Lever looking terrific. Seems to have put on some bulk too.

His first quarter was dreadful. 3 turnovers in a row. Did lift a lot in the secondย 

ย 

One thing I'm happy with is the new manning the mark rule doesn't seem to be an issue.

Originally I was annoyed as it was another rule change for the sake of it, but it has definitely increased the flow of the game.

Still dislike Hocking though....

ย 

What the hell is wrong with you people we are playing the premiers and are only down by 7 points.

    And one more thing - Harmes everywhere running his [censored] off - he's in our best three so far today - ignore other commentators.

    Not sure about best three, but he has been pretty good. As you say working hard and created a goal from nowhere with his effort and then good kick to Jones.

    Intersting that he is on ball.

    Really, you'd have to say if he can't get a game as a mid he doesn't have a spot given how out of sorts he looks down back.

    I can see how the rule allows for speeding up and opening up the game. My only concern is that I fear it will cost us a game at some point.

    Happy with Spargo keeping his feet, much stronger. happy with Harmes Lever and Tommy. not happy with Jones missing easy marking targets across ground. Too many observers only watching us, we arenโ€™t too bad.

    Fromย a very small sample, we seem to be adding an additional short link-kick with this new rule. Ie two smaller kicks to get back in the corridor instead of one slightly longer kick. I think that is smart given our turnover historyย 

    ย 

    I think we can see a clear change in game plan. Weย are looking to go into the corridor far more than previous years. Whilst our disposal has been a bit off at times creating turnovers, it looks greatย when it comes off.

    If we can get a bit cleaner I think this bodes real well with our pace off the half back and wing.

    There ain't much to excited about. unfortunately. Jordon OK. Lever and May not bad.ย 

    Salem, Oliver and Petracca haven'tย  touched it. Gawn and Harmes turn it over.ย

    Trac and Oliver in the bounce and we win the clearance, then shot on goal.ย Iโ€™m truly shocked.ย

    We are not over using the ball and seem to be going quite direct.

    A few bombs into to forward line.

    Would like to see us change the angles as we move through the midfield.

    We are taking a few marks.

    The smalls are finding space.

    Too easy for Richmond as they come out of our forward area..

    the premiers missing four of their best side too -ย Rioli, Prestia, Lambert, Houli

    all injured or being rested? i know prestia has had hamstring issues this preseason, but no idea re others

    we're seven of our best 22 down -ย Melksham, Hibberd, Viney, Brayshaw, Brown, Weideman, Pickett

    and we're now a solitary point down after max gets a free and converts from 50


    Gawn starringย today.

    Ripper mark and set shot for his second. Has taken plenty of goal saving marks too.

    Liking the look of Chandler. Held his own in a two on one, won the free kick, and nailed the pass to Fritsch in the pocket.

    If JFK had Fritschโ€™s hair heโ€™d still be with us.ย

    Could play round 1 based on today.

    Somewhere weโ€™ve hit the front with a Fritta set shot.

    • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
