We will be playing on a cow paddock tomorrow! Might help us. 

Surface looks very chopped up. Grass is a strange almost brown colour. MCG uses heat lamps to keep the grass growing in winter. I suspect they just rely on winter sun at the Showgrounds.

    Commentators going on and on about the Dawk's inconsistency. Well, what do you expect when the side is packed with inconsistent b-graders that other clubs were happy to off-load? 

    I can't understand why Dawkthorn have escaped media scrutiny. They've treaded water for five years. They don't have one a-grader (with the possible exception of Sicily) in the club that they've bought through from drafting for 10 years. They are in deep long-term trouble IMHO.

    They’re an absolute scrap-head challenge of a list. Lucky they have Clarkson.

    Frosty not doing too bad tonight and plenty of niggle.  All things being equal wld much rather have Frost running around in defence than Smith or Lever at this point.

    Who's getting the cash down at Glenferrie Road? They are almost like us in 2012. There must be very ordinary players on good coin.

    Dawks need to get a total of 25 points if they are to avoid their lowest ever score under Clarkson of 31 points (time reduction adjusted).

    It does look choppy but I’d doubt the huge  stands are exactly cutting out the sun light I would have thought DJ.

    Broken wrist for sure

    At least they aren't showing us replay after replay of the injury.  There have been a few where they took great delight in finding the best possible close-up angle to put on super slow-mo just to make us all nauseous.

    One of the all time classics right there Uncle.  Not even a replay either.  Channel 7 always very 'AFL compliant' ?

    Pies are so well drilled. Seems like a lot of mature heads in the group and minimal cocky kids. If only that was us.

    Yep. To quick for those umpires. About time they sort Treloar out. Just about throws every time in traffic.

    What about those Dee rejects. Frost I would say was just OK but Frawley and Scully were next to being liabilities.

    3 goals since 1st qtr. Ugh.  What a spectacle.

    Good thing the AFL rushed through the Clarkson holding the ball interpretation change, has really opened up the scoring.

    Frost is a better player than all of Lever, O Mac and Joel Smith but most around here can’t admit it just because he’s wearing a different jumper.

    Frost was huuuuuuuuuge all night. Nine touches, zero tackles and a couple of clangers for good measure. 

    Agreed that he’s a much better player than Smith though.

    Tell me how I "clearly do not understand footy" when I think Tom Mitchell... The 2018 Brownlow medalist at 27 years old is not an A grade talent?

    • 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.
