we're coming along in leaps and bounds....golly it's exciting, these times.......

How about we ask the AFL to schedule more home games at Marvel, the SCG and the GABBA!   Might produce a better result on the W/L ledger BZ.  The only downside is i probably wouldn't see many of the interstate wins!

    I could handle it RN. Winning in Brisbane/ Sydney/ Perth is way way way better than losing at the G. Play the GF at the SCG if that is what it takes to win a GF. In fact transfer to Tassie if that will win us a flag. Anything will be better than the last 55 years.

    As I've said for the last few years, with our list and game style we will be much better off and improve our chances of making finals more regularly playing out of Marvel.

    P.S. our success at Marvel isn't coincidental IMO.  Pre Roos era we were rubbish there.  His view/impressions/experience prior coaching experience at the Swans on a ground similar in dimensions.  Game style and list built around winning on that ground.  Brings similar to the MFC.  We start winning more often at Marvel as a result of similar framework, rebuild and 'type' of player recruiting/training and methods.  The GABBA probably most similar in size as well.  100% win record albeit small sample.  Is that just before the bye or all matches since Goody took over ABG?

    Goody inherited a style / list that isn't designed to go all that well on the much larger territory of the G, more success on SCG sized grounds.  And that's how it's panning out.

    Stadium Dimensions:

    SCG:  155 x 136m

    Marvel:  159.5 x 128.8m

    MCG:  173.6 x 148.4m

    Optus: 165m x 130m

    Adelaide Oval:  167 x 123m

    GABBA:  156 x 138m

    Metricon:  161 x 134m

    Giants Stadium:  164 x 127.5m

    GMHBA:  170 x 115m

    We beat Geelong in a  final at the MCG because they are an insecure  team away from home in big  games and Hawthorn as well in a final because we played a tough brand of football. We were on a role before the finals. We didn't look slow then.                                         It is definitely a confidence problem and injuries play a big role .

    No doubting this Soup.  Possibly fitness and conditioning too.  Effects ability to execute anything well for long enough to stay in a match.  That inability to execute effects confidence.  From there doubts creep in in self and trust in team mates.  Nose dive from there.  Can be done but difficult to pull out of.

    A transfer to Tassie sounds drastic OD, would that make us the Tassie Devils!??

    Probably but we are destined to  fade from view unless we get a home soon and I need a good run of winning seasons, another  decade of this crap  is a bridge too far for me.

    Waverley Park OD.  It's old and probably  in need of a big refurb but beggars can't be choosers.   Hawks grabbed a bit of silver using that as their base so it can't be too bad surely.

    Doesn't have to be forever either.  Some say we dont need a proper home to perform/win flags etc but i don't buy it.  Having a home would bring a spirit and connection to the club by all involved and might be the key final piece in the puzzle that's been missing for 55 years.

    You have my vote RN but how long before the Hawks vacate? 

    I might add my vote is worth nine tenths of bugger all.

    ? I can't see it happening OD but i believe it's 2022.  Would we even get a vote?  I can't recall voting on anything other than board members over the years and the merger

    IMO we cannot wait till 2022 and the only ones who would agree to Waverly would be you and me. As there is no location to vote on our votes won't be required RN.

    • 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.
