I slept in, had 4 hours in the garden, followed by 4 hours to myself to do nothing but flick between Demonland and the live footy, fish 'n chips for dinner, and now a nice Heathcote region shiraz.

Feeling good.

And I got to watch some Bomber v Giants and see the final score.

The English language in all its beauty does not hold enough words to describe the jubilation of seeing the Bombers annihilated. I hate them more than Greta Thunberg hates petrol cars, plastic bags and rational thinking. 

Long may they suffer and rot.

And now I am feeling very, very good.

Sounds like my day with Mrs RFS away. Except change fish and chips to Chinese and the Shiraz to a lovely Clare Valley Reisling.

Let's hope tomorrow holds as many pleasures with a good win!

It's actually a very old footy expression that was laughingly asked of a teammate (usually the full-forward) about how he'd prefer the footy to be delivered for a chest mark - laces in or laces out?

"Laces out" was preferred because it was easier to mark and didn't bruise the flesh.  It essentially means a perfect kick that hits the target exactly as planned.

is it really?? wow i figured it was a punter’s grid iron term only. 

thanks for the info!

who needs this playoff for finals nonsense when the 13th team can still make finals in round 23?!

I have heard that now you mention it, but it's a myth spread by those who wish to discredit Lay Szout and his contribution to the game of futebahren..

Saw a tweet that said Albo should declare a public holiday when Essendon win a final 😂

More chance of a state holiday I think as Dan supports Essendon. Although he'd he'd need to win at least another three terms for it to happen. 

If Geelong lose, next week will be only the second meaningless game they have played since 2006 (the last game of 20-5, when they were out of finals contention, is the only other one).

Remarkable. 

Would love to see it happen.

Which game is going to be better to watch, Saints/Geelong or Adelaide/Sydney? Can't decide.

You think Albo is going to be PM longer than Menzies?

Unfortunately theyre playing Stkilda.

Going to be a real bunfight in R24 for the 5-8 scraps.

Nice vision of Hawkins getting his eel juice applied. Should be banned.

Yep. No gloves, no grippo, no oil. Like the ancient Greeks did it, but with more clothing.

I distinctly remember hearing the saying back in the 70's and it might have started then (or perhaps it goes back a long way)

So it's at least 50 years old and I reckon the connection relates to the leading full forward and those who passed to that player in that position

Do you recall when it commenced?

*apologies - nor do I! - my point was - it was done in a context where they would have felt it was relevant - many seasons before the current seasons, thus no idea it was a 'tight' season.

Don’t apologise. I don’t know either! I tried to google it but I know it’s been a 2 year deal for the last few deals so I can assume it’s been made since we won the flag.

It’s apparently worth 600k a year. It’s a lot of money. I just absolutely hate it. We are the Melbourne side and I feel like everyone else gets precedence over our town. We should be doing everything we can to associate our club with Melbourne, and the MCG.

Anyways, will be interesting to see if it comes to an end, or if we still need to do it given we are debt free. 👍

I’m sure they’ll get a state funeral in their taxpayer funded stadium.

Carlton coming off two hard close games. GWS off a training run with Green rested in the last quarter. Good luck to Carlton. 

Yes, same view.

I would have never picked Dan as an Essendon supporter.

  • 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.
