3/3 good results today 🥳

Unless your in a tipping comp. Think I have one for the weekend and that was the AFL sponsored eagle freebee.

Bolton is a genuine match winner isn't he?

Probably my favourite non Melbourne player. Just so good to watch. I reckon Kosi could be this good if he got more midfield time. 

 

Freo soft and flakey as ever.  Great win away against all odds.

Bolton was brilliant for the most part.

Nanks did ok.

Cotchin, Short, Prestia (1st half) and Taranto vg also

The umps did their best to try and win it for them.... should give at least 1 brownlow vote to themselves.

We are 8-4 at the halfway point of the year, sitting third on the ladder, with the second best percentage, only just behind a team who had won three more games.

And $5.50 equal second favorite to win the flag. 

We are playing the favourite in front of 90k on Monday and are 2.05 to win the game.

And you don't think my positivity is warranted?

I'm not sure about you bobby, have followed the dees for a long time.

A serious question.

If you dont think positivity is warranted now, in what scenario would you positivity be warranted?

When we don’t lose to sides like Fremantle and Essendon

Isn’t it a weird feeling? Feeling happy for Richmond?

 

Bad loss for Freo, they would need some results to go their way in the run home to make the finals.

All gives hope for Gold Coast and Richmond to finish higher than the Shockers as well.

I never hated Richmond (their fans are vile tho)  

Should I seek help?

No. You are quite normal by your response.

Yes, but feeling happy for Hawthorn earlier today was worse.

That's your response to a serious question?

I guess after we got rolled by the very average giants in round 16 of the 2021 season,  managing only 55 points on a perfect day for footy at the g, you stopped watching us, such was your devastation.

Spoiler alert. 

We won the flag that year.

I think some people don't see the forest for the trees. And subconsciously expect us to win every single game. 

2021 was out best season since 1964.

2022 was our 2nd best home and away season since 1964 as well!

In 2018 we were 8-4 after 12 games, but with a lower percentage and we were 5th not 3rd.

There are only a couple of other seasons since 1964 that we have passed the half way point in a better position. We're doing ok and should try enjoying it. We've earnt it!

It's more about if we're not winning  it doesn't fit the expectation that we won a grand final with the list, thus...

a) coach doesn't have plan B

b)other coaches are stagnating

c) not hungry enough

d) bathwater

e) if you're standing still. you're going backwards and I demand we do more with the talent that we so obviously have.

 

which fails to take into account

a) how even the competition in, with player, coaching and ancillary staff resources spread across the league

b) nuances in training

c) the impact of injury (acknowledge in media or not) on personnel on a weekly basis across a 6 month competition.

etc etc

I think from memory we had only lost 2 games to that point?  2 from 15. Now it’s 4 from 12. Next 2 are Collingwood and Geelong at Geelong. Let’s park the conversation until 6pm Monday.


Geelong are now 8/1 for the Premiership (paying $9) after Brisbane lost today. They can't finish Top 4 (would need to win 10 of 11) and definitely need to win 6 of 11 (possibly 7) to get into the 8. They play Port Adelaide in Adelaide next week and a home game against Melbourne after the bye. Are still to play Collingwood at the MCG, Brisbane in Brisbane. Plus Port Adelaide for the 2nd time in Geelong. I'm clearly missing something here. How can they be so short?

It certainly wasn't in the 70s or 80s.

And the intervening years haven't been that much fun either.

Thankfully that has changed and I'm loving watching a unit who are serious contenders.

It is a lot easier now than in many seasons. But I doubt it will ever be easy (unless one day we top Collingwood's cakewalk with the first ever run of five premierships in a row. We can revisit this issue then ... 😉)

Because Geelong. Write them off at your peril despite the hard draw you’ve conveyed.

Chris Scott’s a freak of a coach that will get his side on some stupid 9 game winning streak, or 10 of last 11.

Are the only threat to Collingwood’s flag this 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

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
