Hawthorn paying juicy odds. I have a feeling it might be worth a swing.

Nice way to soften the blow if we get rolled.

Anybody else super impressed with levers' on field and individualised leadership after May went down?

I was amazed and very proud Lever is a fantastic addition to our future

The extra coin he earns and the 2 first rounders we used ARE the price of TEAM leadership on top of his ability.

Same as for Maysie.
Leadership Really Is priceless and both Trades are Giving us back in spades with our team defence ethos.

All players are now looking team first and look how the side  is performing together.

Helps add also when your top players are week after week performing up to their ability.
 

Also helps when you have 6/8 top liners who are genuine impact players who change the results of games when they perform at a top level.

Hence the dilemma in Coaches votes and our top 6 in Demonland!

    I'm guilty of both these errors, but which is worse? Jordan for Jordon? or Swallow for Sparrow?

    Jordan, for sure.

    Nothing wrong with calling Swallow Sparrow!

    Yes look apart from some key distinctions such as:

    • Sparrow belongs to the Family: Passeridae while swallows are members of the Family: Hirundinidae.

    • Taxonomic diversity is much higher in sparrows than in swallows.

    • Swallows are bigger and heavier than sparrows.

    • Sparrows have a stocky body while swallows have an elongated body.

    • Swallows make mud nests, but sparrows never use mud.

    • Swallows usually fly around water bodies whereas sparrows prefer to fly around terrestrial ecosystems.

    • Wings are characteristically elongated in swallows but not in sparrows.

    Once upon a time a Swallow at the dees might have been a nice edition but I'm quite happy with our Sparrow especially if he has higher taxonomic diversity.

    Completely staggering the confidence of a decent proportion of Hawks supporters on their board.  They are sitting second last, and are playing against a team who is flying, but are still confident of a win.  Their prolonged recent periods of success must've given them all a case of HFCSS, which is the exact opposite of MFCSS.

    Well I reckon it is a bit of a danger game for us. We would’ve been up for the Cats game (and given our 4 quarter effort we were), throw in that our general down back is out with a fractured eye socket and that ANZAC Eve might be on the minds of some players.........not as confident this week as I was against the Cats.

    If we mean business this year we will beat the dorks, but we need to start well to shut their deluded fans up and stifle any sniff of them getting a run on.

    Definitely agree this is a danger game.  A real test of the maturity we have heard the players mention.  This is a textbook game for the old MFC to drop, see Fremantle and Sydney last year.  Hopefully the new MFC can take care of the lesser teams without fuss.

    This is a huge test for the maturity of the team, we have been guilty of drinking our own bathwater in previous seasons but a loss to the Hawks this week then coming up against the reigning premiers we could be looking at 4-2 very quickly and back into the pack. Ultimately what is getting us wins is pure hard work and working for each other. If we continue that attitude we will get more wins than losses.

    I think we will get the job done.

    May out us big, but we still held off the cats without him.

    Our midfield is simply dominating as is Max.

    Tmac is in good form as is Fritta. Kozzie to get a few more. Jackson to have a big game and its all over.

    I agree. I think he will be selected for the tigers game. Nice spanner in the works for richmond.

    Could be a sore player, giving consideration to list management and the shorter turnaround against the Tigers 6 v 8 day break

    Fritter out for 2

     

    With Fritsch out.

    I wonder do they bring in a tall like Mitch Brown?

    Or perhaps just go with Sparrow as the replacement and play Melksham deeper (I think this the most likely). 

    Training injury. You've got to be kidding.

    • 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.
