    Getting to the important topics, why was hunt in a different shade of blue.

    I noticed this. I thought it was a fault with the long sleeve version but I assume that Langdon was wearing the long sleeves too?

    At best an example of our brilliant defence and defensive game-plan, at worst fumbly, ugly, over-possessing, wiffly footy. Assuming it was dewy, cos our skills were very ordinary. Last quarter fade-out fair enough considering 3 games in 18 days. I think.

    SACK GOODWIN amirite?

    Far out. The bar has gone through the roof with some of you people. It was a good, strangling win. Not great, not particularly exciting - the Jordon touch on the line was the only time my heart rate got above resting, but we got the job done. 

    I'm just waiting for someone to say we're the worst 4-0 side of all time or something.

    Dazzle has lost the plot.  Time to get the mute button going again

    Neither Weid nor TMac were any good. I don't mind who gets dropped for Brown, but there should be no doubt that one goes. Pickett is doing a lot defensively but just cannot get in form with ball in hand. And I'm still not convinced by Hunt.

    Agree on this. It's obvious they're both at least a class below Brown. Can't wait for him to come back.

    [censored] you Melbourne. That was a trash display of footy.

    Had the opportunity to really put the foot down but instead we tried to be too cute with our ball use going forward. 3 weeks in a row now that we've just played sloppy and let opposition back into the game.

    Are McDonald and Weideman actually for real?? 2nd week in a row where they've had opportunity to cement their spot while Brown is out and both failed miserably.

    Both could barely give a contest or bring the ball to ground. Sooner these two are phased out for good the better.

    Petracca is a star and all but [censored] hell he's sloppy and selfish at times. 

    Thank God for Steven May.

    Consecutive 6 day breaks. Hard to put the foot down on that.

    Weid is Weid. Will always struggle to make position and create space against good opponents. That said, the times he was wide open the kick went nowhere near him. Mids couldn’t chain handballs to get free of pressure and hit him up. Handball, handball, handball, run in to pressure, bang it on the boot.

    Tom is also Tom. He bought a lot of balls to the ground tonight. Not pretty but hardly the worst. Did his job and secured his spot.

    put the cue in the rack in the last, as we did against the suns, I get it, but gee, the fan in me would have loved to smash both teams, especially away from home.

    Last year at 4-0 everyone was frothing, this year at 4-0 we're somewhat concerned. The difference a year makes. That win was easy and we are cruising our way through to top 4 this year. Gonna be hard to stop.

    Come on mate. We are 4-0, won 11 in a row coming off a short pre season, just getting our backline back together and coming off another short break and 2 interstate games in a month. 
    We are strategically saving energy and getting through this first part of the season. 
    We were not in great form at the start of last year either but we were just so happy to win games. 
    Well nothing has changed.

    Weideman back to the magoos

    I would prefer mcdonald going back to find some form, he does not chase and has not provided a lot of drive this year, hope he can recapture his form. Dropping him may give him the drive to try a bit harder, chase a little more. Weids needs a chance to show what he can do, this was obviously not the game for forwards, with our poor inside 50's.

    We conceded 35 points because they did not kick straight if they had it would have been far different, we only had 2 scoring shots more than they did and they had a whole range of good players out. I must say i was disappointed we did not do better. definitely some good defense and running but our entry into the forward line was pretty disappointing. We showed such dominance at times but could not put it on the score board, that is where it counts.

    This is a classic example of focusing on a stat without having any regard for context.

    Their shots were misses because they were taking shots from awful positions. Take a look at the shot map. 8 of their 12 behinds were from 45+ metres out, most of which were on a 45-degree angle or more. Another two behinds were hard up on the boundary.

    They were taking shots from outside 50 because they couldn't work out how to take a mark inside 50, because of our defensive dominance.

    If you think tonight was just "some good defence" I'm sorry but you have no idea what you're watching. Tonight was elite defence.

    Coming off two consecutive six day breaks, I'm happily taking a 5-6 goal win. Some of the boys looked spent in the final quarter.

    Great to see Maxy back to his best. Jordan continues to improve week by week

    Mids were too busy going one ball too many which then cause turn over.

    I know mids are just as much to blame but both Weid ans McDonald barely got to enough contests to bring the ball down.

    • 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.
