Because he lasted about 1 quarter, he drops marks and is not agile.  Hopefully the off season can start to change this.

I don’t disagree with that but in the absence of any other tall options he is our only alternative. Just give him a simple instruction see ball and bring it to ground. Other players do not compete against him for mark focus on crumbing and locking ball in.

    Just blow the final siren already. 

    Pre bye I was looking forward to this game as an opportunity to emphatically prove that the pre-bye form of the team was an aberration.

    Please forgive my stupidity.

     

    Goodwin's last hoorah.

    I’ll try to add some excitement 

    umm... who will win our top goal scorer???

    trac on 22

    hunt on 20

    fritsch on 17

    we’ll probably only kick 6 goals as a team so bailey is out. It’s a two horse race!!

    be nice for Trac to kick 3-4 and cap off a good year of steady improvement

    gotta do something to up his trade value.

    I’ll just be happy to see the game finish without any serious injuries.

    I'm not usually into self mortification but I'll watch today's game.

    Geez I will miss the lack of effort, skills and consistency from the team.

    Thank the good lord the season is over. 

    Now to the good stuff ( trading speculation)

    You mean the threads where we pontificate and drool over all the amazing top line recruits and A grade free agents out there that mostly end up at the top 4/5 Vic clubs and interstate clubs?

    If we kick with the 13 goal wind on offer in the first quarter we might actually lead for a break.

    I shudder to think of the quarter time margin if North have the wind.

    I shudder to think of the quarter time margin if they don't.

    Then there's the final margin.

    The only thing i'm hoping to see out of today'' game is zero injuries, especially to Max.  Any other team would put Max in cotton wool for next year

    I have no enthusiasm  for  game.

    I will watch it until it becomes obvious either we will get a jolly good flogging or Ronald McDonald head just pisses me off.

    Personally BBO I’d never use the words “flogging” and “head” in the same sentence - unless I really meant it.

    • Haha 1

    Still haven't decided if I am going to the game.


    This game will say more about our headspace and culture than any since the bye "reset"

    Do we try our guts out until the final siren, or do we fold like a pack of cards in a cyclone ....?

    Our history in these type of games is diabolical. Cant see today being any different.

    I think North might win this one by 15 goals.

    Players decide the future course of the club today...

    We got flogged 80+ I think certain decisions will have to be made...

    As that Freo bloke said, we don't have time to tread water anymore...nor does any club.

    This game means nothing. What does it matter if we lose by 10 points or 70?

    I hope we lose.

    Richmond got disgraced in the final round by Sydney and went on to win a premiership the following year.

    Richmond sacked all the assistants and backed in Hardwick.

    Today is the beginning of an era.

    I've tipped us!!!

    (Ok, not for any other reason than I need to do something to try and win my footy tipping)

    In all seriousness, surely after the pasting they've copped this week the playing group should have some pride and put in a good showing. Or is that wishing for too much?


    If we lose, I expect the AFL to claim we were tanking even though that's an illogical conclusion; and if we win, I expect the AFL to say we were tanking up until this week.

    Good luck to the team. Yes, it's been a disppointing season, but I still can't resist following the day's events and hope, if not for a win, at least for a decent contest. A number of players, not just Lewis, might be playing their last game for the club today. I hope they can finish with smiles on their faces.

    If we lose by 70 then there may be a press conference on Sunday evening.

    • 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.
