Fair call IMO.

Has not worked as a defender and that’s on the coach not him.

Absolutely correct, another player mismanaged

    Watching them warm up, once again I am reminded of how much the Kolt looks like the great Jako.

    Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful if today he chose to play like him!

    I can see either Howes replaces Lever in the side or Howes, Bowey, Salem and Judd play the four "small" defender roles allowing Windsor to return to the wing. If that latter is the case, it would suggest that the "Windsor to the backline" experiment is over.

    I damm well hope so with Windsor.
     

    Good sub choice. Windsor was incredibly poor last week as a defender and lost Butler defensively way too easily.

    Statement made.

    But.. maybe the coaches need to take some flack for this because Windsor isn't a defender and should be playing the role he was drafted as and that's a outside winger. Leave him there and let him develop.

    Completely agree. He is not a defender. I think he should do a straight swap with X who I think would be superb in that role, on the opposite side to McVee.

    Nice to see neale up there with the sliders with a smile on his face, because during the week Bec didn't think he'd be able to be up there

    Windsor as sub does not surprise me. He is my 2nd favourite current player but his move to defence has shown his defensive limitations. I hope he burns it up when he comes on. I am surprised by Kolt being selected on form, but the coaching and footy department love him and are backing him in.

     

    Putting this development into Windsor will pay dividends. Sure he looks great attacking and running but if doesn’t learn to defend and position himself well, he will never be a gun winger or mid

    Still pretty sick. Heading in now but may not go the distance.

    At least get me a good first half of footy.

    Everyone seems to be out there. Sharp call seems to be a Furphy, other than he came out with a small group in full kit early on.

    Wonder if anyone was dicey to get up for the game and Sharp was nearly called up to replace them.

    Have a feeling we get up today. Expect to filth to have started their bye loading last week. It’s now our GF. Wet conditions will mean a lower scoring game which I think is in our favour.

    Langford to have a big game.

    On my way in to the MCG, last time I watched Dees v C'Wood live, the Dees won ... hope its an omen 😈

    Just have this feeling that C'Wood's great run has to hit a pothole sometime soon ... hoping its a big MFC pothole this arvo 😁

    It's sunny and clear.


    Biggest test of the year coming up, we’ve had at least three years to study how Collingwood will play. No need to check the pressure ratings because oddly enough we’ll be able to tell simply by watching the game if we’ve come switched on to play. Also a big difference in laying a tackle and laying an effective tackle. I’d be interested to know what the build up to this game internally has been like.

    Can’t be caught guarding grass otherwise they’ll put us to the sword very quickly.

    Need to minimise the “long down the line to Gawn” as they’ll be all over this by setting up numbers around Gawn, attempting to spoil the ball then run in waves away from the contest.

    Are we the only team that plays two key fwds for reasons other than kicking goals? Petty doesn’t kick a lot of goals but provides structure and ties up a key defender freeing up our other tall fwd who’s apparently is only in the side to play second ruck or my personal favourite, bring the ball to ground.

    Would ideally love more delivery inside fwd 50 from Melksham who not only picks the right option but kicks to the fwds advantage.

    Sadly if we don’t come out firing from the opening bounce we unlikely to fire up as the game progresses. Let’s bring relentless tackling, let’s use the corridor and let’s open up our fwd 50, better chance of converting directly in front and more options for our smalls.

    Another 5 goal game from Kosi please.

    Give em hell.

    Not too bad thanks GWW! All of the numbers are heading in the right direction, but the chemo/immunotherapy is making me feel like [censored] and draining my energy resources. Thanks for your concern… greatly appreciated!

    • 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.
