There is a LOT of "kick long and hope" into both forward lines going on. Atrocious forward play. Brainless. And boring.

Much like our finals. 

Hopefully we have sorted it out

    Hmm I get the feeling of Deja vu watching the Tiges and Boos going around tonight. Bit like watching a Dees intra club pre season game from 5 years ago. A lot of intent but bad execution.

    None of these teams are top 8 material from what I’ve seen let alone top 4 as some have predicted. 
     

    Time for this game as season kick off to end. I love the GF rematch as the season opener.

    Based on the evidence of the first half we have both these teams covered easily.

    Both defences winning and skills not really on point. Given it’s round 1, not much can be taken going further into the season.

    Feels like this is an ‘in context’ game. Have to wait to see what the rest of the round has to show to gauge how good/bad this is.

    Richmond have obviously spent more time in the off season practicing how to tap to each other rather than kick to each other.

    Both sides look like fringe finals teams

    Prestia looks a million bucks, he has fantastic agility for someone with no hamstrings and meatballs in his blood

    Taranto is a horrendous player with skill level which would be embarrassing in the VFL

    Yes I know it is Round 1, but that was a putrid quarter of Football

    Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

    Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

    I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

    Cotchin is shot. 

    Shai Bolton - yes please.

    Cowan looks like a prospect 

    Was bizarre he lasted until 30 in the draft. He’s a good prospect and won the Morrish medal. Looks like he’ll have a solid career.

    This game has been trash.

    what’s up with Curnow?? he got out worked in a marking contest by Rioli! 

    i thought he would explode this season

    Dusty has been an average player post 2020. He’s not in the top 50 players anymore. He doesn’t have the extra gears anymore and just looks to get rid of it like hit potato as he can’t shrug the body contact anymore. 

    Obviously had a great career, but guys like him and Cotchin are basically cactus now.

    • 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.
