I can see Jefferson being the sub this week.

 

He’s named in the first 18… doesn’t that mean he’s safe from being sub?

    It normally does unless he gets injured or becomes ill.

    Yes , the things he did were freakish.

    Such a tragedy.

    I reckon they'll start Langford - good opportunity for him to get going, particularly given he played so well against the roos in the practice match which will help his confidence.

    The roos have a very good midfield, very dees like with their bulls and inside mids. Langford is a good match up. 

    Spargo to play. Sharp as sub. 

    agreed. I was thinking the same thing as Rivers will need to drop to half back with Windsor out. Turner will come in for AJ you'd think.

    At training today (I wasn’t there but my ghostwriter was) Charles’ face came up on the big screen and everyone was getting around him. Make of that what you will 😁

    Happy with this.

    We need a bit of experience in our forward line.

    Do you reckon they’ll bring Spargs in as sub? Ease him into it?

     

    Do you need both Sharp and Langdon on the smaller ground? 
    Maybe Sharp the sub?

    I very much doubt he’ll be sub. We need our best kickers with games in the tank. We’re trying to get better and develop synergy with a new plan. He’s absolutely part of it

    Spargo has trained lightly over the summer. He did not participate in any of the senior practice matches.

    He played part of a VFL practice match last week on which we have no reports.

    Amazed if he plays a full AFL game but who knows

    Edit... Obviously I don't

    Good luck to him

    Geez, Billings wasn't putting on a smile in that video...

    yeah I saw that too . Tough for Billing’s but his kicking for goal is just a liability.

    I actually don’t think that’s why he’s left out.

    I would add David Schwarz and Darren Bennett to that list.

    The Ox!

    If Fritch is kept in check ( i.e 2 goals or less ) we seem to struggle. Chandler ihas not been a focal point for years. Yes both players may be doing what is required by the coach , still we are getting beaten more often than we should. Melsham and Kossie may make a difference when they come back. Kossie should only play forward as he has more goal sense than most other forward. Hopefully someone kicks a bag of goals against Norf.

    If you haven't already, check out the recent MFC video about Spargo's rehab. Sounds like the injury didn't just keep him off the park, it was hindering his performance significantly (speed) when he was playing with it.

    Now he's recovered, a good chance of getting back to 2021-22 footy.

    Makes sense as the sub IMO. No injuries, and he can come on late for another small. If a tall gets hurt early, we have enough on the park to shuffle things around.

    If spargo is in thats means one of turner or Langford or sharp isn’t playing, as I can’t see rivers getting dropped

    You can bet your house that Rivers isn’t getting dropped. Spargo won’t be sub, you don’t make videos for the sub. I’m hoping Langford gets the full game.

    Kynan Brown says hi!

    Turner comes into the side for AJ, Langford moves into the 22 for Windsor, Spargo replaces Langford as the sub. Not that difficult really.

    It will be one of Sharp or Langford that gets dropped.

    Sharp was one of our worst players last week from a statistical perspective while Langford looked off the pace.

    Leaning towards Sharp starting as sub, being injected after 3 qtr time and kicking a sneaky couple while Langford plays a full game in Casey's season opener.

    In a team that struggles to kick winning scores why would you  make the highest scoring forward a sub?

    Still think Turner is a big WIP as a forward.

    Pondered this acronym for a while;

    Was it?

    ‘Weapon in Prometheus’ the latest video game being played by aspiring young AFL forwards in their free time?

    Major drawback being you might fire. But you were more than likely to do penance for perceived failure. According  to some pundits on Demonland. eg Less than earth shattering performances in the pre-season pantomimes.

    Chained to a rock with an ex-Eagle (Jack Darling’s your man?) visiting each night to rip out your liver. Seems a bit harsh, even for hardcore Demonland flagellants. Besides Jack is known to be averse to medical procedures.

    Perhaps there’s a big ‘M’ adrift out there but personally never thought Disco as a big WIMP. Phonetically WIP could be mistaken for WHIP.

    The season has barely started and candidates for DL whipping boy abound. In fact it’s building towards a Melbourne Cup field. Jack Billings, return of an old favourite. Kade’s a real contender, run ins has been a bit dodgy. They’re howling for Howes out there too. (Full Moon is coming). To be blunt, Sharp’s got his fans as well. Then there is Bayley and Bailey. No, not the confectionery manufacturers recently appointed to King Charles, but they’re getting it royally too.

    Well, we await further developments. Like the injury/suspension list, it’s a work in progress.

    • 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

    • 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.
