I wish more Demonlanders would come around to that line of thinking.

I agree. But what I want to see is us capitalising on our position.

Considering the injuries to key players this year in Gawn & Oliver, even though we havenโ€™t beaten much (apparently) we are getting it done.

Amazing how the media never mentions that.

Probably should be talking about Petracca's game more.

32 possessions, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 7 clearances, 15 ground ball gets (next highest for either side was Walsh with 8), 9 score involvements but also 27 pressure acts, 11 of which were in the defensive half, all from 83% game time. Did it on offence and defence. Truly superb.

Heโ€™s really stood up (even more than normal), in the absence of Clarry. Reckon heโ€™d be keen to have bestie back next week.ย

I agree, I thought he was superb last night. His defensive pressure was excellent. I loved seeing him in the defensive half, working really hard - played a big part in restricting them to 44 points I reckonย

I sort of like it how we are going under the radar with mainstream media at this stage of the season.ย

Maybe, but the speed and skill at which Coll rebound will make May, Lever and Tommo poo their pants. Those guys tend to fumble, spill easy marks and lay clumsy tackles when under immense pressure. May is hopeless below his knees, Lever a butter fingers for marks when worried and Tommo works in slo mo. Great against a crappy side, not so much against top 4 sides

Unless you need to write us off as a coping mechanism, I have no idea why you would choose to see it that way. The bombers game is literally the only match where your comment has validity, and the entire team were down that day.ย 

Extended break, huge crowd, underdog status, nothing to loose. I think we're upto our eyeballs in this one

I've already mentioned this before but going into this round we'd scored 33%-odd from those three games, which were 27% of the games we'd played. So the discrepancy isn't huge and isn't anywhere near big enough to mean that we can't score against other sides, because that's clearly untrue.

I suspect you don't like stats but on expected scores last night we won by 40-odd. Had we kicked some of the basic shots we missed, and won by 30+, there would be significantly less angst on here.

People like watching Carlton lose, must be a ratings winner.

Me and me mate design our weekend activities around the following:

  • when are Melbourne playing
  • when are Carlton playing.

If Harmesy does cop a week, thereโ€™s one positive thing to come from itโ€ฆ he wonโ€™t be playing his 150th on KB. That means heโ€™ll potentially be playing it at Mordor (๐Ÿคฎ), but at least heโ€™ll get the attention and appreciation he deserves and the entire banner dedicated to him. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

I know Harmesy has his flaws, but I just love him so much.

I've seen the Harmes one on replay and I think he's likely to be suspended. Appears to me to run past the ball and bump, with some contact (probably minor) to the head. I can easily see that being graded "medium" impact, because the MRO has been obsessed with grading everything "medium" or above, and that's a week.

Third week in a row where the umpiring was appalling.

But zero push back from the media. It's pathetic.

The media are completely compliant with an afl shadow ban of legitimate critique or one of the mostย critical elements of the game.

ย 

There as a fair bit of push back about the free to Spargo. Article on fox, tweets from David King. Nothingย much about the Fisher one though.ย 

Thought the umpiring wasnโ€™t the worst last night but Iโ€™m of the opinion they donโ€™t do a very good job often enough.ย

Heโ€™s unlucky IMO. coming in to put pressure on and potentially lay a tackle and the Carlton player over cooked the handball and it leaves him with a split second to make a decision.ย

A few Collingwood supporters around here DZ.

I think after all the traveling we are finally starting to tweak our game for the G.

A few that donโ€™t support Melbourne thatโ€™s for sure Wadda. Just bringing their misery and pessimism and spitting it all over the joint.

A poster on the Game day thread posted we were a certainty to lose last night and it was met with a love heart reaction by someone. Like WTF?

If you're expanding the definition beyond the bottom 3, then that applies to everyone.ย 

Since Round 2 Collingwood's only scored over 100 twice, against GWS and North.

Since Round 1 Port Adelaide's only scored over 100 twice, against West Coast and North. They struggled to score against Sydney without a backline and then their other low scores have been against good sides (Collingwood, the Dogs, us).

Brisbane's five lowest scores this year have been against five of the six best sides they've played (Port, the Dogs, us, Adelaide, Essendon, with the 6th being Collingwood).

Adelaide's three lowest scores have been against three strong sides in the Dogs, Collingwood and Geelong in Geelong.

The Dogs have only scored 100 once, against Fremantle during Fremantle's losing streak, and their four lowest scores were against us, Brisbane, Port Adelaide and Gold Coast.

Those calling for a return of Brown switch on the Casey game and tell me what you think

I'm guessing you're saying he's not playing well?

2.1 from 8 touches, 3 marks, with 1 tackle, reads pretty standard I'd have thought?

Our first half was reasonably tough. When youโ€™re in the top 2-4 teams, youโ€™ve got more soft games than tough just on a ladder position perspective. However Iโ€™d say all bar 3 sides are pretty tough games, especially at their home grounds, often interstate in different conditions with hostile crowds and different sized grounds.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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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
