All week, the talk of how many possies G.Ablett would get, how good is he? blah blah blah

And our first centre bounce today, NOT ONE PLAYER WAS WITHIN 5 METERS OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

then just trots off and kicks the quickest, easiest goal in the history of the AFL

2nd bounce, junior had the presence of mind to stand next to him!

Whilst we covered him pretty well, the start of the game was just plain dumb

    Yes I noticed it too and wondered whether any forethought was put into team planning at any stage .

    This was THE biggest oversight ever imaginable , and who was to blame ?

    I couldn't help but laugh to be honest. It was that ridiculous the way the game started.

    But after the Cats got their second and were looking ominous, the guys really settled well and displayed some genuine self belief. I thought we genuinely won the first quarter. Just couldn't put it on the scoreboard, as has been too often the case.

    Oh, we definitely won that quarter around the ground, we just didn't put it on the scoreboard.

    9 Seconds from a centre bounce is nothing, remember the Dawks goaling with 7 seconds remaining on the clock kicking out after a behind? :rolleyes:

    Nice memory. Yes, it was 7 seconds.

    And I still can't believe it.

    Incorrect. His after burners were just to much for the Old J-mac to handle.

    Makes a fool of posters suggesting we dont tag Ablett. :rolleyes:

    It was a poor oversight at the start and hardly unpredictable.

    LOL, I new this was coming 10sec into the game!

    Key to it though was Blake getting the first tap. He dropped it perfectly into Ablett's path. Blake killed us in the first half ruck contests. Anyone who thinks ruckmen don't matter just don't get it.

    They dont.

    Cox and Sandilands have been the best rucks in the AFL for the past 2 years and their teams have gone nowhere. Ruckman dont influence games like midfielders and the way they used to.

    Sitting in the MCC seats yesterday, we heard a loud high pitch voice coming from behind us. Turning around it originated from the 3AW box. It was Rex doing his fat lady singing, 10 seconds into the game! Perhaps a tad premature, but nonetheless accurate.

    But didn't you like how, when we played one-on-one in the first quarter we actually broke even with them?!

    We choked up their options when clearing the ball out of the backline and forced them to kick to one-on-one contests.

    By the way, don't kid yourself, Ablett was down on form yesterday because he was carrying a groin injury, not because we successfully shut him down.

    Oh and go refer to my post from last week and quote me saying that we should leave Ablett on his own in the centre square and let him do what he wants :rolleyes: ... that was the stupidest line-up at a first bounce that you are ever likely to see!

    P.S.- Ablett may have 'struggled' (I wish all our players struggled like he does), but that still left Bartel and Chapman to do as they please. You cannot shut down their midfield, but as Bailey said before the game, the key is not to stop them getting the ball, it's to stop them from having options to kick to... which we did really well in the first quarter in particular.

    Rex Hunt is a FAT PIECE OF S%$T, WHO HAS NO SENSE OF DECENCY FOR HIS FAMILY. HIS STUPID COMMENTS AND NICKNAMES ARE BORING AND OLD. HE USES HIS POSITION IN THE MEDIA TO BULLY PEOPLE.

    If I ever meet you Hunt i will stick a surf fishing rod up your behind.

    Ahh what an idiot.

    And then we responded and hit the front later in the quarter. Was probably the highlight of the day.

    • 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.
