Just looking at the beginning of the Sydney v Collingwood game.  These players seem to have terribly shiny upper arms.  Surely there's some sort of rule about not greasing up the players?  It looks like every one of them has been slathered in Vaseline.

    Commentators on radio just described the grass as slick, too. Maybe there's been a general vaseline spill att he SCG?

    Probably, but it just struck me and I kind of look at it as in the same ballpark as the English Cricket Team and their special lozenges or Trav Cloke's sticky glove.  There may not be a specific rule against it, but it's certainly not 100% legitimate.

    Never seen Buddy or Josh Gibson play?

    Its baby oil/massage oil, used now on arms more as a lubricant to help avoid/slip tackles

    Would not be surprised if it ends up all over the ball... maybe exacerbates the poor skills of some teams (like us)

    Maggots having a huge influence on this game. 

    Not one 50/50 that I have seen against Pies. 

    That last deliberate would not have been paid against Pies.

    It’s been one of the better umpired games this season.....Until the last quarter.

    Seriously how dumb is Rampe? Maine missed that goal and they would have had a chance to get it down the other end. Instead he blatantly runs over the mark. How is he captain? The past few weeks he has made some dumb decisions.

    Loose cannon!  Got away with post gate.  Sealed the game with this 2nd brain fart.

    I wonder what Longmire will say to him after the game?

    But how good was it seeing Neale at 1/2 time talking about the big freeze #5? Gosh that man is remarkable. 

    Anyway tomorrows game interest me now. Nth and the dogs if the story is true it will be Brad's last game. You would hate to be the bulldogs because now you know the roos will come out firing.

    Collingwood can't rely on winning this way every round... I have this strange strange feeling that in just a few weeks time they are going to be hit by a serious upset.

    • 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.
