One win is great, but we need to continue to improve. We have a big month of footy that can really show case our future and show how far we have come in 12 months.

Over the next 6 weeks we play Richmond, Brisbane, North Melb, Bulldogs, West Coast, Port Adelaide(Darwin). It is a great mix of 4 teams that shouldn't make the 8 and imo should be bottom 4 and 2 teams that will be looking for a top 4 spot.

The next 6 weeks is very exciting, hopefully we can continue to improve and win the games we should win.

    I wouldn't lump Port Adelaide with the likes of Richmond, North and the Eagles, but that combination of easier and harder opponents is going to really show where our team is at.

    Hell, I think we're a pretty good chance to be 5 and 5.

    Works well for us, alternating between good teams and "beatables" each week.

    It'll mean the kids get continual timely reminders of what is expected from a top team.

    If we played too many teams at our level in a row we'd get a rude shock when we finally played a contender.

    Also works well keeping the confidence high, cos too many shellackings in a row would hurt.

    Spot on-This Draw just might work out perfectly for a team that is learning to win properly (the Top 4 way) B)

    Possibly we can beat Richmond, North and Wet Toast. Port in round 9 is in NT. No real form guide.

    For mine, 4 & 5 after round 9.

    Then Cats, Tankers and Filth. Could be 4 & 8 after 12.

    Agree, the boys took on the doggies last year and nearly come up trumps. Good chance this year. But I would not put money on it, still a longe way to go this season. Good to see everyone excited either way.

    If you'd have told me we were going to be 2-2 with a one point loss by round 4 I'd have taken it. Likewise if you told me we were going to be 5-5 I'd have taken that too.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
