No pressure at all being applied there - Luke Dunstan I think needed to go a bit harder re the spoiling attempt

    Whilst true that Dunstan should have applied more spoiling pressure it appears as if both Weid and Mitch Brown were left alone in the square. Having no idea what the drill is here it is extremely difficult to make any accusations on a tiny clip with zero context. Having said that ... Where are the key defenders? Salem seems to be minding Brown which is a mismatch and Dunstun (a mismatch for Weid - maybe that's the point) is coming in with the flight of the ball. It doesn't appear that he would have been Weideman's opponent but sure he should have applied a bit more pressure.

    Well   The club must just do it again. Only so all the doubters can be assured that the mighty ducks.  Sorry. Dees are indeed the best team in the land. But I concede your question. To win in WA when I was not there,  did it really happen or was I dreaming 

    In fact, the club will have to do it another six times. NASA had men land on the moon six times and there are still disbelievers out there.

    It's bloody pleasure to hear him speak to the media this year. We have more than a few quality speakers at the club and whilst I can be a bit of a language snob surely clearer communication must make it easier for the leaders of the club to really convey their thoughts to the younger lads and generally fire everyone up and inspire confidence. Rewatched Making their Mark recently and looking at the stunned mullets in the Richmond meetings and inability to really say anything at all apart from the word 'obviously' (which according to 90% of AFL footballers belongs in every single sentence) made me very proud of the likes of ANB, Trac, Lever, Gus and even Gawny despite his self confessed lack of vocabulary. Even our less confident speakers like Oliver seem far more switched on compared to a lot of other players out there.

    Mind you i'm not completely one eyed, i'm aware the likes of Bont, Sloane, Riewoldt, Hawkins etc etc etc speak extremely well, I just think we have more than our fair share of really switched on footy brains

    Yes, noticed he and Koz sprinting forward to provide an option or to apply pressure. It was unrewarded running but I saw this a bit last year and they don't care if they are used/involved... the definition of selfless! They will go and go again because it's the one time in 20 that what they do rewards the team by them being there. Pickett in particular would be a joy to coach, appears to really listen and implement what the Coaches are telling him, while the Coaches give him permission to take things on when he thinks he should. No ego, just confidence and a willingness to do whatever is required for team success.

    When you have 19 and 20yr olds doing this, that's culture!

    One thing I loved about playing footy was doing and seeing the unrewarded running especially into defensive 50.  As you said de, the guys at this age and with Dog teef doing it at his height is something to behold.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
