I was really happy for Chandler he settled straight into the game he showed his toughness and as Dazzle mentioned his elite kicking skills inside 50, he worked hard and was relentless in a fast flowing game. He really should have nailed that shot after the siren but did enough for a starting 22 next week.!!!

Just watched the mini package on Kayo. Plenty of highlights from chandler. Blocking kicks off the mark, goal assists, tackles and slotted a nice goal off his left in the 3rd. only blot was the missed set shot but their were worse misses on the night.

You have to reward that performance. He should be given a run of 3-4 games from here.

really impressed the way he threw his weight around against in contests against much bigger players.

The impending Pickett suspension should see him get a good run of games in.

So @DeeSpencer, Kade just scored an AFLCA vote for his performance, in the resounding win against a rated opposition in the Swans:

9 Clayton Oliver (MELB)

7 Christian Petracca (MELB)

6 Ed Langdon (MELB)

6 Brodie Grundy (MELB)

1 Lachie Hunter (MELB)

1 Kade Chandler (MELB)

 

Surely his value is up above the $2.00 Mark now?

With 8-9 guys running through the Midfield Chandler will have a serious spot in the side this year

Mistakes were made last year. 


Given a fair run at it, Kade has settled admirably with his confidence growing weekly. Now the radar is set he is delivering offensively on top of a sound defensive game. Given the degree of difficulty, he kicked some clutch goals against the swannies. Refreshing to see some new faces up forward this season. May the goals keep coming.

Hit a record high of $2.45 after the coaches votes, but has now settled at $2.25.

Work rate, strong hands and good tackle numbers are all positives. Hitting the scoreboard well. Decision making with the ball seems to have settled down.

Would still like to see a bit more speed and pressure.

 

From around the 0:57 mark there is some great behind the goals vision, showing how far Chandler ran to get on the end of the chain for his 3rd quarter goal.

That play and his subsequent goal swung all the momentum back in our favour after Sydney got within a kick.

dude sitting in front of me turned around after that and was all "my god he SPRINTED from wing to wing then down it into 50 then back to the other side to mark that..."

incredible workrate

What a brilliant video! Actually outlining some of the great running he does. 

If you don't know now you know!

would love to see more of this vision more often. 

Great run KC

Some people should be embarrassed with their cringeworthy posts in this thread and lack of footy knowledge

In the first three games this year Kade is ranked elite in 6 different categories according to greg Stafford.

Outstanding young man who has played brilliantly in a very difficult role as a small forward.

Has become a lock in our best 22 imo.

Just works so hard for the entire four quarters constantly pushing up the ground.

Has become a real asset for the team.

Just so happy for him. Did his time. Never complained. Was always just so happy for his senior teammates. Improved his craft and now he’s flying. You just love to see that! 


The cat is out of the bag regarding opposition scrutiny. You never know, the enemy might need to tag him !

Just add him to the list of other team mates that warrant a tag.

Even if didn't get the goal or even a possession, it still would of been impressive because he was prepared to do hard gut running with 100% commitment even though there was only a possibility of a goal or possession

Fast becoming a favourite of mine. He is one of those players who is always nipping at your ankles. Chases, harasses, tackles then gets up and creates an option moving forward and kicks goals. I’d love to see a bit of mongrel in his game and get in the oppositions face occasionally. Not sure that is his style tho..

A little more mongrel, or even arrogance, and I think he could be our version of Tom Papley - who most opposition supporters hate but Swans fans love.  Papely makes most teams nervous but then can bring his teammates to life running around like a excited toddler after he kicks a goal. If Chin can bring that into his game he'd also help the likes of Kossie because there's automatic extra attention paid elsewhere.

He is what he is and we should be happy. He’s tough and hard at the contest. That’s good enough. 
Mongrels are born. Don’t believe you can suddenly develop Mongrel. Toby Greene was born that way. No one coached him to add the mongrel component. 


His running ability and desire is what sets him apart from the others fighting for a spot right now.

First three rounds this year Chandler is ranked elite in the following categories:

  • Goal Accuracy
  • Goal Assists
  • Score Involvements
  • Tackles inside 50
  • Kick Efficiency
  • Marks
  • Ranking Points

My mistake, its seven categories that he ranks elite for.

This.

On the subject, check out his reaction in the background when JVR got his holding the ball free prior to his third goal. Great stuff.

    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.
