  • If nothing else this game is the first real test against the elite of the comp.  Will be fascinating to see if our structures hold up.

AHHHHHHHHHH. It still gives a warm glow when we are talked about like that.

    I had to wade through dross to the equivalent of about 25 DL pages to extract this weeks contributions.  Any idea what that is like 🤮 given they are my most hated team!

    The things I do for my fellow DL's😉

    It’s a thread I look forward to every week, Luci, you’re a champion for providing this community service ❤️💙❤️

    I cannot make up my mind; I used to pity them, and across the past 30 years, I actually learned to hate them.

    I’m married to a Carlton supporter, sshhh, I pretend to be neutral about them, but secretly I detest the vile, arrogant and entitled supporters (husband excepted) and club. God help us all when they finally reemerge.

    I was the same, until tonight at the Boundary Hotel in 3165, reminded me what a bunch of self entitled muppets they really are. This old bloke in a family wearing their Essendon scarves to the pub (you're not even playing tonight, you absolute pelicans!), cut in front of me at the bar, completely oblivious to the 6 foot 6 bloke towering above him, clearly next in line. 

    Now, yes, he was a boomer, so one could go down the path of the self entitled boomer etc etc, but I'd prefer not to play idpol on the generational welfare stuff. That gets us nowhere. I am however quite happy playing idpol with football supporters and there's just something about Essendon plonkers. Despite being irrelevant for almost two decades, they're still the smarmiest of the lot. 

    And yes, I got my drink eventually.

    Haha, so you let an old don's supporter push in front of you in a queue for a beer - and you are 6 foot 6 and yet you did nothing?

    And you wonder why these essendon supporter "muppets" feel "self-entitled".

    As a young 67yr old boomer myself, I would have pushed back past the plick in a very loud voice proclaiming "I'm next". Mrs Dw says I will get stabbed one day but I say "Fork Em".

    Oh, and sorry I don't care how tall you are!

    I get what you're doing. Saying you hate them makes them feel as if they're still relevant. Saying you pity them hurts them far more 👏

    Absolutely. The pain of the pity during the dark days used to hurt so bad. I can’t wait to feel the glory of the hatred

    Clarke

    And Jack Clarke is credited with being the first coach to rotate his 3 talls within the forward line.  By contrast Norm Smith often played a decoy forward so as to create opportunities and space for his other forwards

    At the same time Peter Pianto (Cats coach) was the first to introduce the forward press ... a tactic he borrowed from soccer

    I was too young to see these tactics enacted first hand, more so gleaned knowledge from what I've read and from what I've heard from ol' mate Dave

    As for Essendon, I've often admired a number of their players (Hird, Madden, Tim Watson, Van der Haar et al) but I cannot stand their supporters

    A 1 point win against this mob would be sweet!!  Or a thrashing!!

    Not worth it, pretty sure they now believe they are flag contenders or something of that ilk.

    • 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.
