    Kicking 18 behinds we didn’t, it will be an absolute fairytale if they drop into a hole and lose games and go out in straight sets

    Huh?? That’s genuinely weird. We smashed them on scoring shots and they lost to 16th in the lead up to the finals. They’re not as good as the media narrative presents 😉

    Agree ... the umpiring is disgraceful.

    I rather not carry them in the side and just back our midfield to beat anyone we play one on one. 

    That doesn’t mean I don’t think we should try to limit the opposition’s best player. But I wouldn’t play a player in a purely negative role in a final. We don’t need to do that. 

    We don't need to every game, but when a players like Nick Daicos, Zak Butters and Noah Anderson (no coincidence they are all quick) can so clearly dominate a game off their own back we absolutely should.

    Also, Goodwin does tag because he put time into Lachie Neale recently!

    Pretty stiff on Butters, that free kick to Rohan. The only reason he ran into him was because the boundary throw in was 10 m short.

    We are not barracking for a Geelong win. We are barracking for a Port loss.

    I think Daicos had 27 mostly ineffective touches against us. We worked him out of the game.
    Only Butters absolutely destroyed us this year and won the game for his side. I reckon if Clarry doesn’t tear his hamstring in the third we win that game anyway.

    Games such as this are mentally exhausting. A great goal or mark or tackle and you’ve gotta stop for a second to work out if you’re happy or not.

    Lol if we are second by the end of the weekend

    Agree but we didn’t put them away on the scoreboard and the media played it off as Pies lost not the demons won.  Blues and now hawks have put them away! It was great watching Fly look uncomfortable on the bench!

    22 of his 27 disposals were "effective" for what it's worth.

    My point is, Hawthorn tagged him hard, it totally shut him down and Collingwood looked much weaker as a result.

    Ok, same vibe - different interpretation of competence 🙌🏼. I look at scoring shots vs opponents as a guide, irrespective of the goals to points breakdown.

    In finals anything happens it's a different ball game altogether if you can control their midfield which is their strongest part of their game like the Hawks did then no but they will be amongst it.

    I still dont care if we finish 4th and play Pies at the G first up......

    My point, for what it's worth, is you could have made your point without calling posters who hold a contrary view, or a senior coach of a premiership winning team for that matter, a nuffie.

    I mean, it's not compulsory on the internet to insult people.

    There is no doubt that Daicos playing poorly severely reduces the overall quality of the Pies midfield. But Daicos is not an inside mid nor a contested winning bull.
     

    This is the main weakness of Collingwood. It’s why they went and got Mitchell. But he’s bog ordinary at using the footy and he’s slow as a wet rag. They keep subbing him off to try and get some more run in last quarters. 


    De Goey is the only inside mid they have who can really hurt you on the outside. But he’s inconsistent and mentally soft. 
    Their midfield is one dimensional. If you stop them winning the footy then by extension you limit Daicos as he needs the ball fed out to him. 
    Butters on the other hand can win his own ball and destroy you with it. He is far more damaging and hard to stop than Daicos IMO. 
    The key to beating Pies is to shut down De Goey and Adams. De Goey only had 17 today and Adams 13. Combined they had 7 clearances. Nash had 6 by himself.

    • 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.
