I think any thoughts of a player rift with the coach was put to bed based on the reaction of Garland and McKenzie on the bench when we won. Would have been nice to see Neeld in the middle of the huddle. I did not see Sellar in the middle being washed with powerade. Did anyone else?

 

At halftime, the TV commentary referred to a change in Neeld's game plan - players playing naturally - I didn't hear all of the comments - can anyone please expand on these comments? (I did, of course, see the play, but screen vision is limited.)

For the first time, I saw the players playing like natural footballers and thankfully not trying to follow a complicated plan, and surprise, surprise, it resulted in a win, albeit ugly football!

 

Who cried?

Go on, fess up...

I did.

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEEEAAAHHHHH!!!

only 5 games and % out of the 8

HA HA!


AS much as I hate the Pies and Carlton, ever since the 2000 Grand Final I HATE Essendon. That felt really good tonight. Skillful? - not particularly. Great forward spread? - ummm no. But great gut-wrenching, hard at it, never-give up, mongrel footy and the free flowing Essendon crumbled.

 

Fair to say I'm pretty happy about that win. Garland's junior coaches obviously were on to something when they played him forward as a junior.

Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, but I'm now really looking forward to next weeks game against the Pies...Neeld will know exactly what is needed to get over the top of them.


I'm guessing someone from 'Land told Neeld about our want for Garlz to go forward at one of those supporter meetings

I can't believe this! This ones as sweet as ever and thanks especially to those believers Jackie and Harfnut!

Bombers are our bunnies again!

Did I say hardnut or halfnut haha oh well

And we will b off the bottom. Yes SS, Rivers definitely bog for me, a great effort by all who really stuck at it all game.

Good to see you on the bandwagon HN. Welcome aboard.

Nah, nothing different about Neeld's approach. Just hard, contested, disciplined footy using the same game plan over 4 quarters.

Mark Neeld. Get around 'im!

I love football again :)


All of you who bag Neeld - shove that up where it fits.

He's the future of this club.

Thank you Mark. And bloody good onya!

As they showed the CarscumPort who rt who game on Australia network I had to rely on Matt Bergin on Twitter (did a greta job as usual way ahead of the afl automated scoreboard) I could not see this defining moment in our club's future.

Just the same it sure feels good. And all those who dpubted where Mark Neeld and DonMclardy and the rest are taking us should now get on the money and believe in what these guys are doing.

GO DEES!!!!

Enjoy the win boys, and all the Demonland folks. I gotta say I've been critical of Neeld but he did a great job tonight. I was so happy for him at the siren because you began to understand the pressure he was under. Good to see Don give him a big hug in the rooms too.

Grimesy was a real leader in that last quarter. Watts was good. Col Garland up forward was inspired. Beamer and Sylvia tried really hard without a lot of reward.

Best of all we played like a team.

That song of ours is alright isn't it? ;-)

Bombers are our bunnies!

Looking forward to next week.

Don't expect to hear much from the trolls this week Jackie and Hardnut etc etc!

Thats a great thing!

I'm.goin to buy the paper tomorrow and enjoy my eggs.

Suck thT right up media and all the haters!

This is one for the believers!

 

Who cried?

Go on, fess up...

I did.

I did. Sad but true.

Relief probably more than anything.

Felt like vomiting for most of the last quarter. Nearly lost my [censored] when they called touched on the goal line.

Who cares why or how we won right now. All that matters is that finally we have experienced some success. Regardless of how minor!

  • 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.
