Barely got out of a canter and won easily.

Looks like I won't have to buy a hat and eat it after all.

Haven't seen the game but a few things I noticed were:

  1. Carlton kicked 10.8. That is the fourth consecutive week we've conceded 18 scoring shots, which we also conceded in Rounds 1 and 2. It is the highest amount of scoring shots registered against us all year (the other three games were 13, 15 and 14).
  2. The fourth quarter was level. Whilst we didn't win it, we obviously also didn't lose it, meaning we've still only lost one fourth quarter all season.
  3. An interesting flip in clearances: this week we were +1 in centre clearances but -16 in stoppage clearances.

Our clearance work is awful. It's all down to Oliver and Trac. No one helping them.

BT -“ The fans are quiet because Melbourne supporters are bored of winning.”

I have no words…..  The most ridiculous comment I have heard in a long time.

 

Lever Lever Lever.....everytime they bomb it in......so refreshing.

We only concede an average of just over 27 points per second half of games.


What was the crowd for those at the game?

If any club knows that clearances can be deceiving its us from 2014-2020. We are setting up to be able to apply more pressure on the clearance exit and help out defence. We don’t have to win every clearance with a dinky handball to know one.

We’ve also become much better at transitioning the ball from defence - Salem, Hunt, Langdon. We have a definite structure to how we play. It was a good win without almost any individual brilliance. That’s what good teams do.

Just ‘business as usual’ for our Demons ..... and how good it is!

 

How the hell did Lever get pinged for holding the ball when he picked it up in congestion and was immediately tackled? At least they only scored a point from it, but it was a BS call

Good win to the boys. TMac massive.

9-0 baby!!!

I actually thought it was a great win. There were long periods of the game where there wasn’t much scoring - that to me says the game was a genuine arm wrestle. We scored heavily in the periods where we had ascendency and defended like Demons(!) during the period where they had it. 

I reckon the “meh, just a win” people are ratcheting the bar up a tad too high.


Factoring our misses on goal and carltons lucky snaps Im calling it Forty point win.

Not pretty against a lower side but thats the way this season is. Teams are close and its a wing and a prayer even for top teams at times.

Even though we havent burried anyone if we address our slow starts we will smash someone. Its the law of averages.

You just cant be nine zip and not be a very very good side.

Good consistent team effort, chasing down players without giving up.  The fwd line needs more work for the two new players to get into the system.  They were getting in each others ways today, more talk.  Would have liked to reach 100 points. 

Never in doubt!!!!

nine and bl00dy ZIP!

Good win without really getting out of 3rd gear. Jimmy Jordon had a great game for me. Bit wasteful in front of goals, else the margin probably would have been 8-10 goals. 
 

Seemed like Carlton were the only team on the park where the holding the man rule applied

Jimmy had 13 tackles to go with his standard 20 disposals. Only 50% DE, though.

Well played ANB and Hunty.

Dare I say it but the structure is amazing.

Great four quarter game from Oliver.

Angus at least got a bit of it.

Umpiring is bamboozling!

Jordon good again. Jmac like.

We need to work out what to do with Weed and BBB.

Chandler struggled.

Trac's second half much more team oriented.

Spargo played his role beautifully.

Petty solid.

Centre clearances still a worry.

Applause from the members when he ran off for spell says it all. Lots of trust and appreciation all round for him

9 from 9 but we need to lift. It must be difficult hating life.

Relax, mate. We're coming up against the Doggies and the Lions, who are both flying right now. Chuffed we're 9-0, but that does not mean we rest on those numbers. We've been getting the job done so far, something that has really set us apart from others, and our past selves! But there will need to be a lift and we can't gift the Doggies those clearances. 

Our midfield will definitely have to lift when we come up against the dogs & lions.

But good win, no injuries which helps. 

Some good players were down but the good thing now is we have the depth of others to step up & cover them. 

A year ago if you said we would be 9-0 in2021 you'd wouldn't believe it.

....does that include the players? :0

 

 

Job done again, against a determined team. Very similar to all our wins in that we just stuck to the game plan and did all the team things. We have great leaders and fantastic hard workers who don’t stop working together. 

Wow 9 weekends that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed in a footy season since............I cannot remember.

I've watched good teams play ordinary football and keep racking up wins for years.  It's pretty bloody exciting to finally follow a team doing the same.

Great signs.

And Viney makes us better.  He's important.

  • 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.
