One issue: surely the original intent of the holding-the-man and push-in-the back rules are to prevent interference off the ball when the opponent is still in the contest, rather than to penalise players who tackle someone who drops the ball in the tackle or otherwise drops their knees and gets ridden into the ground? 

This.

 

Hinkley- “We had control of their tall forwards. They didn’t hurt us”.  Must have watched a different game. Tommy McDonald was one of our best.

You might be joking but we havent played like that for quite a few weeks.

 

If we could only fix our goal kicking

i was half joking jnr

First time this year my faith was starting to waver. Last 3 games uninspiring.

We were back to our suffocating best though last night. Pressure gauge turned right back up again. Hence i'm back on the bandwagon

Anyone who can’t see what Brown did for us tonight is not watching hard enough. He drew defenders in a contest, he brought ball to ground. He gave Tmac Fritta and Jacko opportunities to play one on one and on the lead. 
Opposition defenders worry about Brown. He’s a big unit. You don’t just forget he’s there. He command respect and a good solid opponent. It’s little wonder Tmac had one of his best games of the year tonight. He finally wasn’t being breathed on by 6 defenders! 

Our midfield was absolutely outstanding tonight. Gawn back to his best. 
 

Tonight proved to me that when we are switched on, and when we can bring our signature pressure, we can beat anyone. 
 

Edit: if anything ever happens to Steven May we are royally [censored]. 

So why wasnt he played last week???  If is so obvious!

Loved seeing Petracca Giving it to the port cheer squad after his goals. Had a good laugh ?


Great response last night after a rough patch of form

Our stars shone but nearly every player contributed

Petty’s best game in the red and blue. Hunt having a great season and far exceeding my expectations.

JJ is a revelation. So consistent. The heir to James McDonald?

BB looked fit and mobile. His presence made a huge difference and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that TMac was back to his best last night with BB in the team beside him

Harmes is a worry. ANB fumbly but ran himself into the ground. Dogga quiet but clunked an excellent mark and slotted our first goal. He’ll be some weapon in years to come

Shout out to goody and the coaching team. We’ve had a tough run but back to our best last night. We were switched on from the get-go

All in all a very satisfactory nights work

Go Dees

Goodwin, Williams, Kosi, Lever, Petty and Neal-Bullen all hail from South Australia.

These players were going ‘home’.

I expected a win. Lovely to see Kosi turn it on.

Sydney threw Aliir around cause (I think) he has fairly questionable decision making & disposal. But he didn't do anything wrong that I could remember tonight, so no idea why he was moved.

Hinkley was trying to do something different. Good on him. 

Unfortunately when it doesn't come off ppl say "what the f"?

Had it worked out would have been a masterstroke

Hinkley is one of the worst tactical coaches in the AFL.

Best win for the year. 
that was a severely hostile crowd early

Would love to fill the G With Demons like that during home and away games

 

It might just happen if we are every allowed to fill the place and I have my second jab SWYL.

We're never going to beat any of the top teams kicking 4 goals 10 in the second half of a game.

Except we just did

Jaded, I think you're right about May and his importance.

We also went a bit quiet for five or ten minutes in the third as Carrie and Tracc lost a bit of their influence.

I think we would be just as screwed if either of those two were out as well.

I just couldn't see the likes of Viney, Harmes or Sparrow being able to do what those two do for us out of the middle and out of the packs.

It was a great team effort but May, Tracca and Clarrie are essential for us if we are to grab some silverware.

He has a very good list at his disposal and a solid home ground advantage. He has never been able to make use of either. They are downhill skiers and he often gets out coached. 
Last year they had a dream run at the AO due to Covid and they still couldn’t get themselves into the grand final.

Port fans really don’t like him and don’t know why he’s been around so long without producing. Their list is absolutely good enough to win a flag. 
Port game he talked injuries. He loves excuses.

We get the whole weekend to relax now and bag [censored] teams for being extra [censored].

You should add Tmac to your list.


The pressure and the system returned last night. Great game by our lads.

BBB was very good in allowing others to do their thing, particularly TMAC and Kossie.

Really noticed how BBB was spiking the ball at our smalls when providing a contest. He didn't look to out mark in a massive pack.

Nice deft tap by Dogga in the middle too to send us forward. 

The best part of wins like that is we don't hear from @Dr.D for a little while, who has once again got it completely wrong

We don't lose to the comps best teams, its that simple. 

9 tackles for a small forward is outrageous.  Kossie is back.

 

Nothing to do with the Dees but i notice that over paid overrated rat bag at the pies is in the news again today. How lucky was North not to get him.

  • 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.
