So a player can be reported for contact when going for a mark? This is weaker than soccer

 

Loving Jones off half back. Give the man another contract.

 

Great entertaining game all round so far

    Landed badly on his ankle. He’s back now. 

    Viney off now. Doesn’t look good. 

    He seems ok now. Christ, that was a physical half and a half. Great to see the team come off in one piece.

    Rubbish. We undoubtedly deserve to be ahead.

    Yeah he seemed to be ok as they were walking off to the rooms at half time. He didn’t look too bothered.

    Weideman needs to get involved!!

    Too often goes missing for too many quarters when the going gets tough.  Tends to look/perform better when we are on top.

    Might be a sticky taped together piece but you’re right.

    Midfield is getting smashed today. Lucky our backline has been so good. Harmes, Oliver and Brayshaw need to get their [censored] together.

    Centre clearances?

    Plenty of times this year we've dominated clearances and have been smashed. Everywhere else we have been better or even with the Lions. They are absolutely butchering it and part of it is our pressure.

    Neal-Bullen is important for this. Yes he can butcher it at times but he does a lot fo good work for us as well.

    Jack and Max sitting with some of the other boys in a huddle in the rooms. Perhaps a good sign they're not having medical attention?

    Jack Viney always looked fine. I'd be shocked if he misses the rest of this game.

    We could really consolidate 16th spot if we win this!!

    There is that same rushed disconnect between the middle and the forwards, at least three times we were breaking and instead of looking for the intelligent link up kick they’d bomb a high one to our forwards. It easy pickings for the lions defence. 

    Hopefully we can start to get on top at the bounces with Max back and their ruckman down, I hope he’s already because it looked very nasty the way he flopped onto the ground. 

    If there is even the slightest thought that Jacks foot has flared up then put him on the bench for the rest of the game. We really are having a wretched run of injuries this year.

    We’re in front, probably shouldn’t be but how many times have we felt this way! It’s about time we got one to swing back our way!

    If he has i havent seen it BBO.  Maybe a fingertip on the ball in the ruck.  He just doesn't impact enough when the game's up for grabs.  Looks like a little lost boy out there.  No aggression or attack at the ball or the ball carrier.  You cant play like that at this level as a Key Forward and  expect that your team will win more often than not.  Like playing a player down up forward.

    Watts was the last player who played in a similar "choose when to go" fashion and never quite made the grade.  How long do we have to wait before he steps up and shows something ...when we need it and not when we are coasting i mean?

    • 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.

      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

      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.
