If I were Roos. I would be taking 22 players to one finals game each week, even the Grand Final.

And would be picking a team to "play against" one of the finals teams and would be saying here is your position, this is your opponent, now watch and learn what they do.

I want you to be able to tell me how they beat their opponent, if they did, how they were beaten if they were.

Where they ran to, were they effective?

What would/could you do better in their positions and in their decision makings..

Because in my opinion we have enough talented footballers, but they are just not smart enough!

Thoughts?

    Surely this is a contradiction in terms. Part of being talented ought to be to be able to make the right decisions during a game. It is part of the game itself, to know what do do and when.

    Most of ours is just rabble currently

    [censored] I know it's contingent on a lot of things...but we got one of the best crouching staffs in the comp. Once Roosy leaves I reckon we will be just starting to enter the premiership window :D

    I disagree.. You can have talent. But have no idea how to use it correctly... You can be a great kick and a super mark but not know how and where to run to.. Ie Majak Daw..

    I am struggling with this

    There is enough talent there to build a team around.. A nucleus if you will, we still need another couple of mids and a specialist fwd to stand next to Hogan.. But there is enough talent there to work with..

    If you remember when Daniher arrived, he actually sat down his team and taught them how he wanted to play!

    • 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.
