Round 7 Non MFC games

Hurts me to say it, but BT is barking up the right tree ATM.

I have watched old footage of the game (who hasn’t) and it has always struck me how quickly the umps would blow the whistle for a ball up, charge in and get the game going straight away.

The ridiculous amount of time it takes to get the ball back into play after a stoppage creates a lot of the congestion that we now have. Why wait for ruckman? Just get the ball going FFS

Be careful what you wish for as it could remove one of the strongest aspects of our team.  We might lose Gawn, Jones, Oliver, Viney and co around the ball ups.

Nah, I want it.

So who’s even playing tonight?


How the hell did crameri get a game? I know he kicked a goal but he’s done nothing else and Keilty kept him too 1 goal in raging Geelong VFL game last week

Would suit us too with a fit Max beating most rucks to the ball up.

I think it’d spawn a lot of Blicavs cloned.  Tallish athletes with a big tank.

Nah...if they get the game going quickly there will be less congestion and less ball ups around the ground.

It never hurt the likes of Mick Nolan in the old days.

I like anyone that gets into Dill, he deserves all he gets but the Herald Sun has really been positioning itself up with the best of the British Tabloid press as of recent times (and maybe not so recent).

Giants too many good players out. Boring game.

Think the ball moved around the ground a lot slower back then.  

It’s also worth noting that every ball up that BT complained about the congestion, there was not a single secondary ball up; it cleared the congestion into space every time.

Giants falling into the same “bomb it into the forward line trap” against the cats.  Nice to know we’re not the only stupid ones.


Remember when ever 3rd free kick was chopping the arms? I’m shocked when they call it now.

Crameri has played ok. 

This result means nothing tonight.  GWS are missing a raft of good players and they're playing the Cats on their home deck.

Not only that but we'll have a weekend of 'how good are the kids at the Cattery' when blokes like Jack Henry are able to run around in the backline without any responsibility.  At one stage their tallest player was Coniglio.

God I hate Geelong.


Shaw crapped himself, for a bloke who loves to mouth off I hope the rest of his career he is reminded of that.

AFL wants play that flows quick…makes players all-but sign a contract to play ruckman at a stoppage.

BT's all over it.

I hate to have to admit it but I actually agree with the idiot BT ....  what was wrong with just throwing the bloody thing up immediately, and IF a "third man up" joins in the sure, penalise him.

Back to the game ....  are Geelong that good or are GW$$$ bad, or a bit of both?

OMG that mark by Hawkins 2 minutes to go in 3rd quarter just incredible ....  but surely he has to go, especially given his record, for that back of head late punch, than deliberately manhandling (softly) the maggot.

And where was Ratugolea in the draft? What a strong young man .... could be anything.

What a steaming pile of absolute bullcrap. Examining the lint filter is more exciting than this tiddwiddle 

Is that a sideline of naval gazing??  Do you have a filter there?

Wow what a shizen game on a Friday night. Hope we get the Giants when they’re playing like this - they are woeful. And Geelong aren’t actually playing all that well themselves.

Makes the saints draw against gws look like not much

  • 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.
