Ā 

    I called her out and asked me to provide evidence, which of course she didn't.Ā 

    I think that's fair enough, no? And she is now on ignore, so all will be well.Ā 

    Perhaps it's filtered into this forum over time, but it seems that those of us who have the capacity to go full spectrum with our view and opinions on the club are constantly shouted down. An opinion provided about a player 'missing too many targets' turns into 'bagging' said player.Ā 

    WCW is a fan. I'm a supporter.

    This is a forum for all views. If she doesn't agree with something I have said, she can disagree and perhaps engage in a discussion as to why she disagrees. But she doesn't, she just calls me out for 'bagging' players. She's a fan. Same as Saty.Ā

    I can't say I thought weā€™d roll with no ruck, but 100% see the logic.

    Disco took as many centre bounces as roo last week, so as you say those two and Petty can share ruck duties.

    It's going to be a bit slippery, so that negates draper a bit. But also means less scoring and therefore less centre square bounces.

    We can go to work on sharking draper exactly the same way opponents do to maxy.Ā 

    And most of all, neither verell or the fella whose name I know will misspell and face the wrath of the pedants deserve a call up on form.

    Fullers has been underwhelming and if he was selected would likely offer not much more than running with petts, roo and disco.

    And verell, who I have a lot of time for and think will make it, is not ready yet. Picking him won't give us much and might be unhelpful for his development.Ā 

    And if either verell or fullers was picked disco probably comes out.

    There is an opportunity cost factor there, and goody has said he wants the three amigos in the team.

    Interested to see how this goes. Suggest the dees have seen the tactics employed by the likes of Bailey Williams on Max, and may roll out similar tactics for center bounce etc. Hope Petty and Disco do the lions share of the work because Roo needs to stay upfront kicking snags

    He's a reincarnation of Wheels (Matty Whelan) he has a dip the lad.

    Part of our future, nothing gained from dropping him, he needs these games for development and adds run, foot skills and tackling pressure.

    Random question, who was the better player? Matty Whelan or Neville Jetta?Ā

    • 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 forecastā€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze ā€” 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 Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™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 isnā€™t a standard conceptā€”itā€™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.

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnā€™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 Ā six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamā€™s unfulfilled potential rang true ā€¦ well, almost.Ā
