The free kick against Balta for the push in the back, late in the game, in front of the goal, was a shocker. Perfectly executed tackle. should have been HTB against Carlton.

I know its a tough game to umpire but that was pure incompetence. 

 

Interesting to read Voss’ comments this morning about their heavy loading over the past 4 weeks, and that their strategy has been to effectively use the early bye as their season starter.

Wonder what our strategy is?

Don't mention the L word.

Seems to be extremely triggering for some on here.

Can you post a link to voss' comments please.

Thanks in advance.

Also that TDK 50 metres (more like 65 metres) penalty and goal didn't help. 50 metres penalty wasn't even there in the first place. 🙄

Particularly those that think considering potential mitigating factors to help understand a poor performance equals making excuses.

But on serious note, that's an interesting comment from Voss. Would help explain their fade out against the blues, and perhaps also their strategy to attack so aggressively early (ie to build a winning buffer).

Can you post a link to voss' comments please.

Thanks in advance.


It was at the 7:50 mark of his post match press conference:

That's a great point about attacking early to create a buffer.

I was taken aback when he said they have been planning this since November… it’s some serious forethought and strategy.

I have always been a big fan of early momentum. Given the top 8 is typically settled after round 8 its critical to get off to a good start

I'd be filthy if I was a tigers fan.

How could the AFL not find a way to ensure the tigers had at least a 6 day break. Ridiculous.

I went to a music trivia night at a brewery instead of watching Carlton and I won a slab. I'd call that a win I guess.

@binman just wondering on your thoughts of the Richmond gameplan and style with Yze in charge? 

 


did anyone else notice cripps throw the ball from underneath the pack to cerra for the snap goal in last quarter?

He's making a habit of this lately old Crippa and getting away with it.

Agree - applies to both individual games and seasons.

Def a calculated gamble by the lions to risk early season losses by tinkering with their fitness program, if that's what they've done (I haven't watched the clip yet).

One they obviously think is worth taking.

3 ACLs in 5 games.

AFL scheduling 5 day turnarounds and four games in humid conditions on slippery grounds.

Nothing to see here.

  • 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.
