Currently 8 deg in Alice, feels like 6 deg, but it has stopped raining. No wind, so conditions are perfect for footy now. Only question is how wet the ground will be after several days of persistent drizzle.

It's not as cold and wet as yesterday.

On the round ball theme, if it’s wet this afternoon I’m hoping the Demons kick it off the ground a little more and handball a little less!

In wet weather conditions there ought never be a link of more than 2 handball...ideally just one...to a moving player or one in the clear...  then a kick..  wash/spin/repeat.  Keep ball moving.

 

“Clearly in the last four or five weeks, we need to be better,” Goodwin said last week. “We’re not connecting as well as we should. And we’re not probably taking our goalkicking efficiency to the level that we need to be.

 

Hope this doesn't trigger some people here......

Agree with all of that.

The Bowey part especially but Goodwin appears glued to ANB which was the move that shouldve been made ie;  Bowey for ANB

Woe for Jordan

Melk as sub

Bowey does not have the tank to play nibbler's role.

Just about noone else does. Not yet.

I find it so perplexing why people still callfor nibbler to be dropped.

I mean, for one thing, he plays a very specific role, one tmac had said is the HARDEST role in football (his words, not mine), that there isn't an immediate replacement for.

And leaving that aside, he has been selected in the ones for almost every game for two and half season.

He has played something like 58 of our last 60 games for pete's sake. And that includes a premiership.

Is there another player who can boast that record?

Goody is a premiership coach, with a 58% win record.

The idea that nibbler being one of the first picked and a best 22 lock is somehow related to goody having favorites, being stubborn or irrationally 'glued' to nibbler is an insult to goody.

I mean c'mon, goody is the business of winning flags. If he didn't think nibbler helps us achieve that goal he's not in the side. Simple.

I reckon that might be why Jason Castagna retired early. It's a very demanding role.

Current temp in The Alice 7.3 with a feels like 4.2 

Well at least the boys won’t suffer from too much heat and humidity 👍 (Though relative humidity is currently at 95%)

Ange's dream is to manage Liverpool, maybe not as remote a chance as people think 😉

With Klopp at the helm? Good luck with that

good that we have a solid hit out in the wet. we need to improve in the wet

5 goal win coming up while leading all day

Can’t wait to watch us try and over handball it all day. Might get some scotch instead of beer!

Melksham the ideal sub.

Agreed. Perfect high impact in short bursts type player especially in this weather. Also gets him one game closer to F/S eligibility

We'll agree to disagree Bin

Bowey certainly has the tank and can play this role plus damage with ball in hand forward of center

You make a good point that reflects Goody's approach to Max re: bringing in Grundy.

Max says Goody said,    "....I can get you a 7th AA Ruckman Blazer,  or I can get you to be a 2nd Flag skipper.  Which one do you want...?"

Goody IMO is looking at how to get a flag and bugger the rest of the noise.

Salem up the ground isn’t a bad call but I want it to be Rivers instead. I like the idea of Salem staying at half back, we can’t strip all our good kicks out of there. With Bowey, Salem and McVee all in the side maybe this is the week we push Rivers further up. 

Yeah, I don't mind this either.

  • 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.

    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.
