Vanders may not have great stats, but he hit hard, stopped a lot of Crows forward movements and when he kicked he generally hit a target. I thought he was good.

    Weid became more effective as the game wore on. He was good in the final qtr. The important point is that he rucked all day, and he negated their advantage. Credit where credit is due. Jackson showed that he can give a chop out. In the first half his ruck work was promising.

    Chest mark in the last 2 minutes? Yes. He played in front, which was good to see.

    Jones and Jetta had minor niggles in the second half, but you would assume they would be fine for the game against the Hawks in Tassie.

    Other than that I think we came out unscathed.

    Disappointing second quarter,  in the first part we did not seem fully interested,  shades of 2019 I thought,   But once we got going and Kossie had a bit of it,  the rest of the game just got better n betterer.

    I had thought, kiss winning in the west on the [donkey],   but maybe not,   If we are within a couple of goals at three quarter   we should run over anyone in the first few games. Then lets see how the rest d the season pans out.

     

    Go Dees 2020 !!

    Jones had a lower leg injury (ankle, foot?). Jetta was in some trouble with apparent jarring in the last but ran it off.

    Not fussed with the result but some very good signs with Trac, Lever, TMac, Oliver being Oliver, Jones up forward, Pickett (small glimpses), Jackson (didn’t do much but his spring in the ruck was very exciting) and lastly the fitness to really run out the game.

    Hard to work out whether Weed played well or not:

    - fair few on here saying was hopeless

    - he had c.20 possessions

    - AFL listed him in our best

     ?‍♂️

    Weid played a great game. Hes a 196cm key forward who had to ruck the whole game against a 202cm genuine ruckman. Once Gawn and Pruess come back in Weid give us another option up forward alongside Brown and McDonald.

    I thought he played well - he still needs to take the bull by the horns and clunk some marks for us, but when you consider the fact that he rucked most of the day, I think he had a positive influence on the game.

    i thought he was good. he's under sized for a ruck but he battled manfully all day. dropped a couple of marks but really offered something at ground level around the stoppages I thought.

    Really pleasing to see them play the game out. We were kicking into a fairly stiff breeze in that final quarter.

    Weid was solid playing out of position.  If he had clunked 3 or 4 of those marks when he had first hands on the ball, his game would have gone from 'solid' to very good.

    A lot to like in that game, I thought we were better as the day went on.  A lot to do with fitness but we became less fumbly too.  Petracca would have received the 3,2 and 1 votes he was that good.

    Weid got his hands on plenty but just couldn't stick them, if he had have held onto 3 or 4 of those marks he would have had a good game.

    Add Gawn to that lineup and we win by a lot more, they had a big advantage in the ruck.

    T McDonald will be better for the run, the longer the game went, the better he became.

    O McDonald basically not mentioned on here, which is about the highest praise the poor bloke gets.

    I wince every time AVB tackles someone, it looks like it really hurts.

    Can't wait for the real stuff to start.

    I swear a lot of people are just sheep aren't they, one person says weed played terrible, then another person just repeat what the other bloke says, without actualy looking at his game, 20 hitout 19 pos, 3 clearances 2 Mark 3 tackles, by a non ruckman agnist one of the top 5 ruckman in 2019, he's actually had a elite game by ruckman great game.

    The one that he eased across the face and was marked inside the opposite point post?

    Yeah right. You see what you want to see. Confirmation bias 101.

    • 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.
