Where did this God damn rain come from 

Torquay apparently.

Had 2021 written all over it, that last quarter.

That song with the families was fantastic.

It certainly was! It's really embracing everybody in the club and family. Loved it. 

This is what a love about 2023.

The club has bought in new blood and experimented with the list. McVee, Chandler (as a regular), Woey Jnr and JVR. We have traded in proven talent to strengthen the list, Hunter and Grundy. 

After today the obvious!! Petty as a forward. I never agreed with the nay sayers saying he ain’t a forward. He is out best option. If not kicking goals, he is agile, good aerially, competes defensively and on the ground. Today the opposition will take notice. He will now get in the head of opposition coaches and players as a forward. Throw in JVR, who is also multi dimensional, we are less predictable in our weakness. KPF’s. My Caveat to this is BBB and TMac were instrumental in a Premiership and should be celebrated in our history. Injury and age have caught up with their great careers. 
 

Our midfield has more options. JJ, Sparrow, Brayshaw (playing more in recent times), Pickett, Rivers are there to provide a contest and contribute to our intercept game, and we still have Viney, Trac and Oliver…… 
 

Big tick to our coaching staff for all of the above and recognising our contest style of game was outdated, focusing on an intercept game (the new trend), whilst never giving up on our strength. Our defence. 
 

I’m enjoying this year so much more than last year. Let’s hope it’s as good as 2021.

We would be 2nd on the ladder if we had one more win

If that one win had been the Port game we would be a game clear in 2nd.

The rest of the top 4 lost. We won. It’s almost August. We are getting good at the right time. 2 matches against bottom 3 sides left in the year. We’re finishing 2nd. The Carlton game is gonna be awesome.

Ivan poked the bear & Max went I'll show you 

But I think I heard max say Goody gave him a bit of a spray at half time. He responded

An intense high pressure cracking game !!!

The toiges did us for pressure and intensity early and had our measure.

But .... along came Max ... big bad Max the mountain!!!

You will NEVER see a better performance in the ruck - EVER !!!!

A number of other top performances but I must single out Petty. He played more like  a forward than any other forward ( bar Fitta ) than we have played this year.

A very tough game - fortunate to have Norf next week.

There is a feeling in the Bitter nethers that says, " this is our year" !

GO DEES !!!!!

Agree with everything Uncle, however his 5 goals against Geelong in the 2021 prelim was also up there.

It can't be understated how impressive Jake Melksham has been in the absence of Bayley Fritsch.

He's gone from a surefire delist at seasons end to warranting another contract for 2024.

Have we actually worked out our forward line?

Technically no, I’d like Melksham to stay in when Fritsch returns.

We’ll overtake the lions next week on percentage and port if they lose to the cats.

Reckon I’ll he barracking for Geelong for the first time in my life next weekend 


I was wrong.

Richmond really brought the heat and got out to 20pts three times. But we withstood and Max drove us home. That was a truly great win in an epic contest.

Petty and the Tiger breakers.

I’m glad the match committee and selectors thought Petty can play as a forward. Where’s Picket Fence?

So much for my stupid nightmares. That was a very impressive win against a fairly decent side. If Max is not the best ruckman I have seen then you can tinkle me pinkles.


What a weird game!

Hated the ball pinging around early and likes of Dusty getting on the end of three.

Second half was excellent and the last quarter thanks to Max and others the ball just stayed in our half.

Less mistakes by our backline this week.

Petty's contested marks brilliant.

Viney is such a warrior.

JVR great kicking at goal.

Some of McVee's running out of the backline was spectacular.

Salem came good in the second half.

Woey and Harmes were a huge worry.

Give yourself a jolly good thrashing BDA !

We will fit Oliver back in, but not sure Fritz will be a shoe in,

  • 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.
