Melbourne Vs West Coast Round 2

I will be there. Please dont let this be a 100 pt loss.

Mrs 'oldfart and I will be driving down from Canberra for the game. Please let it be a win!

Though only the overly optimistic will predict a win for us I expect us to slug it out and give WC a tough game but they seem to have most of the positives. There has been a refreshing change in attitude from our boys and I expect it to continue. If so, improvement will continue slowly and steadily until we can field a best 22

I have finally finished watching the Saints game (sorry - thread locked so can't post there)......what an amazing improvement over 2012-13. Unrecognisable. A team with a game plan and confidence to retain possession and be patient.

Unfortunately the perfect storm is what beat us - preferred 3 forwards missing and the 4th preferred out early PLUS the effective loss of the one player in the AFL who can run with and hold Reiwoldt

Dunn & Watts in particular are just totally different players this year.

I have little doubt that had we had one of Clark, Dawes or Hogan, preferably >2, or Fitz playing the full game and TMcD being uninjured we would be far more positive, at 1-0


the storm hasnt gone away unfortunately...in fact the cyclone warning has been uprated further

I just want to see us compete for four quarters.

Then may I suggest watching pre 1965 videos of the MFC games

Or maybe if a few of our players [such as Vince] had of kicked straight!

Anyone else having trouble with the footy tipping app?

It takes forever to open if it does then doesn't go to round 2 seems to be stuck on rd 1


Dave Misson on the injury update with Matt Burgan said Hogan at least 2-3 away

Hogan hasn't played a game.... I'd be uncomfortable if he came in as the stand alone main man.... We need to ease him in, with the support of Dawes and Fitzpatrick (Clark)... It could real damage his confidence, if he comes in and get smashed by a number 1 defender... Hopefully Dawes is playing when Hogan comes in...

Got a sneaky feeling Vince will burst out of the middle and kick a goal right out of the gate.

This game is making me vomit, have we even improved?

Agreed. Ins Viney, MacK, Gawn, Hogan and Jamar and Dawes ////. Fiz, Spens and Pedo all out.

anyone else see the irony in Byrnes leading our goal kicking....lol

More pathos than irony

  • 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.
