THE KADATJI MAN

20 months is a long time in football. Flashback to round 22 2008.

Final score Richmond 18.13 - 121. Melbourne 6.5 - 41. They laughed at us. We were totally terrible and they thought they were destined for the finals in 2009. It was also Jack Grimes' first game. Thank goodness he barracked for the Dees as a kid, otherwise he might have applied for a spot with the Gold Coast.

Flash forward to round 4 2010. Ironically both sides only have 11 players from the lineups who are part of todays team. Missing players are in CAPs.

They humiliated us in August 2008. Surely todays clash is a revenge match for the club, for the 11 remaining Demons,and especially for Grimes. No further motivation required. GO DEES!!

 

The conditions at the MCG differ greatly from last week. There is no chance of rain today, cloud cover is aprox 80% and at the first bounce the wind should be around <8km/h. I think footy conditions will be excellent today taking all that into consideration.

I'm just hoping the boys kick better than 7.15 this week.

A few thoughts on some of todays players.

I think Sylvia has been wetting himself in anticipation to set foot out in the MCG. He will be coming out all guns a blazing.

Scully having a couple of average weeks (in his standards), I think he will come out with a point to prove today, seeing he sets himself VERY high standards. I do realise this is only his 4th AFL game. Can not wait to see how awesome he will be when he has played out this season and another full pre season under his belt. Good times :)

Watching last weeks replay, it also looks as though Bruce is getting back into the groove of things, in defense he was pressuring well, up forwards his kicking let him down, he does seem like the 'fire' is back in his belly. He will have a good game today.

Bennell is just getting better and better as the weeks roll on, I think his inclusion in the forward line has made him more comfortable. He is exciting to watch. Love watching him with just a sniff of space.

Jamar seems to be an issue with me. He is pretty much rucking on his own, I do not like to see him fatiguing early into the season due to little to no support. But I guess the footy department know what they are doing. We need Spencer or Martin to step up, Martin would be great to rotate through the forward line. Spencer to me still looks like a fish out of water.

Just to show how badly the Tigers are travelling, their VFL affiliate Coburg lost to Frankston today even with all those blokes they dropped this week.

 

Well, Scully played and Newton didn't.

And to think that some supporters wanted Scully dropped this week.

Astonishing.

  • 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.
