McVee supurb, Windsor keeps on going...

Our mids get cooked two weeks straight is a concern

Define cooked?

We were +2 CPs and +4 clearances.

 

That was a very 'Melbourne Season 2023' type game.  

Bit of an ugly mess, but effective D all over the ground.

 

 

I thought Billings played well. If he kicked straight he could have had 3 goals.

A hint of 21 about this season.

I thought 2022 in some ways.

We're still spluttering a bit but getting the job done.

Lots of players down a bit.

Billings, ANB, Clarry, Viney, Langdon. Salem

But, so many great efforts carrying us through.

Petracca, one of the best games I've seen him play. He just busted through so many packs.

TMac, May, Lever, McVee, Kozzie, Gawn all carried us through.

That tackling in the last quarter was inspirational. You could also see the skill difference at the end. We were just much cleaner gathering the ball in contests.

JVR, he's copped a lot of criticism but I reckon he's just competing around the ground so well. More marks and goals will follow. I think he's going to be am awesome KPF for us.

And Windsor, week by week, he's just looking more like Robbie Flower. Some rookies have a couple of good ones and then fade. Caleb seems to be just growing in confidence and stature.

I scoffed a bit at the Robbie comparisons at first but I'm really starting to see it.

We're getting the job done without being spectacular at the right end of the season.

One more big one next week and then we can take a well earned breath.

Go Dees

In 5 days they’ve done

549 km

638 disposals

122 tackles

49 scoring shots

… and 2/2 wins - so bloody good

Go Dees

 

There always seems to be someone to cover.

The core group is in good form and a few have really stepped up Last week ANB and this week McVee.

The young guys have really come on and are playing starring cameos

Windsor ….what a side step!

Absolutely rapt to get the 8pts from SA. I thought we were going to run away with it, but to Adelaide’s credit, they really cracked in for the last qtr. The only real downer is Pickett likely to miss 1 week. He’s probably our second best forward and gives us midfield creativity so it’s a massive loss against a Brisbane team who will be desperate.


That was a very professional win. Paced ourselves well considering the 5-day break. Two have played three interstate games against teams who finished 3rd, 8th, and 9th last year after 5 games and sitting 4-1 is fantastic. Another win against the Lions in 7 days and we reach our bye 6-1, with the chance to refresh and hit the middle of the season with momentum!

I'm loving what Clarry is doing at the moment, he's clearly nowhere near his best, getting a lot of attention but he's battling his [censored] off and playing a team role when it's needed! what i absolutely love is i think previously Clarry would have gotten frustrated and given away stupid free kicks when he's not flying, but now he just seems to want to help the team win. 

he's had a very hard time clearly and not helped himself but geez it's good to see the redemption arc that's playing out in 2024 

His busted hand is forcing him to kick more too, which isn't a bad thing.

How good is Windsor? 
Blown away by his poise, footy IQ, and ability to win the contest. 10/10 drafting again. 

Can't wait to see Tholstrup in the 1s as well. I have a feeling he'll be another JT special.

Edited by Dr. Gonzo

Mr Score Involvement Christian Petracca does it again with 10. Along with 29 touches, 15 contested, 8 clearances and a goal.

Give the guy a Brownlow 

Can see why Adelaide want Petty. Solid best 22 either end of the ground and they have few like him.   He would help them immensely.  But now would he want to leave?

Sparrow played 98% Midfield and 2% forward tonight. Rounds 0-3 he was 46% midfield.

A very solid game by Tommy tonight.

That smother that led to Trac's goal 👌

The only real negative for tonight is  Kozzie’s likely suspension. We really need him next week. Not a lot in it, but enough in today’s game and completely avoidable and unnecessary. 

All good. I think you'll find that the bio mechanics expert will show that the Adelaide player changed direction at the crucial moment. Precedence has been recently been set...

Massive 2nd half in those areas.

Oh yeah anyone got that guy's phone number?

Had a look at the odds for the Coleman pre game. Fritter was paying 34-1 and only a goal behind the lead. Should have snapped it up.

Play of the game for me. Absolute stunningness or some other superlative that BT would use.

Petty rethinking that potential crows trade. they look terrible

Twomey has suggested that, given their poor start, Adelaide wouldn’t want to have to deal such a high (top 5 atm) pick to us and will wait until his contract runs down in two years. This might actually strengthen our hand in any upcoming extension talks.

There was absolutely nothing in it at all. He will probably get a week but may get a fine with low impact considering Soligo got straight up and took his kick. I can't believe that is "suspendable" these days he basically brushed him after jumping up to deflect the ball. Didn't iron him out like Maynard on Brayshaw but the AFL will use that exact example to say, "see this year we've changed the rukes if you attempt to smother and bump someone high you will get suspended".

  • 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.

  • 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.
