I feel like I’ve been to a wake yet we won by five goals. Whether that’s a good thing or not I haven’t yet worked out. ??‍♂️

I reckon a lot of us are almost willing that first loss for the season to happen. To get it outta the way. It’s a human thing. 

The week after the grand final will suit me just fine

Rab - this is what good teams do... play like $hite and then go on to win... it's a [censored] weird feeling eh.

 

I'm glad our really bad games are still wins these days.

A 30 point win in Round 1 will give a much higher % than a 30 point win in Round 22....

Swyl a 3 point win in round 1 can give a better percentage than a 30 point win. Total for v total against.

Not fifteen...play on.

Sheesh.

play on a soon as you look laterally even though you haven't moved off the line of the mark!

Yes i am aware of that. But the more games played, the higher the differential must be to keep a high %

 

With hindsight even though this was top v bottom...North had a lot to play for.

Gunning for tgeir first win.

Their first game at their home away from home.

Ben b against his old side.

Our record at this ground.

We were probably too relaxed.

No, if you maintain the same winning ratio the percentage is the same. One game 100 or 1000 the number of games is irrelevant.

The more games the harder it is to change the percentage by large amounts

Not necessarily, SWYL.  For example, if we go into round 20 with a percentage of 150 and win 60 points to 40, our percentage would remain at 150%.

Ben Brown's thoughts on his debut (watch for a little cameo from Christian Petracca at the end there):

% is points for and Points against

it isn’t the amount of games won.

Yes correct. But if that happened in Round 2 it would be a larger differential

It seemed like the umpires were instructed to call no 15 and play on at every opportunity to keep the game moving.

An effort to justify the call in the Swans/Geelong game last night?

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

Yes, our for and against in today’s scores in percentage terms was less than our current percentage of 150, hence the adjustment 

The game makes heaps more sense and then becomes a bit funnier if you imagine Brayshaw had a few cones in advance. Also ducked down to the changerooms for top-up in the last quarter. He and Jones managed to [censored] up just about every forward thrust they were involved in by being super-[censored] non-Matrix. Add ANB and Tomald in that. If Kozzie is near the ball, please just [censored] off.

Why do I feel so flat?

Lots of uncertainty about our backline all of a sudden, and Brown didn't fit all that well into our forward line if I'm honest.

Cause we play crap in the first half. Looked like Melb of old. 
 

Give BB more time chooks it was his first game. It will click.

Tmac into the backline

Bring in Weed 

Get Baker out and bring in Sparrow 

I wouldn't mind seeing Bedford in too 

Bedford in for Melksham as well.

Feel for Tomlinson. Quite worried for Viney too. I wonder if his game time might have to be managed for the rest of this season.

open a spreadsheet and start running the numbers SWYL. As long as the margin is a consistent 150% points scored for or against doesn't matter.

It's alright. Let it go. When it comes to Knights of the Order of Australia, SWYL is your man. Percentages. not so much.

Mate, you’re embarrassing yourself. Double check the your maths before you post.

I hate to be the one to break this, but no, he isn't.

 

First half massive concern...that our players can still come to a game with that level of intensity is baffling. Thought we'd learned and were past it. Our intensity was so bad that not only were we walking around the stoppages but North were almost walking out of them.

Some guys had absolute shockers. Was Brayshaw trying to get tackled by executing as slowly as he possibly could when he had the ball today?

Read first, comprehend second, consider third and respond last. I understand percentage, I think you may be confused, perhaps go to step one and start again.

I said 1 game 100 or 1000 doesn't matter

  • 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.
