I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

Absolutely not.  Why should the club reward the efforts he has contributed this season?  Sends a terrible message.  The club is bigger than the player.  Let him play his 300th for Tassie.

I can see the rationale in not playing ANB this week given we're one year short of the wild card round, meaning this game would be match of the round as opposed to a dead rubber under the wild card format.

He's not going to be with us next year, so why accrue another 120 minutes of game time with a player that isn't part of our future. They could give Laurie the minutes that ANB would have received. Laurie should be eying off 20 senior games next year.

It's exactly the same dilemma as playing BBB at the expense of Turner or Petty missing out on forward line cohesion minutes this weekend. 

But I expect ANB will be playing a farewell game in front of the fans.

I'd be a bit [censored] if they didn't play him. A farewell game for a great servant of the club yes, but he's an integral part of the team until the season is done and we'll need him to beat the Pies.

Although I can understand the logic of not playing ANB considering he'll be playing elsewhere next year, this is from Viney's contract announcement message yesterday.

It will also be Alex Neal-Bullen’s final game in the red and blue and a chance to say thank you for his contribution to our club.

It would be a backflip of epic proportions if they've elected not to play ANB. Although recent evidence has shown that communication is not the club's strong suit...

I am never confident, but I have a feeling we will knock the Pies off this week. Recon this will be the best thing to kick off a successful preseason, successful trade/draft period and a successful 2025!

ANB trained in match sim with Casey players yesterday so may be rested. 
No other changes on the horizon except for a new sub to replace Melk. It may be Laurie or Woey who both trained well in the white team. 

I suspect Nibbler in one final act of leadership was happy to play in the B team to give both Laurie and Woey a chance to push their case.

I’d be shocked if he doesn’t play. In fact he might even tag Daicos again and beat him just because he can.

Ideally we play both Laurie and Woey, keep Melk as sub and don’t play Billings but that seems unlikely. 


Hill, Schultz, Elliott, Hoskin Elliot and the future Hall of Famer McCreery.  The Pies forward line is FAST.   Good luck to our 30 somethings back there.

McStay's out for the Pies which is a win for us.

They’re resting him for the Petracca trade 🤣


Nibs will play. His folks aren’t coming to the ‘G to see him NOT play. 

Grab some fries, smoke the Pies

He spoke very well and I felt reassured about the Petracca situation specifically and the club generally.

No coincidence Lever was put up to sen for this interview. Excellent media performer who delivered the key messages about Trac beautifully.

No yeh nah stuff that poor old Jack V would have rolled with. 

Smart one Perty

Didn’t on the day but did just now. He actually talked about his body size as well as his height. He said Lisa (the nutritionist) has him on a plan that along with conditioning should see him “fill out.”

We owe 'em for 2017.

I was really hoping their season would still be on the line this week. Getting one up over them and killing their hopes of finals would be excellent. I'll take a win regardless though!

Goody was pretty clear in the presser. We'll do everything we can to beat the Pies on Friday.

Resting ANB, playing Hunter etc, doesn't improve our chances of winning. 

Personally I win or lose I really hope the boys play with agression and positivity. We were manhandled and bullied on KB, IMV. Hard but fair.

I posted this in the draft capital thread about the impact of the result against the Pies.  We could slip all the way down to receiving P5 if we lost.  All it takes is:

  1. St Kilda defeats Carlton by say 20 points
  2. We lose to Collingwood by say 25 points
  3. Gold Coast defeats Richmond by 50 points

None of these results are really unlikely and if it happens, we could end up 14th.  St Kilda are probably next on the AFLs list of helping out and may get band 1 compo for Battle.  So winning and ending up 10th would push our pick out to 10 at best.

P5 vs P10 is obviously a huge difference against a dead rubber result.  If it was any other team, I'd accept an honourable loss.

I just can't deal with that against the Filth.  This win really could finish the year with some great energy and good vibes into next season.

 

this is actually really disturbing.

That’s great. Tell him he has a fan on here who believes in him.

If you think I’m gonna suggest this for Friday’s banner… you’d be dead right! 😅

Unfortunately the club would never allow it, but it’s fun imagining it.

Anyways the banner has enough going on already. Goodbye to Nibs and congrats for Riv’s 100th and whatever else the club sees fit (hopefully no advert just for this week).

Hi WCW is training on tomorrow at Gosch’s?  I thought I saw a post last week saying there would be but I can’t find the post or anything on the club site.

Captain’s run at Gosch’s tomorrow morning starting at 9:45am and finishing at about 10:30am.

As with every training session it’s subject to last-minute change but that seldom happens with the Captain’s run.

PS bring an umbrella! No shelter from the rain apart from a few trees which drip rain on you anyways so yeah, no shelter. 😁

Lever’s interview put my mind at ease about Trac. Our leaders signed contracts that will see them through to career close. We’ve got premiership players to farewell in ANB and BBB. 

Despite one of the most emotionally wild seasons in a long time and a lot of bitter disappointment, I’m feeling good right now. It feels like it has all come to a head. Get the job done against the Pies and I’ll end the season feeling content.

  • 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.
