GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon

Everyone complaining about Kayo. Pay a bit extra a month for Foxtel. Better value and a better overall football experience.

Anyway, Essendon got 4 goals either directly from free kicks or from free kicks up the ground. Most probably there but debateable given they weren't called both ways.

They are targeting our backline because of no Lever, pretty obvious.

Their strings of possesion were very concerning. Especially given they aren't a very fast team.

Draper tearing us up is giving me an aneurysm. If Stringer gets involved next, I'll vomit.

    We have a few worries but are only a only eight points down. The resting ruckman for Essendon is causing problems isolating Tomlinson.

    When van Roo rucks we're getting thrashed in the middle.

    Petty's form and now injury is a big concern.

    TMac looks off.

    McVee probably needs to use the first option.

    Brayshaw doing very well.

    Clarry only two possessions at quarter time. Unprecedented!

    When your ruckman has more possessions than your best mids they’re a problem!

    Essendon played out of their skin, hopefully we grind them down and run away with it in the second half.

     

    We look lazy and entitled at times.

    They are getting a lot of momentum from free kicks (most of them are deserved but hard to maintain that over 4 quarters)

    Our stars and match winners need to lift.

    Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide. 

    Exactly, they can't keep scoring from centre clearance surely

    It’s a lot more money. Money we can’t afford. I can barley justify $30 for Kayo.

    Melksham kicking a bag against the Bombers would make a win that bit more special.

    I had Kayo for a month and then got rid of it. Pathetic service

    Oliver having a mare. What is happening?

    Petty stinking it up too. Not good enough. 

    Grundy not on the line, he really runs his own race

    Setterfield did a number on him at Carlton last year too I think.

    • 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

      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.
