I wonder if old mate will be there today…

I just want a W and no injuries this week and next. We  need to continue to stick fat with our defensive first stylings and not deviate and start playing Hollywood footy the next 2 weeks.

    I'd be really satisfied with 30 scoring shots to 10

    Save that for September, like 2021?

    I didn’t watch Footy Classified this week. Did Ross Lyon say “ I think the Eagles can get it done” in his pre-game analysis ? It’ll be the first time this year he hasn’t said it about our oppo I think. 

    Almost 300 days and counting since he was last right.

    “If the 8 half decent players WC have left play like it’s 2018, all the unheard of WAFL guys are on peptides and the entire Melbourne side have covid x bird flu, I think the Eagles can get it done”.

    Just had a look on Big Footy and Wet Toast supporters are concerned that the rest of the AFL look at their team as tanking. The thought had crossed my mind as some of their selections are surprising.

    Definitely Tanking 

    have believed so for about a month

    There was a time around this time a year ago that we got very complacent about our lot in life and we started losing to teams languishing at or near the bottom of the ladder. History surely can’t repeat?

    History truly repeating would be losing to North next week to go 9-1 before spanking top of the table Fremantle. 

    (and beating another top four contender in the Swans the following week before dropping one to Collingwood pre-bye). 

    It wouldn't be the worst outcome considering how superstitious a lot of sportspeople are.

    When I was in Fiji in 2017 we were playing Carlton and it was close. The stream was reliable for the whole match except for the last 2 minutes when the game was in the balance and it was a goal the difference. The steam was buffering and the hotel internet went to [censored]. I couldn’t even get the score online for about 5 minutes after the match. 

    Apparently we kicked a goal and won by 8 points. 

    I’d put the blame on Fiji’s internet infrastructure in 2017 rather than WatchAFL.

    Apart from that it was great. 

    Right, cop this.

    When I was in the Soviet Union in 1985, near Lake Baikal, a fellow traveller on the Trans Siberian Railway said to me : Melbourne have won. (Fancy making a long distance call from the USSR to Australia to get the footy scores - thats committment).

    3 or 4 years ago you wouldn't have been confident & it would be a game we'd drop.

    This team should put there foot down & should win by at least 10 goals. 

    This game is making me more nervous than if we were playing Freo or Brisbane. I could never trust WC to put in a shocker against us.

    Do they not trust rookies to cut letters without straight edges?

    Truly one of the greatest images of that night, captured exactly what I suspect many of us were feeling at that exact moment.

    You can’t be serious!

    MFCSS is strangely missing today. More worried about injuries.

    I was going to suggest they drop/withdraw the whole team and replace them with their WAFL team but just checked and they were on the bottom of the WAFL ladder. The whole club is screwed. Going to be a long long long way back for them. Heads MUST roll over there.

    Sorry, but they're blatantly tanking.

    Sure, they look unfit like we did at the top of 2019, but we never rested players like they're doing.

    It's absolutely ridiculous. Kennedy out now as well. They don't need to rest players, we'll beat them anyway.

    5 - 6 goals ahead at quarter time and then we might even go into lockdown! haha

    Not concerned about the team not being switched on as the competition for spots in the team is fierce ... so our lesser-lights (if we have any) could shine today

    45 - 60 point victory

    • 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.
