Good to be so positive, from someone who has reached the pinnacle before. 
Now though is the time to walk the walk and silence the doubters.

❤️💙❤️💙

 

Call to arms. On our turf. Last five, Lets make it Six. 

In the Centre it will be them who Holds all the time. Get on to it umps

In the Forward line it will be them who blocks and holds all the time.

In the Backline it will be them who looks at each other about who gets it.

In the end it will be us who runs around the Boundary.

 

I’ll cop immediately that this is pedantry at its finest but Tracc didn’t say that we’re ready for finals?

He states we’ve found our game again and there are still 3 games until finals… if anything he’s saying that ‘we’ve regained our brand and are starting to dominate offensively BUT there are still 3 games UNTIL finals.’

So no, Christian Petracca didn’t say ‘the Dees are ready for finals’

From a journalism point of view this is factually wrong…

In saying that, we are absolutely ready for finals, haha

Headline " Petracca says demons ready  for September " he says no such thing in the article

I think footy classifieds needs to get a new hair stylist 

 

I regret clicking on the Footy Classified link. 

Check out the embedded video from 4 or 5 weeks ago that hasn't aged well at all:

*  Loyd questioning and throwing doubt on the capasity of our forwards to kick enough goals

* Carro being Carro and throwing around rumors of cultural issues that are potentially holding the club back premiership hangover style as evidenced by the May Vs Melky punch up last year; Mark Williams might be gone next year due to soft cap issues and demand elsewhere etc.

 

The main one on the pannel that actually stood in the corner of the MFC and somewhat backed us in was Kane Corns on the basis of our talent profile and strong defensive game.


Christian Petracca.

Sometimes I still have to pinch myself over how good you've become as a player and person. Forever indebted. 

Cheesy moment over.

“I just have a sneaky suspicion that Melbourne's going to step it up.

“I just think that Melbourne are going to come good.

“I think they've got last year and everything else (behind them), they dominated that year.

“There's something about that group, I think they've got players coming back, they've got depth, they can turn it on there's another gear or two in them and I just don't know if the other teams have those gears.”

As well as being a three-time premiership player, Akermanis is a Brownlow Medallist having taken home ‘Charlie’ in 2001.

The 325-gamer is predicting a draw in this year’s count and locked in who he thinks will finish on the podium.

“I think (Christian) Petracca and Bont (Marcus Bontempelli) might be a draw,” Akermanis said.

“It could be close. But if Nick Daicos, Petracca and the Bont aren't the top three, I’ll eat my hat.

“They're just having a great season. There might be a couple I might have missed, but I watch a lot of games.

“I'm pretty sure those three should be there no matter what.

“There are some quality players that may sneak under the guard.

“But so many good players are playing in teams that aren't winning, so that hurts, and I think those boys have been winning enough.”

If you've every listened to the Real Footy podcast with Caro, Michael Gleeson & Jake Niall, Caro is constantly trying to pot our crowds saying she was disappointed in the turn out. The other two then say, oh no I thought the crowd was fine for that fixture. Has happened multiple times. A heap of people in the media seem to treat us with disdain, but whetever who gives a F, let's just prove them wrong.

FYI I don't listen to that podcast anymore because of her.

I wonder if Caro mentioned the Tigers could only rustle up 54k for their round 20 home game against us - and 70% were probably dees fans.

Perfect day for footy, tigers still in the hunt for finals and playing an old Vic rival. And only 54k?

Tiger army?

More like a Cubs troop.

It may be just my perception, but it seems that you've got a lot punchier since you got your own @Binmans PA.

Caro loves an opportunity to put us down. She is transparent with her prejudices, doesn’t even bother trying to disguise them

Funnily enough after the Dogs game at the start of the season she mentioned the crowd. I then went to check the corresponding game that the Tigers played the Dogs the year before and the crowd size was almost identical. 

So if Oliver comes back and he and Viney are in top top form, does Trac do a Dusty and play fwd in all the finals?

Well Loyd was correct about our forwards to kick enough goals, but in the last few weeks they have shifted in how they delivered the ball into the forward line now they are not as predictable and apart from the first quarter last week where we just dumped it in, the second and third quarter showed what they can do when they spread and although Petty is out they need to keep playing this way.

I don't know why anyone bothers to listen to her, she only seems to be interested in potting clubs, us in particular, and the murkier side of AFL football. 

I don't listen to her and can only go by what I read on here, but it certainly doesn't encourage me too. It's always a joy to beat Richmond,

Most of the football commentators dislike Melbourne because we were a basket case for such a long time, and they seem to think our supporters lack passion and aren't prepared to go to games. Perhaps they should look at our attendance record this year; they may be surprised.

Agree, and anyone who still uses snow jokes has a bee in their bonnet about it.

  • 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.
