It's a Foxtel thing for laughs.

I laughed, except when Jimmy was on screen.

Goodwin did say in an earlier press conference that Petty suffered a Lisfranc which kept him out earlier in the season. Always shudder when I hear that word. Hopefully it’s not a repeat …looked similar to Fritch’s injury …

Are you certain? 

I’ve only ever heard his first injury described as a mid foot sprain.

Lisfranc is 12 months. Which is the Mitch Clark injury.

We did the bare minimum against a side that hasn’t won since March and lost our centre half forward.

Feel free to enjoy it with the other happy clappers but it wasn’t a good day. 

The only negative & it’s a big one is the loss of Petty. However we do have amazing depth …so lots of magnets can be spun. So I’d much rather be a “ happy clapper “ and enjoy the fact that for 3 years we will finish top 4 & we are in this season up to our necks. But wallow away …

Amazing depth = bunch of VFL players. Tomlinson, Grundy (unless rucking), Ben Brown, Joel Smith, Tom McDonald…none of them are up to it

It was either the after match report (Richmond) or the coaches interview before the North match. Like you I was quite shocked ..maybe a slip of the tongue by Goody ?

There was more giant heads than people wanting to hold them up. 😭

Many of the folks in our bay were Tassie-based Dees fans. They didn’t seem interested in giant heads. 🤷‍♀️ 

 

Unsure what to make of that.

Straight kicking, defensive rebound, midfield dominance and determination got us back into it.

North missed some important goals that would have kept them with us.

Still bombing away, and handballing to the other under pressure. 

At least we play better at the G. 

Worried, that if the other out-tackle us, we fall apart.

Pleased, that if they don't continue the pressure for the 4 quarters we take them.

Glad we can play in a variety of ways, and the coaches can get the right style, for the situation from us.

You left out the player who I'd like to see replace Petty, and that is Schache.

 🥱 Ridiculous comment. We don’t have a team full of A graders & the above players have filled a role & been serviceable at certain times.  As have our B grade midfielders who have covered Clarry. We are not a team of individuals we are a system driven team.

Give it a half against a good side and you’ll change your mind.

That said, not entirely convinced he isn’t the best option for next week if they really aren’t happy with Grundy

Just finished watching the game. 

Should I read the first war and a bit on the gamely thread.  I imagine it was pretty raw.

North was good at the start but ran out of legs.

The giant heads are annoying and unnecessary .

also inconsiderate to anyone sitting behind them trying to watch the game . Ridiculous

Usually it's gawn who gets pulled, man handled and hung onto but gee Melksham was very stiff not to get a few frees today. I'm pretty sure nearly every contest he at least had an arm held 

Looks like the cheersquad had front row seats for some of the plays of the day.  That first goal by Kozzie sublime.

Another favourite was Kozzie breaking the ankles of Ziebell, basketball style…

In the last quarter he’s was blatantly held 3-4 times. Their defence got away with murder in the last. Jake was having a laugh about with Goodwin post game.

Very ordinary 1st quarter but then the Roos played their hearts out in the 1st half and it took a lot of hard work, pressure and a bit of accuracy (Kade Chandler) and brilliance (Kozzie) to get us back in the game. Inaccuracy in the last and the loss of Petty stopped us from racking up some percentage but happy with the team win in the end. Poor Harrison Petty when is he going to get a break.!!!

Hard to say how I feel. I was disappointed to think we struggled against lowly North (considering how badly we kicked their butts earlier in the season) but I am glad that even in the face of a 33 point deficit we still found the will never to give up and fight back to take the points. A wins a win and I’ll take it, so at the end of the day, I’m happy. 
Now and can only hope Freo beat lions. If not that a draw. Failing that, lions only win by one point 😏

Jack Viney what a man.  After the game when the boys were about to head off the ground he grabbed Petracca, Salem and Hunter and made them run nto the complete opposite side of the ground to give out a few high 5s to the punters over there.  Made some kids very happy indeed!

It's bloody annoying considering we are always playing at kardinia. Pies and Essendon never there either. Joke.

We should start a petition for unfairness that we’ve played there more times than any other club (Barr cats of course.)

My 18 year old daughter was happy that happened too. 😁

... although secretly I think she would have preferred Viney grabbed Rivers and Sparrow to join him!!

Nice to get the win, but gees Petts is really breaking my heart this year. How many times has he dropped out of the side this year with an injury every time he's looked like he's got going and looked damaging forward or back.

  • 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.
