It wasn't pretty, but that was a great win. The pressure was immense.

I'd like to suggest to anyone who's had a gut full of the inept, corrupt umpiring of interstate games to contact the AFL tonight and voice your displeasure. Absolute amateur hour, get some umpires who've got some balls to call the game correctly rather than the feckless cowards we have to put up with

Hear hear


Immense win without a ruckman and really missing a quality tall. Our midfield is a beast.

16-3 after quarter time. That is not an accident. Are umpires 20 and 31 locals?

Well done boys, no ruck and beat 21.

One of the most appalling displays of umpiring I have ever seen and I've been around for a while.  The AFL have tried to make the umps some sort of footy celebrities for TV purposes, but their feel for the game and judgement is just so bad.  In fact, it currently is a blight on the game.  This win tonight is bigger for us than the score would suggest.  We had to beat incredible odds, which were solely down to atrocious umpiring, on Adelaide's turf and we did it with grit and determination.

That's the Demon spirit, which nobody can deny.  Not even the umpires.   Go you mighty Demons.

 

I might have been alone but I wasn’t worried all game. Whenever we were challenged we stepped up

Check out Viney in the middle each time they got close. He is unbelievable 


No rucks and the most one sided pathetic umpires performance I’ve ever seen and we still won by 5 goals away from home.


Overall midfield was very solid. We did very well given we weren’t with Gawn, LJ and even TMac who would be rucks 1,2 and 3. The forward talls were serviceable in the 2nd half enough to create contests but there was still poor delivery to them given number of intercepts taken by them. 
 

There were a few hit up leads when we moved the ball fast enough, but i suspect our risk taking atm is quite low so hopefully we can push the envelope here a little more. 
 

Umpiring was terrible both ways in the last quarter but we got the short end of the stick the entire game. It was quite a poor standard I think the Dees should make a polite enquiry on #20
 

Time to recover for next weeks game against the Pussycats

Very good win against a Crows side that were switched on, as hard as us at the footy, and killed us in the air.

We MUST fix our aerial play inside F50. Until the last 10 minutes the crows backs picked us off, spoiled, blocked and out-marked us too easily.

Also, we cannot miss easy shots at goal like Bedford, BBB and Spargo in the 3rd quarter. 

Great game by our midfield. As tough as the crows were, we outlasted them and took everything they gave to us.

Langdon and Brayshaw: we will be talking about this combination for the next 50 years. Outstanding.

Hats off to our backmen. Very, very well done.

Don't know what to say about the umps. How about the head smack to Oliver? 

I just love watching us win ♥️💙

No ruck no worries. No quality key forward taking marks no worries. 3 free kicks for in the last 3 quarters no worries.

Crows gave great effort Walker challenges most backlines but we were just too hard and classy around the ball.

Great see Trac back being Trac and Langdon back being Langdon. 

Take the 4 points and keep a space on the pack. We will need it with our run home. 


Good, grind-it-out win under the circumstances. Feel that some of the players who've missed patches of footy are still a bit off the pace - May and Salem in particular, though Langdon was back to doing what he does. Hopefully only a matter of time, especially as we have some testing games ahead.

Gawn and Jackson can't come back in quick enough.

No normally an ump basher, missed all of ours and gifted them. Missed a Ben Brown mark as well. Should be raised by the club.

Who cares, we won 

 

Really enjoyed that. Tough, gutsy win. Battled injury, umpires and a tough Adelaide team. Go Dees.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
