Post Match Discussion - Round 12 (never in doubt)

Could someone let me know how Watts was today?

He was good - backed up last weeks effort.

He now seems to go into contests hard and is backing his pace and foot skills (think he has finally turned a corner)

Next step is to be able to float forward and kick goals caus we cant rely on hogan and Garrlett all the time.

There was that one moment where he marked 10m in front and went to play on - almost stuffed it up - should know better then that. (you dont see hawthorn and sydney stuff those up)

Was out all morning (I'm OS), no wifi, no news. Couldn't believe the result. Fabulous.

Don't have the time to hack my way through xx pages of the Gameday thread, but wondering, did anyone promise to leave Demonland if we won?

Just checking.

Yes I believe someone did......

Excellent. Physical and with usual vision. Chased, tackled, competed. He gets it now. Last 3 games he's a different player.

We actually have a midfield now and some depth in reserve.

Gawn and Spencer feeding them made a huge difference.

It is hard to believe Brayshaw is a first year player - Voss like in his attack on the ball.


Very good game. Continued on from last week. Much more engaged in the play.

I thought he was very good, went hard, tackled, chased, did all the things you demands from your players.

Used the ball well.

May be unpopular but i don't know if we would have won that if jesse played, we bomb to him way to often, his absence made us lower our eyes

WYL, your earlier rant must have spurred them on.

Lets hope so mate!!

Something sure happened....

Decent game. 19 disposals and a few important score involvements. If he can bring that every week there can be no complaints.


Midfield of Gawn, Vince, Jones, Viney, Brayshaw looks capable of winning a lot of footy against most opposition. We have a contested game that we can build a plan around.

On the contrary , knowing we had either Gawn or Spencer ( or Dawes ) competing , we DID bomb it in , and often

DUNN bog

Can't believe this.

5 goals last week not good enough?

Anyone else got a list of Geelong supporters to talk to at work tomorrow?

I'm taking tomorrow off the way this Pale Ale's going down.

Cheers everyone.

It IS hard to believe. A very very rare talent. He is a one touch handler with no preferred foot. I particularly love that he lopes like he's stuffed, then BANG!, he's gone and the ball's suddenly in the forward line in a teammates hands. As pure a footballer as I think I've ever seen.

Nothing to do with jesse as a player, our entries were quality today, that cant change when he comes back

RN - you were so right about Gawn. Apologies, mate.

Not really JB i was just referencing last year's marking efforts and thought 2 games wasn't enough to judge him on that was all. Wasn't expecting such a turnaround this week!

You got your wish though! And then some i think ....

Idgaf who gets picked - I don't want another meek effort against these pricks.

I want them hurt.

Dont forget Vanders! and tyson if he returns to form

Id like to know what happened 3 or 4 weeks ago. Something seems to have clicked, at last.

Agree that the bombs are possibly a little overdone overall SPR but i did see the Jones boy lower his eyes and hit him up on at least 2 occasions last week. Pretty sure the Hulk goaled from both of those lace outs.

 

I was very pleased with Dunn's game. Best game for over a year. Stuck to Hawkins like a leech. This was back to his AA form at last. A big thumbs up to Gawn and the midfield for three weeks of continuous improvement.

The great tackle i50 on Varcoe against the Pies on QB and the resulting goal HH.

Monkey off the back from then (reversing the gang tackle in opening game against same team 7 years earlier and questionmark over physicality)

  • 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.
