Has the AFL ever made the logical decision at the time it’s most indicated/needed/deserved? They always hang onto it for a while (season or two), before then making the blindly obvious change. Mind-numbingly frustrating. 

Their rules can be bent, stretched, and waived at any time. Adelaide just got permission to replace Strachan who easily could be back before the end of the year (not to undermine the difficultly of a navicular in to a heel stress fracture). And they got to hold the announcement from Friday to Monday for the vibes.

But their favourite certainly is reviewing rules over a painstaking period of time until they get a good result and then either overreacting or creating further grey areas.

    We are going to be allowed to replace Andy. Fantastic news. Could it be Roy George?

    So the clubs are adopting my suggestion/proposal.

    As I said, it is totally unfair for some clubs to be playing their match sims after the SSP period closed, while others played earlier.

    All clubs should be treated the same and all play earlier or later.

    I think all clubs have now played their match sims, so what is so bad with extending the SSP to say Tuesday, 4 days longer.

    As I said.

    Heart wants George,

    Gut says Culley,

    Head says JT is known for plucking obscure targets he's previously wanted to draft.

    I have been pushing for Roy for a few months now, but feel it will be Culley ,with more versatility and the fact that Roy will hopefully be there in the msd at our pick.

    I just think George has the most upside. For mine it comes down to his attitude and his desire to make it. Will he work to get the very best out of himself. If the answer is yes then I'd pick him. You know what you're getting with Culley.

    Oh this is interesting. Seemed like Culley was odds on until Henderson got home like Kingston Town. 

    Do they see Culley as completely different - taller, more of a pure midfielder, not an ANB replacement - or do they class Henderson as a midfielder and lean towards a different kind of player entirely?

    Be a bit of a sliding doors moment if we replace someone on a list who has unfortunately just done their ACL with someone coming back from an ACL. Will be an interesting list management decision. Or do we go Roy as a part of operation keep Kossie at Melbourne.

    Thanks Redleg and DannyZ, this is a great decision based on fairness for all teams and common sense. What a terrible week we have had losing two players with season ending injuries when they were both on the verge of claiming a spot. I am happy with Jack Henderson and will trust JT to find the best option for Dees.👏👍😁

    It will be interesting to see how Roy goes at Casey, as we may have a spot at msd time and he appears to be at the head of the line atm.

    Do we only have a list spot at the MSD if someone gets moved to the long term injury list or retires?

    I believe that is the case.

    Remembering that we need enough places at the end of the year, for any returning players to the active list, like AMW and McAdam and also at least 3 spots for new people on the list, being drafted or traded.

    • 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.

      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.
