Once again we will be playing next week against a team that is heavily under the pump....a 'line in the sand' game for them.

About time we learned to kick them when they are down, like we have been on the receiving end for so bloody long.

Go Dees.   Just do it ✔️

 

Eagles lack a game breaker in their midfield, someone with X factor. Yes they get the job done but are still a way off the Hawks.

Their drafting has been horrible. Taylor Hunt, Andrew Moore, Ben Lennon, Corey Ellis, Shaun Grigg, Shaun Hampson and the list goes on..

Ellis, Lennon and Grigg can play. The Grigg trade was a masterstroke, and one of the rare wins for the Tigers, they offloaded Collins for him - who isn't even in the system anymore. He was useless. Grigg can play. Lennon has had limited opportunities, I think he'll be a player. Corey Ellis is going to need time to develop, he is actually their best bet of finding a quality inside mid. He is an inside mid, he just hasn't developed enough physically to play that role.

What are the chances we turn both collingwood's and Richmond's seasons around? ??

Geez mate you are a little ray of sunshine. Elsewhere you say a Hogan is gone now this gem. Anything else to cheer us up??

Just a bit of honesty/reality for the day dreamers. I love where we are heading but we are still very crappy.

Richmond falling off is the least surprising thing ever

They have been playing above their capability the last few years and yet still haven't won a final since 2001

I can't remember a time we've played 2 horribly out of form sides in consecutive weeks.

Going to be an interesting fortnight.

And any team beaten by Melbourne will automatically be 'in crisis'......


The umpires were about as bad as they get. When will the AFL do something about the unbelievable hometown advantage the Western Australian teams get?

It's blindingly obvious yet no-one in the media is prepared to put their job on the line by commenting about it.

I actually thought the WA bias improved last year, but the little I watched last night suggested otherwise.

Who can ever forget the classic 20-1 half time free kick count we copped at Subi a few years back.

Listening to the Saturday Rub, JB just produced the stat that the Eagles recieved about 100 more free kicks than their opposition over the course of 11 home games last year.

Having said that Richmond don't go to bad either when they are in Melbourne.

You'd have thought after last year's Carlton debacle that the AFL/Channel 7 would have learned their lesson on fixturing.

Have a look at Richmond's fixture:

Round 1 - Thursday night
Round 2 - Friday night
Round 4 - Friday night
Round 5 - Sunday night (prime time)
Round 7 - Friday night
Rounds 8-10 - Saturday night (all on Channel 7)
Round 11 - Friday night
Round 15 - Friday night
Round 16 - Saturday night (Channel 7)
Round 20 - Friday night

16 of their 21 currently-scheduled games are televised on Channel 7.

Who the f**k thought it was a good idea to show Richmond in prime time in 8 of the first 10 weeks of the year?

It's early going, but the Cats look a little flat early.  They'll still more than likely give the Bombers a hiding but they haven't turned up to play yet.

Essendon getting every 50 50 umpire call. Yuk. 

They've had 2 free kicks for the game.  You might be going over the top just a touch...

Wow...that is really skewed. I know that they probably have data saying that historicalky they rate decently viewers-wise, but you'd think that they would hedge their bets with any team and at least have a mixture of high-mbership teams playing prime-time games. About the only thing that would be worse ratinhs-wise this year would be a heap of Essendon and/or GWS games on Friday and Saturday nights

They'd be in crisis regardless. If we beat the Pies, a finals-bound team is 1-3. If we beat the Tigers, they're 1-4, with both teams' wins being very unconvincing. Irrespective of who played them, they'd be in crisis. But Melbourne, losing to Melbourne would just compound it.

Look at the bright side of those Friday night games,watching the Tiges lose is a good way to kick off the weekend

bombers-cats is very reminiscent of our game v them - scrappy, low quality and dour football.

That will be the Bombers go all year - drag teams down to their level so they have a chance.  It's an awful game of footy to watch but that's what the Bombers want.

  • 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.
