Bowey was immense, so composed under pressure, hard to believe hes only played a handful of games at AFL level. That sort of decision making and disposal under pressure takes years to get to that level. 

Petracca did what Petracca does, what an athlete. 

 

Stand tall Bowey. Great game. He is so poised with the ball in hand off half back and will be an AA half backer in the next 2-3 years. 

Trac, LJ,  Oliver terrific. Better today from Kozzy. Another solid hit out from Tommo and J Smith. 

Spargs and Hunt on the outer. Sparrow, JJ and at TMac have to be on notice with two stinkers in a row. 

We’re getting it done like great teams do. It’s not always pretty and we were cooked at 3/4 time. 
 

A lot of players were well under their best, but thats ok, it’s at the right time of year and we still got it done.

I’d like to see Toby Bedford get some game time for Hunt. He looked exciting at times against the dogs (although a bit nervous) but I liked what I saw. 

 

Did what we needed to when we had to. GC will beat plenty of sides that aren't as good as us this year. 


Maxy got smashed in every marking contest and didn't get any luck. Sparg's field kicking let him down tonight. But nice to see Kozzie getting back into some sort of form, and bowza and dogga, what can you say.

Also thought JJ had a good game.

Good to get the win. GC are a good side. Miller and Rowell kept grinding they are both hard at it, and Anderson kept kicking crucial goals. Really happy with the win. A few liabilities tonight though. Sparrow, Spargo, Hunt, and probably Rivers all performed poorly. Sparrow I thought was terrible.

Professional grinding win against an improving side in tough conditions. Jackson and Boweys impact at their age is ridiculous. Our defensive run was not up to normal scratch and our forward talls in Brown and Tmac did not give much,. Take the win and back to the G for round 3. 

 

May, Bowey, Tomlinson and Smith were good in a defence that saw a lot of footy.

Gawn looked so cooked. 

Track and Oliver win that game for us.

Brown, McDonald and Gawn forward saw too many packs with all three going up. 

Now let’s get back to Melbourne away from that weather…

Wow we were pushed. Don’t think we were bad, but Gold Coast were really good tonight. Hope this is just early season jitters.

Petracca was phenomenal. Jackson, also really good. Gawn had a shocker though, couldn’t mark to save himself. Spargo was solid as was Bowey. 
Was is just me or did that umpire just loved saying “play on” every times a player took a mark?

Jake Bowey should be ineligible for the Rising Star when he already is a star.

 

He played another great game, tonight. It was made more impressive in the oppressive humidity..

Not at our best but got the job done.

Bank the win and move on

Edited by BDA

Kind of result I expected. 

Good hard fought slog against a team that's certainly on the rise. Play like that tonight all year and I think they win 10 games.

Our young kids are genuine freaks. Bowey and Jackson are next level, kozzie just doing what Kozzie does. I also liked Tom Sparrow's inside work and James Jordon on the wing who's work rate was noticeable tonight.

Take the win, and move on to next week.

Seemed play it was play on if a player went 1cm off his line…


Good win. GC played pretty well. Thir midfield is excellent with Miller and Rowell

Bowey was very good in Salem's role.

Jackson great.

Trac probably has six Brownlow votes.

Loved Pickett's goal.

Worried about Max's form. Was a liability tonight.

A good, professional win that one. Certainly can't discount the effort that went into it, tough conditions against a talented opponent. 

We absorbed it and then overcame it. The best part is that I think we all expected we would, and we did.

Will never take being a bloody good team for granted! It's awesome

The umpiring was gutless tonight, for both teams, but hurt the Suns towards the end of the third particularly. 

Hunt's disposal has not improved

Bowey playing Salem's role tonight

forward line seemed congested

backline a little shaky, tho still conceded the average 60 odd

put the Q in the rack at 3Q time, did what we had to do

lets smash the bombers next week


Winning ugly is better than losing, take the wins anyway the come not going to be many easy games this year. 

Youngsters were great , especially Bowey and Jacko with Kozzie always exciting.

Might be time to give Bedford more of a regular game, as Hunt is just not grabbing his chance and turns the ball over too much.

We miss Lever lots as we don’t have that intercept marker who reads the play as well as him.

 

Trac is such a bull and the best player in the comp right now.

 

Love how Trac stitched up LJ in his interview

gold!

Well we got the win we have plenty of improvement left in us. Gold Coast are better than  I thought they were Rowell and Miller are elite. Petracca WOW Bowey WOW Jackson WOW. If Hunt gets a game again I'll be amazed absolutely horrible.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
