Is it just me...ย or is the footy just completely uninspired this year -ย to the point where it feels irrelevant?

Boring games, no passion, feels like watching training.ย 

You aren't alone, the way the game is played is incredibly scrappy and low skilled, lots of stoppages and the free kicks at times just seem to be random.

I don't know what happened to the footy that was played only a couple of years ago, maybe we can put a little bit down to COVID making things a little weird but it just seems like such a mess right now.

Frost is a better playerย than all ofย Lever, O Mac and Joel Smith but most around here canโ€™t admit itย just because heโ€™s wearing a different jumper.

Smith - Yes
Lever - Right now, about the same
OMac - Well Oscar played well in his one and only game, let's see how he goes this weekend

Frost himself, not devastated he left. I had my heart in my mouth every time he got the ball, and defensively he gets caught out quite a bit. What exactly has he done at the Hawks so far to warrant your praise?

ย 

Me thinking to myself.

*Hawks won't play two shocking games in a row, I wonder who they've got next week*

*Checks fixture*

"Ah crap!"

*Logs into tab app*


Anyone else notice Bruce's very bad choice of words when describing a passage of play by Isaac Quaynor. The "correction" quickly followed.

Think Bert Newton and Muhammad Ali

ย 

Saints are good to watch. Hill and Butler add a real running dimension. They look fit and fast and scoring even if it is only Freo.
ย 

Wowee itโ€™s good to see a coach (Ratten) show something in the coaches box.ย 

Saints have kicked 6 in the first term, which is double what the Hawks could conjure up in an entire game last night.

No doubt the Saints are good to watch and well coached at present, however Freo are pretty terrible.


Saints proving what shrewed recruiting is.

Don't need to go out and spend 800k on a defender when you you recruit someone like a Dougalย Howard who'll come in and just do the job.

Butler, Hill, Jones all playing critical roles for the saints.

As teams find finals impossible I think the drop in form will be greater than normal years. Another loss by Freo and Adelaide and they are done for the year.

Big game for the Dees today

They wasted that much on Carlisle

Yes indeed. He will be the first if Goody keeps getting it wrong!!

Under Richardson.

Ratten knows what he's doing.

Hard to argue with that the way they are playing. Think Clark and Coffield have both been impressive this season and neither seemed to get a good go under Richardson.

Long assaulted a player (Darcy)ย bending down to collect the ball.

An example of the apple not falling far from the tree? (Michael Long/Troy Simmonds - 2000 GF)


Seems to be a pattern in the past couple ofย seasons where teams get bully like kick sand in faceย fast starts and then drop offย allowing the opposition to get back in the game. A trait we have been particularly good at in recent seasons and then fading.

I though he was part of our FD already.

Going back to the Hawks game for a moment - their team out there for 3 goals in a game had an average age of 27 - more than a year older even than the team Collingwood sent out, and the Pies themselvesย  are one of the oldest teams running around at present.

I'm already dreaming of a win over Gold Coast followed by a thumping of Hawthorn to declare our return.

I really hate Hawthorn.ย  I really do.

Saints awful in that quarter. Another average team pumped up by former players in the media.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
