Our run home is looking harder by the day with the Hawks thrashing the Pies, the Blues in top form and Swans not giving up on a finals spot. 

Finish second and we'll have done exceptionally well.

I think he’s learning on the job. Got some good operators around him and he may still chat with Roos from time to time. I wasn’t a huge fan until the last 6-8 weeks. Thought he was too one dimensional but this year has really changed my thinking. 

Are you being serious.

You weren't a fan till the last 6-8 weeks?

Goody won a bloody flag two seasons back! 

When did you start supporting the dees? 2022?

Hahaha, sure but they stuffed up last year and plan B was never his strength. With the list we have Prelims are as low as I’m prepared to go. I didn’t sit through 50 years of garbage to watch us waste a generational list. I reckon Choco had a big part of 21

C'mon. Choco?

Wotcha talking about Willis?

Our most successful coach since norm smith for pete sake.

The last time we finished top 4 in three consecutive years was 1958-60.

He stuffed up last year? 

Waste a generational list?

I would have thought as a long time dees fans you'd appreciate how hard it is to win a flag.

We have one. And are likely contenders for several mote years.

All under goody. 

Seriously, he deserves more respect.

You want solid competition going into finals. All are winnable games if we take the right attitude. 
 

The Blues win over Collingwood was good but there is clearly some fitness questions hovering over them atm - we will see their true form v Saints tomorrow.

He’s slowly getting my respect. If we only win one Flag with this list he’ll lose it fast 

If Sydney hold on to beat GWS, they will near-certainly be playing for a finals spot in Round 24 (even if they lose to Adelaide in Round 23).

That game is going to be brutal, I suspect.

Our run home isn't as easy as some would think - Hawthorn have the same number of wins against the top 4 as every single other member of the top 4, Carlton's won 6 straight and is playing top 4 quality football, and Sydney are peaking at the right time.

Meanwhile Port is a goal up on Geelong - likely end Geelong's season but reminds us that we are still favourites to finish 4th, not 2nd (and not 1st either).

I really, really, don't like this argument - when we do well it's Choco (or Yze, or whoever) but when we do poorly it's Goodwin's fault.

Goodwin's win-loss record is comparable to the best modern day coaches. He's taken a club that had struggled for decades and has produced 6 winning seasons out of 7, including 3 (and soon to be 4) finals appearances, at least 2 prelims, and a premiership.

 

2nd spot officially up for grabs tomorrow. 
bring it

If we finish second we’re guaranteed not to travel at all in the finals. Even if we lose week 1.

Assuming Collingwood finish first.

No. If we lose a Qualifying and Collingwood lose the other Qualifying then we would still need to travel for the Prelim.

Can’t take the run home for granted now. 

As we saw today, even the most lowly of clubs is capable of causing an upset and they all would love to take a big scalp.

North may have a pick 1, 2 combo in their minds after watching an improved Eagles performance. A wooden spoon strengthens their compensation bid. Call me a pessimist.

3 weeks ago, second place seemed out of reach. Now it’s very much in play. Jeez this feels a lot like 2021 with everything starting to fall in place at the right time.

Stoked to be at Blundstone tomorrow now. There’s a lot at stake!

You'll see the Dees move to second spot live tomorrow. On % from Lions. 

Enjoy.

Then its ours to lose.


I reckon top spot is on too. Macrae looked lost for words in his presser today.

I knew sides would start to seriously tag Daicos in the back end of the year, and that Collingwood are all or nothing, without nuance to their game, or a plan B. 

Blue print continues to be clog them up at half back, choke them in the corridor and they have few answers.

Pressure is not their friend. They are 13th for contested possessions. Adams and De Goey with only 7 clearances between them. Easy to tag Daicos when nobody is feeding the ball to him. 18-3 centre clearances the Hawks way. 
26-19 stoppage clearances when we played them (minus Clarry). 28-19 stoppage clearances when they played Carlton last week.

Watching Goody today at training I can say with confidence, that you have no clue.

Happy to be clueless in your mind. Ask yourself if this time last year as we played injured players and continued to kick it into the pockets if Goodwin was everything you hoped for.

You're definitely an odd poster mate.

It's like you've stepped out of a cave in the last 10-15 weeks and realised we're a really good team, with a really good coach, but before that we fluked a flag and then somehow managed to finish 2nd last year.

  • 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.
