Thought I'd randomly check weather radar. Wet deck on a dodgy ground that recently had turf changed.

What could go wrong.

Supposedly will clear by the arvo.

Deck will still be wet, but i presume it drains ok. The problem is the ground is in woeful condition so it will be shifting like crazy i suspect. 

Which will negate a bit of the advantage the dockers have with leg speed and perhaps make their switch and  flick it around style more challenging. 

Our big advantage over the dockers is our bulls in the middle. The conditions should suit Viney, Oliver and Trac and i reckon their mids will struggle big time to contain them. 

Don't know why, but I'm more confident tonight then I have the most in the past 4 weeks.

I reckon Viney will be the one who sets the tone tonight.

Their talls also slaughtered us last time. Winning the ground ball will be critical tonight.

Just hope there won't be any nasty injuries that wouldn't have happened on a normal deck.

We will win and the effects of it will richocett into next week!

Dees by 52. Spargo to kick 3

The Manor will be a cold and lonely place tonight, as I find myself abandoned by both the domestic staff and friends. Even The Manor's attack dogs have scant interest in watching the football with me. Despite the inherent dangers, I find myself missing SWYL and his Bangkok band.

There are positives though, and I believe my spirit will be lifted by a famous Melbourne victory ( and Shiraz ). I find myself echoing a number of posters above in having no real evidence to support my claim of a great win.

It's a game we simply must win. Lose this and I do not see us defending our crown. And that I think is what will motivate and drive The Dees tonight.

In fact, as my mood and optimism lifts, my nethers tell me that the [censored] cats will suffer a defeat and we will return to our rightful position atop the ladder.

The ricochet is always funny until someone gets hurt and then it's just hilarious. 

There is no denying that tonight’s game is a litmus test for both teams.

We all know that the colours that apply to the original ‘litmus test’, from which the modern term is derived, were red and blue.

This thesis provides conclusive evidence of a Demon win.

The final margin is harder to prove scientifically, but I’m suggesting 20 points.

Minus May for most of the match and Petty in the second half. Providing we don't have in game injuries, it'll be very different this time...

Here’s hoping Andy Brayshaw is well off his game tonight, upon hearing the news his brother ain’t coming for atleast another 6 years 😁

The Dockers' round 11 win at the MCG saw Logue hold May to season lows of just six disposals and one mark (well below his 2022 averages of 19.1 and 5.2) in a big tactical win for Longmuir.

Apparently Griffen Logue holds the key to tonight.

(we'll just ignore the fact that May missed the last three quarters of that game with concussion and was on track for a 24 possession game)

That's a shocker by Schmook..

Doing some research wouldn't hurt once in a while.

Was about to ask. That looks bloody terrible. 

It’s like they are making a volleyball field off to the side…

At Gussy’s first touch tonight the Richter scale might just register six point something.
A richter for every year of his contract. 😃

Ross Lyon on Footy Classified recapped the last time the two sides met and in his 5 bullet points detailing how Freo beat us he had one point saying May got shut down and another regarding something to do with May not having influence. He played one quarter ffs!

Initial quote already edited.

The Dockers' round 11 win at the MCG saw Logue head to May to throw out the Demons' defence in what looked a crafty move before May was substituted with concussion in the second quarter, having impressed early.

Haha. What a re-write!

They killed us with speed but also contested marking earlier in the season. Hopefully we took some lessons from that.

Looks like a lot of rain today in Perth mostly short heavy showers easing off into the evening but still present. So it should be slog combined with the poor conditions of the surface. Not a good evening for talls I suspect. Whichever team wants the game more will take the points. I thinks we are up to the challenge.

  • 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.
