Did anyone need a refreshing new reason to hate Collingwood?

Good news that Downie is ok.

Great stuff with the comeback, and a really dramatically improved performance in the second half, much cleaner and bolder.

 

 
 

Never in doubt


Nice win. Numbers at the ball and cleaner quicker disposal, quicker across the ground. Clearance work rate slowly improved as the game went on also.

The Pies will be lucky to win a match I reckon.

Apart from one or 2 players they are horribly top heavy and slow across the ground and apart from that first half, with significant umpiring assistance from No.5, they were terribly scrappy/unco and fumbled too often with ball in hand. Similar to last week but this week managed to put a quarter of footy together early, as well as finding Mo one on one a few times.

I've got to say, if the AFL is going to televise and promote the game, ensure the fundamental rules of the game are enforced .i.e illegal disposal and caught in possession.  I'm sure the top women don't appreciate the 'go soft on the rules' approach adopted tonight. Go Dees

It was just umpire number 5, worst I've ever seen.

One thing the women do need to improve is bending down to pick up the ball, far too often they just didn't get low enough or go hard enough to collect a loose ball.

CB, it had to go beyond one umpire. There were just too many non - decisions. A win's a win but...

Great effort by the women. Loved  Odea, Paxman, Duryea, Cat Phillips and number 24 looked really composed. Daisy turns the ball over more than I expected.


Said on TV Meg woke up in change room

Any additional news on Meg. Personal friend of my son who was at the game. 

 

Would appreciate ate any news. 

They mentioned that she was awake and talking, but that's all I've heard.

O'Dea was really important using her size and power in the contests. Collingwood were dominant inside, but we really got on top in the game when she started bullying the midfield.

There are some good young players who look like they can play, but need games. Berry is one of them who does some great things, but not often. She could be a dominant player with her power and skills, but isn't involved enough yet.

We broke them open with our pace and dare in the second half. That will be good as the years go on.

Got my tickets for the double header next week already

Umpire number 5 should be investigated

I undertook that investigation. It was actually Nathan Buckley in disguise but that #5 was a dead give away. 

Asked him why ? Said he had no understanding of the rules ( something we don't know ! )  , just wanted to garner some first hand tips for the lads .

As he turned and left he tapped his nose in that knowing way ;)

Got QB in the bag :P

Thanks. I've passed that on. Just wondering if anyone has more news.

The coach just said she has been cleared of serious damage, just a heavy concussion, taken to hospital but it's only precautionary.

Quite appropriate our 1st win ..... Against the Filth.....

We own them now

Boys and Girls can do no wrong.

Pass the kleenex to Eddie :pj:

Was great to see Eddie's smug look at half time wiped off his face.

There's no doubt in my mind that the Collingwood team we saw tonight is crying out for a coaching succession plan

Would love to know what was said at half time (actually said, not just what they told the media). Completely shifted the mindset and approach.

Best comeback so far in the league- sets a good standard for us in the future. Go Dees!

 

The lighting there tonight was worse than the Casey night games!

Was great to be there to see their first official win, and sing the song with a bit of gusto.

The ball movement was quicker in the second half, we took more overhead marks than them and Phillips kicked a couple of great goals.  

O'dea and Paxman the best for mine

Always great to beat collingwood!

  • 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.

    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.
