Listened to Dwanes world the other day did anyone else catch Chris from Camberwells take?? He reckons Goody will be gone by seasons end. Now I know everyone has an opinion but for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that he could be onto something here!

Oh yes, Chris from Camberwell is definitely someone I suggest you listen to. He is not at all unhinged.

    Would very much like to see Jefferson get a go. His progress this year would indicate he's worked really hard I think, and a game late in the season gives him a chance to get a feel for the pace and strength of opposition defenders and thus a target to work towards during the offseason. Otherwise, he's 6-7 months off being anywhere near a game.

    Precisely correct. What would a pre-season preparation achieve if he was not - at the minimum - experienced in the demands of the big-time game, the team of participants, the desirable options onfield and the areas of his own game that could be expanded, further developed and contributory?

    No Oliver will be interested because in theory Sparrow should play as a full time on baller. it'll be great to see how he goes. 

    Sparrow would relish something meaningful - and positive - instead of a negating role.

    I'd really hope that Sparrow would be happy to take any role assigned to him that will help the team, as I would any player.

    This match is a good chance for a lot of players to prove they have the desire to play on next season.

    Just checked our injury list and saw it includes May, Oliver, Petracca, Windsor and Spargo.  You just can't replace those sorts of players, but it's a great opportunity for the likes of Hore, Howes, Kolt & Disco (at least) to learn and smash in.

    You'd hope some of the older players that have drifted towards the end of the season, or throughout it to really come home with a wet sail too.

    Go Dees!

    Yes, I found myself listening to that on the way to Bunnings! Dear old Chris from Camberwell, " if you find a competitor's lower price on a recycled coach, we'll take it in place of the only bloke who has delivered a premiership in 60 years!"

    Did Chris from Camberwell also say that he wouldn't be buying a membership next year if the Club didn't change the CEO, the president, the coach and the doorman?

    After a promising period mid season I reckon his last month has been horrid. 

    A pity as I think he's one of the more intriguing players on our list 

    Agreed. Wonder if he will still be on the list after this year? I guess the rules changing for rookies may help

    We almost won last week, probably should’ve, don’t think we need wholesale changes.

    In other selection news, Weid is in for Essendon.

    Kynan Brown and Jefferson should be playing. Really wonder how decisions around players playing when not in form impacts the “culture” of the team. The FD have missed a trick here.

    What purpose is served by not playing them? Jefferson playing would give him a taste for it, he’d get a feel for the pace of the game or in our case lack off.

    Chris isn't the sharpest tool in the shed at the best of times.

    Casey didn’t play last week, maybe that had something to do with no Jeffo. 
    Next week might be different.

    • 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.

      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.
