Good win, though once again backline looked less secure without Petty there.

Speaking of which, losing him is huge, just have to cross fingers. But not ideal.

Glad we won but Q1 and Q4 were embarrassing. 1g 6b in Q4: have the goal-kicking yips returned? And some foot passes in Q1 were awful. It was like we were trying to kick it to North Melbourne! Kicking coach: hellllpppp!

Q4 was not embarrassing when you looked at the bench and saw who we weren’t playing.

Ruck round?  really?

is it small defender round next week?

 

(this week's addition of Dub's Pet Peeves)

I know, right?

After “Small Defender Round”, it’s:

- “Holding the Ball Round”

- “Goal Sneak Round”

- “Ode to Dropkick Round”, and of course

- “Barrel/Torp From Beyond the Arc Round”.

JJ and Harmes didn’t do their cause any favors.

 

Not sure why JJ gets lumped in with HArmes? Everything Harmes touched turned to [censored].

JJ had 24 disposals at 88 percent with two goal assists and six score involvements.

JJ lifted significantly after a poor first quarter where he was not alone. He lacks speed which hurts him but he used it well. Harmes butchered everything he touched. 


Unless I am wrong Sparrow ran with D-U - thought he did a brilliant shut down job.

A win is a win. While those around us are stumbling we are putting together a good period of footy.
 

I think with that win it is now mathematically impossible not to play finals. Hopefully we can now get some loading in (Pies are definitely in a loading phase) and maintain our place in top 4. 

Congrats Dees!

Yeah I thought he finished well. Just looked more sure of himself and better with the decision making.

He seems to start games stuck in his head lately, over thinking things.

Fair to say we’ve done our service for football by playing in Hobart 5 times since 2016, 6 if you count the fact that we were also scheduled there in COVID 2020. A little more than Collingwood and Essendon who have travelled there about zero times in that period.

One of our schedule requests should be to not play at [censored] grounds - Tas, Geelong, Ballarat, Cairns [censored] them all off

Did he also do a job on Lachie Neale?

Harmes was poor with the ball no doubt.  But he did chase and tackle and put his head over the ball

I suspect this might be Good's thinking in playing him.  A senior body to play midfield minutes before Clarry come back

Embarrassing 4th quarter a bit strong? Night and day between that and the first.

Yep. JJ and Sparrow were v good (after first quarter) as usual. Harmesy ran around a lot with some horrible decision making and beyond awful disposal. He’s in a category all his own at the moment. 
 

in the end, a decent correction after quarter time, but that first quarter was indescribably bad. 

8 minutes ago, Bring-Back-Powell said:

First quarter was an absolute disgrace. A combination of arrogance, laziness, disorganisation and Clarkson’s sugar hit.

No issues with the last quarter. Goodwin put the cue in the rack at 3 qtr time by giving Gawn, Viney and Trac major bench minutes.

Gawn, Viney and Tracc not among our sharpshooters. IMO their absence does not explain our inaccuracy in Q4. 


My other takeaways from the couch - appallingly slippery surface - everyone slipping over on both sides, and secondly the adjudicating clowns giving no credit to both sides for fantastic football actions like “tackling” or “push in the back”. But my word they were good for the one “not 15” they called. Clowns.

 

Somewhat Pyrrhic victory with Petty going down.

Hope he's ok 

Bad start but good we didn't fold like Pies did 

Gus was very good.

Last week it was our talls, this time our smalls kicked them.

 

Edited by leave it to deever

I think our goalkicking in the last could qualify as embarrassing, JadedNM.

i'd bring in dunstan for harmes

didn't think i'd say that

(unless clarry ok)

 

I am/was a big Harmes fan but.... Dunstan seems plausible right now.

I thought Harmes was pretty good, and our midfield limited LDU who has been on fire recently.

ANB and Hunter were very good.

JJ was decent today and you have to give him credit, I think many people just think like I do where I don't think he is best 22 at the end of the day and people project that onto him no matter what happens, similar to the hate Hunter often gets.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
