In the annual Geelong vs Melbourne clash at the taxpayer funded building site on Corio Bay, the Demon midfield led by Jack Viney, Christian Petraca and Clayton Oliver (until Selwood broke his thumb) all played strongly but the team was overrun in the final term.

Dangerfield and Selwood were two of their best that night, if we can restrict those two we will go a long way to winning. Whats that you say their nor playing.

 

Can only really remember the hand kick. The only time we've seen Clarry in any real pain.

Yep that was the game. Cost us a lot more than 4 points. 


This game summed up our season imo. 

So who's taken over the ducking role for them ? ....

Reckon we have Selwood covered 

 

Need to play them hard and tough like we did the Pies.!!!

We trained all pre season to create a game plan to nullify the Strengths of 3 teams Swans, Pies and Cats.

Time to complete the trifecta and send a message to those corrupt pen pushing, tax payer stadium rorting, draft rule changing, brown bag hiding suits down the highway that last year was a aberration.

We are coming to get Feral land to take back what is rightfully ours and there ain't a thing that is going to stop us.

Three factors that can only improve our prospects:

1) Danger was influential and C Guthrie received 2 brownlow votes with 28 and 2 gls. Neither are playing.

2) Our ruck duo were really poor that night. Gawn returned from injury and had no impact while Jackson was invisible with his stock standard 1 mark a game that defined his woeful 2022 season. I'd like to think our current duo will take more than 1 mark between them and have influence.

3) We came into the corresponding game on a 5 day break coming off a win in Adelaide. We're surely much fresher with 1 game of football between 3 June and 22 June.

However, we have a 15% success rate at GMHBA since 2000 so I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

We had a 15% success rate everywhere since 2000, at least up to 2018. 😄

Melbourne were awful that night and I thought it showed the quality of the team to be within 6 points midway through the 4th. If only Pickett hadn't hit the post.

There best players that night were Duncan, Danger, Guthrie and Atkins. Duncan a shadow of that player, Danger surely doesnt play, neither does Guthrie and Atkins no longer at that level.

All things considered, its our best chance to beat them down there that I can ever remember. 2021 was a toss of the coin and 2015 was the biggest shock win we had under Roos. Yet, its still Kardinia Park bowling alley and champion teams get up for games like this.

That's us, right?

  • 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.
