So here’s hoping that there are no incorrect late umpiring decisions affecting the result

unless they favor us ?

    I think Ratten has them playing in a Richmond-esque team way, we got an unexpected win over them that almost stuffed their season last year but hand on heart I think they’ve gone past us. Doesn’t mean we won’t win but we have to bring our best to get a positive result today. 

    I’m sure they’ve done their homework and worked out that they can’t be indiscriminate with their forward entries, we won last week (and last year) largely off of good work from May and Lever. 

    Likewise I’m also hoping that our clearances will kick back into 2018-like gear. 

    I’d really love to say I feel confident but I don’t.

    We will have a clearer picture of our boys tonight than last weeks game me thinks.

    Bouyed by JVs inclusion.

    If Tmac can play like he did last week and Jackson plays more than 2 good qrts we are a good chance. Gawn to do more around the ground.

    Our backline is as good as it gets with even Tomlison playing well.

    Heres hoping Trac breaks out along with Kozzie and Langdon blitzs like he did last year. Jordan to play even better.

    Spargo to surprise all with a bag of 4.

    Dees by the same ammount.

    Enjoy.

    Despite our win last year in Alice Springs, I’m just worried, like many, that it’s not a great match up for us with the speed at which they move the ball.

    We can win, but it will require a big midfield improvement.

    Saints defence does look gettable. It would be great to see one of TMac, Fritsch, or maybe even Jackson kick a few.

    And I said this before last week, but I think Pickett is one of our most important players. He adds something completely different, and could win a game if he gets it 15/20 times.

    Game day.  Time to get a little expectant. The saints most times seem to have our measure.   It has been a long time since I just expected to beat the saints.

    back as far as Moorabbin. Standing in the outer cheering when we scored and a little old lady kept hitting me on the head with her umbrella.  It’s hard to forget.

    good luck to us all tonight,

    Hope Goodwin has a plan. Last year he didn't and luckily they missed some easy ones giving us a one point win.

    We're two decent forwards short of a working team.

    A win would be a pleasant surprise

    Looking forward to this one, if only to get a gauge on whether we are any good or not.  Last week really told us nothing IMO..

    Strangely confident we will relish the fast surface at Marvel, and run over the Saints in 2nd half.  May/Lever to again dominate.  Oliver/Petracca to run wild.  Tmac and Fritsch all to hit the scoreboard.  Kossie scintillates and kicks 3 to get fans super excited.   JJ backs up with another good game.   Lots of cameos from the rest.   We win the clearances and Saints look lost for answers.

    Demons by 25+

    We should have more run in the legs, Saints one less day to rest and played in heavy conditions.  Expect to finish off quarters strong, Go Demons!!!

    I’m really looking forward to this the game, but as jumpy as a ‘cat on a hot tin roof’ about the result.  We will need to clean up our clearance from stoppage work to stay with them, but if we can do that, our fitness, and their shorter preparation after a tougher game last week, might see us get over them in the last. With fingers firmly crossed, Dees by seven points.

    Just want to see manic forward pressure all night, don’t let them get out easy and we’ll go a long way towards winning this one.

    Wonder if there'll be a late out for the Saints?  Big market move towards us this morning.

    Bedtime here now. I’ll be watching at breakfast time. I’m hoping for a full team effort but I’m worried about their big forwards (Membrey loves playing us) and their quick, little guys.  Go Demons!

    I'm guessing the concert under the grass at Etihad Stadium is going to feel very heavy in the last quarter for one of these teams.

    Not too confident. We were rusty and are a few weeks off gelling I reckon. A close loss then we’ll beat GWS next week

    No reason we can’t win this one: the Saints are a good side but they aren’t Richmond level good

    Clearly Tmac us a true confidence player.

    Heres hoping last weeks game gives him the momentum to dominate again. It was the Tom form last game that got us close to a gf.

    Heres hoping.

    • 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.

      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.

      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.
