Very good chance we go through undefeated from here . . . multiple injuries to superstars and Mayfades excluded.

Carlton will be a handful.  Looked good today with some quality to come back in.

 

Freo loading? Carlton’s second halves have been terrible all year yet not today. Freo looked well off it against hawthorn at home 2 weeks ago too.

 

Carlton supporters are loud mouthed [censored]. They'll be wanting to make a space in the trophy cabinet now.

( Having said that , I backed them today and also have them in a multi)


I appreciate this forum is a place to vent for some people, and what really riles me, is that there is often vitriol towards umpires from certain posters.

Personal attacks wouldn't be accepted against any other group. So why these individuals? It wouldn't be tolerated in my house against anyone, I'd send my 6yo to his room, and if I spoke like that, I'd send myself to the room and give myself a good long talking to about respect, compassion and common decency.

So it's been bugging me that this forum perhaps doesn't sanction that sort of commentary (perhaps it does and I am not aware of it).

We can do better Demonlanders. #notallDemonlanders

 

A sample of EO when people were 'attacking' "Britney' 😉...or 'PRGUY17'

I’m not getting carried away with this result. Freo have been up for a while, as were we. I do hope the Giants can roll the Pies though, another team that’s been riding high of late.

Mate, it's a footy forum. And I genuinely haven't noticed that steady stream of vitriol you speak of.

Carlton are a big threat but how enjoyable would it be to beat them in a final? Watching their feral supporters lose their minds would be hilarious

Possibly, any side playing for Top 4 will have looked at what Burgess (and Selwyn) did last year. We were at Peak fitness for September and pulling away

Probably. They squeezed the life out of them not that long ago

I thought the umpires did a good job on Thursday night. They stayed out of the game, and only paid what was there (except the Daniher frees which I wasn’t sold on).

The issue is that umpires are the public face of the administration of a game that’s become far too complicated. They are there so people will go them in the absence of any alternative.

I understand the AFL’s need to want to protect the umpires, but the reality is the problem sits with the AFL itself. The umps are doing there job, but often the job requirements don’t make sense, or aren’t clearly communicated to stakeholders. If the AFL wants to fix the problem of umpire respect they need to simplify the game, and it’s communication.

Are we assuming that we were prepared to lose 2 of 3 to fall back to the pack  (should have beat Sydney)- so to speak... loading a bit earlier than the others...and then for the others (Freo, Bris, Carlton, GTown) to load at some stage and also potentially have diminished returns from winning... I'd think so also... 👌

I’m really hoping today is the day the sycophants in the media finally realise Richmond are well past it.

The ramping up of training drills is designed to peak at the bye. Then the boys get the rest to refocus. So I suppose it’s a case of “get what you can” during that period. 
What i was worried about during those 3 losses was that our 3rd Quarters were flat, after a 20 minute break in each game. 
But Thursday was most pleasing

West Coast get a win and everyone is excited 

West Coast looked A LOT better against Geelong, I’m not saying their going to be winning on the regular but like a large portion of bottom teams they aren’t as they seem. They’ve had COVID rip through their club (poor management and attitudes perhaps) as well as a number of injuries to compound it. They have a lot of premiership players in their team, so when things get going they are capable of playing decent footy. Love seeing the bombers lose!

I’m not. I’m hoping they beat Geelong - and then fall in a hole.

Why are the Cats wearing white shorts for their home game?

Why are the umpires wearing yellow.

Not sure I agree, I had written them off, but ever since they got Balta and Vlaustin back in, they have looked a lot more likely defensively. A couple of the bastards are having Indian summers as well.

  • 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.
