We've Gawn out in straight sets. How does the Club respond during the player draft/trading period? Does it:

a. undertake minimal list changes in the belief that a couple of game style tweaks and natural improvement in player development and skills can deliver a flag in 2023,

b. undertake a minor list renovation, moving on a couple of good servants that are unlikely to play in our next flag,

c. undertake a moderately radical list renovation, moving on eight or so players, including at least a couple that played in the 2021 flag, or

d. do something else?

Thank you for a wonderful pod each week. I'm a big fan.

 

I've been to 6 games at the MCG this year for 1 win and 5 losses, should I ever attend again or is my fierce support just too distracting for the players?

A sincere well done guys for doing this Pod. I'd be calling if sick if I was a presenter.

Let's park this one for the Season Review pod in a few weeks. I'm trying to not make this podcast too much of a Review/What we need to do to improve.

We'll attempt to cover all of this in the Review pod.

We'll solicit questions and comments in that podcast so please resubmit then as well definitely attempt to answer it.

Blame on coaches and selection … the recipe for how the match would play out was repeated over and over again in the 2nd half of the season. We were told “we” were learning BUT nothing changed until 20 mins into final quarter and then a move in the forward line… coaches clearly never learnt 😡😡


Hi guys, 

Enjoying the podcast. Pity the expectations of success didn't bear fruit.

My question whether for this podcast or the seas review is:  In hindsight can we see evidence of structural change over the 2nd half of the season by Goodwin that he mentioned in his press after the loss? 

Edited by Darkhorse72

Thanks again guys.  Looking forward to the ‘Season Review’ pod in the next few weeks.

Thank you to @kongwacker @AmsterdamDeesFan @Jibroni @Demonised @Watson11 @KLV @Trac-man @BW511 @OhMyDees @Singa @layzie @Deeoldfart @EverDee @Engorged Onion @—coach—

Thank you to our voice messagers Demonlogist, Terrance, Noah & Anonymous Caller

Thank you to my cohosts @george_on_the_outer & @binman.

And thank you to you our loyal listeners.

We'll be back in a few weeks with our Season Review.


Enjoyed the podcast when finally getting a chance to listen this morning.  @binman wondered what our record against top 6 teams away from the G was.  It's 13W-13L, but you should fact check 🙂

Also, at the G over the same period Hawthorn are 10W-1D-11L and Collingwood are surprisingly not much better than us at 8W-1D-18L. I didn't bother to check Richmond as we know it would be ridiculously good.

I was thinking about your question about our record at the g, and in particular your observation about the width of the g.

A big element of our defensive sytem is covering the corridor and stopping teams using it.

We also like to let teams switch, but get accross en masse and stop them at their hb.

Both strategies would presumably be harder to do on a wide ground such as the g.

And conversely, probably easier at a narrow ground like docklands.

Both strategies require strong all team defensive running g and spread, so if, for whatever reason, we are off in this regard, our defensive sytem is vulnerable, particularly if teams move the ball quickly - and particularly at tbe g.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
