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.

 

Madly looking up “Pyrrhic”

 

The two scapegoats every week

Thought JJ was good & Harmesy was ok.

The amount of criticism for these two is unbelievable 

Harmes is a great clubman & used to be a fan favourite, how things have changed

Viney BOG for me. Stood tall and lead from the front when we were not switched on.

10 clearances, 10 inside 50s

An absolute beast

Viney has stepped up massively since Oliver went down. 

Imo he is in career best form and at the right end of the season.

I’ve always liked Harmes, but what exactly did you see today that you liked? He slipped over all day. Tried to do too much as usual. Kicked the ball out on the full with no pressure. Constantly goes backwards with the ball and takes on the tackle. Was caught holding the ball too often. Missed his opportunities on goal. Dropped marks. Happy to hear what you liked

He turned up.

We have been playing all of the season with an unsettled forward line mostly without Petty there but currently sit second on the ladder. Brown or Grundy can still do the second tall job. Fritsch will be back soon as well. Smith is also a handy replacement forward or back for Petty.  Not to forget about Clarry.

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.

 

Don't forget about not paying that other staple in our game called "marks"

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

The word curmudgeon always comes to mind when you carry on like this.

Put his head over the ball, 20 possessions, 6 tackles 8 contested possessions & as l said played his role as an inside mid

Disposal efficiency was average at 60%

As l said he played ok

Being ok at 27 and on the fringes isn’t really what is expected max he has not addressed the areas of deficiency

Was deeply concerned during the first quarter.

Luckily our class rose to the top against the Kangaroos.

Definitely a blow losing Harry Petty to injury.

Kozzie and Chandler both had great games.

Petracca and Viney both wonderful.

Max Gawn was huge, as always, against 2 North Melbourne ruckmen as well.

Harmes was awful. Just does dumb things which are incredibly frustrating!

Anyway, it was a good win in the end by 32 points.

He is brushing off tackles , side stepping away from traffic and pumping into the 50 brilliantly at the moment

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

It’s a fair point. I watched him closely on replay and was much more impressed than I was at the match

Petty 🏥

Smith down back 🤔

Clarity / form of the fringe mids

Percentage

Mental preparation 🤮

Speed and skill through the middle 👎

Take the 4 points but not a good day.

 

Genuine team ethos

Finding a way to win

Arresting momentum and resetting in game.

Competition for spots

Adaptive coaching

Not getting sucked into media narratives.

Please review the ladder this year and 22 and 21, and just say thank you.

You don't have to sit in the cheer squad area and you probably keeps as far away as possible anyway.

No different to any banners, flags, large pom poms, spinning targets, etcetera. Those kids with small flags probably antagonise you.

The ground needs their atmosphere and the energy they bring. Game day is only a little of what they do for the club. "Unnecessary and annoying", I think you may be on your own with that opinion. Another guess is you don't Mexican wave, or dance, during dance cam. Not making the most out of the live experience are you?

They are so much fun, I have often heard our young supporters getting excited about the giants heads. I don't understand your antagonism. 

Well done Demon Army, we need you and you are at the cutting edge of supporter's accessories.  Keep us entertained, and continue making lots of fun, colour and noise for our teams.

  • 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.
