The VFL players are going in hard for the ball and really taking advantage of the opportunity, where as the four AFL players (who have played a senior game - Hunt, Hore, Baker and J. Wagner) are going about it quite casually in comparison.

Bedford looking sharp.

Essendon have fielded a few of their (injury permitting) best 22 and it's showing against our mainly VFL side, which should also be noted is featuring many new faces.

How has rivers been?

6.3.39 leads 3.5.23. So 9 scoring shots to 8. Clean up the kicking and they might have a show.

Have counted at least 8 best 22 players for Essendrug.


Essendon arent playing in the Marsh Series this weekend thats why their playing a strong team against our kids today.

Our real game is tomorrow.

Good, nothing to note particularly, but has been relatively clean with the ball and getting amongst it.

Hopefully see a bit more in the second. 

 

Predominantly Essendon (bogan) crowd I assume most Melbourne supporters have jobs to go to

There is a notable amount of Essendon supporters here, I was wondering... why.

Bombers taking control.

Interesting to see the works on the non grandstand wing. It's usually a lonely place over there during a VFL game. Much nicer on the grass verges that start around the 50 metre arc at both ends.

Is Bradtke rucking and what level is the Essendon opponent?

Thanks

He is, but is sharing the load with the VFL ruckman (wearing #1) name evades me. 

No clue who the Essendon ruck is, but it's very 50/50.

For us, Hore is grabbing everything that comes his way (which is quite a lot), his disposals have been serviceable, nothing outstanding. 

Rivers is having a fair crack, when he gets it he is rushing a little bit and doesn't have a lot of poise, disposal is a reflection of that and has had a couple of blunders. His reading the play well and is getting into good positions. 

Hunt is really not doing a lot.

Baker the same as Hunt, just going about it.

Bedford is picking the ball up well and presenting into space, his decision making on positioning has stepped up a notch and he looks more confident - compared to last year where he was very opportunistic and waited on the outer for the ball.

Bradtke has flown at the ball well and has taken a couple of good grabs, including a nice contested one. Still needs size, but it'll come.

J. Wagner much the same as Hunt and Baker.

*Rivers just slotted one from just inside 50 off a step, good kick.

And they go down by 74 points.

Good day for the club. 

Players who are being rotated still get a run against some AFL standard players and it looks like our guys got through unscathed. 

Great result.

  • 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.
