I think you’ll be VERY surprised with our fwd line strategy in 25’ — it’s going to be completely different and much more modern ergo built to suit Fritta with space, more blocking, maybe some Kansas-city-shuffle type antics and I for one am SUPER excited to see what TC does with our much deeper & higher ceiling fwd line than what most perceive. 

I hope you’re right, and look forward to seeing it play it, I posted something in the Gameplan & Tactics thread last night hoping for what you’ve mentioned.

Surely a bit top heavy forward of the ball?  Can't see us playing with all 4 of them in the one side - though given the extended benches ususally used in pre-season matches they should all get some game time.

It's a bit top heavy I'll have to change the team.

I really look forward to your rolling squads Werridee. An emoji just isnt enough sometimes. Thanks.

But Id swap Tholstrup with Langford and Turner with McAdam.

Edited by Damo


Gawn & Lever would be  fairly handy ins!

I can't see Salem being in our best 23 any longer - injury prone & with the addition of Langford & Lindsay I can't see him playing either half back or on the ball - good depth though!

No mention of Jefferson as a possible in or IC - would like to see how he goes at FF with JVR at CHF although I do like the option of Johnson playing as he can be 2nd ruck - don't want them to ruck JVR at all so only options are play Johnson or play Campbell so for me Johnson on IC makes sense depending on who the opposition is.

I wouldn't forget Spargo (seeing him missed almost all of 2024) - good link player. Also, surely Sparrow, Chandler & Brown are worth considering as possible interchanges?

I tried to leave out who's been injured. Chandler is out for a few weeks and is Tholstrup injured? Play players like Chandler, Gawn, Lever and Petracca against Freo.

GWS could have a tall forward line that's why I've picked Howes ahead of Bowey. Bowey is too small.

Buckley will get McAdam.

Taylor will get van Rooyen.

Idun will get Fritsch.

Whitfield will get Chandler

Himmelberg will get Johnson

Ash will get Petracca.

Lever will take Riccardi.

May will take Hogan.

McVee will take Stringer.

Salem will take Greene.

Windsor will take Daniels.

Agree with Brayshaw ahead of Febes as he is a premiership player and played and succeeded in more big games perhaps. 

Fritta very unlucky and Kossie probably Sub ahead of Flash or Jmac. 

Due to Kolt being out for 10 to 12 weeks I've put in a new round 1 side. I'm not sure how long Kentfield is out for so I kept him in the side.

Werridee, Jeffo stared yesterday, and this has come from other reports as well, surely its time to bite the bullet show some faith and get early games into him?? Also Billings was sensational! Mc Adams did little that I could see and Bowser was also very good yesterday! Howes was almost invisible as well yesterday!

I think Billings will get first crack on the wing based on training reports.

I'm counting the McAdams's posts.

I'm not gonna change the team based on 1 match simulation but if Jefferson keeps on improving it will be hard to keep him out of the side.

Billings was useless last year, what has changed? I'd be wary of playing Billings he lets you down.

McAdam gives us a point of difference he can play tall and small you can say the same thing about him as you could about Billings but at least McAdam was injured most of the year Billings had no excuses.

I'm picking Howes on his defensive ability he can play tall and small. Bowey can't play tall. He's good offensively but I'm not sure defensively.

Don’t forget Billings was coming back from two injury riddled seasons, so was probably lacking confidence in his body.  His last three games playing off a wing were actually fairly solid.

He looks super fit now and has done a full preseason, which I’m guessing he hasn’t done for a while.

He looks like he's bulked up in the upper body too.

If Chandler is fit he comes in and replaces Sparrow and Howes becomes the sub, but ATM Langdon and Billings have to play the small forward role.

    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.

    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.
