Only bad injury appears to be Tomlinson

Feel so bad for the bloke.

He has been playing so well.

His face says it all.

 

 

If Kozzie and Jackson played in the snow they wouldn’t leave any footprints. Such balance and silk.

Strange old game but it’s the 4 points that count

 

Very relieved. Good effort to overcome the early injuries and flatness from last week's exertion. 

I'm shattered for Tomlinson. He's been so good this year.

Can someone explain why we went down in percentage on the ladder??

% is points for / points against x 100
In order to increase percentage we would need to win by a greater amount than our current %. 
Any other result will result in a decrease in %

The longer the season goes on, though, the less impact an individual game will have on % though the principle remains the same.

 


Thank god for that. 

A lot of players down but we still got the chocolates. 

Really feel for Tomo. Poor bugger.

The AFL were like “this win didn’t deserve a percentage boost”. They’re not wrong. 

 

Shocking first half performance. As undeserved a win as you are ever likely to see

The story is Thommo’s injury. Cruel luck for the lad. Has big implications for our defensive unit for the rest of the season.

Good sides find a way. The gulf was evident in the end.

Shout out to Dr D for telling me I was “the problem” for predicting at halftime that we would still win given North have a history of dropping away in the second half. Which is exactly what happened. Keep up the stellar work Doc.

Today was a celebration of Dogga and Kozzie. What a draft that has already turned out to be. Both are stars rapidly on the rise and today we needed them to be. Especially with Gawn having a rare down day.

Fritta probably best on. Hopefully doesn’t miss too many weeks.

Clarry lifted when really needed.

I’m choosing to focus on the positive aspects in that we were challenged and ended up winning by 5 goals. Onwards and upwards.


I will take credit for this win. Wore a different MFC polo shirt today, thought I might mix it up a little. Changed back to my lucky MFC polo at half time and veiola!! You are welcome. ?

On the milk run down to tassie cream rises to the ? eventually...

The more games we play, the higher the margins have to be to keep it as high

No

Our percentage going into this game was 150.7. If our percentage for this one game is higher than that, our overall percentage goes up. Otherwise it goes down.

Our one-game percentage today is 141. So our overall percentage goes down.

Absolutely gutted for him. He is shattered

Stock standard @Dr.D

We were 150% beforehand. To sustain that level you need to continue winning by that margin. Any game you win by less than that margin will reduce your overall percentage

@Better days ahead, sorry for being preachy, and I'll be preachy.

Don't let your own personal expectations of things that haven't even occurred yet (the game) - get in the way of your version of 'deservedness or not'. We won and we deserved to win. There was a truckload of adversity... and a truism in football is that, if you are a very good team (or above) and you can grind out a win, then that is a great win.

We just did that.

  • Viney out
  • Tomlinson out within the game
  • Ben Brown's first game (synergy as a forward line, taking time to adapt).
  • Baker in...

A range of things showed up for adversity... we did bloody well. 


Not a pretty win, but I’ll take it. 
 

Some really rubbish posting going on in the match day thread. Some folks need to put their phones away during the game and have their meltdowns in private.

We were always going to be seriously challenged. 
but as stated North cannot run out a game  

I think losing Tommo, so early, to a really serious injury rocked a few players for a while  

Dr. Depression really showed his colours today

  • 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.

  • 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.
