As in not injured??

Definitely NOT injured.

I’m all for it. With Pickett, Spargo, TMac, Melksham, McVee and Tholstrup all likely to return it seems we have a bit of extra depth about the place.

Yeah, so you pick out an ordinary performance from 2023??? Yeah right🤮

I didn't pick it out.

 

@binman looks like we've drifted a bit in the betting market since 6 debutants announced. No surprise given some would think it's a bit radical.

Here goes the negative spin again from Barrett.  He takes every chance to pile into the Dees. Even when we are transparent and open, he wants a negative spin.  I mute him on the Tv now.  He loves the hate!!! 666 is his number. 
 

IF ...

it's been on off-season of declarations of love and positivity, and some more love, and then some more love after that ...

THEN ...

while I don't yet believe it, I don't mind the public strategy planning behind it. It ultimately won't mean anything, though, if the Demons don't get back into the finals.


I like this team.

I think having AJ and Jeffo with JVR makes for a more dynamic forward setup, particularly as I think AJ will ruck more than he usually would against a depleted GWS ruck lineup allowing us to both rest Max and throw him forward. Also AJ is tough, he will take the pressure off JVR to crash every contest and should give him a chance to get some looks on a lead. The downside might be that it does mean Fritsch MUST play with intensity and tackle, we saw some of it this preseason but we also saw him look disinterested and not chase also, I hope he brings his intent. He’ll get good looks as a third/fourth forward but he needs to bring a pressure game. 

Finally we get to see JVR as a permanent full forward!! Rip em apart Roo!!

Jeffo did some good things against North, I like Disco but he hasn’t set the world on fire in the PS games. If Jefferson brings his best it could be exciting and we won’t lose a heap. 

Langford and Lindsay are class, GWS are lacking inside mids and with Green either not playing or coming back from a calf having another bull to throw in there allowing Trac, Clarry and Viney to be thrown forward at stages is huge! Lindsay looked at home against Freo, I’m excited to see him. 


Also while I’m excited to see what Henderson can do geez Kynan Brown is stiff, tackling machine, quick, does some nice things. Looked good when he came in against North in preseason. Would’ve thought he’d be a chance. 

Go Dees!

I’d absolutely love for AJ to make a position his own for the year. I think he’d make us stronger structurally. Turner and Jefferson competing for the other tall role…….First up…..Matthew Jefferson

Reckon we can put the below to bed now?

Goodwin doesn’t:

Make big changes

Try new players early enough

Move players around in new positions

I am a few hours behind Melbourne and i have just seen the team. 
Good Luck to our new players, hopefully last nights game gave them a spark on what is possible with full commitment 

Please Kick Straight Demons…

but he doesn't play in the guts ... confused

Hope I am wrong, but feel this is too many newbies against a potential top 4 list.  Good luck to them, a lot of weight on the rest of the team to look after them and produce a win.  Got a feeling the 4 points  might go Giants.  Anyway go hard dee's.


We'll certainly know which of the new guys are ready for AFL. Don't mind the approach. Good luck boys

Seriously though, didn't he mention that he's travelling along the coast for the next few weeks? He may not even be there for his boy's debut!

Fantastic recruiting has meant we actually have depth now

This will put a rocket under guys like Turner to not just expect to be picked but to earn it

Turner has had the odd good game but is no world beater.

Agree. good hands and kick but doesn’t get involved enough yet. 17 goals last year from 15 games

Hopefully it comes

 

Far out I am (even more) pumped after seeing the debutants named. 

Is it Sunday arvo yet!!!??

Johnson has reached his ceiling as a player and will be handy on occasions, Jeffo.... The Sky is his to take!

But will he pf, I am all for playing Jefferson but not sure this is the week. I am also not convinced he has another level.

  • 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

  • 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.
