    I find it quite easy.

    We all know (or should know) that young teams are notoriously inconsistent.

    Why should we be any different?

    It's not that hard when you use your noggen.

    Players in (in my opinion) our best 22 with less than 50 AFL games: Bail, Bennel, Garland, Grimes, Gysberts, Jurrah, McKenzie, Petterd, Scully, Tapscott, Trengove, Watts, Wonaemirri.

    That's 13 out of 22.

    Then look at the players with less than 50 AFL games who are right on the cusp of pushing into our best 22 + those still developing: Maric, Jetta, Martin + Blease, Strauss, Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Cook, Howe, McDonald, Nicolson, Evans. Add Viney to that group.

    We are a VERY inexperienced team. We will have our ups and downs.... but look at the bigger picture. In 2 years time we will be ready to peak and all those guys mentioned will be pushing 80-100 games!

    Like to know how Viney will be at 80-100 games in 2 years!

    In light of the probable delisting of Cook I thought I'd give this a bump.

    I've had more women than you've had men. ie. A lot.

    This just shows your stupidity mate. You're someone that still thinks calling someone gay is an insult.

    Didn't realize it was school holidays again so soon.

    Lol... That's a very possessive way to talk about women but don't worry you'll learn respect when you get older!

    If you think that Darling/Cook is the only problem with our recruiting then I suggest you have a long hard look at our list.

    No one expects the recruiters to get it right all the time, but a couple every now and then wouldn't hurt.

    • 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

    • 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.

      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.
