Swans comfortably dealing with Carlton at the MCG.

Err no its at colonial stadium now known as marvel.

 

Dusty in trouble for an elbow, and giving mummy the finger and a snorting sign lol, watch the AFL Ignore this 1 can’t have there favourite sitting on the sidelines 

Never heard of Finlayson (GWS) but gee he is impressive today...we could certainly use someone like him


Don't watch the Short injury if you can help it... that can't be unseen

Collingwood are going to be very hard to beat if they can maintain this intensity throughout the year.  Their run, spread, effort and physicality is first rate.

I used to think Buckley was hopeless but I actually think he’s s good coach - they play for each other and seem to have a really good team spirit going

Jealous

Buckley's matured now, into a very good coach.   He always had the vision of player types he wanted.

So he didn't compromise on skill.

The game has been changed toward his direction.

Who gave the go ahead to let Howe walk?

What'd we get in return?


Really enjoying watching Brisbane this year, entertaining game between them and Port so far. 

Aside from Mathieson continually dropping the knees for high frees...

If a player walks, they walk... there's not a whole lot we can do about it.

He wanted to leave.

Why?

We let good talent leave.

These umpires are killing the game seriously. 50 metre penalties are BS

WTF is going on Gill??

I think its just that there are so many rules now, the modern game is simply over umpired.

What happened 5 minutes ago at the ‘G was an absolute disgrace. 

His legs could have been so easily broken

He didn't want to be at the MFC anymore.

My understanding was:

- We offered Howe a contract, which he declined

- We then arranged a trade with Gold Coast (Pick 7 I believe) and some very big money for Howe.

- Howe agreed to Gold Coast trade (in principle).

- Collingwood then came in and offered him less money than Melbourne and Gold Coast, with a wing-half forward role out to him by Buckley whilst in holidays in Bali - Howe accepted that.

Howe had wanted out of the club for a long time, but was held by his contract.  He honoured the contract but nothing would have kept him here.

Irrelevant. I am working in a similarly dysfunctional team environment atm. You work to keep your talent. Unless they want to go home to family, you work to keep them involved. You empower them. We let him walk "because he wanted to leave". Why did he want to leave?

How useful would Dunn and Howe be right now? What was the logic there? 

The Roos legacy.

Is there a club that hasn't had great talent leave?

Hawks, Swans, Cats, Collingwood, Richmond... successful, powerful, well-run clubs have all had great players walk.

It's a fact of life.

If anything, Collingwood and Buckley are an example for us to follow.

Buckley was, to the media/public, a dead man walking. Couldn't coach, wasn't getting the best out of his players, was wasting talent.

Collingwood had massive talent on paper but had a slow, dated game plan.

Then they turned it around.

This is genuine carp, praha.

Absolute, unrealistic, carp.

Every club has players who leave for one reason or another.


3 preseason premiership fancies on 2 wins between them after 3 rounds.

Richmond, Adelaide, Collingwood, Essendon and Melbourne were in most people's top 8, and many people's top 4.

Four wins between them. 

Very happy for the lions.

They’ve had a horrid run and are now playing a great brand of footy with some very exciting players.

Clear example of how getting the right people in the football department trumps draft picks.

 

That McInerney goes alright. Has bobbed up when needed the last two weeks with some strong marking and goals.

Edited by Dee Zephyr

Wow lions 3 and 0 us 0 and 3. 

Who the hell would have thought that at the start of season.  Sure as hell wasnt  me. 

I bloody hope we can turn our season around sooner rather than later, otherwise it’s another wasted season which we have had more than our fair share.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
