When do they play it? Preseason or mid year?

I don’t care, but seeing the skill level is wonderful, the lack of intensity a much less so. 
 

Neville... sorry Sir Neville... what a gun he is!

 

It's a fantastic standard and a great showcase tonight.  Here's how you sell the sport to new eyes.

I really envy what they do up North with the State of Origin Rugby League.

It might work in the pre-season (demand-wise) if the game was for a worthy cause.  And there's plenty of worthy causes so that part of the equation is do-able at least.

But Aussie Rules fans are way too rusted on to their teams only. 

Worthy cause,  players being always available,  as part of the pre-season and then embraced by the fans ongoing - big ask but I'd love to see it.

We could at least play these high standard games every now and again (every 3 or 4 years)

State of Origin will be dead forever after this shitfest.  


Jetta - 7 Disposals at 100% efficiency , 4 intercept possessions and 2 score involvements.

BOG!

There's plenty of intensity ... the skill level means less congestion and more open footy

And State footy has always been like that.  Lower skills = congestion,  packs etc.

It’s all a bit... nice.

Lots of smiles, lots of open space.

Yes, it’s for a very worthy cause, but if it’s to be played again same time next year, it’d be great to see Vics vs WA or SA.

 

Ted Whittens legends match has more grunt than this rubbish.

Macca there is zero intensity, seeing players giggling while they have the ball looking for targets shows that.

Josh Kelly is a freak too. Wish we could have found a way to make a play for him too. 

Sadly, hindsight tells us we had two chances to take Kelly as he was a close runner-up to Hogan in the 2012 mini-draft.

Oh well!  If we had of taken Cripps at pick 9, we’d now be hailed as geniuses.

The GWS trade was a good move at the time IMHO.

They look fair dinkum to me ... the sport is basically keepings-off these days so what on earth do you expect if the most highly skilled players are all involved.

A much much better version of keepings-off.  Stands to reason

You put 2 low skilled teams against each other and you're going to see an ugly mess.  Looks more intense but it's a ruse. 

Anyway,  I'm thoroughly enjoying tonight's game and if others prefer to watch 'scramble-ball',  go right ahead. Ha ha!

Even good players play worse when Under pressure

The “Mexican wave” wave on the crowd says otherwise to me but each to there own. 
As I said from a skill level stand point I’ve loved it, it has no intensity which totally detracts from the game, it’s a fundraiser.

That's just Darren Jarman standing up.

  • 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.
