    pleasant result

    obviously we played Carlton into form including teaching the how to stop playing... mind you they left it till 3/4 time

    So, just to confirm, if we had the opportunity to beat Essendon tomorrow, we would be in front of Richmond, West Coast, Geelong, GWS and the Dogs.

    Each of those sides has had a shock loss to an ostensibly worse side (Richmond to Hawthorn, WC to GC, Geelong to Carlton, GWS to North, the Dogs to St Kilda).

    This season is clearly ridiculous.

    And, I'm not suggesting we're any good, but our only loss so far is West Coast in Perth. We also beat the side which just beat Geelong in Geelong.

    Carlton look really good with three tall forwards.

    No idea why we didn’t replace Jackson with Weideman, we need more tall targets.

    Meanwhile West Coast go in with their tall forward line and can't take a mark.

    Carlton's tall forwards last week didn't exactly set the world on fire, either.

    (Having said that, I'm also surprised we planned to go into tomorrow with just TMac. Possibly horses for courses because Essendon is small and fast).

    A big issue for the eagles is key to their success is darling and Kennedy but they are playing all their first four games at night at the gabba. It is notoriously slippery at night up there. Particularly after half time. Very, very hard to mark.

    We could be too fresh after one game in how many months? I hope tomorrow’s Intra Club at the MCG is full on. I don’t want manic tackling but it should go the full time to test their fitness and make it clear performances will count.

    Or stale.

    How good are the Dees!?  We knock off Carlton on their home ground, then they beat the Cats at their dung-heap!
    But Hawthorn and Carlton don’t know what it’s like with 30000 Cats fans pumping up the players, and influencing the umps.

    Essendon and Collingwood don’t know either.

    West coast are losing because Simpson is crying about being in a hub,  they see their coach  sooking it,  it's spreading through the team, they are all sooking it up, coach must be a pillar of strength not weakness.

    What if it's multiple factors...

    Its open season for sure now with the flag. Just about anyone can win it.

    Though after watching Collingwood they just simply look a class above everyone else.

    Kennedy and Darling from West Coast are cooked btw.

    They are playing with no effort, the players are disinterested, watched the game weak effort everywhere, after the loss against suns, the coach chose to sook instead of firing up his team.

    I dunno. Is there only 2 options: 0% and 100% effort? I think they could've applied more effort, but I don't think theyre in the game within 3 goals with 10min to go, if there is No Effort.

    Just multiple factors that prove insurmountable for em. Weather, Lions, not enough Effort from 5-10 players, missing mcgovern, away game, sooking over hubs etc. Are you discrediting Brisbane? Lachie Neale , Cam Rainer, Hugh McClugg, Harrison Andrews, Berry. All were firing, maybe Brisbane just hit their straps last night. I liked their game. And it proved they'll be in the 4-8 range for me. 

    Edit- The "line in the sand news" about wce refusing more games in the hub r4-6  put a smile on my face though ?

    Not discrediting Brisbane, but losing to the suns, Brisbane never got out of 3nd gear, they don't want to be there, and it starts with the coach, saying we will play anywhere anytime. Simpson a weak sook.

    They are moving things around to maximise TV coverage thanks to the whacky antics of COVID McKenna.

    Well they maximised it where I live to the extent there is no match on TV.  Probably no loss anyway.

    Both matches are at Metricon . They need to give all facilities a thorough clean before the next 2 teams enter the ground.

    • 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.
