Like so many others, I feel totally flat after the Maynard debacle.

I'm going to the match tomorrow. I guess I'll get my mojo back by then. Hopefully the players do the same, particularly at the start of the match!! 

I'm waxing between CGAF and don't let the AFL bastards win.

I hope the players are switched on from the start.

    The Maynard hit is in my rear vision mirror now.

    But it will come into sharp focus when we next play them. We will see in that match the truth about his innocence and mindset. Or at the least what the dees think about that. 

    If the dees players go after him we will know for sure the dees believe it was, if not premeditated, at the very least opportunistic and deliberate to iron Gus out.

    I don't understand why our opponents seem to dominate centre clearances, especially at the start of matches.

    And particularly as our midfield personnel are so highly rated.

     

    Overrated perhaps

    Why are we wanting to go taller in our defence?

    Because it allows Lever to play his natural intercept game, instead of worrying about playing on their resting ruck.

    He can help May against Curnow, who is probably the best tall forward in the league, and it leaves Tomlinson to worry about Pitonett or De Koning.

    The proof of our success when we play 3 talls is in the pudding. We rarely lose when this is the setup we go with.

    So no Turner, or does Joshua Dawe not know who that is?

    He probably presumes most Melbourne supporters don’t know who he is. :)

    He presumes wrong. 99% of Melbourne supporters would know who he is. He played 2 weeks ago against Sydney.

    We really need kossie to stand up this week. Been down for a while and missed gettable goals. Need at least 2 from him and a high pressure crumbing ,tackling game. Him flying for marks makes it to easy for the opposition to clear. Kozzie is about 1 from 80 so it's a low percentage play.

    Yeah I hate this new fly for everything from him, he should be front and centre while the talls bring it to ground, so frustrating.

    Clever tactic by the Blues. Not playing Silvagni might entice us not to play a third tall down back. Well played Vossy.

    Happy with Tommo's inclusion in the hope it does free Lever.

    I am flat about No Woewodin. In the minority obviously but I love what he brings with his kicking.

    Hibberd kept tabs on Eliot !!! We lost this match at selection table Grundy should have been selected He would have put a knee into the goggled Yank 

     

    Goodwin has to learn that finals are much more physical Grundy had to start against sooky Cox He’s more physical than Max and wouldn’t have been 0/9 in tap outs No wonder we started poorly Even use Tomlinson in ruck not JVR

    tomlinson and Grundy will be 2 more additions making us comparable to Carlton’s falls. 

    Gawn in forward line and grundy to ruck.

    We ran Collingwood off its feet because we didn’t have heaps of talls. We had more agile players that could grunt run. Reminder, we win that game if we kick even remotely straight. Let Carlton go super tall, don’t fall into the trap of having to select a team to match them. Stick to our strengths, we will out run them.

    • 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.
