Petracca is having a bog of a game and not the good kind.

Worst game since he had the flu game last year.

Odds are his second half will be better seems to be a pattern

I wouldn’t trouble the word “seriously” in this instance.

But I am more and more of the opinion that a lot of Kozzie’s issues stem from not being coached well enough.

Of course I’m not happy.

But the modern league is very competitive these days, and even teams who are low on the ladder find pockets of excellent form. I don’t see it as “Demons are being showed-up by duds”

I agree with you completely. The comp is probably the most even it has ever been.

BUT they lost their best mid just before the game, we are nearly full strength. A top 4, recent premier, hopeful premier again. The only reason this is an arm wrestle is because we have been very poor, not because they have set the world on fire. If they had, I’d agree that we are just battling with a team on fire and nothing to lose.

We likely win this, and should, and tbf will need to as I’m not confident about beating the swans over there in the last. So it’s super important we come out in the second half significantly less bad. Hopefully good!

But you’re right. The hawks ain’t bad at all they’re building a good team. I just remember many, many losses to them, and would very much like that not to continue for another 5 years at least haha

This has just been sloppy by us.

Mids getting crushed except for Jvr.

Poor skills and some very poor decisions.

August 20, 20232 yr

God i hate this Hawthorn dirt bag of a team....hope we beat em by 1 point.

Oskar Baker and Hugh Greenwood story made the throat lumpy..

Need to get busy

August 20, 20232 yr

Do we even use footballs at training? Seriously need to fix our skill level this 2nd half

Really think that goes for the forward line....

Hawks cutting our zone up with deft short kicks and good delivery I50. They've been doing that to us for years

We are guarding grass and their chip kicks are making us defend. But it's hard chasing tail all day.

Need to go man on man for a while, control the footy, make them run AND KICK STRAIGHT FFS

Spot on but it's not a good pattern .

August 20, 20232 yr

Laurie has contributed way more than Kossie but guess who will get dropped first.

August 20, 20232 yr

Just observing our lack of pressure when the Hawks have the ball. The umps call play on & our players don't move.

Then some of our players haven't bothered to man up and are just walking along the ground

We would have been better with Grundy instead of Gawn today so far. Reeves is cleaning him up.

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.

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.

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.

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.
