In the football tipping.    Did anyone pick. Swans and Bombers to both win, and relatively easily as well, 

All our games need to be played as danger games    No easy wins.  Go hard or go home !

I have noticed that over recent years, when a team loses to Melbourne, they seem to go on a losing streak for a couple of games.

It goes waaaaay back, actually.  It's almost as uncanny as Melbourne disproportionately playing sides with new coaches.

We outright broke the will of a few teams back in the 2004-2006 run.  Very strange stuff - we would play teams which were in the eight when they were our opponents but then by the end of the H/A season they wouldn't count as beating a top-8 opponent when everyone was prognosticating about finals.

Still... St Kilda... this is wildly bad. Maybe a few players read the Rod Owen article pre-game and wondered exactly what all last week's proud culture talk was really worth?

Gee we only beat the saints by 3 goals. Essendon are up by 10, so what does that say about us? Surely essendon aren't that great. They have all these injuries and are flying. 

The saints have just gone backwards. I mean they were a top 8 side who won a final and are getting thrashed by a basket case team. 

Says we didn’t kick straight. Essendon and us had the same amount of shots as of right now. 


Just about every team has players kicking bags except us

Is it too much to ask of Fritsch, T mac, Trac or anyone to kick 6+ tomorrow?

Edited by Pickett2Jackson

How’d the Saints get 4 games in a row at Marvel?

I expect to see some serious back pedaling in the media this week. A lot of commentators talked up st kilda.

We really should target a recruit to do that!  ??  (just having a laugh)

But seriously, yes, please, can someone properly get a hold of it for us soon.  That's where the real fun smashings start.

I reckon this year is just as much about defence and we are lucky enough to have a rock solid defensive unit at the moment. No way Essendon waltz through and score against us like they did today.

Don't worry. The goals will flow once BB and/or the Weid return.

Nah, I heard one of them already saying they've got players out. Yeah, two ruckmen. Crouch played today and had little impact. Old man Hannebery? Laughable. People need to get serious here. St Kilda are all system. They don't really have elite talent, certainly not under 25. Maybe King in time, but he's still developing. If they're off at all, St Kilda get beaten.

I hope you realise OD that the only reason we allowed you back into the state was because of the positive comments you made while you were in banana land.

Please do not revert back to the old negative you or you might find yourself being deported.

You must be confusing me with someone else NC.

I will say that towards us North fans had a ridiculous amount of arrogance for a team that has achieved exactly nothing in the last 20 years. 

Only 20?

Those academy players are really a gift to the Swans over the last few years and even though he hasn’t played yet,  Jamara UH the number 1 draft pick  given to a finals side last year is another gift. 

It’s a blight on the game. I also think the father son has to be further dialled back in if not eradicated entirely - yes it’s not a popular view and I get that there is a bit of romanticism about the tradition. But we will have another pick 1 go to a non wooden spooner this year and in the interest of ensuring an equal competition - is counter intuitive.

They had a successful 90’s (though could argue not as successful as it should’ve been with the team they had). 

Since then they’ve been a team that’s always sat middle table trying to push for finals but never doing much more, too afraid to bottom out. Now they have and reaped what they’ve sowed for the last decade. Even that run of wins they had a few years back were clearly flukes against lowly opposition, we were awful and only just lost to them (BBB got some of the softest free kicks ever that day). 


WC looking ominous......Port at sea...


Eagles are red hot (against a well credentialled outfit)

Still excellent viewing even though the game has blown out

As a measurement, we're going to have to be rather good to match up against this sort of standard!

Port are probably wondering what's hit them

3 training drills in one day. 
 

How I’d love to be this relaxed when we play. 

 

Port are not reading the bounce of the Ball off the turf, that and their midfield are not touching the ball at all

If we are slightly off against one of the better teams this season it’s going to be painful viewing.

  • 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

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
