Windsor,Langford and Langdon ........ good idea as midfielder.

Would like to see Sestan defence and perhaps give Howes a go forward.

None of the above is going to happen as per usual . It is like

This seems to be a running trend which is sad, everyone offering up our backs to go forward. Surely the club after also doing that with Petty, Turner, Tmac will maybe start pulling for a decent forward instead of sending our backs forward.

    Nathan Buckley described Gold Coast as a side made for summer football.

    So I think the only way we're a chance on Saturday is if the conditions are damp at a minimum, and it doesn't look like much rain (if any) is forecast on Saturday afternoon.

    What are your (early) match ups at the pointy end of the fields?


    If they were Melbourne we’d be saying they’ve been dropping games because of mid season loading. They play us this weekend. We’ll beat them and a tiny glint will appear in our eyes…..maybe just maybe we can still win this!

    After poor loses to the saints and Port I have lost interest in the 2025 season. My granddaughters playing basketball has been way more enjoyable. A Dee’s friend will be in SEQ this week, his answer to the question of whether he is going to the game was “why spoil my weekend” It appears to me that we have slid to the also rans group. Seriously short of quality players who can kick goals. The 2- 3 good years which include a premiership have come and gone. I guess it was good while it lasted.

    Yeah I think you've nailed it.

    We'll kick 7.13 and they won't miss with 14.5.

    We'll dominate either the second or third quarter but kick an atrocious 3.7. We'll then give an undisciplined free kick goal with 5 minutes left in the quarter and they'll kick another quick 2 to put the game to bed.

    You can already write the script.

    Having just seen the injury report and noting Johnson has had ankle surgery, I think Will Verral will be a sneaky chance thgis week. GW made the suggestion and now the opportunity arises. Let Jeff or JVR play a key position and have Verral as Max's support.

    Spot on Old Dee. Been going to the Vixen’s games and watching my daughter play netball in the Northern Football Netball League. Far more enjoyable. I love the Dees and will be forever grateful for 2021, but gee they have broken me this year.

    I’m convinced that AFL is actually WWE, all scripted. 😂 it’s the only thing that explains how many inside 50’s we get, and that we lose most games with kicking so poorly. Has to be a script..

    JvR’s first milestone… 50 games. We made this week’s banner as well as next week’s (vs Adelaide) two weeks ago and left a space across the top of both lest he doesn’t line up this weekend. We have a printed strip acknowledging his 50th which will be stuck down prior to the match.

    It’s Kolt’s 20th birthday on Saturday (gameday) and hopefully he’s named in one of the sides (VFL if not AFL) because we have some Happy Birthday Kolt posters printed, and inflated “20” balloons. We don’t do the birthday thing with every player but we have a couple of cheer squad gals who’re massive Kolt fans and this is their doing 🤗 If he doesn’t play on Saturday we’ll keep the posters for next year and get an inflatable “1” to replace the “0”

    JVR hopefully working into some form

    Perhaps Laurie or Brown in for Howes if we want to mix things up

    If Jefferson continues to play well and can be more physical he might get a game in a couple of weeks

    I hope Kolt plays VFL. He should be ripping Casey games to shreds by now. He needs to be held to the same standards as other youngsters.

    It will be interesting to see who we prioritise for a negative role. Anderson or Rowell? I’d go after Anderson personally. Is Lindsay fit enough to learn some lessons? Something different for him and the midfield group. I’d get Clazz to start on Rowell’s shoulder at all times. Chin to Rioli. Push Salem forward, bring McVee up a little into Salo’s role. Simples…. Oh and try anyone not named Disco Turner as a key forward. Literally anyone else.

    B Howes May Lever

    B Bowey Turner McVee

    C Langdon Viney Langford

    F Petracca McDonald* Melksham

    F Pickett JVR Salem

    R Gawn Oliver Lindsay

    Windsor Jefferson Rivers Laurie Fritsch

    Out Sparrow Petty

    In Jefferson Laurie McDonald

    If Petty gets picked to play forward this week I will demand a Senate Inquiry.

    *I understand that McDonald is unlikely to line up as a forward.

    • 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.
