sadly i agree , think we be lucky to get within 60 points ... ย 

i can never work out why we have to player interstate sides in NT ,ย its a advantage to them. I know re $$ but we need wins.ย 

We play the interstate teams there because they're the teams we would get the lowest attendances to for home games in Melbourne.

You wouldn't play a Melbourne team there, when we would normally get at least 35,000 to that home game.

    GWS maybe?

    Expect to see a lot of McGovern on tv today.

    My money is on him to break the record for intercept marks. His game is absolutely MADE for playing a team like us.

    We need a miracle.

    Too much for something that approaches football.....and doesn't resemble manic dodgems ?

    I do sense however the Eagles will control the ball, control the tempo and therefore the game.

    We might fly out of the gate with delusional exuberance to the chorus of euphoric rapture but it never lasts long.

    I'd be content today if we can just exhibit some intelligence with the ball......again....too much ?

    Iโ€™m looking forward to the commentary on how Gilbert MacAdams Aunty or uncle kicked a goal in a local league gameย from beyond the tree in the outer wing which is about a 85m roost.

    We should have either Pruess orย Gawn stationed deep forward to bring it to ground all day . Our bigs and mids will do well . Hopefully we can manufacture enough goals . May will curb kennedy somthing we never have .

    we are a chance .ย

    Earlier in the season when hope still sprung eternal the Gameday Thread was always bullish and full of humour ( not all of it funny I'll admit) but now, like all else Demonish,ย  there's a surfeit of apathy and despair.

    It now fails to lift the spirits of even a sad old flagellator such as myself .

    Arrrh!!! โ€ฆ. The MFC has a lot to answer for.

    Am expecting an 80 pt drubbing so hopefully we at least crack in and provide some interest for us dieย hardsย 

    So far a successful trip for the Dees to Alice, with the Casey VFLW team having a 65-point win over NT Thunder yesterday. Their biggest win of the season so far and well-deserved by the sounds of it.

    Fingers crossed for an unlikely double!

    Remember in recent seasons when we used to discuss which Melbourne team would turn up.

    Hard to fathom that by comparison those were the good times.

    • Haha 1

    I have no idea what to expect. But I fear Hurn and McGovern are just going to mark everything that comes down our forward line as we didn't have much depth or experience down there. Hopefully Rawlings has come up with a good game plan.ย 

    But having been to the ground it has the most beautiful background with the ranges there.ย 

    Just have a go today melbourneย 


    Hurn late out.

    Debutant Franky Watson in. Quick rebounding indigenous half back. Eagles with 6 indigenous players out there today.

    We are into $2.40 now for the win. Vs a flag fancy.ย 

    Either punters know something we don't, or there is still an element of trust and belief in this team from punters.ย

    Pressure is off Praha. We cannot make Finals, so we are a big chance to โ€œturn upโ€ today...

    • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
