Just remembered we have the swans next week, essentially being a reverse of our finals games last year. And we again have that fear as to which demons team will turn up next week, and injuries 😔

It's starting to feel like, despite moulding ourselves around contested ball, we just struggle really badly in more physical games. Some of our more highly rated players,  e.g. Petracca, just get massively fumbly in high intensity games.

I thought we were the 2nd best team in it last year and should have made the GF...but maybe we finished up where we belonged. We might just have caught a lucky break in 21 getting 3 teams in the finals that weren't playing really physical football. Who knows...but Sydney, just like Collingwood, are a terrible match up for us as they'll fight physically from start to end...and I'm not sure anymore that our guys are up to that kind of contest. Success in this sport is hugely aligned to your ability to apply and absorb physical pressure.

    I honestly think today was a constant string of things that didn’t go our way. Salem, May, then Max. I also think the conditions worked against us, and worked really well for Brisbane. We are a much cleaner side than this usually.

    Let’s not get sucked in by tonight. It’s been a rare one.

    I agree with the points you made but quick fast ball movement will win games this year, our inside 50 entries are still a mess. We may have straightened things up but we’re kicking to congested areas.  Clear the fwd 50 a bit. Kosi a massive loss.

    We actually barely warmed up when we came out...

    Fingers crossed no injuries.

    Thanks Webber.

    FWIW I hear that this is the opposite knee to the one he has had recommended x2

    That’s probably good, but doesn’t mean the ACL is safe. The incident itself looked innocuous enough as a ‘valgus’ force, meaning the inside of the knee was ‘stretched’. My immediate thought was medial ligament (MCL). There was however a bit of ‘external tibial rotation’ (foot fixed as knee rotates inwards), potentially implicating the ACL. Medial meniscal tears will also sometimes come with MCL tears. Patience is required.

    Only 12 more injuries in 12 minutes can top this day off. 


    Booing lions supporters. What great sports they all are.

    Enjoy your backward music with your state of art electrical grid.

    For every goal we kick, they need to kick 1.5+ goals for the recommencement to benefit them more than us.

    Oliver ball watching is bizarre. Is he sick? Serious question

    Just go for goal ffs 

    We have certainly learned from this debacle, that "just kick it long" does NOT work.

      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.
