Harmes and Viney drove me nuts despite the result. I think it was @Jaded in the gameday thread (dangerous territory I know) that suggested Harmes needs to play like Harmes and not like the Bont. Fair call.

Or as Callahan said many years earlier...

I know this is a post game thread but with this performance Dew is surely going to come under the spot light and I wouldn’t be surprised of another player exodus. I reckon we prey on some of their more experienced talent where they may want to experience success and finals in place of $$$ I know they are after leadership and would not want to part way with someone like Touk but he would be such an asset to our midfield brigade. I’d take him over Maynard and another forward option. Anybody know his contract  situation? 

I want Rowell. Don’t care about contracts. Just do it!

Not much to add to the Harmes and Viney thread, other than they left Fritch out. Someone needs too explain to Viney, you must move the ball forward at all costs. Don't grab it and put it under your arms and expect that you will not be tackled.

Fritch, really needs to run to the ball our ball carriers. Just some simple skill and technical ideas.

Rowell was a little dirty swinging his elbows around in the contest, didn’t like that

Few penalties for such dangerous deliberations; as these offences were so repetitive, I was really surprised that the umpires did not notice these elbowing-multiples-on-any-Demon-target-in -range, not once. His brief from the coach must have been pre-approved by the whistle carriers, prior to the match. Good old brown paper bag stuff?

Sore groin, apparently. 

Must have stepped on it and tripped over?

Yep, there’s plenty of time before the next match to address the negatives. 
But ffs enjoy today’s thumping win! Even if only for a few hours. 
❤️?❤️?❤️?

Could not agree more, I might pull the cork on the single malt shortly.

I should mention as well that we just passed the tenth anniversary of 186. What better way to show that those days are well and truly behind us?

Bowey was good and hopefully he can hold his spot and become a dangerous kick from half back which in turn releases the lock down on Salem a bit. 
Dogga good, looked up and about early and competed well in the ruck.

Great to see Brown kick straight early and help put pressure on the scoreboard. 
Clarrie is a star. Just took back top spot in coaches award.

Pressure was great and must be harped upon all week so they know it must be there all game every game. 
Hope Tmac is alright but tbh I’d nearly leave him in Melbourne and play a smaller forward line vs WC

Straight kicking early makes so much difference..

Confidence and effort goes up

This summary from the AFL website is certain to upset plenty of posters:  :D

BEST  
Gold Coast: Miller, Ballard, Rowell, Swallow
Melbourne: Oliver, Petracca, Harmes, May, Jackson, Brown, Viney   

Vineys name is on the wrong row… ?

You say that like it's factual.

Its a quote from leigh Mattehws during his time coaching the Lions.. re: the statistic in question.

I don't know if its factual, but I suspect Matthews does.

For the ANB haters i Guess everyone got to see why and what he brings at the end …

Team has lots to work on but a very good result 

His tackle right at the end was a highlight.

it is interesting that a team that gets beaten by almost 100 points has the same number of frees, Just thought the consistency was  non existent,

Can't play Harmes, Viney, Sparrow all in the same side.

Erm we just did and won by 98 (NINETY EIGHT) points.

Btw, where’s @joeboy’s three word review?


Look what happens when you appply forward pressure. 

A good result against a pizz weak opposition so it is hard to take anything from the game.

As Jack Dyer might have said " the mental side of the game is all in the head".

  • 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

    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.
