Would that be the non call of rebouncing the ball that went about 5 meters out of the centre circle. #23 is a shockingly bad umpire.

No. Richmond’s first goal. Absolute disgraceful decision

Agreed. Zorko is the worst captain in the league and yes I am including Heppell in that. He is a hot head and thinks of himself. Argues with the umps and has personal grudge matches a lot. 

the Sooner McCluggage is made captain the better for them

Zeibell says hi ...

Feels like Sydney with their easy fixture are our main competitor for top 2.

Yep. A percentage booster against North could see them overtake us. They are a game behind however, so win all 3 and we cannot be overtaken. Lose one and it comes down to percentage.

got an armchair ride to the prelim at the Gabba during covid impacted 2020 and still couldn't get the job done. Serial chokers in the big games

Who chokes more though... Geelong, Brisbane or Port??? 🤔

Yet Fagan hasn’t felt the blowtorch…. it took years for Cameron at GW$ to be scruitinsed,  just like Fagan.

I’d take Zeibell any day over Zorko or Heppell. Puts his head over it and not a whiner

Essendon won and I do not really care or annoyed they did.

Ugh now it's confirmed the pies will play finals it makes me shudder. We really need to beat them on friday and keep them away form the top 4. I was hoping they'd have a few more years of pain.

That was their last win at the G. They have lost 15 since I believe

Marvellous. I knew the year. That is a beautiful statistic 

May it continue 

I knew they would choke, i said it earlier in the year

I (sadly) remember when the Dees had a similarly bad record at Doglands.

If we win all 3 it looks like our opponent will come down to who wins the Sydney v Pies game at the SCG.

But a lot still to play out.

 

 

If that scenario played out, that would be two very tough opponents to open the finals series given how much grief those two sides have given us in the Goodwin era.

 

So for all of Brisbane’s dominance over the likes of North and the Eagles, they show again why they are overrated 

2021
QF Dees beat Lions
SF Dogs beat Lions

2020
QF Lions beat Tigers 
PF Cats beat Lions

2019 
QF Tigers beat Lions
SF GWS beat Lions

That’s 1 out of 6 finals with Fagan as coach and large majority of current list.

Then this year they’ve lost to
Cats
Hawks
Freo
Dees
Bombers
Only beat Pies by 7 and Giants by 14. 
Yes they best Sydney earlier in the year but the Swans are now in red hot form.

Could be looking at an early exit from this years finals, but they’ll still be everyone’s 2nd team.

Re: people's refusal to acknowledge Collingwood as a genuine contender, what would be the difference between Richmond's 2017 flag and a potential 2022 flag win by Collingwood?

Richmond made finals in 2013, 2014, 2015 but then had a year full of turmoil in 2016 finishing with only 8 wins and a percentage of 78. Then they obviously got it all together in 2017.

Collingwood made the finals in 2018, 2019 and 2020 but then also had a year full of turmoil in 2021 finishing with only 6 wins but a better percentage of 86 compared to Richmond's 2016 percentage of 78.

Collingwood are first on my list of teams I don't want to win the flag, but I can unfortunately see them as a right in the thick of the race.

Richmond 2017 and Collingwood 2022 are polar opposites. Richmond went 0-3 in games decided by less than a goal that year, and finished the season with the 4th best percentage. They also had genuine star power and AA level talent in every part of the ground. And they had Dusty.

Collingwood are a mile off. They've had unprecedented levels of luck in close games (statistically speaking, close games are essentially a coin flip). That might yet enable them to sneak into a top 4 spot, but I just don't see them having the talent to mix it with the best teams in September.

Friday nights game will tell us alot about both sides.  This is a must win for Melbourne. If we are going B2B this where our campaign starts with a finals size crowd and atmosphere. Its going to be huge.

Me too. I can see them falling off next year when everyone has film on them and some of their older guys get a little older but for now this is their shot and they are very much in it.

  • 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.
