an important match up today. west got 20 touches, godfrey only 9, but i thought godfrey checked him pretty close today. i thought it was a reasonable tagging job. godfrey didnt hold him and tug him, like some other taggers do, just followed him closely and stood in between west and the ball.

did anyone see what happened on the city wing in the 3rd quarter? i missed it but mclaren was looking straight at it and let it go. but godfrey was on the ground for a while and west was running away from him. the umps then watched godfrey pretty closely for the rest of the match.

anyone see it? and howd you think godfrey played?

    Pretty good effort considering west averages 32 disposals a game. I though Bell was equally as important shutting down his opponents.

    Did not hear what happened to Godders, but from what i heard there was plenty of behind the play argy-bargy going on. Godders got up, so all is good.

    Godders is playing well enough to keep his spot every week.

    That's two good weeks in a row by Godders. I'd almost given up on him as a tagger, but now we are playing one on one footy, he has come back into it. I shouldn't have been surprised, one thing we know about Godders is he won't throw in the towel and gives it everything he's got.

    BTW the commentary made specific mention of the incident and said it would be reviewed. There was also an incident with Neita and Harris where he gave away the free and was then dragged. Apparently Neita told the umpires he should be reported for it and they said "OK". Make of that what you will.

    I actually thought Godders was off West in the last, and that is probably where he got most of the ball. Up to half way through the third, he only had 10 or so possies.

    thats 3 weeks - west, burgoyne and goodes

    didnt that incident involving neita end up in a free kick the bulldogs way?

    yeah i agree with that, i looked for both but didnt see much of either. im not sure why they did that, gooders was having a lot of success...maybe they were worried godders was gonna hit back?

    West got frustrated, because Godders was being a pest and following him around like bad breath. I think he just gave him a little wack, Goodes style.

    Well done Godders, that's 3 out of 3... and dare I say it, his 9 disposals were probably all to advantage too! :o

    Yep same incident. I should have said resulted in a free to the bulldogs. The vision afterwards of Neita on the bench showed him speaking to the coach and doing all the talking (when you get dragged you usually do the listening - but Neita was clearly unhappy about something)

    as important as the coach is, i reckon if neita wants to say something, you let him...

    Neita gets fired up, but he's not usually that vocal, he was not a happy camper!

    yeah I wouldnt be talking over him.... especially the mood he was in...

    Great work again from godfrey, he has finally learnt the 'art' of tagging. West was well held and didn't really have any influnce on the game. Looks like Godders knows how to get under people's skin, which i think has defineately helped him become a better tagger .

  • Quote

    They said on the radio it was a season low posession output for West, so there you go, Godders has done his job with aplomb for the third week in a row....

    i was front row between the goal and point post and saw harris smack holland in the back with a elbow and you heard and allmight whack, if there is footage it might be looked at due to the goodes incident

    Yeah condemned. i was there as well. the boundary umpire was right next to it, and did nothing about it. Similar to the Goodes incident. Another gutless act against one of our players

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
