So annoyed that the crows get a 10 day break before playing us. It'll nullify any of our freshness.They have basically received 2 byes.

    Scotty Thompson (yes I know he left and we got Mahoney etc etc) but there is a good example of a solid B+ player who plays a decent game week in week out and has the occasional blinder

    Oh to have a few like him at the Dees

     

    PS He may be slowing down now but it is his 16th season !!!

    As expected, North are pretenders. And who is shocked, really? I've been saying it all along.

    I did a ladder predictor today and we took North's spot in the 8.

    Admittedly we won 7 games after the bye but I'd love to make it at North's expense.

    Brad does not endear himself that's for sure. Nor does his brother but I think Brad shades him at the post . Two undearing twins.

    And their supporters have already become insufferable.  A shocking mob. Their hate of Vicorian clubs knows no limits although their hate of Port Adelaide has no end.

    That's interesting - I did one and West Coast in 8th were three games clear of Port in 9th...

    That would be supremely boring.

    Not unlikely though, West Coast are already two games clear now as it is - and with Essendon up next, so that's not going to change soon.  The top 8 is all but settled already.

    If you're in to ladder watching, our job from now is at best to nab 9th from Port, and at worst, defend 10th from Carlton and St Kilda (who play GWS and Geelong respectively this week).  I think it's highly likely that we'll remain 10th and not move at all for the remainder of the season.

    Don't forget Dean Kent, you can't look sideways at a red and blue jumper without him giving you a bit of what for.

     

    Deffinatley a bit of that 'arrogant' Hawthorn streak in what we are building, the playing group drew a line in the sand somewhere and won't be pushed around anymore

     

    We started this game and over the next few years I hope we remind people why. 

     

    GWS are a worry though...

    GWS could easily finish 4th this year and challenge next year. Yhey are 2-3 years ahead of us in development

    40 shots on goal from 59 inside 50's!  that has to be a record conversion rate.  they should have won by 10 goals +

    north will keep sliding - they are weak and once they drop in a year or two they'll be there a while  :-)

    North have a lot of injuries to be fair.....Waite, Higgins, Wells to name but a few.    Thought they should have won against Hawthorn last week except for their bad kicking for goal.   They are not the basket case some are painting them to be.

    Dont think anyone reckons they are a basket-case right now or this season BD, just that they arent  a contender

    And considering how old their list is and lack of young talent,   they will be stuffed for a long long time post 2016

    Holy smokes. I went to bed at 3 quarter time, and I knew Adelaide were on top in general play, but 40 scoring shots to 17? What a drubbing.

  • Quote

    Adelaide move the ball really well and are enjoyable to watch really.  Going to be very tough to beat.

     

    Love watching North lose :)

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
