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: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
