Like watching 2018.

All started with the inside 50 pressure tackling.

The midfield on fire led by terriffic trac and a leaders game in max.

 Oliver hitting targets all day

The frwd line was working with some awesome ball movement into it.

May and lever finally working really well together.

Add some great effort from some newcomers and this is the stuff we frustrated supporters believed we could do but could not understand why we dont.

Some great footage of a worried clarko all day was good to see.

Go dees.

Well said.

Cracking game.  So enjoyable.  Loving Langdon.  Everyone obviously.  That was an absolute clinic at times.  

Dominated them.

 

Just going to say that Viney was immense, especially in the first half when the game was to be won. And his kicking into f50 has become exceptional.

Genuine excitement all over the ground, especially with new recruits Bennell, Langdon, Kozzie and Jackson 

Two In the running for All Australian in Gawn and Petracca who has arrived and playing with supreme confidence.

Even Omac looks solid, which leaves May and lever to perform their accustom roles.

Fritsch and Weed are still young and have the attributes to successfully become reliable targets for us.

Its honestly mystifying that it took until last week for the coaches to play Weideman. Our structure looks so much better with him crashing packs and clunking marks. Great to see him get on the end of a few goals. Probably should've finished with five. 

Also....Luke Jackson: 14 touches, three marks (two contested), three tackles and a goal in just his second game. Early days, but Action Jackson looks super impressive.

So glad I claimed that name....

Great win, strangled them and they could never get going.

Loved Weideman's play on the wing, got a hospital handball from a teammate and made the ball his goal while Stratton went for the cheap hit. Took a lot of guts.

And didn't vanders give it to Stratton afterwards. We don't have too many players that do that.

@picket fence   Still want Brown and Joel Smith in the team ahead of LJ?  :)

Just busting your balls, enjoy the win

Granted! 

 

How good is it to be able to sit, watch the entire game without extended periods of gut-wrencing mistakes, and win 4 quarters!?!?

The start of the 3rd quarter showed our worst, but we rallied and picked it up again. 

A lot of positives, especially from some young guns.

Gawn, Trac, Langdon, Weid... thanks for giving me a positive Monday.

And it's amazing how good our game plan looks when we hit our targets.

I hope posters took my tip of the line bet and a good go at over 24 points.

Because y mate and i didn't.

I had us under 39 the only negative of the day

No sugarcoating this one... The Dees are bad and we made them look like stars.

Its very good.  It's strange. It's a rare experience.  Can win a flag playing like that

Jackson is almost 200cm and is 18yo. You wouldn’t know it! He is such a smooth mover and has very good awareness and decision making. 
will be a beauty

When he kicked that goal, I wondered what his parents must be thinking. The look on the kid's face!

(I'm of that vintage)


Petracca is 6th in the league in disposals per game.   His 24.5 average would be closer to 30 touches a game in a normal season without shortened quarters.

Oh by the way, Oliver is 3rd.

What a combo these two are!

To everyone - enjoy it.  While it's only a win during a long season, smashing the Hawks by 7 goals is something you can't ignore.  They have embarrassed us so many times over the last decade and now it's our time to start paying them back.

Trac was sublime.

Gawny stood up as captain and dominated all day.

Viney and Oliver were awesome in the engine room

Jackson was the right pick and was terrific.

Our backline made them look ordinary, and they have been building to this for weeks now.

Everything is starting to come together and it is exciting to watch.

Go Dees!

AND CLAYTON OLIVER back to AA Form

Who are the other 4 above him out of interest? Can’t imagine any of them are bossing games like Trac is at the moment.

That was the most enjoyable two hours of football I can recall since we decimated Adelaide in Alice Springs a couple of years back.

I can’t recall too many periods in the past 20 years where we have had a genuinely elite player. On current form, we have two. I know other teams have good players, but I think Gawn and Petracca measure up to any other player out there at present. 

Remember when everyone didn’t want to draft Jackson? Me too. I didn’t want him. Ruckman take 5 years apparently. I’ve seen enough after two games. Wowee.

It might amount to nothing, but it’s so nice to see that kind of entertainment again on a Sunday afternoon. Especially in the middle of a pandemic. Thank you Melbourne. 

 

 

 

Best game since 2018.

 

Tracc and Gawn were immense.

 

Ive seen a few mention it, but I reckon Langdon deserves a heap of praise. Last week was good, this week we saw exactly why we went after him. Runs and Runs and runs and hit his targets today. 
 

also thought Clarry improved as the game went on. Getting better at picking when to handball and when to kick. Still has to be a focus though.

Assume Neale is one and he has been the best player in the comp this year by a distance.

  • 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

  • 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.
