My query on AJ is that he's been manhandled whenever he's gone into the ruck. I like work at ground level in the stoppage and in the forward half though. But he doesn't look threatening as a scoreboard option.

But let's see how he goes. I'm hoping we can lay 10+ forward 50 tackles. Do that and we'll be in the game if we take our chances when they present.

He's only played 2 games and those rucks were Witts and Lachy Keefe - both pretty tall big bodies. Given he's a back up ruckman I think we can be OK about him doing that. IMO its better than JvR and we get a lot of aggro, hard at the ball and can mark in the fwd line.

    Apparently Viney's symptoms didn't appear until the Thursday following the game and its at that point he entered the concussion protocols.

    Surely it from the time he sustains the concussion? Anyone know what the rules are re this?

    No idea of the rules, but if there was treatment that would have started earlier, but wasn't started until the following Thursay, you could argue that justifies the extra delay. Even if there is no such treatment, the fact that he kept playing could also argue for extra recovery time being needed.

    Best team we have had on the park all year.

    Like the forward line, much better than last week.

    No excuses to not be competitive this week.

    Agreed.

    I still think our weakest links are too weak to have us take games against this sort of opponent to anywhere near a win but hopefully we can push them to within a few goals or so before it blows out late.

    That's provided we don't use Clarry as a tagger. Worst move ever that telegraphs to the opposition that 'we aren't winning this so i'm just gonna limit the blow out" and hands the oppo a massive win from the get go. They don't have to think about covering our best mid - extractor / distributor (when he's on) at all ❌️

    If we're tagging Neale ...Sparrow (who's in no man's land) and a bit from others like Spargo (mostly ineffective atm anyway) ✅️

    McVee to Zorko ✅️

    I hate honourable losses but those weak links are presently uber putrid with not much at Casey to replace in a form sense (yet).

    Will be interesting to see how the Umpiring Fraternity respond to a mild criticism by Razor, when he referred to the current group as "mob" during a recent interview on Fox.

    Funny how certain players of the Big Clubs are the expert exponents of the "free kick" in the push, trip, hit mark area.

    Either something is not right with May or he’s a shadow of his former self and I query giving him an extra year in 2026

    Plugger Mac is by some margin the best tall defender

    Yea, he's not the player he wad.

    But without Lever , Tmac is stil doing really well.

    Fritta out.

    Maybe Jvr.

    Hopefully Melksham is good to go.

    Turner forward.

    Not sure who for Jvr.

    Maybe we need him for ruck.

    But his forward capabilities have gone south big-time.

    Afl this talk about honourable losses..

    The Roos nearly beat them the goodness sake. Yes they're a different proposition at home but if we play like we did v hawthorn for the 1st there quarters and kick a little straighter there's every chance we can jag a win

    If it's close at 3/4 time and we crumble we should riot on HQ

    He's def an upgrade on a horribly out-of-form JVR, even if he does similar work at the chop out. Just needs a goal or two plus the pressure and crashing of

    Last time i looked, no one off DL is playing tomorrow Jnr. It's just an assessment.

    Remembering that we are the only team the Roos have beaten all season and by a whopping 10 goals

    Then there's our functional forward half and accuracy at goal to look forward to.

    Based on where the two teams are at of late, a win could arguably see this one as the upset of the season so far if we pull off a W.

    Unfortunately with AJ, aggro is about all we've been getting at AFL level. Hopefully, with a bit more time to grow and develop under his belt he'll be able to turn that around.

    Fingers crossed.

    • 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.

      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.
