What a win given the outs. 

And also given how scrappy we were at times and how many silly decisions we made.

Great start, next week is a huge test. Kosi will be missed for the next 3 weeks. 

 

I haven't seen any replays of the Kozzie "incident" - sure it was late and maybe reckless but as far as could see at the game no head contact and no adverse outcome to the collidee.    

So what does that mean in MRO points or whatever raffle they are doing this year? This week?  This game?  He elected to bump but did no harm?  (But nor did Moloney.)

Are we going to be the victims of absence of precedent once again?

No issues with the playing surface tonight 

Yes , to quote paul simon slip slidin away . Thought a lot of slipping

 

Very impressed with Judd McVee his rise has been meteoric this season hopefully he can continue and not do a Gysbert.

I presume those saying Kozzie will get weeks we’re watching on tv and that was what the commentators said?

At the game that just looked like a stupid late contact that amounted to nothing. Smith gave Kozzie a tap on the but as he went back for his free kick. Even the replay looked hard but not head high.


Great to be back at the footy, especially when we play like that. The skills, especially the kicking, were so much better than last year (save for a couple of wobblers!). We also looked so fit.

A nice highlight for me was deep into the last quarter, when McVee (who looked gassed) willed himself to a contest with English and spoiled the ball out of touch. Brayshaw ran over and gave him the biggest bear hug, like he’d just kicked the winner. He’s going to be something - what a pick up.

Well that was fun, wasn't expecting 50 points.

I am not a great fan of leaving some of your best players (Oliver and Kozzie) on the bench at the start of a quarter.  Thats why the Dogs had the early momentum in the second.

A solid performance across the field.

Thought Jake Bowey was absolutely excellent tonight as was Mcvee. 

Gee in the last quarter we were running on top of them, looked like we could have played another 4 quarters, excellent signs!!

Wasn't a punch but what does the dog expect.
Kozzie to roll over for a free remonstrate?

Looked like Tomo pre knee!

Exactly 

Someone reminded me a few players have taken until 2nd year from knee to get back to for. Hopefully Thomo build on a pretty good start!

I'm a big fan, but I concede I'd thought he was pretty much done

Disappointed Tom McDonald couldn't kick that goal to replicate the 2021 grand final ending 

He won us the Grand Final !

Willie Rioli got off similar last year

I thought that was fair enough myself.
Rioli was after the mark, realised he wasn't gonna get there and tucked up.
Split second thing.

Good on him

He got up from the Smith bump and appeared to apologise and Smith patted him on the bum appearing to accept apology

Then the cavalry arrived to remonstrate

Looks like McRae walked into one

Macrae should go for headbutting, the dogs have form

Tim English wanted no piece of Bowser 

Thought Lever really stood up in Mays absence.

Bowey is Mr reliable

Kozzie has arrived as a complete player, looks bigger and more powerful and will be a nightmare match up, as if they didn’t have their hands full already with Clarry and Trac.

TMac looked out of sorts , but it’s a positive to kick a winning score with TMac down and Fritter out. BBB will hold down that Full forward spot bar injury.

Interesting TOG stats. 

Lever, Petty and Tomlinson all 100%. Next was Langdon on 89%. Which means everyone other than our three key defenders got at least 11% time on the bench. 

IIRC we often had Langdon and other runners in the 90s for TOG last year. I’m hoping we learnt some lessons about resting players. 

And Langdon on the MCC wing 😱


Also how good was the roar when BBB kicked that goal wide open in the last!

Strong showing from the dees faithful tonight!!

Nup not on 4 possesions sorry but at this stage not up to it

So you're writing him off after one game? Seriously???

Spargo was good tonight. Another one if your 'not up to it' players,  hey?

And playing half forward. With Nibbler take a big stretch of wing minutes.

We won’t be able to go with 2 (or 3) small wingers against certain sides in big games, I love that they’re working on versatility now 

Anyone know what spurred Gawn to giving Baker a gobful in that 3rd quarter?

    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

    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.
