This is a top post except for Tmac comments.

9 marks on an atrocious day was suberb.

Not a knock on him but if he held the ones he had a decent grab at he could've taken 20.

Ed actually, so close enough.

Conditions have nothing to do with an ability to pressure and lay tackles. He laid two for the whole game. His lack of defensive pressure simply cannot justify a game in our system. Two tackles is more than he usually lays mind you.

Ed Salem Gawn Farr has a ring to it.

Did you notice how nearly every single player on the ground slumped to their haunches when the final siren went?

They worked and ran hard all day, which is a big tick for our fitness with these long quarters

Jake Lever’s performance reminded me of the late, great Sean Wight, with his anticipation and athletic attack.

Hard as a cats head the old Seanis.  Could play forward as a pinch hitter on odd occasions also.  Did he hit a pack hard and was often the 3rd man up around the ground gaining extra yardage at the ball ins

Demons are 10-1 to win the flag. 5th favourite

uh oh - the Lid is off!   


What was wrong with Jordon

4 disposals 5 tackles was he shadowing someone?

Poor game compared to previous 3

Great team win! What a start! If you’d have told me in January that we’d be 4-0 with no Brown, Weideman, Hibberd and Viney for a game I would’ve thought you were mad!

Incredible stuff! 
 

Also I was hearing a bit of ‘Melbourne haven’t beaten anyone yet’ on the radio this morning and I’m ok with that, keep the lid on. But there’s an interesting stat everyone seems to be missing, everyone Melbourne has beaten has beaten everyone the bulldogs have beaten.

Geelong beat Brisbane, Saints beat WC, GWS beat Collingwood, admittedly Freo haven’t played North yet, but I think we can all agree they WILL beat them. 
So the next time a radio host tells you how incredible the dogs are but Melbourne ‘haven’t beaten anyone yet’ maybe cheekily point this out? While keeping the lid on of course...

GO DEES!!!

 

Keep the lid on all season. Nothing is guaranteed in this caper. It’s a journey that will fluctuate from week to week.  Injuries, travel and form will influence our results. Enjoy the wins but don’t gloat. Wait for the media and non Melbourne supporters dismantle us after a few losses. Including our own whinging supporters who you can hear say “I told you so. “

Must say, the wins have done wonders for my mental health, mood and enjoyment of weekends. like coming out of a dark tunnel. 

At long last hope is transforming into belief.

50% TOG. He'll be rested this week you'd think.

In an interview before round 1, Max said that our players were “hurting” because they had let themselves and the supporters down by not making finals in 2020 .......... they were intent on redeeming themselves in 2021.  His statement was (quite reasonably) greeted around here with many comments along the lines of “we’ve heard it all before”, “talk is cheap” and “we want actions, not words”.

Well, I think in the first four rounds, we are starting to see strong evidence that Max is a man of his word, and our team is prepared to back him up.

So far, so good.

Dont mind at all if we only beat teams below us.

Will keep happening until we smash the dogs and then continue.

Yep....exhaustion. They certainly left nothing out there. It’s very hard to contain the excitement as supporters watching them work as one in the first month of the season.

As some one that works in the Geelong area... Thank you Dees!!! Thank you!

How was your day at work today G??


As the eternal pessimist I'm in unfamiliar territory right now.
Was very impressed with what I witnessed against Geelong.
Just gotta remember the season is a marathon and not a sprint and I'm also not very confident the season will play out without the covid thing rearing it's head again when the flu season sets in.
Anything could happen but we are building very nicely thanks very much.
Can see again the players have the eye of the tiger.
They know the pieces are in place, a settled backline, a contested beast of a midfield, blistering pace down the wings and a forward line while still spluttering still has a couple handy additions to come in.
If they can keep up what they produced yesterday we'll be right in the mix to go deep.

Hunt was 3 or 4 players back and had belief so was chasing hard. It was great to see

I thought that was almost Hunt’s best game for the club. He’s creating a great understanding with Langdon and the crowd always lifts when he puts the jets on. His chase down and spoil of Henry (I think) was incredible, especially as he directed the ball straight to Brayshaw. I’d love to see a clip of that, as I didn’t get to see the TV coverage.

I  went on the AFL web site and watch the game I don't know if this is a new feature that anybody can watch games?

In the past you had to pay a fee.

By Coach:

  • 5/5 Petracca
  • 4/3 Gawn

The rest are obvious.  Again agreement on the top 2 but no agreement at all on the rest.  I guess it reflects the team effort and overall contribution by 22 players.

Trac is on 15 votes too.   Hes been so consistent polling in all 4  games.

Great to get a clean sweep of the votes, I thought Chris Scott would throw an encouragement vote at one of his players.

Correct.  The coaches votes split after Petracca and Gawn were:

  • 4/0 Oliver
  • 3/0 Langdon
  • 2/0 Lever
  • 2/0 Salem
  • 1/0 McDonald
  • 1/0 Pickett

Pure guess work as to which were Goodwin votes and Scott votes.  They certainly saw the game differently.

  • 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.
