Great win! Saints have looked really good at times this year and Never really came close to us, even with their momentum in the third quarter (two goals to our one). 

Really looking forward to seeing how Salem fits back in the team when he's fit. Gus down back is playing career best football (may've played a career best game today) while Jordan keeps improving on the wing. Good problem to have!

For those who were watching closely, did St Kilda ever try to shut down Langdon? Seems like they just let him do as he pleased which was surprising considering the effectiveness of Hawthorn's tagging efforts last week.

I was sitting level 2A on Lingers wing. He could’ve laid out a blanket and cheese platter, such was the space he had/was given.

Has any team ever gone through the Afl/Vfl season undefeated? Im pretty sure not..Do we look at this as motivational?? (not that we should need any).

Should we engineer a loss?!! (yes im kidding, i think)

.....oh the extraordinary problems of a top side.

I think Pies did in an 18 game season (lost a final, won flag) about 100 years ago

Was in the MCC. Had 6 feral Saints supporters insulting us the whole second half. Called our players ‘flops’. Said we were ‘weak’ and that they had ‘found us out’ and they would ‘beat us next time’. I have to admit that I got drawn in and called them ‘sore losers’. I am so glad we won.

Why didn't you use the line we have been hearing for decades & can finally say, at least I've seen my team win a premiership.

They couldn’t go with him so they tried taking him out. Pathetic side.

As Meatloaf sang, you took the words…

Spargo’s off the ball work was massive…halved at least 2 contests where he was outnumbered, tackled to kill the release like he’s the best at it we’ve got. Love the boy! 

It wasn't just his tackling, it's how hard he pushes up & runs to provide a lead to get the ball


Wasn’t too bad. A very sloppy quarter in the third allowed them to come back. Still glad we came back and won the 4th.

Gawn a bit quiet. Clarry had a quiet game. Bradshaw was fantastic. Top notch game. May another standout. Really glad to see that we have finally beaten a top 4 team so critics can shut up a bit

Haha. 

AFL tactics are funny though. One week a team decides they're going to try and completely close him down, the next week a team decides to let him just do as he pleases. You'd think there'd be a bit more flogging tactics from each other.

Goody made the point during the week that every time a team tries a new tactic, such as closing down Langdon, it goes in to their "information bank" for tactics clubs might try during down the track and things we'll have to manage. I thought that was an interesting take, and a perspective you only get the luxury of having when you're the best team.

Zac Jones is an embarrassment to the Jones name. 
 

We are a great team. 
 

Lever deserves the next 2 weeks off. 

Jones should get weeks for that reckless elbow on Oliver, as it was high, Intentional and had the possibility of causing serious damage eg Crushed Larynx, The dump on Langdon just as bad.

On the telecast, Bucks was asked if Melb due for a loss.  His reply was something to the effect of "definitely not!".  Went on to say something to the effect he'd love to see the dees go through the season undefeated!  I'm beginning to warm to the lad!  Thought his comments throughout the game were insightful from the way a coach looks at how a game is unfolding...Good stuff!

Bucks is the best analyst going round (No offense Daisy).

Agree Baz Post-game discussion on Fox with young Kath was informative and relaxed.

With winter approaching Bucks looked a million in that snappy well tailored pullover jacket number. Smart!

Great job dees! I loved the team defence in the first 1.5 quarters. 

Probably the best we've played all season. 


Watching the Goodwin footage of the Granny and seeing how calm he was when the doggies had full momentum knowing full well we would swing momentum back… I don’t get nervous when teams start kicking a few goals together. Wasn’t even worried in that 3rd term, I knew we would get momentum back and hold them off.

It’s just a part of the game knowing that teams will be able to come back at us for a while, not be able to maintain their pressure and attack long enough, then we get a lead and just defend it for the rest of the game.

I enjoy listening to Bucks a lot. I reckon he’s got a lot of insights into the game and he seems to see it pretty clearly.

No l. I said a few other choice things but I can’t say them on here. 

Sorry I haven't read the first 5 pages but just got back from the game....

Our first half was incredible. The Saints were clueless as to how to play us, they were stagnant, tried switching, tried short passing and in the end then they just kept bombing the ball into our fwd line. Our ability to cover the switch play was supreme.

Our structure and system is so sound my heart rate didn't get above 50.

I knew the Saints would come out after half time and try to move the ball quicker and through the corridor but it didn't matter. They kicked 2 goals to our 1 in the 3rd.

Amazing performance and we are blessed to be watching such an outstanding team.

Brayshaw, May, Langdon, Tracc, Brown, TMac, Spargo, Petty, Bowser, Viney, Lever, JJ and Jacko take a bow.

 

I love youse all.

Was talking to a collingwood supporting mate the other day at work, both agreed we like Bucks more now as a commentator/radio host than as a coach. So much insight that we don’t normally get

I think he came across as very arrogant as a coach, but now what I can see is that he is an INTENSE person when he’s representing a team in any form. He played like a soldier and as a coach, had the mentality that the world was against him, which I think he created in a way to give him the feeling he was in a battle. The guy gets motivation from a fight I think.

As a neutral commentator though, he comes across a relaxed guy that thinks about the game a lot.
 

My perception of his arrogance was misplaced.

Good old Larry - haven’t heard from him in a long time. 

 

This was not just a win, this was a phenomenal win. This is what happens when you poke the bear, Saints brought huge heat, time and again the Saints had us outnumbered 3:1 and the Demon player concerned (everyone did it) ran from contest to contest pressuring every single Saint in the chain. This was like a boxer throwing repeat 8 punch combinations, takes massive fitness. We CRUSHED them in the contest, respect to the Saints for not dropping their heads and making a game of it, but it was clear over the course of the game that there is daylight between us. Hardest ever votes. Ryder is a great ruckman, but his fitness while OK doesn't match the elite Gawn.

Shout out to Spargo in the 1st, thought he was dead when he got nailed by two Saints, he got the handball away and shook it off. Spargo is an elite player.

My mum was at the footy today (without her sons), thanks to the Dee's supporters that kept her company, she probably talked their ears off. 

Will have alot more to say, this game was the best this season of any match for so many reasons.

  • 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.
