I just want to see Port destroy the bummers and just annoy that whole club and there fans more. 

Fantasia to kick 6 goals would be nice also.

    Cats are a bit vulnerable too ... Lions tomorrow night with Danger & Cameron out and then they are up against the plucky Hawks and a hungry Demons outfit (or at least we had better be hungry!)

    Blues to make the 8? No chance. Still too many duds on that list.

    I saw a serious lack of heart in the final quarter.  Williams the golden recruit gave a couple of putrid defensive efforts and there were plenty of others just jogging along behind their men instead of gut running and trying to impact the contest.  Plus their ball movement fell apart when they got tired and they reverted to the long bomb and hope someone marks it.

    And let's hope Oliver doesn't get any ideas about wanting to join that rabble next season.

    That ‘goal’ he kicked from the boundary hit the post.

    Looked like it.

    Both his and gibbons goal should have been chalked off

    Ben could be a real handful if the forward lines remain as open as what we've seen tonight

    Is he still 5 or 6 weeks off or is it more or less than that time frame?

    As it stands I'd have Gawn & LJ rotating deep forward with T-Mac roaming far and wide

    We need to stretch opposition defences with our height (that evaluation is based on the attacking footy becoming the norm with less congested forward lines)

    The timeframe for BB's return seems to creep up with each injury update. At the moment he's listed to return in dreaded 4-6 weeks bracket so he may not be match fit when we play them in round 9.

    The Weid is listed at 2-4 so he should be up and running. I reckon he’ll be vying with TMac for a spot in the team given LJ is ruck relief for Gawny. If TMac continues to play like he did against Freo he’ll be hard to dislodge.

    A lot depends on T-Mac but if we make him a stationary target up forward we are asking for trouble ... he needs a roaming commission even if that means he gets as far out as the wing (on occasions)

    Fritsch needs to continue to stand up whilst LJ,  Gawn & Petracca (as well as the smalls) need to play their roles

    We won't win games against the good teams unless our forward line functions well. 

    And quick ball movement into our forward line is paramount

    For a crowd of 50k my TV observations were that the crowd was well dispersed around the ground so the algorithm worked well.

    Will be interesting to see how the often empty Medallion area is used for our Saturday night game

    We have to assume that our game on Saturday night will be played at high speed much like last nights game (especially at Docklands - fast deck)

    Ratten likes to coach that way anyway ... we need to match them and better them

    Calling it now, if the Cats lose tonight they wont play finals.

    They would be 0-2 and still have Danger and Cameron out a couple more weeks, and these home games are ones they'd have penclilled in even against a very good Lions team.

    In other words... GO LIONS!

    And a fair chance the ground will be dewy so the ball will be slippery.  Will affect both teams - its just who handles it better.

    ...unless they close the roof early in the evening before dew sets in.

    I don't think a shootout bodes well for us against the Saints

    On Footy Classifed this week Matthew Loyd noted the stat that teams that start the season 0 - 2 have only a 1 in 10 chance of playing finals.

    Thus blues are gone-ish. Cats in  trouble if they go down tonight. Dees are so far so good

    You may be right but our best chance remains if we move the ball into our forward line at rapid speed coupled with our forwards playing their role properly

    Even just being a visible target helps enormously so our forwards need to play in front as a minimum standard.

    That $50 I put on the Cats not making finals is looking good 

    although I’m not a big believer in those stats. It’s 1 in 10 as the majority of teams who lose the first two games are poor teams that go on to lose many more games. The 1 in 10 are the good teams who happened to lose the first two

    I reckon that's a good bet DD, plus that that B has been coaching there too long as well. Time for a bit of self scratching in Catland

    • 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.
