Yes I only just realised I don’t watch non-Melbourne games to see who wins, but rather to barrack for a side to lose. Huge shame that the Bombers got up, the Hawthorn match is looking promising and hopefully the wheels can fall off the Carlton bandwagon. I’m not a nice person. 

That's alright mate. Your heart's in the right place.

    Starting to think St Kilda are a chance to feature in prelim final week.

    Both clubs had a brief taste in 2018 and 2020 and then had down years.

    Why not them?

    I'll believe it when I see it. 

    They're all over Hawthorn but so was Carlton last week and Hawthorn fought back.

    Even assuming that doesn't happen, I maintain that Hawthorn's not a good side. It's clear now that beating Port Adelaide in Adelaide isn't what we thought it might have been. Their other win was vs North.

    I suspect Hawthorn is far more likely to be like Adelaide from 2021 than, say, us from 2021. Adelaide last year got off to a flyer, were 3-1, had beaten Geelong...then finished bottom 4. (FWIW, Collingwood may fall into the same sort of bracket - I'm not sure they're fit or good enough to keep playing the way McRae's had them playing so far this year).

    St Kilda look like they may be a solid side from the mid third of the ladder but I'm more than happy to reserve judgment until the end of the year to see if they produce consistent football.

    Agree it’s far too early to make big calls about St Kilda but there’s a bit of evidence starting to mount up.

    A Win over a 3-1 Fremantle in hostile territory.

    A win over highly likely finalist in Richmond.

    A dominant  first half today over a side that probably won’t play finals but a team that has stated the season well nonetheless.

    They’ve started the season in great fashion and I’m sure our club will be taking a bit of notice of them.

    So the Carlton player kicking in after Davies put it out on the full moves one way, then changes direction (to kick across goal) while still outside the playing surface. That's out of bounds & a throw in. Do the umpires not know the rules? It's fair dinkum amateur hour.

    Reckon the Saints are slowly putting something together. The Pies are like Essendon under Knights. All out attack is great when it's working, and not when it's not. And when the other teams have worked you out ...

    Cripps has done his hammy. Sad for him, but very not sad for the Blues.

    The same Fremantle who struggled to put away a likely bottom 4 side in Adelaide?

    They trailed Richmond by more than 4 goals halfway through the third quarter, but then played 1.5 good quarters and won.

    Similar to the Fremantle game, where they trailed for the first 2.5 quarters but then playing 1.5 good quarters to win.

    Looks like they'll keep it up vs Hawthorn but still, I need to see more.

    Also just took a look at their fixture, and it's brutal. They have two games still to come against each of Brisbane, Geelong and Sydney, as well as still having to play us, Carlton and the Dogs, they have six more interstate games (one of which is their own home game in Cairns) and one of those two Geelong matches is in Geelong,

    And who’s  to say they won’t go 4-2 against Brisbane, Geelong and Sydney?

    And who’s  to say they won’t beat us at the G, a venue where we’ve been quite frankly pathetic against St Kilda in recent years?

    IMO they’re a team on the rise and they’ve got a terrific percentage as a launching pad.

    50 m.  FMD.  What is the rule?

    No one knows. The umps certainly don't. They [censored] around with talking back to the ump and encroaching 1cm sideways of the mark if a player fakes a handpass. But what about the fundamental rules of the game?

    Leave contentious things like holding the ball/man out of it for the moment.

    They allow flagrant rugby passes. I'm not talking about slick handpasses where it's hard to tell if it's legal or not. I mean full on two handed scoops.

    They allow kicks that go 7 and 8 metres. They allow players to run more than 15 metres.

    They allow flagrant pushes in the back.

    Things that have not been seen in the game since year dot, until very recently.

    They're adjudicating to an imaginary version of the rules that only exists in someone's head.

    They can't get basic, fundamental laws of the game right. They are incompetent.

    The umpires are incompetent because they are led by incompetents who don't know what they are supposed to be doing.

    • 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.
