    Geelong getting smashed but are +12 in f50s - no Cameron or Hawkins though. Get those matchups right and you go a long way to beating the reigning premiers 

    Hawkins sooner or later is going to fall off the perch. This year may just maybe that year.

    Dunkley, Ashcroft, Gunston In…. They’ll be hard to beat this yr

    And we picked up Hunter and Grundy. The Lions beat us in the semi last year and now we’ll never hear the end of it. A 13 point victory, with the injuries we had. That’s the only game they can salvage from the last 4 years of final. The Lions get off on flogging the weaker sides and the media jumps on board. This year the Lions should only be judged on how they play against us, Geelong, Sydney and Collingwood. Freo and Richmond to a lesser extent.

    FT | It may only be pre-season, but Brisbane Lions have made a powerful flag statement against Geelong Cats.

    That was the headline by Fox Footy on FB, ridiculous.

    Exactly, the blow torch needs to be applied to every game they have against top line opposition. 

    All signs point to them being hard to beat but they must shed the flakey tag.

    Didn’t they lose Marcus Adams to concussion? If not him it was another key defender and I personally believe Andrews is a touch overrated.

    No you're right it was Adams. Sounds like he's really struggling with that head knock he got late last year which is pretty disturbing actually.

    Andrews is akin to Lever and would struggle to be the main post down back.

    We’ve had the no.1 defence for the last 2 seasons. 
    Not sure how our midfield has ranked the last couple of seasons but I’m guessing it would have been in the top 4. With the addition of Hunter & Grundy along side Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Viney and Gawn I’d like to think we will have a top 2 if not the best midfield in the comp. 
    We have the best medium sized fwd in Fritsch and arguably the best small in Pickett (some would argue Stengle and fair enough). Brown is obviously nearing the end but is still serviceable and TMac can hold his own without staring. 
    I’m in a group chat and bet with mates with my mates, one a Pies and one a Swans supporter. One thinks Melbourne hands down has the best list and the other thinks it’s between us and Geelong. But one thing we all agree on is that anything other than a premiership for the Dees is a massive fail.

    Wasn’t saying we won’t be hard to beat.
     

    I just think they have a really good list (underperformed last 24 months) that got significantly better in the off-season. Their defence and what is between the ears the question marks though.

    2 seasons is a long time to be underperforming, but have they? They dominate by big margins every team placed 6th through to 18th. IMO they’ve been a good side but never been great. 
     

    Agreed, I think their defence is overrated. 
     

    Also agreed, I think they don’t don’t like being hit hard, they strike me as a team that really have to build themselves up for a tough game which they would have against us in the semi final last year but couldn’t sustain it two weeks running, they held on against Geelong (just) being 4 goals down at 1/2 time only to 9 goals down by 3/4 time.

    Top 4 finish 2021 and then a prelim last yr (with 2 finals wins and 15 regular-season wins) - they’ve hardly been awful. 

    I just reckon they get better this year from an already-strong position.

    • 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.
