    Pickett oozes class

    We've got ouselves a player

     

    Fritsch is so much better when played as a high half forward. The problem is that we still have not a single marking forward inside 50. Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me.

    A lot of people being critical! Our effort is good, our midfield well on top, just poor delivery too often.

    A great play in the final 20 seconds of the quarter leading to a goal after the siren. So un-Melbourne like...

    Endeavour and intensity looks much better than last couple of weeks.

    Probably taking it on a bit TOO much at times, but I'd rather see that than playing exclusively around the boundaries.

    Tidy up execution and we'll be looking good

    How good is Trac

    [censored] good. 

    Had my phone charging for the first qtr here now!

    Happy with the first qtr, the intensity is good and I don't feel Richmond's goals are coming from good play. Speed of ball movement will give us a chance. 

    All Richmond's goals came from turnovers and decision errors. 

    In passages, starting to look like a team. Going take half the season to get it more consistent.

    Still would have preferred O'Mac, and VDB is going to need more than a couple of games to get back to his best.

    Some good movement from Brayshaw too that qtr.

    We got lucky with Richmond missing some very easy goals and Riewoldt and Lynch dropping sitters inside 50. Vandanberg missed an easy pass to McDonald inside 50 but that is just Vandanberg rather than an unlucky passage of play.

    BT can’t tell Langdon and Hunt apart. The confused silence when Langdon got it, he called Hunt, and then Langdon passed it TO Hunt was pretty funny.

    I’d be mad but I’ve got to admit that on the far camera angles I’m struggling too.

    As much as BT is a gnob  i struggle with that too

    Pickett showed more vision with that kick than anyone showed all game last week.

    I saw a defender make no second effort while the ball was still in play. He walked to an opponent to watch him take an easy mark. Terrible passage of play. Very disappointing.

    Clean up our kicking and we’re away. Effort and energy is excellent. Big difference in the style of hand balling between the two sides: we handball to someone next to us, who then has to do the same thing, before we eventually get caught. Richmond handball to someone 5 meters away.

    They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair.

    entertaining quarter of footy

    they're just that little bit quicker, little bit cleaner than us - as they should be, being premiers two of the last three years

    if we can clean up our overuse of the pill and not do that one-too-many handball thing in close that we insist on doing we're going okay

    • 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.
