Ha.

I've always loved Tmac

I don't think I've ever said a bad word against him ever.

Always been one of my faves and one of the most committed players we've ever had.

    Would hope the brains trust at MFC see that the forward line actually looked a lot better than it has for a while and keep it that way, I thought it functioned very well. I'd hate for them to mess with it again just because someone like Petty might be available when really he is probably best to take Lever's spot right now anyway.

    Surely they would see that too and want to just let it lie for a bit. Give it a chance!

    On that too, don't you dare drop Tmac again he looks so much better right now than both May and Lever, just more fit and mobile plus a big guy, why he hasn't been in the team the whole time is beyond me but hope he stays now and I hope we get another year out of him in this form too, he's a gem.

    Shout out to Fritsch too...played beautifully and unselfishly he looked refreshed and a great team player and able to kick goals, he was fantastic and I hope we see more of that version of him that we all know and love to see!

    Yes please.

    Petty down back again where the poor bloke plays really well. And would be a far better option than Lever currently. For sure. It's been so long I think many of us may have forgotten how good Petts is as a defender.

    Playing forward he struggles to take an uncontested mark.

    Back as a defender he would take contested ones frequently.

    Played a huge part in our 21 success. To be fair Lever and May were cat their peak alongside him.O remember him absolutely crushing port in Adelaide one day.

    But now we have Tmac reinventing himself to reinventing himself as a defender again.

    Tmac is looking almost as good as a defender of five years ago. He held it altogether on Sunday.

    Him, Turner and Petty is strong enough and maybe we could trial May forward.

    Id actually prefer Turner fwd but he's probably our main defender of the future and I guess May as a fwd is too late now. To

    Anyway if Goody can be stubborn about this than so can I.

    Let's just hope Roo finds his old mojo and Jeffo shows what others have said he can do. At least he's earned a spot for next week.

    I hope so.

    Nothing to do with TMac, I was thinking more along the lines of the brevity of the post.

    If we are relying on Melksham we may have a problem with Father Time.

    Other than Turner I can't see anyone in the team or at Casey coming near filling his role

    Spot on DJ! unless injury intervenes IMO we have 2026 to find a replacement. Have a look at how fit and lean he is, deserves another year contract.

    OD, I’m prepared to put out here that Luker Kentfield will start to display Hawkins-like potential after a full pre-season. That’s my prediction anyway. (My prediction during pre-season this year was that Disco Turner would become our most improved player this year - and I think I’m not far off nailing that one). I think Luker, JVR and Jeffo could well be sensational in our forward line in the next year or two. In other words, we don’t need an outsider - we already have what we need.

    I hope you are 100% correct NC. It's a shame Kentfield had such a poor preseason, he wasn't just injured he had a very serious lung infection which keep him from any training for at least 6 weeks. I don't think Petracca has Yet got over his horrendous injury 13 months ago. On a number of occasions this year he has seemed hesitant. The second half on Sunday was the best 2 quarters I have seen from him this year. Sadly at present his kicking has been poor, no idea why. Before the season started I wonder how well he would be this year. Most players take a while to recover from big injuries even if they look physically fit. Here's hoping for a much better 2026. I hope so I am running out of years.

    • 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

    • 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.
