Getting better at centre clearances effectively won us the flag.

Bang!

Bang, Bang, Bang!

I would argue that it helped us dominate the GF. But our ability to win in multiple ways won the flag.

The Dogs are a great clearance team and that is all they had, they couldn’t score goals easily any other way, so when that swung 180 in our direction it became a domination.

Being the best post clearance team got us to the GF and kept us in it. Nothing is ever one thing.

 

If you wanna really get into the nitty gritty of the GF centre square clearance-fest this video is a great watch

Good bump.

They have smashed us in clearances.

Buy only scored 19 points from them.

And will lose by 5 goals.

Again 

Normal reception resumed.

Reiwolt on fox just then:

'Dogs won clearances 31 to 20. But it's no longer a clearance game'

Still prefer to win the clearances, that’s when the Bulldogs were on top they were dominating the ball in the middle.

Clearances and conversions, two most important stats in football and simply backs up what the eye test shows.

They only had a short period where they got really clean clearances and they hurt us on the scoreboard. Taking first possession and “winning clearances” isn’t important if you can’t take them cleanly. 
I thought we shut them down well after half time by not allowing them to take the ball cleanly out of the center. 


Our centre clearance stats would be much be better if Gawn stopped hitting the ball directly to the opposition.

Our forward line would have kicked 30 goals last night if we'd been able to win the ball straight out of the middle on a regular basis.

Gawn is an all-time great but some of his taps leave a lot to be desired.

  • 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.
