Not an easy assignment. But I'd be happy with 1-1.

Thoughts anyone?

... and do we need to make any changes?

 

Wow, didnt realise how tough the next 2 weeks are.

Cant see us winning either, but stranger things have happened.

If this team remains competetitve at AAMI unlike in previous years, then I will be stoked.

I just dont want any more thrashings, I want us to always be having a dip and i want the youngsters to continue to excite.

As for changes vs Adelaide. I cant think of anyone i would drop from the Freo game. hell even Jamar, Warnock and garland stood up.

yep they certainly did. I'd like to have Whelan back in, I'd like think he is in our best 22.

We've got Saints at the 'Dome after the Hawks and then the FILTH!!!!!!!!!!! and from that perspective I'd be happy with 1-3 (no questions asked on which game we win haha)

 
Good heavens man--you'd retain Bruce?Give him 1 more chance?!

Adelaide and Hawthorn a flag contenders. We are not.

We will most likely lose both...

Can people shut up about the next games, I want to enjoy this a little longer.


hell even Jamar, Warnock and garland stood up.

Agreed, that was a big thing for us. These 3 would probably considered the 'weakest' of the 22 that lined up yesterday.

Jamar made a huge difference in the middle with his body size against Sandilands, who was just too strong and tall for White to counter, every time he wasnt taking bounces in the centre, we were getting smashed in clearances.

Warnock continues to improve bit by bit each week he's in, he showed signs against Brisbane and continued that. He looks too similar to Bruce/Junior/Morton and so I didnt realise how much he had of it till I saw the replay and realised it was him and not one of that trio.

And Garland, that misguided punch that lead to Farmers goal in the last aside, easily played his 2nd best game for us (his debut against Swans being the benchmark), he actually showed some of that ability that he shows at Sandy where he looks quite classy, if he can gain confidence at this level he may yet turn into a handy AFL player

30 point loss and 60 point loss... but improvements everywhere. Bate and Miller to start owning the forward line... midfield still having problems but improving. Gameplan starting to get stuck in their minds...

Start of the year we would have 5 or so good passages of play...

Rounds 3-5 we would play at least 1 good quarter.

Against Geelong we played 2 good quarters...

And yesterday we out-played the dockers in 2 whole quarters. Our two were just better than their two...

We are improving. But the crows and Hawks are VERY VERY good...

One thing's for sure. We will win more games this year.

 

They're both very tough asks, but I'd consider us a better chance against the Hawks considering our terrible record at AAMI.

A few players should become available over the long break, too.

We can be looking at PJ, Whelan and Sylvia as return options.

Put that together with the improving form of Frawley, Warnock and Garland and we aren't in too bad shape.

I get the feeling Morton will benefit hugely from the week off. Rivers, Robertson and Moloney (for example) still have the shadow of persistent injuries or underdone preseasons on them - the week off will freshen them up a little too.

We could actually find ourselves with selection headaches, with too many players pushing for a spot!

I definately think the 'competitive' tag is one we can reach for, at the least.


We WILL win them both.

If that happens (and trust me, I hope it does) then I will never post on Demonland ever again.

That would make a few people happy.

lol

Bell - OUT

Whelan - IN

Bartram in the firing line.

Be happy with 4 quarters of competitive football

Looking at the BIG picture prefer we lose enough games to ensure best trade option for next season

Currently we need to rely on some other teams

The 2 new teams also may cause some problems with next years draft


We WILL win them both.

Mate, i can feel it too, if we play like we did in the second half against crows, well who knows.

and im watching da replay of the second half its look of tho, Melbourne skills and decisions are starting to look better and the players are use to the gameplan.

  • 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

  • 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.
