Hope Laurie cracks hard on the defensive end and spends some time at centre bounce. He has never really had a chance to play mid in the firsts, usually stuck in the HF graveyard shift. He is a great tackler and can be clean in traffic.

Can also be a bit of a panic merchant turnover king at times MF.  And that's playing in the middle (when he does) at Casey.

Fingers and toes crossed if he goes into the middle.  Might be better to just leave him rolling through as a HF off the bench for now with minimal time through the middle?

    Billings got 18 touches on as sub 

    And Jordon played 65 games in 3 years

    just appalling 

    no wonder he left

    You can't be serious. Jordon played the Grand Final for zero minutes. That is credited with one game and a hollow premiership medallion

    Saying he played 65 games is irrelevant. How many games was he sub? And how many minuted did he play when he was sub?

     

    And this from you:

    Windsor is a gun. Quick skilled high draft pick. unfair comparison on young Brown. Windsor has been amazing and deserved every game, fantastic that the club backed him from day 1

     

    How would Windsor be travelling if he had been treated like Brown?

    He is a jet we all get that but if he been treated like Brown we may still be wondering. If he was languishing at Casey getting 24 tackles and not being picked you'd say "well he's a young player who should be grateful for his minutes"

    We're picking severely out-of-form players on sentimental value now?  Has been horrid most weeks at Casey.

    Hope not!

    It's exactly what we need more of in our team.

    I thought Sparrow was ready to explode this year after his pre season performance against the Blues.

    2-3 weeks at Casey might do him some good.

    He is named as an emergency so no game at either level this week i assume?

    Same with K Brown & Howes.

    One half of our starting midfield are panic merchant turnover kings, statistically speaking.  The quicker number 4 gets a run in there the better.

    Jordon 65 games 13 impacted by sub, not sure how these facts are irrelevant 

    regarding Windsor and Brown. let me try to break this down for you. Some young players instantly take to the game - so you play them. Others take time so you play them in the 2’s. 

    How would Windsor be travelling if he was treated like Brown? who knows? they are different players

    Can't help but feel Max's inclusion is well meant but foolhardy desperation. 

    Hope this doesn't exasperate his injury.

    Yep Fritsch was putrid and is a weak tackler, needs more desperation and needs a spell. BRING IN JEFFO! Time for a bold call Goody

    Jeffo may well be very useful - at a time when Fritta is down on form and impact - and Jeffo will only benefit from the experience and senior onfield associations. Many things appear quite possible, and Verral is just a moment away, as well. The same enrichment opportunities apply with Gawn back where his leadership can be consistently applied across a whole game. Given the return of Melk, the budding abilities of JVR and the keen eyes of ANB and Chin, things could really happen but it must be time to bring all of these synergies to the fore.

    Melksham on radio this morning revealed that Gawn has a fitness test today.

    Also said Sparrow plays a defensive and team role but also needs to play with more freedom without just focusing on his team role, which is why he’s been dropped. Sounds 100% spot on to me.

    Just because it is his 200th is NO Guarantee of a spot and nor should it be! He would want to tear it up at Casey First. Not that thats any factor, just look at Pettys elevation on no form!

    I'm going early and calling this a Demon win by no less than 33 points.

    Max to crush the ruck and Fritta and Milk to have a busy time with four goals each. 

    Jvr with five.

    I'm exasperated by the notion that the medical team, Gawn and the FD would knowingly put him in a position to exacerbate the injury, without weighing up the risk.

    incredibly accurate which suggests a) luck; b) kicking close to goal or c) kicking from the corridor

    Don't know the breakdown of set shots, out-the-back, stoppage etc but they are doing something right.

    A bit? He plays hot potato with the ball if there is even a hint of pressure. He consistently coughs it up. He misses regulation shots on goal and is too slight for AFL football. Goodwin again backing the wrong horse. There is no future for Laurie at AFL level

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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

      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.
