News is slow this time of year so I thought this could make an interesting thread.

I'll start;

Joel Smith is already a handy defender, particularly in 1 v 1's, and will develop into a really good lock down KPB

 

Not sure it’s ‘unpopular’ but Petracca’s breakout year was purely positional change not fitness

It's not that it's unpopular, he just can't play, he has no idea how to play football

Edited by don't make me angry


Spargo would be more highly rated by Dees fans if he didn't look like the kid who always got picked on in school.

Should have kept Oscar McDonald.

Gawny is a great footballer, even better bloke, should not be captain.

 

Tom Scully has been unfairly maligned by the Dees faithful for long enough. I think it’s time to forgive and forget!

He had big first quarters on ball then was done by half time in previous years. The shorter quarters helped, but the fitness was more about him doing it in the midfield for longer - and earning the coaches trust to do so.

Jones was meant to be the right man to captain until he wasn’t. Viney the same. Gawn even more so. I feel like it’s May at the moment.

Either the captaincy is cursed or there’s not the right leaders and culture at the club to get people to elevate themselves.

Cotchin completely changed his playing style and leadership. Hopefully Gawn can do the same.

Oscar McDonald was good. 

Captains at Melbourne are constantly undermined by a culture (emanating from the supporters most of all) that is constantly looking for magic beans rather than commitment and hard work.

Just to be clear. I saw DZ’s original post about Joel Smith being a decent defender so I’ve assumed this is an ironic thread.

Paul Roos let us down.

Left with the job not even half done.

Made too many short term moves. Wasted two years with an awful one way defensive game plan that didn’t provide any value when Goodwin took over with a modern attacking game plan. This was the first year we’ve strived to both attack and defend at the same time.

Also left Goodwin to deal with Watts and Hogan when they should’ve been his number 1 priorities. 

The club didn’t secure the right CEO and didn’t get an experienced head of footy. 
 

The list build switched far too quick in to trying to plug holes rather than trying to add talent. Glen Bartlett can talk all he likes about the list management strategy but I don’t believe there really is one.

Haha yeah no worries, to be honest my reply is the same no matter if you were being ironic or serious

Josh Mahoney has an unhealthy habit of being bent over after the footy season finishes.

Pert had really taken over from PJ and pushed us further ahead. 
 

Vanders not only makes his team mates “walk taller” he is damaging with the ball in hand.

The supporters are not to blame for the trials and tribulations of the footy team.

Whoo!

How about unbeatable one on one and arguably  our best player for the last 50 years along with R.Flower?


Weideman will have a breakout year.

AvB and Melksham were gifted games last year, both should've been dropped several times and seemed to be played on form in previous years rather than in season form/merit. 

 

Id still take Watts with the number 1 pick.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
