BURN THE TAPES

Burn my eyes!

 

Having the extra tall defender helped Lever and May tonight.

Now can we get a key forward in please...

The dog just walked up in front of the tv and wiped his butt on the rug. [just wasn’t quick enough to get a photo]. 
Not pretty but effective.  Important 4 points.
Now the dog is scratching the blind to say it’s time for a wee and bed, so let’s shift focus to next week for a GF preview.

McVee! Is he the future skillful midfielder we're looking for? Josh Kelly-esque

Could be. I think this sometimes. When I see us play like sh*t most weeks. I see McVee out there hitting targets. He could be that mid next year.

Really good game from our perspective. Got that solidity behind the ball back. Really good signs.

Contested possession +148.

inside 50s +20.

clearances +9.

Smashed them all over the ground. I don’t know what most people want from the team. Without looking, I assume it’s just groupthink from the Gameday thread.

It was an ugly game but not an ugly performance. Did plenty of things right just didn't execute well. I'm sure they will put it behind them.

This week our key focus was forward connection and cleaning up efficiency 😂

I would argue we took another step back on both of those metrics.  That was horrible to watch, I can totally understand why some Dees fans are loathe to attend games if this is what is being served up.

We have learnt nothing from years of bombing the ball forward, it just won't sink in.  

Goods:  Defence was excellent.  Trac was immense, Fritsch and Lever pleasingly back into form and the people who kept calling for JVR to 'have a rest' clearly have no idea.  One thing he hasn't looked is tired.

Won't be revisiting this one.  Another week of practising forward entries on the track before Collingwood tears us a new one!

Some good signs back. Won clearances and contested possessions well. Poor set shot kicking kept Carlton in the game.

Back-line was great tonight. Forward line did well to keep the ball inside 50. Thought we were on top for most of the game the connection is just not quite right at the moment. Still eleven games to go before finals.


4 points good.

Gamus horibilus.

Not huge amount to like. But the performance of the kids McVee, Sparrow, Bowey, JvR and to an extent Rivers was pleasing.

I am worried about Kozzie though. One highlight goal and not much else.

Maxy got back into form the second half of that game I felt. Started taking big grabs again. Good signs for him. He plays well, everyone else plays well. 
 

Onwards to the pies. 


Gosh just love Maxy.  From wheeling little Charlie the kid they've had around the club this week into the team song huddle, to a positive but humble interview.  Although in the course of writing this he made a terrible joke about trying to pay Jordan to say something positive 😂

When you sober up I suggest you watch the replay, you might see how it really went...

Tomlinson was just ok on a very good player, but he freed up Lever which made our backline look 9000 times better. We have to keep another tall down there to make sure he can play his natural intercept game. It’s so critical to how we play. 

Regulation win, hardly got out of first gear.

Go Dee’s. 🔴🔵


Sure McKay had 9 marks and 3 goals but several of his marks were unstoppable and Tomlinson's  presence allowed the back half talls to work as a unit - in particular Lever was back towards his intercepting best.

JVR continues to impress.

McVee, Salem, Rivers and Bowey until injured are such a cohesive unit - never worry when they have the ball.

But on the positive side, we won the clearances!

Here we go again stats......lol

At the risk of sounding like a parrot I think it t would be good to get BB back into the team next week.

And van roo was excellent

Can we keep Tomlinson in the side and play Schache over Smith next week?

Clearly missed the game - I'm jealous.

  • 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

    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.
