    Cant drop Viney.  But as a coach you should know your players and as a midfielder in a fast transition game style he is wrong guy to have the ball in hand. 

    He should play high hf role replacing Chandler.  Sparrow stays to tag one of the gc bulls otherwise we're too light.  Sharp probably gets lucky  but I thought Mentha showed a bit. I'd have him as the sub for Woewodin for some late pace.  AJ to come in for Jefferson, cause.... who else. 

    But really the big one is Lindsay to play as many minutes as possible thru the midfield.

    I don't think we can play Howes in defence anymore. I thought he looked ok at points last year, but he was comprehensively beaten by Curtis today.

    Sharp doesn't seem to do much aside from run. He'll probably hold his spot until Pickett comes back but he's on the thinnest of ice.

    May to come in. that’s about all

    T Max out I guess

    [censored] who cares

    wouldn't surprise me if lever doesn't get up, so that's both jefferson and lever out

    you can't pick sharp or woewodin either based on today's performance

    fritsch should be dropped but there's no one to replace him; we've turned one of the best mid-sized goalkicking i50 players into a completely ineffectual high half forward - what a waste

    fingers crossed may is fit

    langford the best of the mfc-listed players in the vfl, with fullarton arguably next best, but johnson will get the forward / ruck role over him you'd expect

    i would drop howes and sharp as well, but there's no one to replace them - crikey, when yr advocating for the return of bill laurie over the latter yr in trouble as a best xxxiii

    OUT: lever, jefferson, woewodin
    IN: may, langford, johnson

    Anderson, Rowell and Miller will have a field day.

    +30 CPs for GC

    +20 in clearances for GC.

    40+ loss coming up for us unfortunately.

    I'm not sure who we can beat this year on today's performance. Hopefully we are competitive and can hold a few tackles against Gold Coast.

    Bring in TC to give Max a chop out.

    Harry Sharp is not a great pick up

     

    A real pre season front runner and when the hard stuff starts looks like a bunny in the spotlight.

    There is a reason Brisbane let him go.

    We will struggle for 12-15k for the Suns.

    You can add Tmac and Fritta to that list also.

    We're not a team known to make big changes even after a big loss like that. 

    Clearly Jefferson is gone with a fractured hand so you'd think Johnson comes back in. I did see Fullarton take some pretty solid clunks up forward today in the VFL, could he possibly be an option for Jefferson? I feel like eventually we either need a Fullarton or Campbell playing together with Gawn at some stage. Today he looked completely gassed and Campbell completely dominated the ruck at VFL level. Even as a big body up forward perhaps.

    Wanted Sharp gone last week and got questioned by a few folks on here.. where are they now? He's a genuine VFL depth plodder who i much prefer Bailey Laurie playing instead of him.

    Hopefully Steven May is a chance. We are shot once he actually retires.

    Our depth is pretty limited to be honest....

    Windsor won’t play for at least 3-4 weeks I reckon. They rushed him already, I wouldn’t do it again.

    You're kidding right.

     

    It's got a bit of a Deckchairs on the Titanic feel about selection.

    AJ for Jefferson, Laurie for Sharp, Langford for Howes and put Rivers back where he belongs.

    A few big reputations on thin ice (Fritta, Salem) but with such a long injury list I reckon they're safe for a while yet.

    Your last line is spot on. Our depth is ordinary at best. Looking at the Casey stats you have Bison, TC and Fullarton in the best. The rest struggled to get double digit disposals. I know a couple of our better players are out, but most teams have injuries and cover OK.

    As I mentioned last week and got a few negative responses our skills are not good. We miss kicks and handballs all too often. Time to have a week of just skills training. Maybe heaps of circle work like in the old days.

    Hope we can turn it around as coming down from Qld for the Anzac eve game with sons and grandsons and would love to see us back to our best. I can dream can't I!

    • 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.
