Thought the same thing. Wonder how Howe feels? In the doghouse with his coach and his teammates serve up this rubbish for round one.

Hope he feels useless, mercenary,stupid and like quitting.

 

North Melbourne, who played in preliminary finals last year and are supposedly in "contention" this year could only manage just over 25,000 to their game against Adelaide.

We had over 28,000 against GWS!

If anyone beats Jacob Weitering in this year's NAB Rising Star then he will be an amazing footballer.

After yesterday's game, I reckon Oliver will pick up a nomination before the season is out.

Good to see Tom Papley play well for sydney last night.

Tom played a couple of games for Casey Scorpions last year as a too up 23rd player and reports were that he didn't look out of place.

Franklin 4.1, Tippett 0.1. Easy to see which one they got their $1M value for.

Interesting (after today's match) to see the two Collingwood players with the greatest disposals were both traded from GWS!

CBDees do you know when Sydney's COLA is finally phased out? 

Tippet is overhyped and overpaid and has yet to gel with Buddy. If Sydney had their time again they would of shipped of Tippet and kept the Mummy.

There was a little bit of sarcasm there hardtack, but yes, they do look scary good.  Their running game and pressure has been superb so far, Dockers can't cope.

I thought that was the case :-). Not a bad effort to keep the Dockers goalless for the first quarter, and they look like they're not taking the foot off the pedal in the second.


Stringer is a gun but FMD he's selfish and arrogant; burns his teammates all day long. It's no wonder how he regularly scores 4 or 5 goals.

Got a lot of Stevie J about him... hopefully not the Premiership Player part though.

And that would have included a lot of Norf flogs who have 3 or 4 memberships (from when they were meant to go to the Gold Coast) scanning the lot as they go through the gate.

Bulldogs bandwagon seems to have gathered a lot more going by today's crowd.

I'm no stranger to going early. So....only four teams can win it.

hawks 

eagles

port 

doggies

Freo or should I say Ross Lyon has a wealth of talent at his disposal yet fails to understand that the game evolves. 

Roos 

Swans

Crows

Geelong 

will all be there about 

I was wrong about Collingwood.

Not sure Jeremy Cameron is feeling so smug now.

Tigers are a mess.

Did not see them outclassing Freo like this. Thought Freo would win for sure.

That was an a amazing half of footy by the dogs. Immense pressure.

Freo woeful. Have missed so many easy targets.


Lots to learn from Round 1 so far. Sadly, Sydney's gifted Academy youth will produce one of the game's best midfields within a few seasons. Dogs look like the new Hawks. Not convinced by the Cats but we'll have to see how that plays out tomorrow.

Richmond, Fremantle and Collingwood appear to be going nowhere. Not convinced by Richmond's win, especially.

Freo are slow though, and when their defensive game doesn't work it highlights how poor their forward line is.  You can understand why they've chased every quality tall forward under the sun for the last 5-6 years as the quality down there is minimal.

Also, 18 ranking points for Boyd at half time. Guess that missed sitter from 30 metres out took a few points off. :cool:

True. Fair point.

And Ross Lyon doesn't have the patience to rebuild through the draft. They're just treading water under him, albeit very close to the shoreline.

Yep, good point.  They are missing a couple of players today but the Dogs are making them look distinctly average.

It is Round 1 after all though, plenty of water left to go under the bridge.

Pavlich looks finished, their forward line is poorly structured, and the lack of depth without Sandilands would be cause for concern (considering his age).

The Dogs can only play this style at Etihad. Can still be beaten elsewhere 

Freo may have peaked. This will test Lyon all the way. 

Would love to beat them this year over there.

They've never drawn big crowds even in their dominant period in the mid to late 90s 

When we're on again and contending in finals we will pull big crowds regularly

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
