greatest game of  the year so far. glad swannies got the chocolates. gives us better chance of getting in the 8 which is so tight at the moment 

Beating Carlscum by 109 pts is the game of the year.

I'm less concerned about top 4 now. We had that chance and blew it. Far more concerned about finals itself, which that loss goes some way to helping. 

Besides, it's just so, so good to see Norf lose. Scott is a massive [censored].

 Agreed.

At any rate, Collingwood, Port and Sydney all have tough runs home (Port's gets even tougher if they somehow can't beat Fremantle today):

  1. Collingwood - North, Richmond, Sydney (away), Brisbane, Port, Fremantle (away)
  2. Port - GWS, Dogs (Ballarat), Adelaide, West Coast, Collingwood (away), Essendon
  3. Sydney - GC, Essendon (away), Collingwood, us (away), GWS (away), Hawthorn

Of course, our run home is just as hard, but our destiny remains in our hands. And you never know, with those three sides having runs home like that, if we can outperform what we all think we're going to achieve (i.e. we get past 13 wins), we could go up on the ladder (I doubt it, personally).


Sheesh, Robbie Gray out cold. That’s nasty.

 

Port beat us right ?? ???


I assume there will be some inevitable posts re: 'how did we lose to port' - similarly those who thought the first half against the dogs were awful. 

To me - this game/ the cats loss, richmonds loss, hawthorn etc -  shows how close the competition is, and how mere percentages 'off your game' or at times 'luck' means you win, or get smashed... 

It's elite sport, it's tough and the margins are always small... 

AND - I really like what Roos, Goodwin and PJ et al, are building towards...and it may not be 2018...

ahhh, can't please some  :)

week to week - small things change for the individuals, the coaches, the systems and it becomes cumulative. how else can we account for such massive discrepancies in form lines between what are seemingly teams who are so far apart... bris/hawth, melbs/saints etc etc

Must be both Freo and us playing in Darwin last weekend!  ?

We both seem to have defied the script by bouncing back instead of losing due to fatigue and insufficient recovery time!

Roos Swans ...great Footy

Slockers Port...train wreck

Hope shockers win. Port are pretenders who could only beat us coz of umpires.

I 'm loving round 17!  Bring it home Freo (never thought I'd be saying that, even after a few reds).


freeeeeeoh givin em the ol' heave-ho - way to go

 

 

Wow dockers, what a weekend. Watts’ one handed tackles still exist. Softest front runner of the last 10 years

    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.
