Fullerton didn't do much tonight.

Do we pull the trigger on JVR, or really try and get him to smash the door down?

    He kicked 5 this week,that seems a pretty reasonable return.

    Melksham for Tholstrup. The lad needs some time at the lower level to develop his game. Catch is, no VFL again this week.

    Turner should come in as well in the backline, but not sure who for.

    Someone for Fullarton. Anyone.

    Wouldn’t be dropping Tholstrup on tonight’s game.

    Out. Fullarton. Gave nothing. Was outmuscled all night. I was so disappointed with his effort. No energy at all and showed no football smarts.

    Out. Fritsch. Learned zero. Just laconic. Missed that last goal from 30 metrs out. Kicked two goals but had ZERO tackles and ZERO defensively

    Ins. JVR - must play… Simply must play

    Ins Turner back after his concussion

    What an absolute disgrace on the part of AFL for tolerating this as a “support competition”!!!

    Not sure jvr wants to ruck… can you split the role with him and Turner?

    I’d prefer Turner over Fullerton, JVR and Fritsch at this point. But then who helps max…

    Isn’t Campbell back playing again. He would be my choice.

    JVr for Fullarton would appear likely.

    Turner's been in and out of the team, but his best game for the year was in the backline last week. If he comes back, it's into the backline, surely. Not sure we need him plus May and TMac though. Might depend on May's ankle.

    If anyone else gets a game, it should be at Sharp's expense.

    I'm a huge Feitsch fan but I'd consider JVR for him and tell JVR to play a Jeremy Cameron role.

    Perhaps move Fritsch to sub.

    Bring in Campbell or Veral to be backup ruck for Fullerton. Even AJ.

    Note: what had worked for us is two talls in the backs and 1.5 talls in the forward. We need to keep that mix.

    Have to think about Disco if he’s right, play him 3rd tall back, Rivers goes back in to the midfield, Tracc and Kosi forward? Kolt out? Maybe. maybe not?

    Does May need a rest?

    WC run with the 3 talls in Allan, Waterman and Williams, so may need the extra tall in Turner.

    Out: Tholstrup, Fullerton

    In: Melksham (if fit), AJ

    If Melksham isn’t available, Tholstrup gets another week.

    *Obviously JVR ended the game with 5.2, but AJ’s five tackles along with his 3.5. I wouldn’t be totally opposed to the JVR selection, but I’m a big fan of the physicality that AJ has brought since going back to the VFL.

    Just curious, does Sharp deserve a game above Tholstrup?

    Yeah I’d like to get Disco in for that and just to get him in because he needs games too. But Riv has been very good down back and feels like our ball movement is starting to click with 5 good flankers back there. Tracc and Pickett look better on ball. Kolt has added some defensive grunt.

    Rivers goes on ball and suddenly the balance is off.

    I know I’m in the minority here, but I think Sharp is just the new whipping boy for many on this forum. His game against Geelong was disappointing, but outside of that I think he’s done what you’d expect of him.

    Tholstrup is a fair way off it, IMO. A full game last week for 6 disposals and 0.0 isn’t fantastic, acknowledging it was his first game back. His 4 disposals and 1.0 tonight, doesn’t really scream as being a retainable performance. We seem to have people calling for Sharp’s axing pretty regularly, when his output is arguably equal to, if not surpassing that of Tholstrup.

    Tholstrup may offer us something down the track (personally, I’m yet to be convinced of this), but I think he should be trying to find some form at Casey at the moment.

    Fair enough then. Being in the minority on Demonland isn’t a bad thing, haha

    • 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.

      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.
