I have to agree. As I said, I didn't like him, but the highlights stand!

 

He could play. But he took out too many players behind the ball

I was there the day he punched Stephen Smith and Peter Giles

Never Forget it. His record is tainted, or should be

I was there on both those occasions, and can only agree... That is why my acknowledgement of his ability has cred.

I saw the Smith one. And who could forget Bruns. Today those charges may have stuck, and that would have been the end of him

well, i thoroughly enjoyed that

hard not to look on with incredibly envy

Agreed,

Hard fought game but instead of the thread being about a great game a troll comments about the 2009 draft and others still wallowing in self pity chime in. Ffs get over it it's 11 years ago.

As for the game after poor first halfs Grimes, Broad and Balta all improved.  Tigers played Nankervis behind the ball in the 3rd quarter and Balta moved forward. Others are correct in the assessment of Dusty just putting his head over the ball and not looking for frees.

Standard set for us to chase

Best 

Tigers -Dusty, Edwards, Short, Graham, Cotchin

Cats - Duncan, Guthrie, Stewart, Menagola

Melbourne have to get mentally tough and the way to do it ???????   A preseason with the Tigers is the answer.

 

1 Dees need to do an SAS preseason 

 

2 Goodwin needs to watch and strategically spend 100 man hours working out this game

 

3 Tigers are completely beatable (they bleed) but clubs are too lazy to figure it out.  Watch how they get the footy to Short and Edwards to link through.  They are excellent kicks and had about 15 forward 50 entries tonight. 

 

i would've taken Buddy before Ablett and oretty comfortably. midfielders grow on trees

How mature are the Tigers compared to our guys.

Tigers - all the players, squad coaches , support staff sing the song. 

Demons - sing the song and miss 3 players including the 6’10 captain. 
 

Footy is about IQ and making the right decisions

Yep and they waited for noah balta to finish his interview before they all walked off the field. Melbourne players are stupid

Watching yet another club dynasty 3 flags 4 years ... 56 strong & still waiting, yet another club gone past 12 flags

I'll stick with ablett thanks, he also managed to win a brownlow in a bottom side, dusty has been playing in a good side for the majority of his career

Robbie Flower was better than him.

zero Brownlows

zero flags

zero Norm Smiths

After watching that just not buying CHF as our greatest area of need.

Lynch and Riewoldt both got involved after half time, they were barely sighted in the first half. I’d say they were the two that got involved and provided the structure to steady the ship.

Geelong will rue that opportunity for a long time, they were very close to having that game sewn up in the second quarter, just squandered their shots on goal

Sure there is an exception or two, but they like each other.

I could have detailed more but refereing to Brown CHF as being our greatest need as in recruiting. Finals record 7 games, 9 goals, average of 8 disposals.

I always feel empty after a GF. Not because I'm thinking one of my passions/interests is over for 6 months and there is now a void (Because I'll do something else), but because it makes me question why I even f...ing bother with it at all, watching these Richmond gooses carrying on. 

And then like clockwork, I'll be back again next year with that absurd hope that it could be our year.

Completely relate JD . . . although my emptiness is driven by the realisation, almost every year, that we are miles away from the standard required to win premierships. 

And the Tigers pay the players the same $$$ in salary cap as us, and yet some here defend our recruiters and list managers. It is time full a full and uncomprimising review of how we value players.

Look at Gill’s head

It’s not well

He looked sh*thous% didn't he?

We are miles away from winning a flag...we have holes in our list witch we can never fix eg no gun forwards & our last one was Neitz who retired in 08! Can’t inc Hogan as hardly played & Tom Mac had one flukey year,  we also have culture & leadership issues which raised their ugly heads throughout the season and continue to do so.

  • 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.
