I've got a personal training session from 5:30 so will have to listen later. I have a feeling though that the Saints will come out firing for Spud's game. In a professional sport, there probably shouldn't be a need to find extra motivation, but I have a spooky feeling that this will be the case. Just call it intuition.

Maybe we will come out firing like we did for Tom Hafeys tribute game.

We can pay respects to Spud too....  Angus is even dating his daughter I believe.

Spud was a great guy.

Hopefully we’ve got Langdon playing on the same wing as Brad Hill. That will be good to watch

Will be a cracker. Langdon has so far proved many of us wrong that said we should've targeted Hill. So far.

To be fair, he did Improve it last year right around the time of the "red myst" fox footy critiques.

there’s big difference in body shape here. Gawn hasn’t got the weight of Hawkins to do that at stoppages. The amount of times hawkins shoves the rucks in the bk at throw ins and gets away with it astonishes me. The geelong rucking subrule ie it’s in the back unless a. it’s a geelong player at kardinia park or b. it’s hawkins 

Max actually weighs 108kg v Hawkins 101kg

Sadly, true. The AFL has lost control of the rules it implements. This is no level playing ground, just an avenue for cash.

    Hill doesn't have langdons engine. I expect him to do well as our link player. And as usual about 10m in the clear

    Saints supporters are a weird bunch. They look like the types to either be doing lines of cocaine off a toilet at Revolver at 3am on a Wednesday, or to own a Cash Converters along the Nepean Highway.

    I think we're fast enough just don't think we kick the footy well enough. You're fast enough if you can move the ball efficiently and effectively.

    We’ll rip the Aints a new one and that kid King will wish he’d stuck to basketball when May gets through with him.

    And yes......... I’ve got money on us. ( Well a good bottle of Shiraz actually!)

    I can't remember the last time I put money on us. I always bet on the other team and am happy to lose the money to bag the 4 points. Win Win. C'mon Dees take my money.

    No and the Saints will run us off our feet and we will be out coached (not for the first time) this season  

    That’s my positive take on tonight’s match

    Ah, that needs to be changed back to 'Apathy' in reference to my Uncle Humphrey's eponymous song.

    I think someone had a go at me for that being listed as one of my interests, so I changed it to 'boundless optimism'. Rest assured it has now been changed to it's original status.

    I do not have the slightest clue why, but Im excited and confident about this game.

    All will be revealed.

    Go you good Demons.


    Tipping us tonight! 

    Thinking Tmac will have a good day (as long as he doesn't do that over the top of th tackler with the ball move) and our mids will be on top

    Me too - but my gut tells me that the Saints will jump us early, we’ll come back, but end up losing by about 20.

     

    Let’s hope my guts are crook!

    • 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.
