We could win a three-peat and Brereton would still think we weren't much chop.

    I wish we weren’t one of the teams playing tonight… and the frees weren’t so heavily in our favour

    Have a feeling umpires will try even up the tally this half.

    we really need to be careful and make sure we take full advantage going forward

    Port are beating us easily in all stats

    I reckon we can get this home. We just need our midfield to click

    And Roo to step up. He needs to start clunking some marks, or just making a contest to bring the ball to ground.

    Need many of our lesser lights to shine in the second half.

    Time for Riv, Sparrow, Fritsch, BBB and Kozzie to get angst it more. Would be handy if Billing’s, JVR & Salem decided to play some football too.

    With Port three goals in front and kicking from dead in front for a fourth to our nil in the first quarter, I'm sure most of us would have happily taken a half-time scoreline that's dead level.  

    The momentum is swinging back and forth.  It's anyone's game!  (brave call, I know)

    I did notice a few players skidding along the grass longer than usual. Looks a bit greasy 

    That would explain a bit.

     

    A lot of very quiet players- Billing’s looks half hearted with only 2 disposals and can’t stick a tackle. ANB’s individual effort that gave Viney a goal was superb. Salem with 3 - WTF. Chin Chandler has become very important. I used to think Rivers could kick - don’t any more.

    our tackling is still not great, and we seem to be constantly turning the ball over from the backline or going into attack. keep trying to kick to ben Brown how is getting out marked most of the time, need to have our small leading up. Kozzie needs to do more. well actually a lot of players need to do more. our backline all things consider is trying a lot of pressure on them, our forward line not such a great day so far, time to turn that around

    While I'd so love to see Petty up forward, he really is good down back.

    Agree with all this except I think Kozzy has been okay.

    feel like we’re 3 or 4 goals behind somehow. Just hanging in there but being outplayed imo.

    We've got a lot of improvement in us if we can realise it 


    Viney’s goal - goosebumps

    kind of bummed we didn’t consolidate our lead but we are in this. Will be a tussle all night, so just need to have our noses in front at the end. Fritsch needs to get involved.

    big start to q3 please!!

    Needs to play a more true CHF role imv.

    He's playing from behind too often when starting deeper and getting lead to the ball.

    BBB deeper to drag their tallest defender away from the drop which might help Roo take a few grabs and/or get to the contest (in front) more often and bring the ball to ground.  Kozzy, Chin, ANB and Vins around his feet.

    I wouldn't agree. We started three goals down and when we've taken control, We've looked the better team.

    Very even game. Worried Bout the crowd and the umps if it stays close.

    We still have plenty of room to kick up a gear.

    It is a really good hard contest. They are getting more of the ball, but our backline system is stemming the flood (which is our normal state of play).

    I feel we are getting murdered at the ball drop, perhaps we are setting up with too much of an attacking mindset. Also, they are getting it to their half forward line too easily with a lot of link up play unpressured through he middle of the ground. And our achilles heel - field kicking -  Grrrr. Fumbly again. Grrr.

    We look far too good pressing forward against their defensive structure - just have to take more of an advantage.

    Viney, ANB and Petty doing well.

    JVR, Billings and Salem - are they playing?

      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.
