joeboy great start to the season, agree with much of your pithy triplets. Reality is a dish best served up cold.  A trifle harsh on Judd McVee (Jekyll and Hyde). Some excellent moments with a few diabolical lapses. Ed Langdon on my viewing had a (blue colour performance).

Very balanced comments after a loss Joeboy. Sometimes there is nothing positive after a loss but not in this report. Good work Joeboy.

Schace - never again please

I'm not one to bag players, and was more than happy to be open to the idea schache might be OK.

But as we saw with weed, if a player hasn't got instinctive grunt and fire they rarely can develop it.

Slippery night, so the talls get a pass on marking, but his lack of second efforts and inability to hold his ground are woeful.

Both were on display in a contest where Grundy marked on the wing, on his chest. Weak effort by schache. They got a goal as a result.

And those attributes means it hard to see him making it as a second ruck.

Let's dump on Schache

Yay!! A whipping boy!!

I just did/was.

But you make a fair point.

There were plenty of others who played worse.

Langdon was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise horrid night.

Except for his kicking. 

Well I thought Shache was good vs Carlton, but a week is a long time in footy so here goes

Shache Only in emergency

Spargo 97 lucky games

Laurie Back to Casey

Chandler Back to Casey

Sadly we will see him again.

It's what happens when key fwds are out from serious injuries for several seasons and the club just sits around doing nothing about it.

Oh sorry we recruited Grundy for a season. My bad.

Really think we need more from Nibbler.

He seems to have lost a lot of his form.

As has Langdon, Lever and Rivers.

Time for Chandler to find himself at Casey and Laurie should never have left them.

I'm hearing you, but to be fair to Schache, Grundy cannonballed into him and he's much bigger and stronger

He's not a 2nd ruck

And while we're on it, Grundy ran into Gawn ALL night and Gawn did nothing to allay the tactic

Dumb play or dumb coaching?

I think this is the most glaring example of the club/coach/captain’s stubbornness I’ve ever seen.

Grundy rendered Gawn almost useless from the very first bounce and we had absolutely nothing up our sleeve to rectify it.

Dumb play

Lever - an absolute stinker

Laurie - can not execute

Viney - the umpires friend

Howes - an excellent debut

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
