Spoon Trifecta?

Featured Replies

Looks like the tigers are gunna get up by 12+ goals.

The question must be asked; have our chances of winning back to back to back spoons come alive?

I'm probably getting carried away, but they have something we don't. A tall forward that can kick goals (Riewoldt).

We are no chance to win the spoon IMO. The Tigers have rolled Port and the Eagles in Melbourne, 2 of the worst teams in the competition. Nothing to get concerned about.

If our forward line kicks no more than 7-9 goals a game from now until seasons end, the MFC are a big chance to collect the spoon again.

Jack Riewoldt has found his mojo, and we should never have let the eagles beat us at home.

Hopefully tomorrow will change my view, but so far this year compared to other sides our forward line is almost a blank page.

Lift Tomorrow Demons.

We lost to the Eagles in melbourne, quite comfortably if you remember.

I agree that the eagles are one of the 2 worst sides in the league.

True and the same can be said for losing to North but we have been far more competitive than many of the others around us in the bottom 6. We can still win 3-4 games in the second half of the year which will be more than enough!

Slightly off topic but Riewoldt has just kicked his 9th! My goodness has he found some form!

A win next week over in Adelaide would probably, almost, maybe, possibly, just about put this conversation to bed. Would most definitely need to be at our best to get up in that one though, Adelaide will look it as a real chance pick up the 4 points.

Maybe? Our First Quarter efforts are critical. At the moment the team is struggling to break momentum of opposition teams early.

And our draw in the last 10 games is nowhere near as user friendly as the first 12.

Tomorrow's game could tell us a lot, as we do not have our captain or Sylvia. Someone has to really stand up and lead the side.

If we can get Jurrah back to some form towards the back end of the season we'll definitely win some games.

Since Petterd's gone down we've desperately lacked a tall forward target capable of drawing the football. Jurrah's inclusion will also see Watts improve

 

A lot of people didn't rate Jack Reiwoldt until this year. Ten goals today really signals his arrival. Just shows young forwards need patience. Good on you Jack

Think you might need to go to the University of Punt

Professor Redleg will explain why that's not a "trifecta"


Drafted No 13 in 2006.

We took Frawley at 12: very happy with that but it says something about the need for patience.

Correct Old, it is double back to back or running double twice in a row.

A turkey in bowling speak.

Not as long as West Coast & Adelaide put theirs to pasture for the early winter.

Excuse the mistake. But you knew what I was talking about.

You are not getting carried away, unlike some who think MFC were a top 4 prospect!!! MFC does have tall forwards, but at the moment they are not effective tall forwards (Miller & Watts). Green on 27 goals & then Petterd at 2 with 12 goals os not good enough, considering Petterd has been out for a while now.

Fingers crossed Dunn can kick 8 against the pies tomorrow.

We need to utilise both Dunn and Green as deep forwards, always at least one of them inside 50, and if both, one very deep.

It is still a long season ahead, but I agree that the Tigers are playing some good footy at the moment and will probably be a bigger challenge for us to beat next time around. However, just like us it's unlikely as a young side the Tigers will be unable to sustain their current form for the rest of the season and Reiwoldt will surely begin to get closer attention from now on.

Reiwoldt will surely begin to get closer attention from now on.

He's a pretty good player & seems to hold his own under pressure. The Tigers are playing with a lot of confidence & this shows in they take risks in playing on at all ccosts - which has worked for them.

I'm not very confident of beating them the next time we play.


Three-peat!

God I hope we do not finish last. I cannot handle the dees being the laughing stock of the AFL. Time to start winning again dees!!

I can't imagine us finishing last. Even though West Coast beat us, we're still a better team than them atm. And we're miles ahead of Richmond. We'll get 1-3 more wins for the season, don't worry.

We have our best chance to win at AAMI in 2 weeks in years. We might even go in favourites depending on how we play today. Also, Essendon at the MCG a few weeks later. Also got Richmond, North and Hawthorn, all at the MCG. All winnable. Can't imagine Richmond winning more than 4 games.

Riewoldt is a perfect example of the need to show patience in young key forwards. Looks like a bit of a [censored] but he is playing some absolutely dominant football the last few weeks.

Not a hope in hell! Hawks will kill us like they always do.

Surely Bailey (and a boat load of players) is in a bit of trouble if we win the spoon again, considering he stated to all and sundry that we "can't and won't win the spoon" again.

Winning the spoon is not as impossible as others are suggesting.

When did he say that?

Winning the spoon this year would be, not a disaster, but a terrible result nonetheless.

From here that would involve Richmond winning either 2 games more than us and developing a healthy percentage, or 3 games more than us, as well as West Coast and Adelaide winning 1 more game than us. I just can't see that happening.

Our draw is difficult, but I can see us winning 2-4 more gams, which makes Richmond's chances of going past us basically impossible.

  • 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.
