Jeepers, game day already?  Better get this work stuff out the way so I can focus…..

Looking forward to some 'absolute' statements' in reference to a loss in this thread. 👌

 

The two top teams.  We are missing key personnel, but so are Brisbane.  Neither team has been in good recent form.
We have had a number of players well below their best in recent weeks, and a few for quite a bit longer than that.  If these players return to something like their best, we win comfortably.  If not, we struggle.  Classic 8 point game.  Time to put off-field distractions behind us, discard any fatigue from ‘loading’ and assert ourselves.  Go Dees!

Not overly confident about this one

Both teams form is poor and have significant outs

Lions record at the G is pretty bad so i think that swings it in our favor

Dees by 15 points

Bye - what bye ? Seems like we’ve had 10 day break whilst others had 13-14. Nonetheless hopefully there was time for the players and coaches to refresh and reset and get back to the required high standards expected all across the ground.
 

No Gawn. No Tmcd.  We need to see what LJ and the Weid can deliver.  With chance, comes opportunity!! 

Ditto   Absolutely not sure how this is going to turn out. Hoping for the best. Good luck Dees 

Melbourne 30+, Petracca BOG, Collective sigh of relief at Demonland 

 

On the road (bus as train not running today). Alarm didn't waken me (I'm deaf and slept on) 

. Neighbour woke me and sped the 45 minute trip to the station in 20 mins (absolute legend)

SO like a well oiled machine we can overcome all adversity and recover poise and salvage victory from the jaws of defeat.

GO DEES

Thought I'd give a plug to the Pink Lady cause:  If folks can afford to, chip in some $ to this most worthy cause💗.  Donate before June 30 for an immediate tax deduction.  Folks can buy a 'virtual seat' at the G for tonight's game:  https://www.pinkladymatch.com.au/donations

There are also PLAY4BCNA beanies on sale via the BCNA website.

May gets our 'behind the ball' structure back on track. No gawn means we move the ball quicker and lower the eyes. Fritsch the main beneficiary kicking 5 goals. 

And don’t forget y’all… it’s the PINK LADY match! 
Maybe add a touch of pink to your attire tonight. Think pink is unmanly? The boys are all running around in pink socks tonight. Tell Jack Viney pink is unmanly. 🤣

Our banner looks AMAZING! And I was told yesterday that BCNA are extremely happy with it, and just as happy with the MFC for continuing to support them by hosting this match every season. 💖

GO DEES!

edit: see @Lucifers Hero’s post, above. Thanks Luci 😘

Round 12 last year is on Fox now. Things I have noticed so far are the Lions go the man early, umps are dreadful on holding the ball or incorrect disposal, and you can't touch Hipwood or Daniher.

Midfield needs to fire tonight. Clarry is a jet every week, but Petracca has been down on impact since illness. If he can return to form it’ll go a long way to us winning. Mids need to lower the eyes going inside 50 and forwards need to stay in motion and present. It’s really that simple for us.

Dees by 11 points.

I was lucky enough to see that game live - for me it was really the start of believing we were the real deal 

Up to half time they had us covered easily - second half we simply ran harder and moved the ball quickly. Zac Bailey was very handy for them with 4 goals so him out is a positive - flip side we got 3 or 4 I think from TMac who is missing :(

If we don't lift our intensity significantly and get more efficient with ball in hand we can't win tonight - hopefully tonight things change and they can get the season back on track  

I'm probably more confident tonight then I have the past 2 games.

Something tells me having May back and a week off will do us good.

 9 days or so  isnt exactly a huge freshen-up but im hoping its enough. We have been slammed in the media until good ol' Jordy helped give us some respite from the front pages (bless his cotton socks)

Tipping us to win by 3 or 4 goals.

Go Dees!

Maysie owes Jordy a couple of froffies!  What could go wrong?! :)

Four in a row

That’s the spirit!

 

As others have noted, bailey out is huge.

One, he is a total gun.

Two, he is the exactly the sort of forward we struggle to contain ie gun small to medium goal kickers.

The lions usually really stretch us in that regard, because they have bailey and Cameron (not to mention half forwards McCarthy and this year raynor, and mids like mccluggage).

With bailey out we have more options for Cameron.

On that, you'd think hibbo gets first crack on Cameron.

Sort of like: "If we lose tonight then we are X and I will Y all over the place"?

  • 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.
