I hear you but a practice game is just a practice game. ย They looked pretty good today.

I'd give much more weight to the 6 H&A games they've played since then

I guess time will tell picket.

I came to the same conclusion!

Saints are a serious team. Disciplined, well drilled, defensively minded. Their three key defenders, relative unknowns, are dominating. Their small forwards are doing the job. One of my pet hates is AFL fans falling for star individuals over collective team effort/system. Blues had Cripps, Walsh, Curnow, McKay, Weitering, Cerra, etc and were no match for the Saints.

Bailey Humphrey on as the sub and having a big last quarter. Some nice skills and has kicked two goals. Starting to see why JT was so keen on him.ย 


Fair to say the opposition isn't much chop, but Bailey Humphrey looks a real talent.

four more goals and they will pass them today.

AFL website is saying Nth have had 107 interchanges out of 75... I have missed something or do they get extra interchanges?

ย 

Gee I'd be disappointed if next week we can't do a real percentage job on nth after what gc did to them today.ย 

Not a memorable 300th for Goldsteinย 

St Kilda could be the real deal. Don't get all up in my face with what you perceive to be a lack of quality opponents they've faced. The key word is 'could'ย

I think they ARE the real deal and theyโ€™ve beaten three teams that are at least 3-3 with two of those sides being in the top 4 at the time of playing them.

Lolโ€ฆsome Carlton fans on the forums want a mini rebuild and a coaching change. You have just have to laugh at some reactions directly after a match.

At least we donโ€™t overreact here at Demonland.

Random stat, but George Hewett had 29 disposals for only 30 metres gain.

How is that even possible?? Just seems incredibly low for so many possessions.ย 

Edited by dazzledavey36

Hewett's not the worst in that category, but he's right up (down?) there.

FEWEST METRES GAINED BY PLAYERS WITH MORE THAN 25 DISPOSALS*
Jaeger Oโ€™Meara - 25 disposals for -1m gained (Rd 23, 2017)
Jack Macrae - 30 disposals for 1m gained (Rd 2, 2016)
Cameron Guthrie - 33 disposals for 21m gained (Rd 22, 2014)
Daniel Cross - 28 disposals for 22m gained (Rd 1, 2012)
Matt Crouch - 25 disposals for 29m gained (Rd 5, 2016)
George Hewett - 29 disposals for 30m gained (Rd 6, 2023)^


I would imagine the reason metres gained is so low is that most of his possessions were either a kick or a handball backwards or across the ground or a handball to a teammate running past.ย  I'm guessing "metres gained" is only counted when the disposal sends the ball forwards (towards goal) or the player is running forwards with the footy.

How does one gain negative meters?

His first movement is backwards and that is why.ย

I don't think the fact that some of their opponents were top 4 at the time of playing them means a whole lot in the first 6 weeks.

Right now Fremantle and Carlton don't look like finals sides. So their wins over the Dogs and Essendon look good. But even then, I'm not sure Essendon will keep it going all year.

Plus they're yet to play a non-Gather Round interstate game.

Collingwood IMO is miles in front of any other side for flag favouritism. Geelong's beaten two (not even) VFL-quality sides and a Sydney side missing its back and forward lines. St Kilda see above. I'm unsure on Essendon keeping their form for another 18 weeks. Sydney's depth is non-existent and unlike previous years they're going to need it in 2023. Brisbane will win enough H&A games but they still don't defend well and have to get better away from the Gabba. Adelaide struggled to beat Hawthorn and strike me as a massive flash in the pan style side. Port Adelaide are hot/cold. Carlton have problems all over the place.

As for us? Well, I don't know. But I know we're not as good as Collingwood.

I am finding myself thinking that Ross Lyon is โ€˜the mostโ€™ watchable post match presser coach goiania around.ย

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
