I just had a really vivid dream where whilst other stuff was happening, the Melb v Carl score line was live throughout. most of the numbers were very specific..
Q1 - Melb 0 Carl 3 

Q2- Melb 3 Carl 8 

Q3- Melb 63 Carl 21 

Final- Melb 138 Carl 38

An exact 100 point margin.

I had the exact same dream. Bennell kicked the last 12 goals of the game.

Go have your coffee and Zoloft, faulty, dreams can come true. 

Wake up to yourself.

 

Let's hope the delivery from Bennell can make a difference to our disgusting inside 50's.  That would be a dream come true.

I’m not sure what’s more concerning - the fact you actually took my initial post literally/seriously or your belligerent over-reactive responses. 
Maybe we misinterpret each other. Good day to you, sir.

Jackson, Rivers and Bennell. That’s some extra natural talent there. 

I reckon these selections are based on the speed the game is going to be played at.

2 first gamers plus Bennell who hasn’t played in 2 yrs+ seems a bit risky.  Very hard with no vfl but how have 2 x 1st gamers earned a spot????

Training form is all they can be judged on.

 

Interesting that the coaches think these ins will give us a better chance of winning. They must surely rate the kids highly.

Surely Jones and Salem will be considered, and if so, who will all the outs be?

That is Monstrous third qarter 12 goals in 20 minutes. a goal every 1.6 minutes

The football club is sending a huge message.  If you don’t step up, your spot will go to a kid who will make an effort.  Might be an interesting year of development in some new key players for our future??


I'm joining a bit of a chorus here that I think Harmes should be placed into a run with role on Cripps, he is a really damaging player and if left unchecked could really hurt us. 

 

Didn't think it was worth creating a new thread but seems we don't have any love coming our way from the Fox Footy experts. As always there's a love in for Hawthorn though. I will say this, if people were hoping to see significant improvements or changes in round one this year compared to 2019 then understandably they would have been disappointed with what we put up. For me that is why this match is so crucial to us getting our season started again, confidence is a funny thing in sport and we have been so low on it in the last 12-18 months.

I estimate this is a 5 goal better side than Round1. 
Of course it has to play up to expectations .

That gets us to an underwhelming 81 points. Which is what Carlton kicked in their round 1 loss to the reigning Premiers.

Yes I have thought of this but did u think we were or are only a 7 goal side on Round1?

I didn't but we played our underwhelming wasteful forward way so say 10 goals might be our estimate in Round 1.

I would be knocked over with a feather if we kicked 15 goals and were beaten by the Blues.

Glad we are taking risks Hogan, we have been conservative for a very long time imo in regards to player selection.

I got it from the grape vine that we are going to make  at least 7 changes from the last game. 

What do you think LN.

Seems like the right amount or so. We've got Bennell, Jackson and Rivers locked in, Smith, Salem and Jones as almost definites, then possibly Weid, vandenBerg, Hannan, Hunt, Sparrow all around the mark to choose from.

Feels like a lot at first, but then you think it's basically another round 1 given the break.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
