Stiff on Turner. Thought he showed a lot last year - much more than Petty - after never playing forward before that.

Hope he gets another shot, or if not, I hope we try to make him a defender again.

He's sick according to the website

    Turner has been withdrawn due to illness, according to the MFC website.
    One man's misfortune is another's opportunity. El Jefe makes the team and Johnson the bench. Let's see what you can do.

    Looked like Kolt had a mask on (under the chin) so might have been a couple sick?

    Ahh fair enough, missed that.

    Opportunity for Jeffo then... knowing he has to take it or someone is breathing down his neck for the spot.

    I’m sure Disco will get another Turn(o) 

     

    I have been waiting for this moment since I created the username tbh

    It’s genuinely exciting and I reckon watching the Tigers should give us all encouragement for what’s coming up. Sharp has experience, you can say the same for Johnson and Henderson and Langford and Lindsay are high, ready to play draftees and Jefferson appears to have shown enough to get his chance. I say bring it on, I’d much rather be here than where Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon are.

    They did show their 1-wood of overlap running and linking by hand.  All well and good but the conditions at the G on Sunday will not favour this.

    Why? If you have the right cattle and they’re fit I reckon you could take an overlap running game anywhere. And anytime.

    I don’t know much about Henderson… what’s he good at? What role will he play on Sunday? Our forward line feels stodgy - hoping he’s good quick and accurate at the drop of the ball

    Filthy that Tom Green is playing. Surely he'll be cooked early leaving Clarry and Trac to dominate clearances.

    Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades

    Tend to agree, IHW. Johnson will also clear (physically) those gathering opposition packs in the wet, thus enabling first and second efforts for the mighty Dees, with bumps, shepherds and blocks. Tough nut time, mongrel motivations. Feels good already.

    I can tell you all Goody’s thought process.

    Kids last night beat Carlton. Carlton thumped GWS in preseason. Therefore kids will beat GWS. It’s flawless logic.

    I’m excited to see how the new breed go and am pumped that J Billings won’t play.

    The average age of Sunday's listed players - 25.5 - is over 2.5 years younger than the team Collingwood fielded against GWS last weekend (28.2). There are 15 players under 28, and 8 over. 

    • Under 23: 8 players
    • 23 to 27: 7
    • 28 to 29: 5 (Fritsch, Lever, Langdon, Petracca, Salem)
    • Over 30: 3 (Viney, May, Gawn)

    No knock on any of the debutants and super pumped to see them all out there but I'm perplexed about leaving Disco out. 

    After that Gold Coast game at the end of last year where he made Sam Collins look like an U12 defender, all summer i've been pumped to see Disco rip it apart this year. 

    Obviously i'm sure he won't be out of the side for long but still i'm surprised at his omission.

    I might be wrong but this is definitely a changing of the guard moment. This will be a genuine journey. We might surprise but people should temper their expectations.

    Turner ill makes sense. He is ahead of Jefferson obviously.

    Can the Billings hate end? It’s so unbecoming. He is depth. He is not going to affect the result in any meaningful way - if we lose, you will know that our best players didn’t do what they needed to do.

    • 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.
