They gang tackled him and he got a free for in the back, so he got up off the ground and kicked the footy.  Pendlebury's take on it (in the interview with Jones) was that all it achieved was giving away his first touch.  

Not disputing that they went after him.  Just disputing any assertion that it did them any good.

If anyone's to blame it was the Melbourne player who gave him the hospital handball.

I'd hoped Goodwin was foxing, but Spencer played the full match in the VFL yesterday. I think the dream of having a ruckman for this match is officially over.

Yeah I watched him in the game yesterday. Didn't do as well as I hoped. Weeds and Wagner did alright. Kent was disappointing

I thought Wagner was outstanding - a class well above VFL IMHO.

I like him as a player. Clever. Reads the play really well. Hes kicking hasnt been as good this year for some reason but he is a good kick. Love that he is a lefty


I read some have different views.

My view is that this is the most important games for us since 2006 semi final. If we win we turn at 6 and 5 in 6th place. With Gawn, Hogan (our two most important players) shortly back we set ourselves up not just for finals but a tilt at a top 4 finish.

Shall we lose, we again fail when favourites, this time coming off a 16 day break. Our opponents have played twice since we beat Gold Coast and have lost 3 of their best players in last weekends stirling victory over Carlton. This will be hard for them to cover.  We will be 5 and 6 in 11th place, with mental issues that will be difficult to overcome this season. It will be highly unlikely we make finals. 

Confidence is everything in this game. As its been said it is indeed 90% between the ears.

This is a game we must win!

Predicting a 44 disposal, 11 clearance, 12 tackle, 2 goal masterclass from Clayton Oliver tomorrow in a 47 point Demon win.

We'll be sitting equal 5th if we win tomorrow, one game out of the top 4. What an opportunity.

I think the advantage this year like last is finishing in the bottom half of the 8.

Top 4 to me is a disadvantage.

They will close this loophole at the end of this season.

With the weeks break leading up to finals top 4 teams lose momentum when they can least afford it.

I'm not confident at all. 

Gawn was huge the last 3 times against them. No Gawn plus Grundy's big step up in improvement will hurt. 

And Bernie has killed them both ways. He's not the player he was, and hasn't been playing that role, can't see him being that damaging again. 

Both teams have played some god awful footy at times this year, if it comes down best footy v best footy we win, but I haven't seen us do it enough to have any faith in it showing up tomorrow. 

 

(If this post doesn't get us the win, nothing will)

Whatever the outcome, I hope 'Lizzie' is up early to watch it.

True, but equally a number of the younger players that are influential this year had little impact. Oliver was quiet both times against them. Hunt debuted first time around and had little impact both games. Salem didn't play QB.

Tracc only played QB, but did have a good game.

These are the sort of games he's made for, he's that sort of a player that can go up a gear in front of the big crowds. 

Hope we see him pull out his strut after his 5th goal!

I'll let him pull out his strut after his 3rd at the 21 minute mark of the first quarter puts us 6 goals up!

  • 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.

    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.
