It's also possible that St Kilda are slightly ahead, but on the same trajectory as us: because they actually stepped up a gear when a top 8 team hit their best form in the third and fourth quarter, but held and on found a way to win in a very mature fashion. I'd like to see us do that as well as beating the Saints, before declaring us the same.

I still think the Saints are behind us, simply because they rely more on their older players to win, Roo, Joey and Steven carry their team and i'm not sure their youngsters are anywhere near as good as ours. 

I think when Joey and roo retire we'll see the Saints slide back a little bit and the lack of top end talent exposed.

 

I have been stuck in airports, planes and taxis today

i just saw the Whorethorn jumper

WTF is that in aid of?

Rocky Road Icecream?

Must this putrid club be on top of the ladder for eternity?

That jumper is worse than their normal sewage design

who allows this garbage!!

The pink jumper was in support of Cancer Council Tasmania...more personal to them this year because of Roughy.

Really no different to when we wear pink on our jumper which looks only marginally better.

Its the cause that counts!

Still an obnoxious design. But then it is Whorethorn...

Riewoldt and Montagna fair enough, but Steven is still young, so can't really include him.

While i see the point you're making, I don't include him in the next crop of emerging Saints ( Billings, McCartin and co ) which i feel lacks depth of talent, they have a couple of good looking players but our depth of quality in terms of our very young group is far superior and that's why i believe we're not only ahead now, but i think we'll be light years ahead in 3 years time.

The Hawks jumper screamed of a marketing meeting where everyone was too scared about being perceived as insensitive towards cancer, instead of being the one that pointed out that it looked like they were promoting National Turkish Delight week.

Or Seb Ross. Played a very smart game. Most pressure Dangerfield has had this year.

Played a good game against us too.

Just like we did in the last quarter against GWS when Hogan kicked 3 after a pretty ordinary day and Watts flicked the switch. 

Nah, but it was just cos GWS didn't kick straight.

Why?

Exactly. A large number of Whorethorn's 2008 GF side is still running the show. Until they retire the equalization strategy means stuff all

Well if teams would bother to put a hard tag on Mitchell and play a defensive forward on Hodge, we may see different outcomes.

Why?

Because any team who wins 4 premierships in a row is clearly not a member of an equalised competition.

You should coach.

Simple,true,and has taken everyone 5 years to work out where their drive comes from.

Smash Mitchell,Hodge and Cyril to a pulp.You win.

We had a chance to be a contender by now, but Barry Prendergast had other ideas.

The only thing wrong with the current system is the academies which fly in the face of equalisation, yet Hawthorn get no advantage out of it.

    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.
