Interesting talk about centre bounces versus throwing the ball up and Max's reasons for preferring bouncing.  Which reminds me - why when a 6 6 6 warning is given do they throw it up?  I can understand why the do so if they d a bad bounce - a string of bad bounces would look bad. But after a warning??

(And if other ruckmen didn't know the likely bounce height of various umpires, they do now.)

I’ve heard inside a club this being talked about as a tactic. If there’s a critical Centre bounce coming up, and you think all things being equal you should win the hit out (ie Max v spud), then deliberately violate 6-6-6, get a warning, and it’s a guaranteed throw up, eliminating any variability from a bounce and giving you the best chance. Obviously you can only do it once though, so pick the right moment. 

 

Max is just so natural and loveable with Gazz and Tim, nothing really worry him outwardly.Interesting that he considers Weid as the best backup ruck and that he fears for TMac as he is a bit reckless in the centre bounce. !!!!!


CP5 speaks well doesn’t he

He certainly does Meggs confident and thoughtful, honest and doesn’t just play the straight bat.!!

Andy Maher was very impressed. His answer to the dynasty question is exactly the right pivot - we want the underlying environment that enable dynasties but don’t expect to win them. Perfect answer.

Did anyone hear the Lingers interview at 2:05 on SEN?

Absolutely.  Very articulate and collects his thoughts so easily.  Clearly loves our Club and the culture we have built.
 

They now have the Ed Langdon interview on MFC website, he is also a very good communicator.!!

  • 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.

    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.
