We should try Brown/Smith, JVR and Petty in the same forward line and keep Tommo down back.

I can see some potential there.

Joel Smith starting out of the Goal square next week thanks. 
 

Too valuable to be wasted as a substitute. 

Only if you want him to turn up for 30 mins, as sad as it is he is the PERFECT sub

one of the key things I've learnt this year is that Steven May is a panic merchant in tight last quarters

 

Our goal kicking has been so much better lately.

Joel smith the super sub, what an impact off the bench!!!

Called for him to Sub BBB with 5 to go in the 3rd

BBB played well, but was cooked, and didn't make it to a couple of contests early in last

Adelaide were playing for their season, to say this was a disappointing win is absurd. We held off their surge and got it done. 

Thank you, this is a team that should have beat Collingwood 2x and their wins were gritty and tough. While ours is disappointing? Come on

Good win. They are a good offensive side and got their freewheelin’ attack going a bit too often for my liking. Thought we lacked composure at times. Didn’t finish the game like a seasoned professional outfit. Mays kick in opened the door for them when we had almost closed it. They killed us in the air all day. That is my real concern. Great to see koz and chandler get going a bit. I’d like to see us put someone away soon. Just for my heart more than anything. 

 

In the game day thread I posted about Adelaide's big number differential in tackling and a few nuffies replied 'aww thats cos they haven't got he ball'

Tackles inside 50 Adelaide 13 Melbourne 1.

I'll leave it at that and let the nuffies try to work it out

What else do we have left to complain about if not small children singing the song with their dads? 🙄

in fairness not one of them sang one word. 😂

seem indulgent to me. enjoy the win with your teammates and then celebrate with family and friends 

when i played, the song and celebrating was a big part of the win. should be just the team imo

 


Giving away those 50's wasn't great, especially the onenes the end. Need a more discipline/awareness around frees.

Hunter is bog ordinary. No hurt factor. Hates contact 

Are we watching the same game? Lachie seems to take contact all the time from what I've seen this season.

First - Crows players ran from behind the play to take a handball, and ran through our midfield like a hot knife through butter. They did it unabated all day. We stuck a few great tackles at times, but their run and carry tore us apart. Secondly, our decision making around contested ball or coming through half back. Wow. I have no idea what has happened to Stephen May but he was putrid.

That's the Collingwood system adopted by most clubs these days.... the half back line is the absolute key to defending against it.

You also need to be ready to rebound through the corridor and not via the wing which is our go to play

Gus stepped up today. 16 contested possessions and 8 clearances to go with his 7 tackles. A couple of fantastic kicks going inside 50 as well.

.

I get that but he was exposed big time on the spread. Just doesn't have the running capacity of others.


Tommo and chandler play again next week. And I reckon smith should start as well (never thought I’d say that)

A few points:

Up front:
BBB must surely be at the end of the road now. Joel Smith did more in his first 10 minutes than Brown did all afternoon.
Kozzie electric in the first half, but eventually faded out. But the signs were good.
Van Rooyen showing promise but not quite there yet.

Midfield:
Towering game from Viney was all that prevented us from collapse at times.
Lack of pace a problem for Sparrow and Jordon. 
Oliver hugely missed when the pressure built up.

Defence:
Have May and Lever ever got themselves into such a muddle? Must be May's poorest game for a long time. Both kept making poor decisions all day.
Tomlinson would be super unlucky to be dropped next week.

Edited by Dee-monic

Did anyone think Adelaide were just going to sit by and do nothing. Rankine’s season is done. They gave it everything. 

Umps were very poor in the last quarter and were directly responsible for 3/7 goals . 

promising sign was our response when the kicked 4 to start the 4th. 

What is concerning is that all 3 of the other top 4 can play that way with their running game off HB. Have to learn how to defend that better.

Call me an [censored] then cause that was average 

a real mixed bag but in no way did the crows deserve to win that. We made them kick from long range and angles so its not like they were missing sitters. 2 50 metres (the Melksham one wasnt even a free) in the last quarter and the Lever bump as he kicked it is downfield was a freebie goal. please. 

Then inexpilcably we made some horrible turnovers to gift them goals, so we almost lost it, but in no way could the crows really think they deserved to win. 

I did love how they whinged re holding e.g Woewoedin mark and goal, with all their off the ball holds on Gawn, Petracca Viney all day. Apart from short periods of wonderful footy it was a wokmanlike perofrmance. 

Job done, so now please start rotating and resting some players as we play the weaker teams.

Let them enjoy and remember

most between 1-4yo. zero memories. they do it every week. the team song is an important part of bonding the team after a win

I wish we didn’t make it so hard for ourselves. My heart can’t cope 

 

I know what you mean- I have a banging headache and pain in the neck from tension in that last quarter 

 

Adelaide have Burgess. Never forget that. They are extremely fit and have IMO the best forwardline in the league. 

Crows have lost 3 games by a total of 7 points? against theoretically the two best sides in the comp.

Coll 2  Dees 1

Cant be all that bad a side. Good win.

  • 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.
