Yep gave pies 2 direct goals and fumbles alot. 

Doesn't like body contact much I don't think 

Couple of coach killers but still played part in team defence.

Tomlinson reminds me of a Neeld-era player. Can't see it.

Agree but has a role to play. It’s not on the wing.  Can fit in at CHB imo

Im hoping he gets better with some continuity because he wasn't like that at Adelaide, at he's best he was backing into contests and taking intercept marks, still young enough to build on, although we payed through the roof for him

He doesnt like front on contact, not many players do, but he will avoid it. He is a handy third tall. Not much more or less.

I would give him a whole preseason of boxing, has to learn to play dirty, you can't have defenders who are scared to get hurt in big finals. I appreciate he may be a great 3rd tall, intercepter, but he can still learn to hold he's own in a one on one.


I’ve seen Lever commit to a number of courageous acts through the last few weeks, even in the Port debacle.. so I think it’s a bit unfair to say he shirks contact.

Everyone can have off games, think he’s coming along nicely.

Brayshaw - an important connector

Salem - possessions finally effective 

Langdon - just keeps giving

Petracca - excellent, not elite

Oliver - prolific and vital

May - a solid rock

Fritsch - better second half

Viney - normal bullocking performance 

Hibberd - continued solid form

Preuss - was not disgraced

Melksham - took his chances

Lockhart - brave and smart

vandenBerg - glad he’s ours

Jones - cunning but slow 

Weideman  - making an impact

Harmes - disciplined team first

Spargo - great first half

Tomlinson - was rarely sighted

Sparrow - better each game

McDonald - fumbly but improving 

Lever - not his best

Pickett - couldn’t get going 

Spot on Joeboy however I would have put in for Tomlinson - "Did his job". Was at ground and his defensive positioning was good blocking paths where the Pies wanted to go. Plenty of defensive punches in the packs.

Wouldn’t listen to Garry Lyon to much, we have to win by over a hundred points for him to give us any credit 

the time when Gary was going off and giving it to Lever it was actually Hibberd that gave away the holding free kick. He blamed the wrong Mustachio brother

No one saying he shirks contests.


@praha - re: Tomlinson.  He certainly hasn't set the world alight since coming here, but I feel for him a bit.  Was recruited to play on the wing, which we did for a few rounds before we forced him into a back up ruck role.  Got dropped, a bit unfairly if you ask me but to each their own, and has then been brought back into the side as a key defender.  

Poor bloke hasn't had the opportunity to settle into a role yet.  I haven't seen him make any glaring errors and he was part of a back six that dominated last night, so I'm happy to give him more time.

Joeboy - good summary this week!

Petracca    The Big Show .

Clarry          Is The Architect

Brayshaw   Form of 2018

Viney          lead us well

VDB           The hard edge

Langdon   The great recruit

Preuss       Sat on Grundy.

Spargo      Played best game

Sparrow     Boy can play

Salem       Held his own

May           Solid as always

Jones       Played his role

Lockhart  Was very serviceable.

Lever        slightly down today

The rest   All pitched in.

He was the number 1 intercept marking player in the comp and had just played in a GF when we got him so of course we payed alot. 

It's gonna pay off though, our backline is the best its ever been

  • 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.
