If Carlton can kick 18 what does that tell you?

St Kilda didn’t turn up.

 

Question without notice (or intelligence, really):

If St Kilda has Max King, is his twin at Gold Coast Min King?

tell's me they had a purple patch. they've been as inaccurate as us for most of the season

 

Not sure if it’s the Olympics, or a learned behaviour to emotionally protect myself, but as our form slips I feel like I am slowly disengaging from the season.

we need to find a way to hold onto the top 4 and then have the week off to re-group for an assault to the summit - and then I can get really excited again.

    Have lost all confidence. I think we peaked too early and have now hit a wall.

    GC are in slightly worse form than us but are at home.
    50-50 game I reckon. 
    unless we get our fwd line connection working a lot better this will be very close. 

    This is season defining today. A good solid win can be the springboard into the next (hopefully) 8 weeks. A loss and we will most likely finish 5th or 6th and a potential early finals exit, and after the start to the season we had, this would be a huge fail.

    This is on the leaders today. They need to show the way and get the team back playing the type of football that is way too good for teams like the Suns. If they don't, then I have serious doubts about whether this list can take us to where we want to be. Over to you Max, Jack, Jake........

    Expecting a five goal plus win. We'll correct the goal kicking woes and enjoy some added run with Bowey and Sparrow. Think we'll be a bit too physical for their kids.

    We also need to tag Touk Miller.

    Sadly that is so true.


    I got a good feeling we’ll finally respond to this horrible run of form today and win comfortably. 
     

    It’s time for Ben Brown to step up and kick a bag. If he can find some form over the next few weeks I will go into September with far more confidence.

    Dont know what to think.

    I believe we could win but overall my level of enthusiasm seems to have been dented very much.

    Its hard to shake our total slump in form and I wonder know if the boys really want a flag.

    I guess its put up time and we will see.

    Talent and injuries are not an issue.

    Its all a question of motivation.

     

    Queensland has just gone into lockdown. Standby Guys. Does the plane land or turn around.

    Today we find out something about the DNA that Goody keeps mentioning in his pressers.   
    How hard are we prepared to work to protect the gains already made this season?  Are we prepared to sacrifice individual accolades for the good of the team?  Do we have it in us, to fight our way out of a form slump (like champion teams do)?  Are we serious contenders?
    Critical game with enormous consequences for our season.

    I can't see how we will be able to fly out from GC to Perth tonight.

    They've got a 'quarantine corridor' 

    Ps... really sorry for you and the last minute announcement/derailment of attending the game.

    3 days only

    Come on guys that's only the proverbial "circuit breaker" and of course they have the "best" CHO in the world

    Far out, so hard to get excited about anything these days. Play 5 minute quarters so we can be out by 4pm.


    That sucks about COVID - world seems like it takes 2 steps forward and 1 back. We'll get there!

    God I wish we could just smash a team by 10+ goals and be able to sit back and enjoy it. 

    Praying BB kicks 4+

    Anyone know how much goes into the Club that wins the GF this year? Is it usually the same?

    I saw some of the Blues scores last night between ads on Ch7 Olympics coverage.   Was it 14 gls 2 behinds at one stage?

    I saw that with dismay at would could have been the back end of our season if we had done that only once or twice.

    Seems to be a lot of that.

    The energy and excitement that propelled us to an incredible start seems to have dried up and vanished. Its not just the supporters.

    Maybe they can recapture that mindset and performance but its hard to see it happening after the Hawks game.

    This is a group of players who can beat anyone....have almost zero injuries but has a signficant problem now between the ears.

    If Goody can turn it around and brings us back to the club we were for the first twelve weeks he will be a master coach.

    • 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.
