Umpire News:

The umpires for this evening are,

21 Simon Meredith

22 Nathan Williamson

27 Andre Gianfagna

32 Jacob Mollison

These umpires did not officiate in either of the Melbourne v Carlton games in 2023

Three of them (21, 22, 27) officiated in our round 24 match against Sydney. The free kick tally in that game was Demons 18, Sydney 10.

Carlton have had Meredith 4 times in 2023, Williamson 4 times, Mollison 4 times and Gianfagna once.

We have had Meredith 3 times, Williamson 5 times, Mollison 3 times and Gianfagna 5 times.

Only bad omen I can see is that we had Meredith and Williamson against Essendon, but still managed to get 23 frees to 19.

I only ask for two things from our games: a fair run with the umpires , and the team to have an honest crack, don’t play dumb and kick straight (ok, 4)

If we still lose with all that, then fair enough. 
 

oh, one last thing - I hope we don’t have feral sniper thugs take our players out. I always wish that.

    Dees at the 'G are living proof there is no such thing as home ground advantage. We have won 11 from 15 at the 'G this year (not all home" games, obviously) so hardly a fortress. And, as for finals at the 'G, we've had nothing since 2018 (mainly due to Covid in 2021, admittedly).  Is playing at the 'G against co-tenants different to playing a proper away team? Do we have a home ground advantage against co-tenant Carlton tonight? Even if it is our "home" game, the Carlton crowd is likely to be louder. Where is the advantage?   

    Yes, we should have gotten 75% of the tickets

    Sorting my timber stack, very similar to moving deck chairs on the titanic. Put timber there……back to here next month…….and so it goes. We shouldn’t have had to play tonight. 

    Ok. That is a reminder.  Order some fire wood 4 next winter.    Have not had the fire on for 3 weeks  pretty soon we will be opening all windows to get a breeze.

    Kozzy actually had a better game last week than I thought he did. Was in everything in the second quarter and could’ve had 2 goals on the board that quarter had Fritsch actually applied a shepherd on the goal line to prevent Murphy from touching it.

    Wonder if he has a 3-4 goal performance because you’ll know he’ll probably have 3-4 shots at goal.

    Salem is grossly out of form and may be paying the price for his interrupted pre season and knee injury in the early rounds.

    I was bemoaning the absence of our small forwards at the end of the first quarter last week, but Kozzie was one of the first players to step up in the second quarter. I hope he has a big one and gets more reward on the score board 👍

    Just at the dentist with a tooth ache on a tooth that just had a root canal filling. Surly the day is going to get better.

    If they bomb it in we lose!

    Need to play trac fwd! 

    The Grundy situation is embarrassing and feel for him, should be playing or what was the point and will go down as the most botched up trade ever. Club has gotten most trades right and can’t question the talent from late picks but this one will hurt & tarnish a few as it’s backfired

    I’ve done way more work today than I did last Thursday in the lead up to the game. I call that a win. 

    Me too Jaded, was actually my most productive day of the week. 

    Human psychology is a funny thing isn't it.


    Me and the Fam heading to the G shortly in good form with the Prelim and GF wins at Subiaco our most recent Finals 👍

    Thinking the loss of Gus early unsettled us last week, expecting our defensive pressure to be dialled up considerably this week and will be too much for the Blues over 4 qtrs.

    Go Dees

    I think there should be a 20% productivity rule on days your team is playing in a final.

    Mind you, I'd still probably fail but it's a low bar to aim for!

    • 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.
