Selections this week are ordinary to say the least.

AMW and Howes need more experience and we bring in Salem

    Great to see Hore back. If he had been more lucky he’d be a regular

    AMW has had a good taste but has plenty to work on

    would have been nice to see Jeffo. hopefully next week

    With respect our season finished last Friday; and on that effort some players have checked out for this year.

    ‘Premiership gun’ 😂 Who gives a [censored] if he played in the premiership or not we’re three years past it champ. Hasn’t even been ‘good’ for three years. Should we bring Ben Brown in cause he was a ‘premiership gun’ ? Shocking take

    You should read 1984. Or at least look up Thinkpol. They weren't huge on views contrary to their own.

    same decision - different lens - so choose your language

    "argh the season's shot- play the young kids" whilst gnashing teeth that the seasons shot...

    And whilst on form, it doesn't look great - at least the FD is more optimistic than some of you lot...

    Optimistic about what? We've blown it this season. They're paid to manage these things and should be held to account.

    Port have been using a very tall forward line recently. With no Georgiades, Howes has no match up. Could you imagine Howes lining up next to Esava or Dixon? He'd be ragdolled. Hore and Tommo make sense here.

    Bowza will take Rioli

    Salem gives us more experience and while AMW has impressed, he routinely has run out of legs in the second half of games this year. Good match up for Byrne Jones.

    This is incredibly misguided - you've genuinely read every match up wrong. Only thing you've got right is that Howes would get ragdolled. 

    Guess what - so will Hore. 

    Bowza doesn't have the speed, agility or tackling ability in the clinches to take Rioli. And he's incredibly unaccountable for a defender. AMW equally unaccountable....but he's played what...5 games? At least he has speed and tackling ability. 

    As for Salem - DBJ will absolutely run him off his feet and get him out the back if that's the matchup - which it won't be.

    Any chance we can bring the attitude and zest for the contest that we brought to the recent Brisbane game as opposed to the suburban league level pressure we brought to the Freo and Dogs games?

    Even the GWS game was more than acceptable.

    Feels like we’re picking and choosing which games we can be azzed turning up to.

    who gives AF? I do. 

    He has certainly been good in the past few years, looked good moving into midfield, unfortunately injuries and medical issues keep hitting him. 

    maybe a bit of respect for someone critical in ending our 57 year premiership drought? winning a flag is the whole point right?

    Just turned 29, hopefully he gets his body right and proves all you ‘supporters’ wrong

    Certainly detect an uptick in aggressive posting from either new posters or posters that have been dormant for a few years. I guess they've actually missed the mediocrity...

    Maybe ensuring that AMW doesn’t cross the 10 game barrier this year so we can maintain him as a Rookie(new rules) have to consider all angles.

    This relates to the new modified Rookie rule to be introduced in 2024 where Rookies can be extended to a fourth year if a player hasn’t played 10 or more AFL games and extend to a fifth year if said player was a project or slow development player.

    That’s the most disturbing thing to me. We go on about culture and playing a Melbourne brand of footy but once a team starts picking and choosing and needing massive bakes from the coaching staff to perform, I get worried.

    It won’t be one issue alone, but a collection of issues that have hit critical mass. Fitness, confidence, inexperience, injury, outside noise etc

    Good clubs put the fire out before it becomes an inferno. I look toward the coaches and Gawn & his lieutenants for leadership but I think we should be reviewing that group and reinvigorate the nominated leaders with some youth such as Rivers.

    The changes are more logical than some on here want to admit, but they're equally uninspiring for those of us who have enjoyed seeing fresh faces in the side.

    I get why Hore and Salem are playing, and more importantly I can accept why AMW isn't, but if I'm honest I'd still rather see AMW out there.

    • 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.

    • 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.
