Certainly not Collingwood - they never travel 6 times.

OMG - not "The Fremantle Doctor" 😱.  

That's our 11th interstate win in a row.

    Boom!

    And dont play the slackest of rolling zones....up on them and in their face from the get go,  only reverting to the above when the game was well and truly beyond doubt in the last quarter.

    Sure it was because of Harmes not being available but there were a few other tweaks tonight as well.

    Kick in's were not as predictable for one.

    I agree

    The McClelland Trophy is up for grabs!

    In all seriousness, after tonight, why can't we finish on top?

    We can certainly win our last 3 but we need the Cats to slip up

    Great win against a side that really cannot handle wet weather, and a game style they don’t seem to be able to adjust. The wet suited our contested style and relentless pressure - with more fumbles and more dropped marks they were just given zero opportunity to play how they wanted.

    Backs were impressive.  Setup and talk behind the ball was back where it needs to be and stay.  Petty might not get the touches, but the spoils and blanketing of players is crucial.  Rivers had some important defensive clearances early, and hopefully Lever recovers fine.

    Viney probably having a career best season, absolute beast.  With Clarry tagged, Petracca and Brayshaw covered well.  Saw some criticism for Sparrow but thought that was a far better effort, better disposal and involvement. 

    The negatives for mine were obviously Weideman just having no involvement.  Some said in the game day he was competing in the conditions but I rarely saw that.  ANB had a rough game, didn’t play to conditions and even before injury I genuinely thought Jackson was disinterested.  Weak in the contest, little follow up - almost had an individual moment of brilliance before the main break  but otherwise disappointing. 

    Reckon on that kind of form and pressure we’re perfectly ready for the Pies!  Go Dees.

    Backline was so much better balanced with Hunt providing some defensive cover and speed across half back.

    Gus helped the midfield get more uncontested possessions and cover on the defensive side. But the wet weather made his indiscriminate hacking of the ball forward look good. And Brodie and Mundy had about 3000 disposals each, but didn’t have the space or skills to do much with them. 

    Fritsch was excellent. Weid and Melk not exactly a pack crashing force, but they did enough to panic Pearce, Cox and Young out of intercepts. Apart from that stretch in the 3rd where Mundy put himself in our bomb out spot and the talls couldn’t come across and impact.

    I still don’t think we go anywhere without an uncontested kicking game to keep teams honest and some miracle recoveries or performances from tall forwards. But when we can win in the air the ground game still has a lot going for it

    Gus is much craftier than our other mids.  He's also a solid D as we've seen all year but doesn't offer the line breaking run of Hibberd (to a lessor extent but it's still there), Hunt or, at times, Rivers.

    Quick reaction time and smarts in terms of decision making (handball vs quick kick vs roll and gun vs the old one/two).  Certainly has more tricks in his bag.

    Speaking of Hibberd i thought he was super tonight.

    2 howlers in the 3rd quarter but a low disposal total v Port and a fade out on tired legs last week were silly criticisms. His work rate and strength and power at the contest are just immense, and short of completely butchering the ball he won’t be going anywhere.

    Hunt was a good inclusion tonight, he did his job.

    We need as many as possible to turn up next week against Collingwood, we owe those [censored].

    A great team effort, selfless passing to players in a better position kicking for goal was great to see. I would like to see some of our players move the ball on a bit quicker. A few mark and then hold things up and allow the opposition to get into position. We play our best when we are running, and kicking long.

    Sometimes as supporters we wax lyrical about individuals and their form. But the hallmark of this team is when they all do their role, are mentally switched on, the opposition don't get a sniff.

    I don't know what that role is but it results in a fantastic collective result!

    The harassment, the defensive skills, the tackling like you mean it, clogging up the corridor was back to its best tonight.

    Add to that moments of brilliance from the likes of Fritta and it deflating for the opposition.

    Sure we had some quiet players in terms of stats, but if they mostly did their job. And that's all that matters.

    • 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.

      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.
