    Hey but if Dusty gets back to his best they might win the whole entire premiership according to some!

    Wait, he missed anyway but the umpire didn’t bring back dusty in line with the mark???? So players can choose their own line of goal now?

    Dusty is allowed to. Nobody else though.

    The best aspect about this result is not only that both teams miss out on two valuable premiership points but also that it instills great doubt in Carlton players and fans that they'll be any  good in pressure moments in future.

    Cripps threw the ball 3 times for no whistle. Dropped it at least another 3 times, for no whistle.

    Don’t let anyone ever tell you that the umpires don’t have favourites.

    That said, he is a great player.

    I'm not quite as negative on the overall game as some here are. If I were from either of these supporters bases, apart from having less teeth and a larger belly, I would be:

    • Richmond supporter - very worried that they're staring at an abyss over the next few years.
    • Carlton supporter - encouraged by the performance of their youngsters: De Koning, Cowan, Hollands.

    I get he is at StKilda working & probably a bit salty how he left Carlton but surely he could have swallowed his pride & had a photo with his son for his 100th. The family photo looks a tad awkward without SOS there.

    Surely he's a father first, especially with the family history with Carlton

    I heard SOS was watching a VFL practice game as part of his role at St Kilda and didn't get to the G until about when the game started.

    I thought Carlton lacked structure in its gameplan last night with Richmond continuing its helter skelter gameplan.

    Geelong and Collingwood gameplans are/were very different. I wonder which one will succeed this evening

    Doesn't make sense though Binman. Rd 1, all the hard yards in pre season, shouldn't they be in ripping nick?

    Sure. 

    But the way that game was played, with the ball in constant motion and players having to run back and forward all game is incredibly taxing.

    As you suggest, neither team will be in as good a nick at any future point in the season as they are right now.  Which is a key reason why, based on how both failed to run out the game, i don't think either team will make the 8 . 

    The game plan most teams will employ this season requires all 22 players to be at, or close to peak fitness. That only happens if almost all players have uninterrupted, unhindered January and February preseasons and miss very few (ideally none) sessions are missed.  

    And of course, even if that happens some teams, like us, will have superior athletes and potentially superior training programs. Maybe some teams do more endurance work or put in more ks. Such teams will have a fitness advantage.

    I don't know how the tiger's preseason went - did many players miss sessions or couldn't get the clicks in? They looked to run out of puff late in quarter against us and were spent at the end of last nights game. Doesn't augur well. 

    There was an article Andy put up in late Jan tracking how each club was traveling injury wise and it noted Carlton had multiple players struggle with injury (in addition to Walsh and Wiliams who were rehabbing) and i presume missed sessions.

    Maybe that's why they looked to slow the game down as much as possible and make it a kick mark game (ie they know they have not achieved optimal fitness)?

    • 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.
