Is it wrong to assume that;

•May and Lever can control the defence

• Salem and Hunt can take advantage of the new man on the mark rule when rebounding

•We don’t get shown up for pace

• We don’t turn it over constantly 

•  Petracca and Oliver dominate the clearances to advantage, and push forward to hit the scoreboard 

• Someone unbeknown to us can play a useful role and the ‘other wing’

• Gawn / TMac / Jacko / Fritta / Kossy can combine for 15 goals

In a wave of emotions I’ve seen us win, lose and win this game again. 
 

The leaders need to set the tone and control the tempo.

    I’ll be stuck in Canberra, glued to the TV and dressed in my full game day outfit.  I’ll be cheering along with you folks at the G, and belting out the words of the Grand Old Flag with you after the final siren (I wonder what the new neighbours will think!).  Dees by 5 or 6 goals!

    Perfect day for footy, looking forward to having a few beers at the G and hoping for a good win!  Go Dees!!!!

    Not expecting to watch much of the game, might only last 20 minutes in our seat but taking the opportunity to jump on the train and get out of the house for an adventure. Got a decent seat on Level 2 as well.

    Lots of snacks and a fully charged phone and the YouTube app ?

    One for the historians. When was the last time we beat the same side twice in one day?

    The boys will beat Freo this afternoon and the girls will beat them tonight.

    The women play tomorrow night 

     

    Rain is just beginning to fall here in the northern suburbs, expecting a hard fought contest at the 'G" with the Demons to prevail.

    We know our backline is solid.

    Can we kick a winning score?

    Action Jackson to srand tall with 3 and Fritta a winning bag of 5.

    Good luck, we are taking a 7 month baby, at least she can’t walk. Take heaps of snacks, have lots of patience and enjoy the atmosphere, you will have a great time. ❤️?

    Well I do have a slight distance issue as well in terms of getting to the 'G. In fact out of interest I just checked out maps to see how far from home to the 'G it is: 666km! That has to be some sort of an omen...of what I am not sure.

    Helicopter?

    To be fair to our forward line, we did not have any of the footy against the dogs, so it’s rough to judge them based on that.

    Not to pump pressure on a 19/20 year old, but I feel like Pickett is going to be massively important for us this year. He had so many little half chances last year, but seemed to have a lot of posters or near misses. Reports are he is primed for a big year.

    here we are. 

    game time. 

    premiership points time. 

    The roller coaster begins...

    Come on Dees!!

     

     

    Good blend of experience and youth. 

    I was thinking about our end-to-end lines i.e from FB to FF, as it’s our ability to connect (and defend) along these lines that we’ve been working on, and if we can get right will see us rise. 
    Expect Maxy will play forward a lot, roaming up when balls in our defence, with our smalls setting up around and working off him, and the contested space around him. 
    Feeling confident that we’ve got the approach, age, speed/endurance, and motivation to win today, and as players return evolve into a powerful unit as the season progresses.

    as I was called recently in regard to my MFC thoughts I’m “bravely optimistic “.

    Despite his epic season last year Petracca has never had a 30 disposal game in his career.

    Today is the day!

    I'd prefer if he has his first 5 goal haul.

    I reckon we have had maybe only one or two bags of 5 by a player in 10 years.  Am I right? or am i just traumatised and my recollection is hazy as a result?

    Hogan I'm assuming both times.

    • 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.
