Poor old Matthew Nicks sounded bereft in his presser and they're only four games into their season. 

He may be starting to hear the sound of steel sliding over a whetstone from the Crows boardroom.

Lock us in for consecutive Adelaide games next year! Go Dees!

Two not so positive aspects. What's happened to JvR's marking? Hard hands tonight. Had the chance to mark four or five times 20 to 30 out. Bounced off his hands.

IMO he's exhausted from the rucking role by the time he competes in the air. He did mark and goal at a crucial moment and I thought his tap work was excellent. He's becoming a really handy ruck, which gets him into the game. 

As his tank improves, his marking will improve.

And Billings. Not convinced he likes the heat of battle and kicking was abysmal.

Could have had a big night on the scoreboard, but his tackling and general contest game I felt was droppable. I think we'll see his best against Brisbane though.

I thought he was very poor and should've been subbed off for Taj during the 3rd quarter. I understand why they subbed Brown off but Billings was bad, he missed his chances but worse was his tackling, let multiple tackles slip which allowed the Crows to attack when they should've been held up or turned over.

He'll have Lachie Hunter breathing down his neck now that he is available again.

 Inexplicable umpiring at times!

 

No it was explicable.

Incompetent, simply umpiring to the crowd.

The rules went out the window and it was purely appease the crowd.

TBH that umpiring display was shameful.

Gather round, home side winless and being talked up by everyone from the Premier and Dillon down and packed crowd of Crows fans.

No surprises there.

Unlikely, they re-signed him preseason

Who is the chick who was in one of the world’s most iconic girl groups but nobody recognizes her?

My problem is that I don’t recognize her.

I think you're thinking of Divine.

If you check at the 1min 44 sec mark, that's Tex gazing into her eyes.

Why didn't they talk about or even replay the clear push on Rivers by Dawson?

I wondered the same thing as well. No replay at all. It was just such a blatant push in the back.

Two wins in a row interstate is a job well done. Take the 8 points and come home fellas.

The umpires stank.

I would love to see the insufficient intent free statistics at Adelaide Oval. It only ever gets paid one way!

I was at the game, thankfully sitting in a bay full of fellow Dee supporters. The noise and booing from the crowd was deafening. My Apple Watch was alarming constantly as the decibels were off the chart.

Steven May is my hero. What a gutsy performance. He was obviously in considerable discomfort but played his heart out. I thought Tommy Mac was great but don’t get me started on the umpires 🤬🤬

They totally got sucked in by the crowd and were so inconsistent with their decisions - absolutely appalling.

Well done team. My first game at the Adelaide Oval and I definitely don’t see what the fuss is about. The MCG is the true home of football.

All class from Fritta

 

That was deadset elite and you just knew as soon as he marked it, he'd kick it straight through the middle.

Take the 2 wins away in 5 days every time regardless of how, a few banged up players out there, specially Oliver and Brown not sure either should be playing next week unless they make a miracle recovery I’d be giving both an extra long break to get ready for the Anzac game.

Or he missed three very gettable goals which puts the pressure back on us. A 3-4 goal buffer instead of a 6-7 goal buffer.

What stood out most though is Melbourne pride themselves on contest and defence. Billings provides none of that. His kicking and ball use against Hawthorn was good. They gave him space. In tight contested games like Port and this one, he doesn't want to know about it which is very un-Melbourne like.

 

I'm not convinced. If he kicks those 3 goals he's a hero. I'll watch his defensive and contested efforts more closely from now on sparked by your comments. Lets see how he goes... 

 

Thought Sparrow played a good game. Winning 50-50 contests and spent more time in the middle. With more games like that who needs enemies?

And the free kick count was kept under wraps.

  • 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.
