Demons v Crows

In what ended in a closely fought game where our ruckmen dominated, Melbourne put up a good fight despite losing two players in the first qtr.

We should have won but our boys missed 4 shots at goal in the last few minutes including Greeny’s 30 metre one out in front. It was a good effort considering the paper bag retching rough plane trip for a few of the boys combined with late arrival and hurried pre game preparations.

Warnock: Good at fullback

Jones: OK

Bartrum: OK. Needs more penetrating kick.

Gysberts: Not ready yet.

Miller: Played CHF quite well.

Frawley: real good

Trengrove: Excellent. Works hard and covers huge amt of ground.

Dunn: Does well as a tagger.

Petterd: Real good

Grimes: Very classy. Like the look of the lad.

Green: Good

Maric: Not ready yet.

Bell: Did well as tagger on Thompson til bad injury.!!

McDonald: Good.

Jurrah: Trade mark goal back over head then injured!!

Cheney: Good. Possible Tagger??

Rivers: Good til injured!!!

McNamara: Good in back lines. Cool under pressure.

Scully: Worked tirelessly for team & covered a huge amt of ground. Impressive.

Martin: Love his endeavour but fwd line not his spot.

Jamar: Clearly improving with age. I never thought I would say that too.

Bail: Did ok with limited opportunities.

Strauss: Not ready yet.

Spenser: Rucked strongly. Good around ground.

Newton: Not ready yet. Drops ball from too high when kicking(I.M.O)

 

I thought Strauss, Maric and Gysberts were all good. Id go as far as to say Strauss and Maric will play round 1. Just my opinion.

Did you happen to catch what happened to Rivers? I was standing behind our interchange and noticed him limping heavily after the game?

Probably just re occuring knee soreness...they usually play safe with that sort of thing. That's what it looked like when he limped past out back

I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere... who gave away the free at the end? Was it there? Obviously it's of no real concern but it whoever it was has hopefully learned a lesson about keeping a cool head in critical moments like that

Most posts here suggested we dominated the rucks, with BOTH the Russian and Spencer playing well, especially Spencer round the ground. Does this mean we used the Russian affectively up forward as well? This is a really important area in round one as it is one of the Hawks biggest weaknesses, and we need to fill the likely non availabilty of Watts and liam. Anyone with comments who was there? If we can get this right it will give us a huge boost as Jamar has played very very effectively in the pivot in the past, and on his day is an excellent pack mark.

Exciting times.

Sorry...I should have clarified that in this game they were not ready.....have not seen other games.

From what I recall we didn't use either of them up forward. It was raining most of the game so our small forward set up was working ok. I agree with you about having to have a couple of talls against the hawks. At this stage we'll have Russian and Spencer rucking. You would excpect either of them could rest up forward.

 

So Frawley was excellent and Warnock good at full back. Can someone tell me whom played on Tippett?

Warnock did. The way the radio coverage had it you'd think he absolutely smashed warnock, though i think he did a good job,

Warnock played on Tippett. Id say Tippett only touched the ball five times but took his chances and kicked 5. Tippett took an absolute hanger in the pocket!

Cant say I agree with you. I was at the game and thought all three of them did very well.

Glad someone else was at the game. I forgot to mention No.13...didn't know who he was as there was no name on the sheet. Have heard he is referred to as "pencil" and i see someone mention the name Tippet. Are they one and the same. Anyway No.13 got a lot of the ball plus made a few mistakes. (Must be human)

13 Is Jordie Mckenzie


who gave away the free!?

Warnock gave away the free as far as I know. The real question to my mind is whether it actually was a free. According to the radio coverage Tippet should have had a free kick every time the ball entered the Crows' 50, even when he was on the bench. Given that we'd been handling the high and long balls into the forward line quite comfortably all day, I don't see why Warnock would suddenly have decided to grab Tippet on that occasion, so I have to wonder if it was a friendly hometown decision. Obviously there is no way of telling from the only coverage we had here in Vic, so I'd love to here from someone who was there.

  • 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.
