Only watched the last 10 minutes but Jackson must have been eating steaks for breakfast, steaks for lunch and steaks for dinner since the season ended.

Beat the team who have won 3 of the last 4 premierships.
Demon flag imminent.


Albeit a praccy game, pretty good hit out in the end. Great to knock off the tiggies no matter what the stakes, and a few positives to take out of it.

- Chandler showed a bunch

- Oliver showing he is still a class above

- Older heads showing they've still got more to give, much to the chagrin of many demonlanders

- Playing out the game and putting some pressure inside f50 when game was in the balance late

All in all a pretty great friday morning. Bring on round 1, Yum yum yum

I liked the bit where the score went over 90 points.ย 
ย 

Lever, Trac, Oliver, Spagbol, Chandler all quite good.ย 
ย 

Decent hit out with no injuries, canโ€™t ask for much more.ย 

ย 

Couldn't watch heaps but when i did get a chance to look and see, there was some great communication from the mids and the ruckman. More than a couple of clean takes and disposals without too much pressure, including a couple of breakaway opportunities, which is good to see.

Great to see Clarry sprinting clear and kicking long

Pretty happy with that.ย  In particular the skills looked surprisingly solid for the start of the season.ย  Normally they'd be all over the place at this stage.ย 

Also very nice to see some of the younger guys getting game time.ย  We have some very neat ball-users and decision-makers coming through.ย 

Iโ€™ll take it, tigers especially for the first 3qtrs werenโ€™t going easy, pleased to see tmac and Jetta looked much better than last year, Chandler and James Jordan looked like they might get some games this year based on this

Continuing from previous game-day thread.

final term

1) Chandler given the all-clear to return and then snags one with a left-foot banana on the run. Hunt a key part of the transition goal. Chandler's three goals and tackle pressure will probably see him play round 1, subject to a solid effort against Dogs next week. We played four small up front and we still have Kossie to add to that group, so one will likely miss out Rd 1.

2) Tigers started playing kids - fresh legs versus inexperience so hard to say who had the bigger advantage.

3) We got a good run with umps - home game and no Tiger feral influencing decisions. Only bad call was when Chol got free on a highish spoil by Tomlinson.

Best three: 3) Gawn (easily), 2 Olly had a huge last quarter to snare this spot. 1) Lever - at least six intercept marks plus plenty of involvement down back. Trac good as well, but had horror 2nd term.

The truth is out there Scully.ย 

Good hit out. We looked pretty solid, structurally. Up forward, McDonaldย and Jackson contested pretty well against a really good defensive intercepting team. Plus we were solid in the air in defence, with Lever and May looking threatening in the air. Obviously we're trading some speed (Hunt, Rivers) in defence for defensive solidity, but given the pace of the game that seemed to be a risk worth taking at the moment. Up forward, having Chandler just made us look better. His speed and finishing gives a nice balance to our small forwards, with Spargo being clever and industrious and Kossie being a bit more of a high end talent.ย 

The new manning the mark rule played pretty well, as it encouraged teams to take risks and we got more even contests inside 50. It also looks like it will provide more opportunities to our hard running tall and medium forwards.

Guys I know it was only Richmond at near full strength but you can only beat whatโ€™s put in front of you.

Well, there was the mark to Baker that wasn't paid.ย  That was a bit of a shocker and Rivers was still having a go at the ump five minutes later.ย  Especially when the same ump paid a mark to Aarts shortly after where he never had control of the ball.ย 

Good win by the dees especially against an all full premiership side. Chandler a real surprise packet. Gawn, Lever and Petracca fantastic.

B: HUNT, MAY, LEVER

Good to see the old mistakes, turnovers etc disappear after half time. Solid effort against the reigning premiers

Don't read the gameday thread. I accidentally did after a long offseason butย immediately regretted it. It's anย awful place purely designed for people to let off steam whilst not flooding the main board. You could almost call it Demonland 'quarantine'.

  • 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.

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 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
