I’ve got no idea who wins today. I was supremely confident in the QF last year but they taught us lesson. All I know is that we’ll learn a lot about how we will go this year depending on the outcome of this game. This is an old fashion litmus test and audit of our game plan.

    I am stunned.

    Lose Grundy and Spargo can ruck.

    To then be risking JVR in his first game in the ruck, where we know knee injuries are common, would be unbelievable.

    If Tom hasn’t come up, we could have used Tommo as the sub, forward, back or even ruck.

    I'm genuinely just as stunned.

    3 weeks in a row now for Melksham even after a pretty pathetic performance from nearly a full game last week.

    It's obvious now they're trying desperately hard to get him to 100 games for the MFC which whatever... but it should have been spread out throughout the year.

    20 games to go in the home and away season after this one. Just saying!

    pies and swans look like the two teams to beat atm, but we know this changes through the season. 

    We we were 10-0 last year (and the year before). Couldn’t sustain that momentum either year, but recovered it in 2021 (helped by a good run with injuries). 

    it would be great to win without Max and Kozi, and would give us some confidence that we probably need to have when we play the Swans later in the year when it counts for more. 

    But, jeez, some perspective on this site would be nice! 

     

    Nah mate, this result dictates whether we are a serious contender or not

    If Spargo is kicking for goal after the siren from 40 out to win us the game, which side of the big and little sticks the ball floats if it makes the distance, will decide our fate for 2023

    Was at the game last year and Sydney’s kicking and marking tore us to shreds. Took us out of the game aerially all over the ground and their connection from backline to forward line made it so they could go end to end without us touching the ball. Much like last week, they had time and space to execute their skills. 
     

    We have to be the hunters! Apply pressure for 4 quarters, make them feel like they have no time and hit bloody hard around the ball. One thing you had to admire about hawthorns 3 flag teams, they had a mindset/attitude where they wouldn’t allow themselves to be hunted or physically beaten 2 games in a row. 
     

    I do believe we won’t be nearly as poor with skills/being fumbly today so I’m not worried about that, it’s coming out and not allowing Sydney to play their way. That’s how we beat them. 
     

    [censored] go out and smash em Dees, I want to see fire!!!

    I'm in the camp that if we don't either win or lose playing well then Goodwin is the problem. Yes he may of coached a Premiership but with the list he has.......SHOW ME THE MONEY!

    That being said I think we'll win well 25 points

    Shocked Tmac isn’t the sub. I have no idea what we do if we lose a tall. I hope the coaches do.

    he needs to get form back. he already has 17 touches 10 marks and a goal. T Mac getting back into form is much more important that who sits on the bench for likely 3 Quarters 

    we are playing the long game which is best i reckon.

    I love Kozzie but that hit was a total brain fade and he's let his team down.

    He's young so he gets a pass . Just hope he learns from it, appreciates the club sticking by him and resigns.

    We need his X factor. 

    Umm....signs up again. My bad.

    Is this really what you think? That Petracca is slow and Clarry can’t hit a target by hand? No idea how we won a premiership with such a slow unskillful group. 

    Yeah unfair on Oliver.

    Kossie is quick and I didn't say Trac was slow.

    Hitting a target by hand means they don't pick it up off their ankles

    Going to be interesting to see how Grundy goes today without Max.

    Well Grundy is a proven A grade ruckman and does not need to live in the shadow of Max Gawn. Only question is his form and fitness after playing only a couple of games in a year.

    Not quite sure what will happen today, much like before the Bulldogs game. Just want us to be the aggressive contested beast we all got used to before the middle/end of last year.

      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.
