My Collingwood friend is adamant the Pies have been loading

Your Collingwood friend can't drive the ball 400 yards and doesn't have a shot at the pro tour.

    Good changes, still would prefer Tomlinson in down back to free Smith up forward.

    Happy Grundy is back, as good as Gawn has been it's such a risk and not sustainable.

    Very happy with the selections.  I would have had Hibbo in the 22, and Joel as the Sub, but our MC know far more about these things than I do.  Onward and upward we march!

    It's going to be a funny experience cheering on the tillies with blues fans and collectively celebrating their awesomeness (on a related note, there is still time for the AFL to realize the complete folly of sending AFLW teams to play on sub standard grounds all round the country - and don't get me started on only 10 rounds).

    Not sure how much further the Matildas will go in this tournament but i think its legacy here will be that the tournament inspired many young girls to play the game and hopefully push the sport further here.

     

    Chatting to a (Collingwood) mate and he thinks the AFL are demonstrating a massive, somewhat patronising blind-spot in the opposing manner they've responded to men's and women's soccer. The silliness in trying to divert attention from the Socceroos, to then fully embracing the Matildas.

    He wasn't arguing that that the AFL shouldn't accommodate multi-code fans, but suggested women's soccer is a far bigger threat to the future of the fledgling AFLW than what men's soccer represents to the AFL. I have to agree with him on many levels, including specific issues as to gender and parental concerns. 

    Not sure what it's like in the US or Ireland (the latter I am a bit familiar with though), but the jingoistic cross-code rivalry in Australia is quite bizarre, albeit driven by traditional state parochialism and other factors. However, both the men's and women's domestic soccer comps have never quite functioned properly in Australia. 

    So why not then embrace rival codes, capitalise on our tribalistic nature and have the domestic soccer clubs derived from traditional AFL and NRL teams? It makes so much sense to me, from both a cost and development perspective. I have little interest in local soccer, but may be piqued by the Demons playing the Broncos. 

    If we had an in-house professional soccer and Aussie Rules program, we may lose some talent to the other code, but that is happening already. At least in this scenario, we can get sporting potential through the door and identify the best pathway fit from an earlier age. Ramble over. TLDR: love, don't hate.

    Pretty expected changes following the Mitch Cleary tweet. Good to see Schache named in the emergencies. Hopefully he’s closer to be selected if this Grundy plan goes balls up.

    What a relief, Clarry is back.

    Are the AFL going to change the start time to our game?

    Accommodate the FIFA.

    My celebrations for Clarry's return will be subdued until at least a quarter of running at full tilt..

    My pointless prediction: Gawndy to kick a combined five goals: forward-line problem solved (not actually solved, just adding to future selection dilemmas). Also, MFC vs Carlton to have many wild momentum swings.

    Smith's selection is interesting

    On paper the forward line looks unbalanced but let's see.

    Would love to see Petracca kick 6 straight

    I believe we always pick a ruckman as an emergency. Usually the breakdown of the emergencies is one forward, one defender, one midfielder (non-ruckman) and one ruckman.

    As I see it, Schache is an emergency because he's the next ruckman in line after Gawn and Grundy.

    • 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.

      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.
