VDB fractured eye socket apparently.

Bloody he'll, he probably did that in the first quarter with a head clash. Tough as.

    Probably the most frustrating and aggravating 50 point win I've ever watched. Adelaide are a truly horrible football team right now, they just cannot kick a score. Main Dees takeaways for me:

    -Steven May another fantastic game. Made Tex look like a local reserves player.

    -Clayton Oliver escaping the packs and thinking a little more with the ball was fantastic.

    -Brayshaw should only ever play on ball. This makes it hard to balance the midfield but that's what the coaches are paid the big bucks for.

    -Jackson was clearly worrying ROB with his jumping ability. Good positioning up forward too.

    -Neither Bennell or ANB impacted up forward. Small forward positions are still well up for grabs.

    Gawn was injured he has a Lat\shoulder problem. I think he should be rested this week.

    Here is how bad Tex is right now - I'd rather Tommy Mac than him.

    He is a squib of the highest order.

    Anyone notice the way Jackson does those cute over the shoulder handballs into space? Whens the last time you've seen a ruckman look so fluid and mobile the way he does. 

    No wonder why we rated him so highly. He's an extra midfielder everytime we play him in the ruck. Will be elite, watch this space.

    Three quarters of puss and a last quarter of sexy time.

    Certainly wasn’t a great team effort but some great individual games. Oliver incredible. Viney all heart. May was solid all game and just as importantly gives us grunt.

    Brayshaw finally showing a few signs that he can get back something resembling form.

    Jackson yet again played a smart game down forward. Those having a crack at him aren’t paying attention. Competing strongly in the air and playing a selfless game for the other forwards.

    The skills are still a huge issue, but by the end of the game it was a 50 point win. It took a massive detour but it was job done.

    Gawn just said on fox he has an injured shoulder near the top of his left shoulder but can play through it. 
     

    Would rest him to be safe.

    tells us nothing really but we were good in patches. we are better than we were last week, but not as good as the scoreline suggests tonight. Wins over Roos and Pies and I'll eat humble pie. Until then all we did tonight was bully a poor team.

    Tomlinson back was fantastic. Clearly he hadn't played there much but hes a big body and can kick. His run was great as well. I'd love to see Goody persevere with him there. So much better than Oscar. And could play on tall or smalls

    Hey Jaded, you asked about Clarry's hair. 

    The problem with that is that Salem gave Clarry his haircut. 

    Salem should stick to his day job. A hairdresser he ain't !!!!

    Oliver when kicking the ball is a far better player.

    Disagree. His foot skills are a liability

    A little sad to Max say he might not play next week. If he needs a break, give it to him though. 
     

    ANB will be suspended, but Lockhart should be ok. 
     

    Vanders is injured again? Max mentioned a broken arm of some sort? He looked proppy to me.

    No way. Goldstein will tear us apart on a game we have to win

    A lot of players have left Adelaide on questionable terms over the past few years...

    Speaks volumes that he's still there and rolling out that [censored]

    Should have rested him for this game.

    Now he's playing injured on a 4 day break against Goldstein in a harder to win game.

    This was one of those captain's calls that can backfire.

    A strong finish made it a convincing win.

    Some of the worst umpiring I have ever seen.

    A real coming of age game from Jackson and a gutsy effort from a clearly unfit Max. Let's take the 4 points and see where can go from here.

    PS the fox commentary was equally as bad as the umpiring 

    PPS Clayton Oliver FMD !!!!

    The umps clearly got on the Crows at $3 just like I did. That umpiring was worse than anything I've seen in WA over the years, land of the home cooked umpiring.

    I reckon Weid is coming on really well. Pretty unconvincing win for me even for 50 pts - it was really just the last quarter the first 3 quarters were pretty rubbish except for Viney and Oliver.

      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.
