NAB Challenge 1 - Richmond v Melbourne

Featured Replies

I'm more excited by the way Melbourne played than the result, especially considering the fact that most of the forward line was missing yet we were still able to kick a decent score.

 

Good write up.

Nice call on Terlich, sounds familiar;)

Thanks! Just made me feel good to watch.

A pleasure to watch, and really happy for everybody that loves this club. A baby step but we should all enjoy the moment.

 

The composure of guys like Vince and Tyson showed they will be valuable pick ups for us. Last year our guys generally would have panicked under pressure, but watching Vince thread the ball out of the back line was great. Early days, but there appears to be a new sense of purpose and confidence within the team. Looking forward to seeing Viney, Watts, Hogan and Dawes come in.

First time poster here.

I don't want to get excited (I've been through that with the Dees for years), but what I really liked tonight was that we played some decent football. Still, we butchered some easy kicks but players were playing to aplan and were trusting that other players would be where they were supposed to be. And that to quote Bruce was "delicious".

I've been slack with renewing my membership cos I live in Tassie and don't get to go to games, but I'm renewing right now!

I will let myself get a bit excited tho. JKH!!!! WOOOOOWWWEEEEEEE!!!

I might have to get down to Tassie - just to get away from the hype.

Gotta love it hey, it is just fantastic, I haven't felt this way about a side since Lovell and Viney were running the division.

Well that was freaking amazeballs.

Game plan and everything. Who knew.

Jonesy taking it to another level this year.

Great Valentines Day gift!

how do people think Strauss went?

Will watch the game again tomorrow (minus the fingernail biting)

Let's be honest it's only mid february so we can't get ahead of ourselves but these wins create confidence and belief. It's also a nice feeling for us supporters. Some good signs!


It was only a practice match !.

It means squat !

Melbourne is still a waste of space !

:mad:

Yeh thats right all you Richmond supporters keep telling yourself that

I really really feel for you '

Not :lol:

OH what a feeling "J K Harris "!!! :cool:

Can't take it too much more of a level when you are already A grade.

If he was in any other team in the AFL he would be hailed a hero long ago but as he belongs to us he never receives the respect he deserves from everyone but our fans, when often it's harder to play for our midfield than any other as he was our only midfield. Until now

ANyone know who you call if you've had an erection for longer than 3 hours?

I'd watch a game from last year, if I was you. That'll get rid of it.


how do people think Strauss went?

Got a little taste of his brilliant kicking skills with a couple of clangers in there as well. Still weak one on one.

Good start for him

Its a great start. Roos and the recruits were great and the existing list looked like they grew another leg!!

Honestly just so pleased for the boys. How it pans out from here who knows but I'm really proud of them all.

how do people think Strauss went?

Will watch the game again tommorrow (minus the fingernail biting)

Thought Strauss was behind his man all night and doesn't have the closing speed to make it up. I like Strauss but thought he was a bit of a weak link tonight.

But that's just me others may have a different view.

a wins a win, no matter what competition it is, it breeds a winning culture, great to see a game plan and structure. vince and cross will make Jones a superstar, take a lot of heat. great to see, long may it last

Go Dees

Too much aROOSal...

Richmond's midfield is also still miles and miles better than ours.

True Chook, but Melbourne's midfield tonight was miles and miles better than last year. And it will only get better

 

Well done Melbourne...the newest FOOTBALL team in the comp it seems

It was mentioned earlier in the week in the media and it bears repeating here. ....all said and done Roos does NOT like to lose.This will be indlibly stamped on his Demons.

Its Nab, its pres season...its....... its a bloody win and I'll take it.

  • 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.

    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.
