They stopped dead in the last and would've spent a ton of emotional energy. We just need to be on level pegging or sightly ahead early and we will run right over them.

    If we as supporters want to help our players the plan is pretty simple. If you went to the G on Thursday you must turn up again. Better still buy a ticket for a mate. Doesn’t matter if they don’t barrack for the Dees, so long as they hate Carlton and are very loud. 

    Will do but if our players don't listen to their forward line coach what makes you think they'll hear me and my random mate?

    Hopefully we learn from last time they beat us.

    Max has to be ready for DeKoning & pittonet next week.

    We also can't let weitering dominate down back

    Need to wait for official confirmation McKay is in concussion protocols. I’m sensing a Port style ‘mistake’ on the cards…

    Remind me to ping you early next year when Petty kicks 0.3 (two out on the full) after having the ball kicked on his head 21 times.

    Grundie is not and never will be a forward.

    He’s a primary ruckman and a good one

    Your thoughts on Max Gawn as a forward?

    Whatever happens can we just START FAST AND HUNGRY? 

    Show us 0-3 in the last 3 finals burns. 

    Like, actually burns. Enough to come out breathing fire from the FIRST SECOND until the LAST SECOND, and bury these cheating [censored]. 

    We can’t go down 0-4 and 2 straight sets against the blues. We just can’t.

    Definitely need that third tall down back. 100% no brainer. Regardless of McKay playing or not

    Pressure on carlton for 4 quarters will be enough to beat them. They make a lot of silly mistakes.

    Right, because Collingwood kicked a massive score with us having only two talls down back.

    So we go a man down without Gus? Cool idea. Bamboozle them. 

    I dream of premiership defender Petty making an appearance in our forwardline next week 😭

    Sorry Jordon for Gus and Spargo for Laurie. Grundy for Roo

    I’m guessing we will challenge JVR’s ban.

    Because Carlton's tall forwards are comparable to Collingwoods?

    McKay might still play

    Mentally is Grundy still a Demon or has he already checked out of the building?

    I suspect he has at least one foot out the door as he is meeting other clubs while we ae still playing finals.

    We saw how effective Jackson was after his mind left to go west.

    Tomlinson can't compete with any big forward that has a) speed or b) can jump more than 5 cm off the ground so not sure he gets a game unless there is a specific match up that suits - I can't think of one in either Carlton or Sydney (which is the reason Turner played in Sydney)

    JVR shouldn't be suspended but we always seem to be on the wrong side of the Tribunal

    Laurie isn't ready for the heat of finals - I'd also say Chandler would be very lucky to retain his spot - personally prefer Spargo who while not a big possession getter is one of our best and most creative users inside F50 - something we are poor at atm. 

    We lost this game because despite having almost double the number of F50 entries we continue to hack the ball in high and slow - unless we wake up and address that we are going to lose most games, particularly finals. Our efficiency inside F50 of 33% last night is really embarrassing and some real soul searching needs to happen very quickly. 

     

    Judging by the way he waved to the crowd when the camera panned to him last night I'd say yes he has checked out.

    If it frees up May, Lever, Rivers to be more aggressive with their positioning and give us more drive from half-back that's exactly what we need. If it makes us even slower and stodgier moving the ball into our forward line then absolutely not, no thank you.

    No McKay not playing no need. Hibberd did a good enough job.

    McKay and possibly Martin out would be a big help. Against that, when you look at who we've now got out, we need all the help we can get.

      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.
