This club will do anything to not play Billings or Laurie 😅

Good luck Culley, I'm not sure a slow midfielder that's a below average kick is the answer to our problems but it's nice to see a change anyway. He can take a mark and runs both ways which is better than most of our mids.

Edit: probably being a bit harsh, hope he smashes it in his debut game against his former side.

    The AFLW is a tough sell.

    I was surprised to read that the average attendance for the Women's EPL (probably the most successful league) is not much more than 2,000.

    The NRL seem to be doing it a little better.

    Women's cricket took 50 odd years to reach its present stage and below international level it's a media desert

    Yes, attendances dont match the resources the AFL and our club put into the game. True on 50 years for crivket. I went to an Ashes game played in Bulleen in the late 60s. It always had players of standard.

    Jai Culley making his debut!

    Debutant Announcement 📣🚨

    That's great news, and something that should have happened last week (if not earlier).

    But ... having sat out last week as the carry over emergency, Jai now hasn't played for two weeks. How is that optimal preparation for playing your first game? Surely we should be rewarding players for good performances when they happen, not several weeks down the track. Do we actually consider the consequences of the decisions we make, or just throw darts at the wall and see what comes?

    I agree that a debut for Adams also makes sense (and should have happened last week). Brown is the other one who deserves a game this week.

    IN: Jai but Out: who?
    Assume - Sharp is in for Spargo as Sub.

    It’s criminal how we were knocked out of finals contention at the half way point of the season with the second easiest draw.

    With St Kilda, North and West Coast twice on top of beating Brisbane and Sydney, arguably should have beaten Collingwood, we should be going into the game this week with our finals hopes still alive, but instead, we face a “must win match” against the 1 win wooden spooner to save Goodwin’s job..

    The mere fact that this is labeled as a “must win” says all there is to know..

    Jai Culley (career w/l record: 0-12) to debut for Melbourne on Saturday against the 1-18 WCE for whom he notched those losses

    He’s going 0-13 isn’t he?

    That is miles off the mark. I know a lot of women who think the AFLW needs a lot of work, is currently almost unwatchable and question the true reasoning behind establishing the league.

    Personally, I couldn’t care either way.

    I’d like to see Laurie get a good run rather than be the sub however surely Jefferson comes back in for a game against a team with an ordinary backline. Perfect scenario to build more confidence in the lad.

    I reckon Jeffo would get more confidence at Casey. he has looked average at AFL level

    Making Spargo the scapegoat and dropping him after he only played half a quarter as the sub (and he laid a good tackle in that as well) seems like an odd move.

    Not really. Sharp is a much better sub option. Spargo is a good inclusion in your top 22 in a team that is performing well. He compliments others. In a team performing poorly he is useless. It's no surprise his best years were 2021 and 2018 (then again they were most of the teams' best years).

    We drop a 46 point lead to a bottom 4 team and the only changes we make are resting a 19 year old and omitting the sub, yet I'm not surprised.

    • 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.
