Glad to see Richmond put in their place. The foam that oozes out from the media when they win a couple of games could fill a fire extinguisher.

Gee bonts just a star. Great to watch

Imagine if St Kilda didn’t take Billings the pick before Bont in 2013

Imagine if St Kilda didn’t take McCartin the pick before Petracca in 2014.

Peak mid 2010’s St Kilda drafting.

Imagine if they picked Judd instead of Ball? 

Ball no slouch of course but Judd in that midfield would have been worth a watch.

 

Watching that Marion Pickett incident in the 3rd quarter tonight I just want to remind all fans that it’s never ok to touch the players.

This applies to all supporters, and certainly isn’t aimed specifically at @WalkingCivilWar when James Harmes wanders toward the cheer squad.

Maybe they are saying ‘we’ll play if you get us an actual coach next year’?

I thought McQualter was doing alright after Hardwick. Gave them a few wins and some hope.

Dusty was playing beautifully against us. Just not enough time for the veterans to get up, after only 5 days. 

If a 5 day break, needs both clubs to have the 5, otherwise too much advantage to the one with more days.

If prime time telly, should really have more than the 5 day breaks, especially at the back end of the season, if they want a spectacle. 

Also, the Docklands curse for Richmond. They need to embrace the travel.

That would NEVER happen! Harmesy knows better than to come anywhere near the cheer squad. 😜

I seem to remember an incident with Oliver and a blues fan that grabbed him years ago. and oliver was made to apologise!?

Yes and I hope Mimi gets the gig. I had them well outside the 8 this year and he had them doing very well. Dusty still has it and can use the ball, I thought he’d checked out, but no.


I thought this was a really soulless performance with everything on the line. I’m not sure you can put that down to a ground.

Yes we were [censored] at Marvel for a long time but this did correlate with us basically being [censored] everywhere.

Tiges would rather have the roof open and hack the ball forward and aside from Dusty are mostly butchers, but they didn’t really fight or chase the dogs playing indoors.

Be interesting to see whether Tiges have the ‘cue in the rack’ already. Next 3 efforts will be interesting.

Wow. Bont and Petracca would have had a cooking show on and off the ground.

Even taking 5-day break into account the Tiges looked shot. I don't want them to implode completely from here though. One more win should see them finish above Freo.

And their bad record at Marvel is self-fulfilling. Big mistake by Hardwick saying they didn't want to play there. 

Unfortunate for the Tigers with that five day break and the need to manage two of their veterans as well as the last minute loss of another veteran in Grimes. The result gave the appearance of a team waving the white flag - they looked out of it both physically and mentally from the outset. This could also make or break McQualter’s coaching ambitions so it’s going to be interesting to see if he can get them to reset in the final three rounds.

After a bad start to the year, the Tigers have been OK I think. The AFL did them no favours yesterday and it wouldn't surprise me if they knock over the Saints next Sunday, like they did 7 weeks ago.

Yeah, this guy. His face tells you everything you need to know. Screams at a teenager and gets offended when he gives it back to him.

100% agree with all of the above.

"The result gave the appearance of a team waving the white flag - they looked out of it both physically and mentally'

I watched the game (up to half time  stopped after that) and caught the first couple of minutes of the fox half time analysis.

Of the top, Garry Lyon mentions the break and coming off a tough game against us. I thought great, good on him for providing context for their performance.

Then says, paraphrasing, you could see the tigers didn't think they were going to play finals and played accordingly. The implication was exactly what you suggest some might think WJ.

I mean what the?

I'd be furious if I was a tigers fan. 

I hate to say it of an dees champion, but Lyon is a peanut.

Probably have to catch up with my local parish priest for confession after support for the cats tonight. Oh well, one does what one must.

If by some miracle WAFL beats Essendon today does that encourage Norff to tank and grab Harley Reid and priority picks?

Didnt Melbourne pick Cam Mills but he was a Swans academy player from Sydney and they got him via the AFL . Dees took second option Clayton Oliver.

we sure did

we also nominated heeney, but then swans matched - with pick 18 or something - and we drafted petracca

 

There are a large number of us Demonlanders who watch multiple games across the weekend, and most of us are probably on the mature end of the age scale. So over the years we get to see some great footballers who stand out.

I was a huge fan of Paul Kelly from the Swans and would watch Sydney games just to see him.

It's the same with Bontempelli. Watching him makes me love the game. Fair, strong, ridiculously skilful, natural leader, match winner. I put him up near Robbie Flower for the graceful way he plays the game. Last night he was at his best.

Looking ahead I think I’ve got this right (can’t be bothered checking)- in the west we have ‘The Derby’, in SA it is ‘The Showdown’, NSW it is ‘The battle of the Bridge’ (or something like that). I believe the AFL are considering rebranding the ‘Q’ clash in QLD to be called ‘The sQuirrel’ clash’.

  • 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.
