    The Pies were loading 

    For the past 6 weeks, Melbourne is 3 for scoring and 3 for points against. We’re in the top right hand corner of the Premiership window metrics.

    Collingwood is 5th for points for and 14th for points against.

    Just for reference, Geelong was 1 and 1 the last 6 weeks in 2022 before finals.

    We might not win tomorrow night, but the Pies aren’t winning the flag.

    Unless it becomes clear we need a third tall at some point in the match, Smith wont play back (IMO).

    Why would he?

    Hibbo comes in for turner as a defender so they don't need anyone else to go back.  

    I'm tipping Smith plays on murphy and looks to negate his intercept marking 

    Yeah, I don’t see why he starts back. He can move there if things aren’t working and allow us to go smaller and quicker up forward with Laurie. But I don’t see Fritsch, McDonald, and Smith too tall…

    The "v" not "vs." for the St Kilda Adelaide game is what's making me twitchy.

    I don’t think we can underestimate the importance or significance of this game 

    The Demons are back. Not for 60 long long years have we been this good. We are playing our foe from the 50/60’s on the main stage in September. 

    Embrace it.

    Reverting back to Lever and May being our only 2 talls against a forward line that has 3 talls.

    This defensive structure has not worked this year.

    It's ironic that we've gone back to this after Goody said they liked the three talls and wouldn't be reverting from this again.

    FWIW, I actually think it's the right call on this particular occasion. 

    May and Lever rarely do well intercepting in the wet, just like Max, so having to worry about another tall around them potentially fumbling, is not something we need. Instead, we have smalls and mediums to mop up at ground level and hopefully keep their smalls at bay.

    I think this is a complete horses for courses move. If we were playing Brisbane this week, I suspect we'd have three defensive talls.

    What's unusual is we didn't try two talls on KB, we went with three. And it worked very well, but they were minus McStay.

    I presume we're banking on winning CP and territory, and on slow plays defending inside 50s, we'll drop Max behind the ball.  While on fast plays, we'll be better with quicker smalls, rather than cumbersome talls, and the Collingwood talls are unlikely to clunk a lot in the rain/greasy conditions.

    Watching 360 they were all asking how can the Pies win? The demons have the best defence in the comp etc

    JVR?

    We've selected 6 marking "talls" if you count Fritsch and I do. We can play 3 forward and 3 back if necessary.

    • 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.

    • 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.
