can't see us going with all of jvr, fritsch, turner, jefferson, and johnson

if latter two are playing, i'm assuming at least one of the first three aren't

i presume jvr has not come up from his back issue

He trained and did match sim since Freo game moving freely I believe.

that's a little forced with some injuries/suspensions

Kozzy is obviously a major out, and it seemed like AMW was having a good pre-season, but who else? I like these inclusions, but I think they're a clear sign that our existing depth wasn't cutting it.

    Does the Sub come from the emergencies or someone named in the final side?

    Tall Emergency list for a wet weather game but I guess it covers all lines.

    No, those three names won’t be playing.

    For ease of understanding, Jeffo replaces Turner in selected on field team

    Bench is Langford, Lindsay, AJ, Henderson and Sharp. One of these likely sub

    Assuming Billings isn't playing I reckon one or both of the Langdon and Windsor experiments won't be continuing. I expected Billings to be one of our wingers to start the season.

     

    I'm not sure about that. Maybe Goody has listened to Daniel Hoyne and we're looking for a Dan Houston sort of player - run and boot it long (and directed) inside the F50.


    I don't think Jefferson is being set-up for success in this match, given form had just been OK, and its in the wet.

    Likely red vest IMO- but go well son.

    Spargo and McAdam the natural Kozzy replacements, both n/a. Hence why Henderson and Sharp will spend time in the fwd line. The existing depth is there, just not for Rnd1

    Been told that Turner has been left out of team. Was named “on-ground” last night because if they had named Jeffo or AJ then the surprise of their debut announcement would have been ruined.

    All debutants got told this morning

    JVR, Jeffo, AJ are the 3 key forwards

    T-Mac, Billings and Turner are the emergencies.

     

     

    Gotta say...I do love that forward line!

    Interesting shake up from conservative match day selections, but guess that's a little forced with some injuries/suspensions. 

    Agreed. Great to see guys get an opportunity and the depth will hopefully force healthy competition for spots and translate to improved team performance. Hope to see more integrity around selection this year. Reward those at Casey banging down the door and stop selecting guys coming off long injury lay offs that are clearly under done or still not 100%

    Not sure you want a bloke who can only play one position as your sub.

    Kozzie Suspension.
    NQR: Spargo
    Injured: McAdam, McVee, AMZ, Tholstrup, Melksham, Hore
    Injured (Depth): Kentfield, Culley
    And I know he's left but ANB left a hole for Sharp etc.

    You'd assume Kozzie, Spargo, Kozzie, McVee, Kolt would be in the Best line up if available. That may force players like Howes out of the team when they return, we'll have to wait and see

    I like Disco but he had two practice matches to forget

    Perhaps Jefferson has trained better since then and the FD is happy to roll the dice?

    Well, he’s managed to make himself appear out of nowhere on the MCG.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
