    • Hunter running through Hoskin-Elliott in the first, good old-fashioned footy and it certainly got the crowd going.

After watching the replay and mini match a couple of times since Monday it made me appreciate what a truly wonderful contest the game was on Monday. Keen to hear everyone’s fav moment.

Favourite:  The final siren and being able to breathe again!!

Honourable mention:   when we out cheered the Collingwood boos of Grundy.

I chose Fritta’s goal that put us in the lead, because if I didn’t and Pauline found out, I’d be in trouble. 🤣

I did love the Hunter slamming into WH-E moment, mainly because Lachie stayed on his feet, barely affected and carried on running. Meanwhile, WH-E looked as though he’d been hit by a truck, which he kinda had. 😁

 

Hunter has literally gone from one of my most hated players to one of my most loved. He is everything I hated him at the Dogs for and more.

Both of my favorites.


Toss up between Hunters crushing mark and Vineys spin and pass to Roo

I picked Hunter. It has been hinted by outsiders that we are a tad soft eg lack of support to team-mates when bullied. This showed we are hard and generally fair.  I also picked it because it is the only one I could emulate when I played 🤣

 

If Grundy kicked the goal after the Hunter run through, it might have won moment of the season for me. 
 

Viney coming off with a bung shoulder and 2 minutes later saying 'Ready to go coach'


I pick the Hibberd 1-on-1 win, break away pace (at 31 or whatever he is, thank you very much), kick to Smith, kick to a contest (Roo holding free kick), wheel and Grundy mark + goal.

2nd is any of the numerous Jack Viney clearances.

Hearing the Mel-bourne chant start up.

I was gob smacked at the time because it's usually not the player with the ball that's handing out the bump. Collingwood player looked like he'd been shot

Has to be Jack Viney and his pass to JvR. Vines was amazing all day. I’d give him 6 Brownlow votes. 

That's my pick as well

Pure artistry at work (poetry in motion)

If that doesn't get you off your feet nothing will!

Mouth agape stuff!


This thread made me go back and watch a highlights video, and I'm having thoughts -

When May got turned around in that early goal, McVee could have been getting back to support and cover the break a bit better, but only really put the sprint on once the Collingwood player was already breaking away from May. Easy oversight to make, also easy to correct by habit over time.

May had a number of flawed moments but didn't give away anything easy. He and Lever were also pressed waaaay up the ground from defence on many occassions, and coped well in the chaos. A remarkable effort to keep Collingwood to such a low score, using such an aggressive tactic. Exemplified by May managing to break even in a three-on-one in defence.

Maynard should send a thank you note to Van Rooyen and the Melbourne legal team, because without them that late whack to Brayshaw's head in a marking contest would have been three weeks.

Smith's tackle on Maynard to earn his goal was textbook perfection.

Jack Viney is A-Grade.

Apart from his first few kicks on Monday I thought that was one of his best games for us. I will be honest though still can’t say I like him yet though.

You’ll love him when he’s a premiership player 😂

He will be one of my all time favourites if that happens.

The highlight for me, or should I say highlights, was seeing so many pies players on the ground in pain as we relentlessly hunted and hurt them.  We got tougher as the game went on.

Underrated part of that play was Viney smashing Noble just after his hand off to Judd.

Two weeks in a row he's put his body on the line for the cause.
Relentlessly ran his wing last week and maybe half way through the game had run the most kms on the ground.
Plays like a man with his eyes on the prize.
I'm sold.
 

 

I liked how we kept kicking points so that the TV audience got the perception of a close game, when in reality we controlled 85% of the contest.

For context - we doubled their scoring shots from 15 minutes in the 1st to 3 minutes left in the last.

  • 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.

    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.
