Shocking end of game play by Armon.  Took the mark with 1.04 on the clock.  Kicked the ball at .42 seconds.  Chewed up all that time spinning the ball thinking about what to do, didn't appear to be looking to pass.

Looked like  he was caught between wanting to be the hero kicking the miracle goal and scared to muck it up.  Took the hero option and mucked it up.

He knew he couldn't make the distance so should have looked for a pass to someone closer or quickly drop it at the 20-30 mt mark from goal, to have a chance of a win.   A kick to the top of the square was bound to be a point, Carlton kick in, game over.   And that is what happened.

A shorter kick may not have got them a goal and the win but it would give them a chance.

Carlton have no idea how to stop ops momentum.  The 8 goal turnaround cost them 25+% points which will be critical when its time to separate the pack in the 8.

We know only too well momentum is really hard to stop and suffered for it through 2018-20.  When they learn to do that they could become become a good side.

Such a shame the power were unable to do a 2008 Melbourne and come back from 50 points down.

Blues look good when they’re up and about, but lose the plot at the first sign of resistance.

 

Blues are like MFC 2018. High scores, plenty of firepower, not much defence, will have some slashing wins and some surprising losses, will make finals riding on emotion and get found out at the pointy end of the season.

Third game out of five where Carlton have come out of the blocks looking a million bucks and then ground to a halt.

Round 2 vs the Dogs they kicked 12.4 in the first half but then only 4.2 in the second, having a 38 point lead whittled down to 12.

Round 3 vs Hawthorn they kicked 9 of the first 11 goals but then only 2 more, going from 42 points up to behind in the last quarter.

Then today they were 50 points up just before half time and at one stage had just a 1 point lead.

They've won 9 quarters for the year (out of 20), but 7 of those have been in the first half (i.e. 7 out of 10).

Does anybody know the purpose of all this ball-spinning we're seeing these days from many players?

Sorry but too personal to discuss.

Peter McKenna regarded it as a sure sign that the player was about to kick a behind.

 

Scintillating football. I guess what you'd expect from 13th v 14th. No, wait! One of these teams is alleged to be in the 8! Anyone know which one?

Finally able to sit down to watch some footy today. My goodness I despise Essendon. I reckon I barrack harder against them than any other team. I simply hope they fail. And that spud ruckman of theirs; if Cody Weightman is the most punchable head in footy, this bloke is a close second. Whinging moaning, dill.

No 50mt penalties against him - YET.

The abuse rule is awesome, when it happens against Essendon.

Its called a Droog...


Judging by the crowd at Docklands tonight you'd have more chance of catching rabies than covid. 

Shame that most weekends now the umpiring is the main topic of conversation. It really is that bad.

Mick Malthouse has just predicted Canada will win the 2022 FIFA World Cup. 

The only thing better than watching the Scum getting spanked on tv, is listening to the Ox commentating for 6PR. He’s loving it 😁


Geez Essendon fans are feral. And I know this for sure coz I just spotted a couple of people in the crowd that I’ve seen around my suburb. My most recent sighting was the old push-bike ride with one hand on the handlebar and a slab under the other arm. (Coz no licence coz drink driving probs.) And fish n chips package occy-strapped to the parcel rack. And with a cigarette hanging outta the beak. And it was the woman! No [censored]. True story.

The bombers season is over in round 5.  how good is life?!

Freo look solid, arguably the best defence after us - only team to have conceded less than us.  When Fyfe comes back, they'll be top 8

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
