We will play finals. There is no doubt about that. Will we be in the ascendancy coming in to them is the bigger question? I believe we will. Top 4 and avoiding playing Brisbane or Power at home is essential.

Also a serious case of finals colliwobbles wouldn't hurt.

I’d happily play Port over there in a final

I really dont have that confidence. 

If we are top 4 we are trending upwards...and who knows...

I really dont like our footy atm...    i cant see a positive.

Neither do I at the moment, but I think things will get better.... If we can fix our forward line. Our smalls have gone quiet. Petty was starting to look good as a forward too.

We also have a pretty good run from here on. That said, it would be great to take out some top teams. We will need some luck with not too many injuries as I don't think our depth is great.

As many will no doubt atest... I'm  a little old school. By that i subscribe to keeping much of anything as simple and relevant as can be. 

A simple rule of thought i was taught years ago.... a goal prevented is worth at very least a goal scored. In the nature of the game it can be more.

I played 95% as a forward...kpf.. a little in the guts as Ruck ( hated it tbh ...i digress )

I was taught footy by some greats...household names of the time... but was eons ago... 

The thinking i suspectof opposition is to negate our goals whils we're a shambles...and we are.

Significantly we're also troubled down  back.   As such we cant control the ledger in either direction.

This is where the Brains Trust need to act...

Fix up one end at least...give us a running chance.  We were brilliant both ends...and the middle.

What exactly does that leave us ?

I'm  picturing the monkey trying to put a plug in one elephant....but the reality is 3 monkeys are needed... and nothing is hapoening

I'm not despondent...is what it is...

Does ANYONE  see us winning any part of the ground ???

Thats tough...  at least it thaws after a few days.

My point was simply too many jump to the assertion that its all gauged as negativity. 

For me its all about the reality...  ...that is then seemed/deemed as either positive or negative by those of the different camps.

Bit like the old glass half full/empty scenario.  I just say its at 50%.....   bit like Melbourne currently. 

All good .

Agree entirely. My realism is often characterised as negativity. Drives me insane

We wouldn't have gotten 29k to Dockland though. Of that 29k, maybe 8k were in the MCC reserve. Throw in the MFC Member who doesn't attend Marvel games anyway and attendance would have been 12k-14k.

May well be true Praha. I still think we would have 18- 20k and that looks and sounds better than 29 at the G. The problem is playing sides like Freo at the G. That game against North would add 10k to the total that  would make it low 40’s and the it would sound better and nothing much would be said.

Dont worry about the positive police.  They want to be positive, that's fine,  but they demand that everyone does the same

  • 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.
