Defence and midfield are okay. Forward line is still a problem.

 

Last week was a win and a good win, not many wins are perfect. Not sure why people are trying to take the gloss of it just because the Saints got smashed by Essendon. Saints played a hell of a lot better against us than what they did yesterday. 

There’s no way Essendon are a 13 goal better side than them, it just shows you how quickly the game can change week to week. Port and Saints both got smashed yesterday but for different reasons. Port tried hard but were just outclassed by a unit I believe has the best foot skills in the league and they couldn’t break down the Eagles’ system. Blind Freddy could tell you the mindset displayed by the Saints was very poor.

I’ll be happy if we keep beating what’s in front of us, continue showing a level of maturity and team ethic that was on display last week and you go a long way in winning games. 

Kick straight and we will win by 80

Only thing I am worried about is how unpredictable the season has been so far.  Anything can happen.  Even Josh bruce kicked 10 goals

 

I think based upon what I have seen so far this year:

  • our method of defence and contest are good.
  • Our clearance work is not yet as good as it needs to be 
  • forward pressure and locking the ballin our half has been good
  • skills on transition is an area for improvement 
  • when we get two key forwards back, things will really accelerate.

i think if we can bank some ‘average’ wins, stay under the radar and keep the mindset positive and switched on, we can build across the season.  I think the swans will be ‘March premiers’ and will run out of gas throughout the year.

so for today, a workmanlike win with improved aspects of play across the day will be all I want.  30-45 points to feel relaxed, but I’ll still sing the song if we win by a point.

Maybe Max could spend most of his time up fwd


one of those no win games whhich we often lose

Hopefully a regulation injury free 30 point win... wouldn't that be nice for a change

They have to be hungry for some success.

Bring the pressure.

All our lines are good, May and lever, Viney and Oliver, Kossie and Tom.

It has been a while since I could say that.

No more words, time for action.

First to the ball, clean use and minimise the unforced errors.

Go Dees.

 

All good, but we must play with MONGREL.

We should win this but like others have mentioned I’m still not sold that I can trust us.....yet!

GWS were awful last week and are missing 2 important players from that team. We get them after they played in 30c heat, long haul flight back from Perth, 1 day less preparation than us.

What could possibly go wrong ?

GWS have two key players injured early in the game.....

Magnificent morning here in Canberra. I'm wondering the same thing re beers. My sister and her family are on the road on their way here. Their eta is 1pm...I might check to make sure the beers are drinkable around noon.

Went for a ride this morning to work off some pre-match nerves, it really is a superb autumn day.

 

Trying uoad a photo and keep getting a server error code: -200 whatever that means.

 For anyone who thought the game was at 7 10 PM (yeah me) its actually at 6 10 as daylight savings ended.   One less hour to wait for the game start.  :)

Midday seems respectable to me

Hopefully giants rock up at half time.

GWS list doesn’t worry me anymore. Our midfields match up but either end of the ground we look much stronger. The only way we lose this is we don’t turn up to play. GWS by 187 points.

Fritsch 3.4

T McDonald 4.5

Petracca 2.4

 

These three fellas must start converting

Unfamiliar ground isnt going to help unfortunately but you would think they have been taking shots at goal ALL week.2


Not sure to make of GWS.  Looked good against the Swans in the pre-season, then have been pretty ordinary once the real season started.  Still have some serious star power so I don't think it'll be a walk in the park.

Did Melb fly up this morning or last night with a dreadful  24 hour wait.

Its a quick flight. Some players would spend more time cramped up in their cars in Melb traffic jams.

I would have flown up mid morning.

Pretty sure it was yesterday afternoon.  Max said in the video of support they sent to the AFLW side that they'd be watching in the airport.  That match was yesterday arvo.

  • 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.
