The mood is gloomy resignation.  Not dissimilar to the Ess mood a few weeks ago.

From Bigfooty.

  • * me, can we just forfeit? This could genuinely be 100+. Play all the kids, anyone over 28 except Ziebell can be dropped. Looks like we'll be running out there with about 5 players but at least they should all be AFL quality.
    • lol does it really matter? We’re gonna get done by 100+ no matter whos in
  • BBB will come back from injury and kick 9
  • At least if we bring in some youth and inexperience they bring some fight
    • We’re about to get smashed by well over ten goals, no point debuting anyone..
  • As a north supporter I feel like pain is our middle nameFritz will have an absolute field day.
  • Lever and May to combine for 20 intercept marks
    • Whatever the record is, they’ll beat it.
    • That’s just the first quarter right?
  • feel like it’s as good a time to get the dees…Off a short break, tough close game against tigers should have them sore
    • Sounds logical... Dees by 60.
  • Frisky had a quiet game tonight - red alert in our back 6
  • It’s going to be a blood bath
    • Really? I don't think we will win by that much but I will take your word for it.
  • We were neck and neck with them until time-on in Q3 and lost by 48 points last year. Despite everything, I refuse to believe we’re worse than we were back then.
  • If Dees don't turn up we lose by 60+, if they do turn up 100+

My Favourites:

  • McKay to full forward. If he is going to be a statue be a statue in our goal square so it frees up Larkey
  • This Tarryn Thomas fella looks a player. Seems a class bloke too. Reward his effort with a stint in the ones I think
    • He can't play right now. He needs to finish his homework.

 

Footnote:  each sub indented comment is a response to the point immediately above it.

 

Always wary of a Clarkson coached team and Cunnington always plays well against us.  Dees by 3-6 goals.. just to keep our % ticking over nicely.

Yes, there are a few notable comments.

At least they have mostly kept their sense of humour through the gloom.

 

I think it is finding those gems that keeps me doing these threads - waded through 10 pages of bigfooty to find enough of interest for an opening post...

I can remember myself and others dealing with our own dark years by substituting our own woe and nausea with similar humour. 
 

You just have to. 

Beware of the “easy” games. 
I’m not confident at all that this will be a smashing.

That is why I am wary. 

But couldn't possibly tip against us but to be on the safe side I'm just tipping a modest margin.

They will cover the spread. I hate it but they always go up a gear with us.

Seems to me many an opposition seem to.

This game is as much between the ears as it is ability. 

I'm not convinced we're quite there mentally.

We should be a 10-15 goal better team than this lot. Have no doubt Clarko will spring a trap.

We need to snuff out their exuberance very early or it's another dog's breakfast.

It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it. DL is very grateful Luci.

Rooh's emergence changes the whole team's mood & mindset and offers much incentive as the backs/mids now know they have a genuine target who can clunk marks and kick straight.

Might not happen overnight against the top line clubs but i wouldn't want to be on the other side as a bottom 4 - 6 club as our new forward set up begins to settle, emerge and stabilise. 

Demons by 80+

I'm just glad this isn't being played in TAS. Love tassie, but not for playing Norf. Windy suburban ovals are a leveller. 

They have an extra day recovery and so will have a game plan that tries to maximize this advantage. If they start anything like West Coast and get a sniff, itll be a worrying sign. 

Team will feel disappointed not to give one of their greats in Goldstein a memorable 300 milestone so expect a response.

I hope we pull our finger out and pants them 8-1 goals in the opening quarter and then contain the game from there. If it is left to the last quarter id say we are a 50-50 chance.

I believe we will win but make hard work of it. 5 goals, we don't often have have big scoring wins. We often do enough to win and that is it. 

Despite what most of the idiots in the media say, Norf are not as bad as some make out. Me mate is Norf and I watch them most weeks. There's talent on the list and Clarko will harness it - let it not be this week though.

They are definitely not as bad as they were. They have a decent list and they’re playing with purpose. Like any inexperienced team they’ll be prone to blow outs, but they’ll also challenge sides. They have a good forwardline and a decent midfield. If we walk into the G expecting a win we will end up with the same result as the Essendon game. 

Well I expect a comfortable win. If we can't beat Norf by 40 plus we are kidding ourselves .

They are [censored]. Developing [censored] yes but we need to just do the job!

True, when was the last time we played them at the G though? Seems to always be Docklands or Tassie. Docklands feels like a basketball game half the time the G is a bit different for a younger team.

  • 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.
