I'm expecting the "Essendon have gone past us" post any minute now. They're beating them by 50 points to half time whereas as we could over mange the 18 point win to full time.

Actually, when i put it like that. I think Essendon have gone past us.

Saints were playing bruise free footy, 1 tackle in the first 20 minutes of the game, 1 tackle in the first 10 or 15 minutes of the 2nd q. Essendons kids were able to run rings around them, was like a training drill. Something not right down at Moorabbin..

The "Academy". An entire state to draft from with an AFL funded coaching system and a guarantee of the best players from the most populous state in the country.

 

 

This is like when 6-6-6 was introduced - the teams that adapted and practiced their game plan changes for the new rules (man on the mark, fewer interchanges and kick-in marker set further back) will reap the rewards with very good early wins. 

It will take time for teams that haven't adapted game plans, to catch up by which time their season may be lost.  Most of last year's finalists look to be in the slow to adapt category.  Bulldgos, Swans, Adelaide Eagles and Demons seem to have adapted well.  Good opportunity for us to bank a few more early wins before competitors catch up.

 

Some of those academy kids have been in the Swans system since they started high school. Makes sense that they can hit the ground running.

Swans have always been good at developing players.

Our youngsters are developing just fine. Sparrow and Jordon have been very steady for us. Spargo maturing nicely. Rivers will be a gun. Likewise LJ. Wouldn't swap Kossie Pickett for any of theirs. 

Bizarre round. The positive thing for the demons is that our defence is very good. Hopefully that will stop teams getting a run on us and we can grind teams down with behinds ?

A bit like 2018, if we can avoid any big blowouts this year our % could be worth 4 points in itself come round 23.

Hopefully, it lulls Ess into a false sense of security and a belief that they have a great game plan.  They have no defence and strong defence is what will define games this season.  They are still a bottom six side..

The next three games should bring them back down to earth:  Swans, Lions, Pies.  With a bit of luck they will be 1W:5L

Carlton and Fremantle is an interesting game today.    Blues starting 0-3 would be a disaster for them after they have been pumped up all summer by the media and their fans.  They have had some luck though with Fyfe out today for the Dockers. 

Blues have bought Eddie Betts back... seems like a sign of desperation.

A Fyfeless Dockers to win this one to the tune of 11 points

Carlton doing it easy against poor opposition. Take freo out of perth and you have a side that is shizen. Be wary of our 2 wins this season.

Or Logue, Pearce, Hambling, Lobb, Banfield, Hill and others.

Looking like we’ll be one of the remaining three unbeaten teams by the end of the evening. Don’t remember when that happened last.

You just know they'll have us sweating out the game right to the end.

Oscar McDonald has had a dramatic fall from grace since rnd 1. 

not really? he's been sub every week and they haven't had an injury to require activating him, thats just the luck of the gig no fault of his own

That could be the case, but in both games it was our poor conversion that made the games look close, not our structure and effort.  If we kicked straight the results would have been similar. 

Another garbage game, watching Essendon have a big win and now possibly Carlton just reminds me of how much I despise both teams.

But but but he really showed “us” in his round 1 cameo... 

 

Hawks vs Cats today.

Would be happy to see Hawks win just to watch Scott fume as the go 1W -2L and their season start to wobble.  But then they will come out with all guns blazing next week to make amends.  I reckon we can match their fury next week so will be barracking for Hawks.

Absolutely want the Hawks to win.  They are in with a big chance.

  • 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.
