I thought he played well today too. But I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a 'very good footballer'. Average at best. Can't see what you've based that comment on.

can't speak for rollo2, but we are related and I think he knows what I know...

bartram and dunn had the very best coaching/training from their junior years...

they are team, team, team players and we need them if we are going to win that elusive premiership...

    I doubt the rest of our team are not team players.

    I also doubt these two will be there when we lift the cup.

    Calling someone a 'very good player' based on one game is a bit rich. Especially considering a lot of his other games have been mediocre.

    Like I said, a good game, and he keeps his spot no question. But I wouldn't go calling him anything more than an average player.

    Well for some here who say he is a butcher he shut them up.

    And he hasn't played one good game, he's actually played a good season - his first one before he did his ankle against the Crows.

    This win is great! It is great for confidence, 4 points, and good memories.. However, if we keep making basic skill errors under pressure we will NEVER beat a top 4 team.

    Bigger picture people. 4 points great but bigger picture... hopefuly we will have the confidence of gods for next week and the week after... Go Dees!!

    I'm sick of this attitude.

    There you are in your comfortable self-righteousness looking down at the rest of us - the easily pleased unwashed - and saying that we don't see the "bigger picture" and that we will never beat a top 4 team when we make basic skill errors. 'No sh!t' to that last part but come on, we are talking about beating top 4 teams now? We are talking about making a semi(which is the reward for being 'top 4')?

    We have won the last two wooden spoons and won one game in 2010 with a team that is younger than Rd 22, 2009. Enjoy the up and down year (mainly the last one) where these kids develop and fail, and start to fail less, and start on their way.

    Fans looking at the "bigger picture" just want to sound like the sane one in the asylum with the foresight to know what areas need to be improved and what problems we are facing.

    Hey! I know that stuff, but I am going to enjoy the sh!tty win against the Crows and the gallant loss against Collingwood.

    This season is all about seeing the team try and fail (they just are not good enough yet) and I am going to enjoy the ride.

    Who is with me?!

    I have to say, we very nearly did beat a top 4 team. Had a couple of umpiring calls gone the right way we would have taken the Pies. Nobody can say they don't qualify as a top side.

    So yes, I am very much with you and happy with what we saw on the weekend.

    Not me! I propose to start a thread every other week saying we should sack Yoda, and on alternate weeks saying we will win the flag.

    I hate being bi-polar. It's fantastic.

    I'm with you totally. These guys are incredible, the instant, the exact moment we stop being the league's whipping boys and looking a team that might emerge from the bottom 4, they start being critical and underwhelmed that we are not premiership contenders. There will be occasions this year where we put in a shocker and get done badly, you watch these heroes come straight out and tell us how right there were. ONE STEP AT A TIME BOYS. OUT OF THE BOTTOM 4, MAKE THE FINALS, PUSH DEEP IN THE FINALS, GRAND FINAL DAY. We are on a long road and ahead of where we should be right now and when you look at our games per player stat combined with the players we have out combined with the young talent that hasn't even got started yet and the picture is very, very good. You hear me talking Rhino?

    Melbourne Best: A Davey J Bennell L Dunn M Warnock R Bail M Bate J Frawley

    To be honest i think they have got that wrong

    Seems a bit churlish of them to have left out Junior. And the Russian played well too.

    I'll take it as comes. One win at a time. I've been a supporter for 46 years and every time we've been rated as something we've always come down with a thud. The year that eats my craw the most is 1990 when Collingwood won the flag. The Dee's were widely regarded as favourites before the finals. The draw between Collingwood and West Coast gave us another week off to high five and congratulate each other before the Dee's blew it in a shocker against West Coast. The only reason Collingwood won was because Melbourne wasn't in the GF.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
