I fear that by the time we win a flag it will be in a competition that makes us cringe.

I used to love watching big games even when we weren't playing. Just to watch a tough "put the whistle away" armwrestle between two even teams.

They don't happen much anymore.

Yep. country / lower league footy matches now have more atmosphere and toughness about them. 

I wish bad umpiring was held to account like bad players form.

They never get dropped

I'm already cringing Brownie.  I am still hoping that at some point the number of interchange will be paired back to about 40 and the umps call every dodgy throw and intentionally dropped ball under a tackle for incorrect disposal.

The umps deserved some credit on the opening night paying a hec more throws against as well as 50s for encroaching within the exclusion zone.  It will break up the rediculous manic pace and sleight of hand movement of the ball where a significant percentage of disposals are simply not legal but which allows players/teams to move the ball super slickly under pressure and in congestion.  I'm sure many have improved their methods and are able to legally handball more quickly than in the past but a high percentage just aren't legal.

By cracking down on this illegal ball movement and the number of interchange we just might see the game start to open up a little more and see a few more one on one contests around the ground.  Player fatigue should be part of the game as it was for decades previously before we destroyed it with 100 plus interchanges that has resulted in manic ball movement from one end to the other just for the sake of TV ratings (& better broadcast deals?).

    The pies have no game plan and very few players that can kick. 

    They are learning the very hard way that Buckley can’t coach

    The commentary team of Brayshaw/Richo/Darcy isn't too bad.

    Or perhaps that's by way of comparison to BT (big turd), Bwuce, Basil, Hamish?

    Bucks going back to the 90’s with the old kick ins straight to the boundary line. Baffling. Not even attempting coast to coast. 

    Pendles looks really off the pace, Adams and Trelor not doing anything let alone they can’t take a mark in the f50. Making the Hawks look better than they are. 

    100 points? Pies look disinterested... hahhahaHahhaha

    Why don’t teams put a hard tag on Mitchell? They seem happy to let him get his usual 45 odd disposals every game. 

    Keen to see what we do with him in a couple of weeks, Bernie to bash him?

    North v Suns in a monsoon, really good way for the AFL to promote the game and help these 2 sides drive up attendance and members...

    Maynard penalised for blocking McEvoy out of a marking contest??? You now can’t hold your position and guard space to a ball kicked to your left side?

    Geeez Collingwood are very rusty. They’re doing what we used to do and produce such low quality football that the opposition team starts nuffing it up too.

    Good to see Jeremy Howe still loves bombing it to no one off one step from the back line in a panic - only to see it come straight back!

    Treloar 32 possessions at 41% that’s crapola 

    mitchell 54 at 73% 

    you would never bother tagging treloar with those numbers

    Tom Mitchell 54 disposals. Great to see Buckley put a hard tag on him to try and limit his impact.

    • 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.
