    Some of the moves today had me laughing. We did everything in our power to lose the game, bar forfeit.

    hahaha nice. I love the thought of that.

    Its like Demetriou gave the seal of approval for Worsfold's performance against Freo and Bailey has said "Well, its your call. If you're gonna sign off on it like that, then thats the way I'll play it..."

    Yeah exactly.... maybe this will be the match that changes the PP rule

    Mind you, at least we are taking ourselves seriously enough to do everything in our power to further our cause.

    Whats with the change 45, preparing to pass the baton??

    Also shows that with all the experimentation in the world, there is no guarantee that we won't pick up an unexpected win if the other side is lousy enough.

    DB has soared in my estimation. Everything in this game went right - he learnt a lot about a number of players, the team showed a massive amount of character to almost snatch it with the odds stacked against us (I thought it was only very good teams that get back to win games they should have lost - we came so close). But for all that, we lost and the PP's still intact. As I said, everything went right.

    Yeah have to agree with the that. I think that we were clearly the better side today and it was quite difficult to engineer the result. Credit to the players.

    Norm Smith would be turning in his grave at how his club have resorted to laying down.

    By the way, it's a known fact that the umpires call time when THEY hear the siren, which can, at times, take ages to get from the source to the umpires ear.

    We hear it instantly on the TV, but the umpire hears it often long enough after for a player to take the mark.

    I think you are right but there is also a delay after it gets to the umpires ear.

    it will take a moment no matter how quick you are to register the sound of the siren and get that whistle to your mouth to call time.. ...until he blows it the ball is in play. any which way its done and dusted now..theres teh result..we lost...darn !! :D

    Well..im rather impressed with ol' Dean ;) and yet his best laid plans ( as oft are to do ) nearly came unstuck !! Just shows how inept the Toiges possibly are thatwe stil nearly won that !! and they won last wekk...wtf ???

    Definitely some positives to take out of it.. . Posibly we may luck out with a few getting a holiday courtesy of the judiciary... two weeks ought to be ok ;)

    but seriously.. Interesting to see the 'other' sides of a few players as they showed their wares when played out of position !!! Grimes is class . he had a few companions today. Jetta will do quite of thankyou.. but thats possibly for the player review threads.

    Today was all about an outcome.. we got it... just !! phewwwwwwwwwwwww :o

    Last week>

    Essendon 2.5 (17) 5.6 (36) 10.9 (69) 14.12 (96)

    Richmond 3.2 (20) 8.4 (52) 12.9 (81) 15.11 (101)

    So, were Richmond so good last week, or are the Dons?

    Unlike a few others who think as you do, you never stick around and back up your argument.

    You're just a sniper.

    And, if Mr Morton wanted to, he could reverse it and say the shame is yours for not taking into consideration the long term future of the footy club...

    It is strange isnt it Richmond were good last week and the week before and what about Sydney?? They were shocking last week against us and yet they almost beat StKilda?? Throw in Port as well... we seem to have a strange effect on some teams :blink:

    Grimes!!!

    I see what you're trying to say. And I agree totally.

    This is the most nuanced argument I have seen for a while.

    But, let me interject for one moment with this...

    Petterd!!!

    Maybe we are both right?

    I feel for the players, they were a better team than Richmond. Hands down. Who would of thought Jordan McMahon! Good to see Warnock help out Davey in the fight against King. Sylvia back next week. Nice username change 45.

    Yeah, do you mean the delay between when he hears it and when he puts the whistle to his mouth? If so, that makes sense.

    • 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.

      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.
