Drowning out the Collingwood boos of Grundy was one of my more prouder moments of being a Dees fan.

Me to.❤️💙

Loved them all but left out Hibbo's 1 v 1 win vs Lipinski (?) out of the pocket.

Think that's the quickest ive seen Hibbo run since ...

The crowd went nutz. 

My other fav was Smithy's run down tackle of Maynard.  Could've easily tackled from behind and probs ITB but went alongside instead to make sure there was only one outcome.  Clever boy.

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

In the lead-up to Fritta's goal in the third he also bullied Adams out of the way like he wasn't even there. He had so many Jack Viney moments.

Had Grundy kicked the goal after that it would have been the biggest lift ever. Gave me goosebumps similar to Neitz on McCabe or Whelan on Hird.

There's nothing in my view that fires you up as a fan more than when you goal straight after these moments.

We had a few like that. Thats why the Roo one was so good, young player finished off the good work.

We really got them in the physical stakes on Monday.

The pies might have been due for a loss and even the West coast factor might have played a part but a lot of teams would have notice what we did and how often the Magpie players stayed on the ground after the hit.

Their game is heavily focused on post-contest / outside. Without De Goey, they really have no-one that can dominte on the inside. As a result i think they give up a level of physicality.

I like to state the bleeding obvious in 10, 000 word or more. 

For me it was watching that little receiver Daicos grub his kick in/receive and then for Fristch to hit the post. Had that gone in it would have been a back breaker!


Loved everything about the day (except for our kicking for goal) but my favourite was Neale's guard of honour and Goody hugging him.

This’d be mine! Catches the ball, two or three steps and bang straight through him…..

Hunter running through WHE really did have me out of my seat. It was the moment I realised we were starting to put our game together.

Having said that, my favourite moment from the KB game did not come until earlier this week when it dawned on me that in consecutive weeks we had knocked off Carlton and Collingwood. For decades post our flag in 1964 these two lorded it over us and the competition. To send the Blues into an even bigger tailspin and to nail the Pies both within 10 days was sensational.

Now for the trifecta.

WH-E might think twice about laying another tackle, anywhere ever again after that hit! 

This is the issue with the new dangerous tackle rule they're ramming through.
If you are the tackling player you cannot go in for a tackle being half hearted and gentle because the finely tuned athlete in peak physical condition with the ball is going to blast straight through you.
Luke Hodge was on SEN this morning talking about the perspective of players.
In every game there are blokes playing to stay in the team, playing for contracts, their teammates confidence etc.
Coaches place a very high priority on tackles to pressure the ball carriers into mistakes.
They are also coached to drag the players to the ground as handballs while being thrown to the ground are far harder to hit than when standing up in a tackle.

Someone asked he other day what happens in a Prelim, when they're playing for all the marbles and we find half a dozen players getting rubbed out for the GF cause they were a little bit rough.

My view is if your going to play the game gently.
You're gonna get hurt.

 

JVR's sealer, with the knowledge that (1) we were finally going to beat Collingwood at the G since 2017 and (2) that this kid loves the big moment on the big stage.

 

 

While I voted for Jack's dance, it was a close call, knowing that Hunter's bulldozing of WH-E would have equally stunned 'dogs fans. Am I a bad person to gloat about it?!!

  • 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

  • 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.

    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.
