Good.  I was watching on TV with the sound at my preferred volume level (i.e. on mute) and thought they were replaying the incident multiple times to criticise the umpires for missing an obvious illegal disposal.  Ony later did I learn why.  More fool me.

Forward: JVR, Jeffo/Melk 11 games each, trade for a good forward or forward/ruck,  Tracc 80% forward post centre bounce.

Back: May, Petty, Lever. Disco depth. A good mature back up (Edwards from West Coast?)

Trade Fritsch - his zero forward pressure impairs our ability to play a second ruck or a young key tall like Jeffo. It also doesn’t let us play those talls (or anyone else like Tracc and Kossie) as the deepest forward.

Let T Mc walk to a rebuilding side or be depth elsewhere.

In terms of who we bring in it has to either be Waterman or a mobile ruck/forward who can stay out of the way whilst forward and contributing in the ruck. 

If the trade plans fail that’s when you keep Tommy and swing Disco or Petty forward.

I'm sorry, you and I have agreed on Fritta's lack of forward pressure in the past, but there's no way we will or should get rid of Fritta. It's a ridiculous suggestion really. He will kick at least 40+ again.

I don't see Turner as a depth player, but maybe the FD agree wirh you as he keeps being named sub.

Also, you're down on Fritta's forward half pressure, but want Melksham to play? 

I'm not against Melksham playing next year, but ultimately, I think we need three talls or at least three that can play tall. IMO, it's JVR, Turner with Jefferson, Melksham and McAdam sharing that other spot.

It'd be great getting a KPF like Waterman, but I'd much prefer to strengthen the midfield and back in the KPPs we have.

    Confirmed that May has fractured ribs. Best to put him on ice and play Petty down back for the remainder of the season.

    May out, I vote Petty to take his place. Get a three-game head start on what should happen in pre-season, which is that Petty returns to defence.

    I remember going to a game against Port at the 'G and I reckon we had 9k there. We were bloody loud though.

    Even that 16k last week sounded loud at times.

    Petty, lever and Turner in defence.

    Theyll play together for the next 5 years.

    Tmac fwd if he goes again

    Maybe  Port will have exhausted themselves tonight    112 points over top of the ladder Swans 😦😮🙄

    I’d play Turner forward but either way I think he’s going to be a good one.

    Turner is a forward. I am a fan though of how we like to mix it up and keep it fresh and exciting by putting players out of position.

    Yep, I resemble that comment! If the Dogs beat the Bloods by 39, then us by 51 the next week, and the Power from Port beat the Swans by 112 and then play us …

    It's going to be an incredible podcast if we beat port.

    I was scared pre game against the doggies.

    On Saturday, I'm literally going to pretend that I forgot the footy was on and just miss out on watching.

    Just want to see Jefferson and Laurie in for the remaining games. Not much else to get excited about for the remainder of this season.

    Time for the draft board to be opened up?

    We are battling when we are getting excited about Laurie. We’ve seen enough to suggest it really isn’t very exciting

    • 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.

      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.
