Awkward day today as the wife follows the dogs while the three kids and I the demons. Wanted to go to the game but oldest daughter has her first gymnastics competition this arvo so will cheer her on and scream at the maggot gymnastics judges instead ? (jokes). Will have the iPad at the ready of course so while the other miniature people are doing their routines I can be watching our boys beat up on the dogs!

Go Demons!!! ?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️

After witnessing the winning performances in this round of two other clubs heavily affected by injuries - Collingwood and Essendon - all I can say is the time for making excuses is well and truly over. 

Essendon are missing only 4-5 of their best 22. Their injury woes this year have been exaggerated by the media.

Collingwood is another story. Good depth.

 

Did anyone hear anything about Oliver doing a fitness test yesterday? Saw something about it on social media but can't seem to see anything here from any of the regular track watchers.


I shall be viewing this game from the ever warm and welcoming bosom of The Manor.

It will interesting to watch the impact Preuss up forward. I do not expect him or Max to kick a bag as they will be swarmed by defenders whenever the pill gets anywhere near. The ball will come to ground.

However, hopefully the likes of Hannan, Petracca, Brayshaw and Hunt will be presented with resultant opportunities.

I will not be surprised if we get a sneaky win out of this.

If we are close at 3/4 time, I shall lock the maid up.

Was never valid ;)

Lock this in as a win....just not ours

Just want to see some invention...some clever use of the troops at hand.

 

What I love most about supporting Melbourne is the fact that it is the flagship team on both a micro and a macro level of  the AFL’s notion of an equal playing field / or ‘any given sunday’.

I love that season to season we don’t know what we’re going to get, and even if we’re up 6 goals early in the 4th - the players love to model just how even the competition really is.

time to break out the popcorn for a 10 goal loss.

How on Earth do we go plan to kick goals with no forward line? 

We will be destroyed unless the midfield wins everything

gonna be a long day methinks

Dogs are in decent form but are nothing to be scared of. They lost to Carlton and the suns this year and have 7 wins to our 5.

Our defence and midfield could get on top if we are switched on. Close tagging of the Bont is crucial including a plan when he goes fwd.

It will be low scoring. frustrating game to watch unless we lower our eyes and hit up the mid sized fwds.

bugger it, I reckon we will win.

Lever is overdue to sing our song post-game. Hope he remembers the words because we win by 20 today.

Pruess actually leads out rather well and is deceptively quick. I expect we’ll go in low and fast to the big unit. Good luck to anyone who gets in his way. 

Max on the other hand relies on judging the high ball so he’ll need help here.

Pruess will kick a bag!

I like the idea of playing Max forward as much as we play Preuss there. Only while we have Sam out of the team.

Max’s marking is exceptional!

Nope but heard he has a leg issue.  Late out?

I guess potentially, haven't heard it confirmed that he did have a fitness test and have no idea how it went if he did. Just a rumour at this stage I guess, but did hear calf somewhere a few days ago now that you mention a leg issue.

Exactly. Pies also only have 4-5 of their best out. And as you day have good depth, we dont and so tbey can cover injuries better than us.

I can feel a win comeing on us by 5 goals the big bloke to kick 5

He'll  need to ;)


Dogs don't really have a forward line either.

I'm not so sure about that bb. If he kicks 2or 3 he'll do his job.

As I mentioned above, I reckon it's more about the other forwards using the opportunities he will create and of course getting the ball in there quickly

Must be some solid bets on us, into $2.15. Line now 5.5 after being 12.5 earlier this week.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
