Yeah haven’t seen the first half Picket but he’s decision making in the fourth has been strange.

Billings has been great!

No he hasn’t, moments of class but he’s a few steps behind in pressure and contested work.

    Hard to read much from a practice match, but some positives so far:

    Windsor and Brown do not look out of place. Verrall also.

    Rivers strong improvement continues. McVee plays like he's been at this level for 10 years

    Kossie in the middle for more than the first bounce of each qtr is great

    Billings getting a bit of it.

    Viney is massive for our midfield

    A few negatives so far:

    The fumble attempts at marking, particularly by May and Lever

    Turn overs killing us, poor decision making and handball execution

    Lack of pressure in defence. Bolton must have the pox, he's that clear

    Still too many long bombs and poor conversion in front of goal

    Is Langdon playing? Just ran down an opponent, so just noticed him

    Give me his moments of class than our classless turnover merchants!

    Not sure what we’ve done to Windsor’s kicking but he’s now holding the ball funny and hitting the inside of the foot on half of them. He’s been nicely Melbourne’d

    Big prediction, but we look bottom 8. You can focus on who is not out there, but the foot skills are as bad as any side in the league

    Its just scratch game but we still seem lacking up fwd.

    What?

    I’m not too concerned about our defense. 
    They’re clearly working of fast ball movement but the skills is still a concern. Sometimes they’re biting off more that they can chew but that’s why it’s a practice match. They are looking at what is working and what is not.

    Hasn’t had an amazing day by any stretch but it’s good signs from JVR you can tell he’s taken a step

    Conversion was off today but otherwise he's looking ominous as a strong marking forward target for us.

    I thought you were backing me up on the whole it’s a practice match thing.

    Yeah no doubt. But defs needs to tidy up his disposal.

      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.
