Crows just starting to choke a little versus the AFL Rep team

Eddie Betts just kicked one of the best goals i have ever watched

such skill. Wow

It was SWYL but I'm going to be a killjoy. I reckon he clearly took that ball out not just by a little way but a good half metre.

Killjoy.

 

Geelong have started terribly against Carlton. Absolutely butchering the footy.

Cripps is comfortably one of my favourite non Dees, such a gun.


Geelong aren't switched on at all here.  Playing horrible footy at the moment, Carlton well and truly dragging them down to their level.

The way Carlton are playing they would have slaughtered us by desire, work ethic and team work if we played them this week.

Suddenly you can't read too much into Collingwood's surprise win over Geelong last week. Or... Carlton are just better than anyone expected? They win today (still unlikely with 2 players down with injury) and we're equal wins on the ladder. Frightening.

Carlton 10 tackle in forward half till half time. We had 4 for the entire game to Ports 12.  Tell me, what does that have to do with youth and consistency? 


Brendan Bolten has done a fantastic job so far with Carlton, i still think their list is average but i think they're definitely on the right track.

It tells me that, because of our youth, we can't do it consistently.  Just because Carlton are doing it today doesn't mean they've done it every week either.


wow just tuned on the radio and heard the Carlton geelong score. Then read that murphy has been off since the 1st quarter. Brendan Bolton is doing the right things with that group. Obviously a good teacher. It would be a massive upset.

Oh god its great to see Geelong getting exposed

Just goes to show that less talent, but flat out effort, can beat huge talent that isn't 100% 'on'.

Yesd and I hope Simon Goodwin turns out to be as good as Bolton or better.   Bolton is doing this with a putrid list.

Will be interesting to see if Geelong really are exposed as pretenders. They looked seriously average for huge portions of 2015 and decided to take the top-up route with Danger, Smith and Henderson (ala North Melbourne). A good plan for the short-term but can fall apart pretty quickly. Who is part of the Cats' youth that stands up once the older crew drop off?

I don't really want Carlton to be 5-5 because they'll jump us on the ladder in short order. But Bolton needs to be seriously commended for what he's achieving with that list. He clearly has total buy-in from every player and it shows.

The MFC situation over the past 3-5 years looks highly exposed when you look at what Bolton has done at Carlscum with just one pre season. 

I don't care how old or inexperienced our players are. 

Make them mentally tough or they won't make it. 

If Carlscum shoot back up the ladder ahead of the MFC again and start playing finals i will become rabid. 

Goodwin better be the best young coach in the land. 

 

Love watching players who walk out on struggling clubs lose to them, ala Lachie Henderson if Carlton hold on

So clearly this was the case last year when we beat Geelong at Geelong?

Why are Melbourne supporters so freakin masochistic after a loss? 

Honestly, it's boring.

  • 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.
