Tom Lynch is the best forward in the game right now.

Agreed.  Probably the best contests mark in the league right now, if he gets even a small amount of space he is clunking every mark.

 

The two 'not 15' decisions on are the Herald Sun website. Each kick every bit of 15m.

If you didn't see it. the kicks were in succession (first one a kick in) and cost the Saints a goal.

Drain Russell comments that the second kick was close to 20m.

No doubt.  It was clearly a mark.  Terrible umpiring. 

I reckon Prestia's gone... anyone watching the Q clash?

Not too dissimilar to the ones we weren't paid last weekend either.  Clearly they went 15m.

The umps have obviously been told to be harder on this, but their ability to judge the distance is appalling. 

Lions hit the front. What little of the game I've seen, they deserve to win.

He isn't allowed to have one bad game after missing a year through injury?

We are so quick to jump to outlandish conclusions on this site.

Are you actually watching the game, mate? I'm watching his body language. No, I don't know for certain, but geez, you jump down posters throats at the drop of a hat. 

Prestia also looks unusually sluggish and doesn't seem to be using his voice at the stoppages like he usually does.

I am as a matter of fact.  He's not having a good day, but to suggest it means he is coming home is over the top.

He looks like a guy who is still a little rusty after missing heaps of footy.  I put his 'sluggishness' down to still working his way back to match fitness.

If he had done this for weeks then I would be more inclined to agree.  But cut the bloke some slack.  One poor game does not mean he is running around out there with one eye on Victoria.

No, just disappointed that it still occurs.  

And before you say it - yes, I should know better!

We jump to the most outlandish conclusions in the history of the Internet.

For a bloke who is an absolute ball magnet and clearance machine, he's played all four games this year. His first week against Essendon was good and since then he's been pretty quiet. He's still managed 24 touches twice and then 20 tonight, but the cobwebs were blasted out in the first week. We're now a month into the season and it's the big Q clash. Lots of feeling in the game and he just didn't look interested to me.

Fair enough.

Gee I hope Stringer looks a bit disinterested tonight.  A sure sign he wants out and I hope the Dees are all over it.

Well, he did say he wanted to play alongside Hogan. :P

So, did anyone have Brisbane to win? 

I didn't but tipped a close game. GC have had a very very soft run so far. 

Ess, Freo and Carlton.

It's certainly something that needs to dragged from the court of arbitrariness. Today it cost the Saints a game: though, they brought it on themselves with their shocking turnovers. It reminded me of the way my beloved demons play.

This might just get ugly for Carlton. I hope so.

Why is Patty Cripps hardly being used as an inside mid, he seems to be playing as a high half forward, he's way to good a mid to not be right in the middle.

I'm not sure he has the skills to play as a half forward. He's not quick enough either. Gun inside mid, but you're right, mate. Seems to be spending more time outside of the centre square.

Mark Neeld tried to do the same thing to Jack Trengove and i remember thinking the same thing, if someone shows a heap of promise, keep them in that position, it'd be like us deciding to play Clayton oliver off half back.

  • 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

    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.
