Can't believe I'm saying this because I'm going to have to wash my mouth out with metho..

But Geelong are genuinely the real deal this year unfortunately. 

Yeah they are just perfect in what they do. They don't miss tackles, they use the ball correctly, no stupid handballs, aren't selfish in there forward line and they rarely fumble.

    When we speak of learnings i hope our club has learned not to stand the line when marking an OOTF.

    The Doggies clever.  Started using the outside 5 rule to protect the inside play on or kick from this situation a fair while back.

    Cats & the Blues have now learnt and are also doing this tonight.

    As of last week we were still standing the line.

    Go back to round 23 last year. We didn't stand the line, Trac took the five meters in and it's why they kicked out of bounds and won us the game.

    Nice work off HB there by the Swanies.  As much as i hate the celebration Papley is one helluva small forward

    Jeez this is such a tight year, I think the important thing for us is to purely worry about the week to week. We have the hardest run home of all, we can win them all and we can win them all. Swans and the Cats look the goods tonight, who will look the goods next week?

    I would have to rewatch.  Maybe some players learning quicker than others as i havent seen any of our boys doing it this year.

    I just rewatched.  CP was a fair way off the OOTF when it happened and directed away from coming up to the line by the ump (ie; telling him "outside five" as he was approaching).  Think that was more circumstance than design TBH.  Not fully convinced on "intent" here.

    Does Fyfe reckon he is performing in WWE?

    the bloke is huge but he is playing footy where aerobic ability trumps muscles. He is offering nothing to the team right now

    This might sound foolish after last week but I think we can take the Cats, Blues still a year away.

    We do it for OOB but have not noticed us standing the mark five meters back like the Dogs with marks and frees.

    I don't understand this season. 

    The ten top teams have all looked like gods or clowns at various times of the year. Tipping is a nightmare, form is as variable as the stock exchange in a crisis, and to top it all off, the form sides now are the &%$##%@ Cats and Pies. 

    If we get our form together we will route this rabble - but our form is just as unpredictable.

    I need a nicely laid down Shiraz or a deeply matured Single Malt.

    Gee that looks like a good win to sydney. 

    Nothing horrific about it if we win tomorrow.
    The AFL have absolutely gifted them a fixture that’s been kissed on the [censored] by angels.

    Yep, I think Blues will finish 6th-7th and might win through to the second week. I also agree that we can take the cats. We can take all comers, for me our best beats everyone's best. It's just we've been inconsistent with our form this season while getting most of the jobs done.

    Sydney are a bloody good team. There’s really not much between the top six this year.

    Good luck predicting the next 5-6 weeks, best part is we are still right in it despite what the experts are saying.

    See above Steve....added a 'post' post comment.  Not many teams (to this point) are using the Doggy's outside five method in general play.  I havent seen many occurances, if any, of other teams (beside the Doggies) using the outside five for OOTFs before this evening.  Maybe i haven't been watching carefully enough though and have just missed it.

    Some players might be (individual preference) or have to as they cant get to the mark in time (ie: incidendal & unintended).

    Cats have peaked too early imo still a long way to go and it’s hard to stay at the top of your game as we know

    Agree. Good night for us. Cats not a threat come finals. Blues will struggle to finish above us from here. And the risk of playing Freo at their home first final reduced.

    Correct. Full faith we will be following last year’s form line and will peak at the end.

    Tomorrow's games just became crucial all of a sudden.

    Win Tomorrow and we can at least almost give ourselves breathing space and also to stay in touch with top 4.

    Except when i see them post game they look like they’re cruising. Not too excited or pumped up. They seem to have a lot in their tank still.

    Our big problem is we probably have the worst key forward options in the AFL atm. I just don't see how we fix that, unless JVR comes in and plays well, or we change our game plan, to utilize a small forward line. That would mean kicking to space and along the ground entering the forward 50 and not just bombing it long to 1 on 3.

    • 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.
