    I don't post much on gameday threads. Wow you're a negative bunch!

    A lot of people don't seem to understand that after the match starts this topic is as much about expressing frustration at the poor play as applauding the good.

    Imagine if Clarry cleaned up his goal kicking, both set shots and on the run! With his talent level it’s hard to fathom why he misses and often by a long way.

    Think everyone is getting a bit carried away. The boys would be knackered, again had to isolate this week after the GC fiasco and then quarantine in Perth. They would be physically and mentally wrecked, just need the 4 points and I don’t care how. It’s another north at Blundstone game.

    Clarry is a great footballer in the heat of the battle, amazing reflexes,  however give him time to think and he stuffs up. Thinking without pressure is not his strong suit

    And he'd jhave locked the 3 (or 2 due to Seedsman) brownlow votes today...

    Joel Smith being a late in and randomly playing the best game of his career is exactly the kind of thing that would happen against us in years gone by. I’m starting to believe.

    Gawn and Jackson. Only 1 mark between them.

    Are we just exhausted? Because these sloppy skills are a big worry. 

    I would think yes, given the events of the last fortnight.

    This would be the textbook “flat week” if ever there’s one.

    In the end it’s why separates Bont from Trac and Oliver. Hate to say it but they are both average kicks. 
     

    I do like the darts coming from Bowey and Salem off HB though. I look forward  to that part of our game blossoming in the coming years.

    Cudos to Joel Smith- has done well. Pleased for him

    He’s playing to his strong suits, keeping separation and the using his athleticism to nullify contests or his leap to take some grabs.

    What does Angus Brayshaw add to our team?

    A bit like Adelaide’s let down after their biggest game of the year. Oh, hang on…..

    Percentage is still matters, what if we had a draw with jeelong and Port smashed Dogs next week?

    Kudos to the coaching team. Looks like they've turned Smith into solid defensive depth

    They're taking it easy and winning by 22 points.

    Just get the win and no injuries and I'll be happy.

    Then we still finish 2nd and get a home final. 1 or 2 is the key.

    Two way running, courage in the air, smart ball use (though at times this goes missing), and he's very important culturally to the players.

    Aside from that, nothing.

    J Smith playing his role so far. Hope he keeps it up. 

     

    Not sure why should be any more tired than any other team. Adelaide played a showdown last weekend 

    So we play last game Geelong MCG??!!!!

    • 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.
