Very taxing day/night for you OD, but good on you for making the effort to be there. 💕

It was a very good night WCW. Come winter it will be sadly TV for me. Good timing I am off to NZ for the next game. 

 

Never watch the sunday footy show on channel 9.

Thought I'd flick it on to see them talk about the dees.

Instead I just suffered through 10 mins of some stupid supposedly comedic quiz.

I was worried he'd hurt himself flying for that speccy a few mins earlier as he got up gingerly.
When he flipped back onto his feet I knew he was ok.

I can't remember a better ruckman than Gawn.
Teasdale and Round won Brownlows when I was a kid.
Simon Madden was a great ruck who went forward, took big marks and kicked goals.
Footscray had a big ruckman they used wax lyrical about but I can't remember his name.
Had burn scars and always wore long sleeves.
But I can't say I remember too much about their games.
Doubt Trac, Gawn or Clarry will win a brownlow as they take too many votes off each other.
But they'll deserve one.
Multiple flags will just have to do I s'pose.

Yeah, but was he as great as Gawn?
I know he wasn't a premiership captain 😉

And they wonder why ratings are low. It is like the game last night with all the [censored] before the start. Isn't the game enough?

There's a reason I don't tune in till they bounce the ball.

Folks have talked about fitness but did you see Petracca flip off the ground, off his back onto his feet. Never seen that happen on the footy field. Now try doing that in the backyard. It is impossible for most of us,  it requires incredible strength and flexibility in the core. That was my highlight. No wonder he is impossible to tag. A raging bull. Once in a generation. Oh, maybe we have two or three once in a generation players. It’s like looking back and saying how lucky you were to see Barassi or all those other champs from those days. We are very lucky to see our current crop of players. 

I just did, Ernie. My chooks all ran for cover and my son’s threatening to have me committed.

Thanks for clarifying,  now I get it👍

No worries!

It's kind of funny because people also think winning by a higher margin is the most important thing when it comes to boosting percentage but keeping the opposition to a low score counts for a lot too.

I don't think the Dogs are a fellow contender, a genuine middle of the road team with that defense.

Crowd was 48k last night, for those there what do you think the split was? On tv the crowd looked good and seemed like we were far louder than they were. Our games often look bad on tv because our supporters are all in the northern stand but the southern stand seemed pretty packed last night on level 1 and 2.

The AFL members stand was almost empty as neither mfc nor bulldogs have many AFL members.  That stand is always nearly empty at our Home games vs smaller clubs and i/state clubs.  When it is fuller at our games it is opp fans.


Agree too much hype - trying to follow Gridiron, when AFL footy the game stands on its own!

Went to Super Bowl recently great experience but 4.5 hours duration, 60 mins game of which ball only in play for 11-12 minutes of 4.5 hours, so needs a lot of gift wrapping and BS noise, to make it an event.

AFL under 3 hours, game typically 120 mins, ball in play 80 mins, we don’t need all the BS!

AFL best sport to watch by a country mile!

Has there been any discussion of Clarry's kicking the ball over the fence? (I avoid the game day thread religiously).  What motivated him?

Were you ....err... scantily clad at the time WCW?

 

Just asking.

At least we didn't have that blaring music at the breaks!  Big improvement.

Good to see our AFLW team do a Premiership lap of honour.  But disappointed that the applause wasn't what was deserved.

That was so close to us the ball nearly took our heads off. The look on his face was one of frustration, from memory that was in the middle of the Dogs best patch.

He was a wonderful ruckman to watch. Len Thompson too.

Different era, almost a different game back then

Yes they didn't have anywhere near the fitness of modern players. One reason they were part time players.

Was Bailey Laurie subbed out for being injured or otherwise?

 

Otherwise. He only had the 4 disposals and got subbed out. 

The sub rule has changed this year so it is no longer to cover injury, but can be used tactically as desired.

I think he was always getting subbed out for Melksham anyway. But wasn’t setting the world on fire so it was the right call regardless.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
