Another pleasant day of a "non-organised" Captain's Run - no drills, no soccer - just mooching.

Absent: From the 23 (plus emergencies named) Lever. Other absentees: McVee, Tholstrup, Jefferson, Hore, Kentfield.

Spargo arrived late, and whilst not named on Selwyn's injury list this week, the rumour is that he sufferred a concussion last Sunday.

Windsor had his boots on and was doing some kicking with Selwyn, so I'd reckon he is a good chance for next week - don't think he was testing for tomorrow!

No Casey players today - just all the AFL listed players.

And at around 10.45 am the AFLW team were heading out for a run on Gosch's.

He was actually shown as injured in the list of outs when the team was named, yesterday.

Presuming Lever is out

Would we be tempted to debut Mentha? Or simply bring back in Howes (underwhelming) or Disco (back to defence?)

Players in some doubt during the week often miss the Captain’s Run, could just be an “off” feet thing with Lever. Hoping anyway.

That's the conundrum, isn't it. I'd take TMac in defence with Petty and May over Disco. Can they bring in another non-emergency player? Because if it's out of Howes or Mentha, I'm probably taking Ricky.

We're desperate for leg speed and aggression, even if Ricky is a bit fresh to the system I think he will help our drive off HB. After seeing Saad EH debut for Essendon, it could be an exciting option to debut a speedster too.

If Lever is out TMac comes off the bench into the starting back 6 and Disco comes out of the Emergencies to replace him on the bench and play forward. Tall out - tall in.

that only leaves 6 backs need a 7th

Maybe so. However, I'm not sure TMac was in the team for playing in the forward line - I suspect Lever was doubtful and Tom was insurance. If Disco was dropped, I'm not sure that Lever's omission is the reason to bring him back in. Especially if it's going to rain with swirling winds 35km/h. I'd have the 4 key forwards (1 interchange) as JVR, AJ, Fritta and Melksham. Mentha for sub for me (as much as it pains me for a debutant).


I thought the mood was serious, business to do, focus quite inner for the group.

They were a little late heading out and the expectations were palpable.

Sestan, Brown, Fullarton, and Woey on the far side of oval near where Green was hanging out.

Kossie and Mentha hanging out, Kossie brought his child out on the grass.

Tracc first to see bubs.

Good sounds, some near misses, plenty hitting the goal.

Melky hanging around goals, on target.

Howes in for Lever

Just confirmed,

Sesto to emergency.

Fact

Great to see Sestan in the emergencies, we need some precise kicking off HB and career wise it's time we see if we can make it or not.

Shouldn't that be Disco? Sorry but Howes is a fair way off at the moment. The oppo will look to run it through his man a fair bit me thinks.

    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.
