I hate the pies with a passion but their kicking skills were sublime against the Hawks

They will slice and dice us

JVR in for AJ i suppose

leave the rest of the team as is. its just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic anyways given we can't kick for toffee


Outs: AJ, Lever & Oliver

Ins: JVR, Tmac & Viney

    Another no-show like today would truly make us mince for the Pies.

    The Johnson experiment is surely over. He has everything except talent.

    Lever is under-cooked but even that does not excuse his woeful performance today.

    Presumably Viney and either JVR or Jefferson will come in to shuffle the deckchairs on our rapidly sinking ship.

    If Viney is still not ready, genuine fears for his career will not be far away.

    Sad thing is if we had won today as expected there would have been real hype and an exciting buildup to the KB clash but as per usual we couldn't hold up our end of the deal.

    Collingwood are primed for a record number of out the back and Joe the goose goals.

    The guide dog association has offered to help with next week's game. Training with guide dogs in front of goal. Next week's score to improve and likely to be 7.24

    This, but Viney also in, Laurie out (Sharp sub). Probably JVR in for 2nd ruck duties. If his hands are still made of cement, then straight back to Casey.

    Lever is probably one of those players who will never be dropped, but after his 2 return games he really should be. Tmac’s form has been way better than what Rick has offered up in the 2 games (and last 3 years tbh).

    If Lever actually got a sustained run at Casey taking gimme intercepts, it might do him the world of good.

    Personnel isn't going to matter if we bring that level of pressure/effort. Doubt we go for drastic changes.

    Out: Johnson, Laurie

    In: JvR, Viney (if fit)

    Tough on Laurie given the state of the game when he was subbed in but he is last in and first out most likely.

    Injury watch on Melkshams' shoulder perhaps?


    AJ to get two weeks, straight swap for jVR. If Viney is fit then he comes in to replace probably Laurie.

    DO we roll the dice and put Jeffo in? Melks and Fritta did OK, except for their goal kicking……

    Won’t matter - we have to defend like we did for most of the day and then take our chances the other way. When we defended poorly early, they piled on 6 goals. They scored sporadically after that - but when we kick 1.12 that is all they needed to do.

    Type of player I disliked playing with. Lot of possessions but never found a man. Plenty like that in Junior footy. They win all the awards and get drafted without any one caring or noticing they can’t kick or take an overhead mark. Happy to be proven wrong but again today he had an opportunity to make a valuable kick and he couldn’t do it.

    If the Saints match was very like us, then running Collingwood very close (and nailing shots from everywhere) is also very much like us.

    I am terrified of what the Pies will do to us on KB. I haven’t been able to watch them play since that terrible violent act by that thug against Gus.

    I am in the unfortunate situation being married to a passionate Pies supporter who will expect me to either go to the game with him or watch it together on the TV.

    It’s quite the skill to kick so many behinds 😂

    Sharp was horrible today, has to make way for Viney.

    He's been horrible in every full game hes played. Folks on here get so blinded by his occasional sum cameos every now and then.

    Hes a sub par VFL standard player.

    He's a decent sub role player.

    I think we pulled the wrong rein today with Laurie as sub and Spark as a starter. I thought that before the game too.

    That said, Laurie was horrible when he came on.

    • 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.

      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.
