I’m confused about the positive press GC are getting.

They’ll be 3-3 at the end of the round and their 3 wins have come at home against bottom 4 sides.

I’m pretty sure they could’ve managed 3-3 under Dew.

    Going back to the filth match, why did the commentators insist on calling Hill "Bobby Hill" when he was the only player on the ground with that surname?

    They did it EVERY TIME he got the ball, well other than the 2 times (in a row) that Der-Wayne called him "Bobby".

     I think this issue is more interesting than any discussion about the Swans/GC snoozefest.

    Hope Goodwin is watching Grundy, biggest monumental stuff up by our club and  when Gawn retires soon, needed more time to make this work!

    You a little obsessed about this name thing, Bingers? 😅

    Brereton is the most patronising commentator. He’s just so condescending.

    I cannot stand him. He says every single comment like it’s the most profound thing you’re ever gonna hear. In his mind, every time he draws breath to make a comment he’s the Dalai Lama and we’re his devoted adherents.

    EXACTLY!!! I can’t believe people are still carrying on about this, especially when they clearly don’t know enough to justify passing judgement.

    That was James Kelly pretending to fall asleep during the song, and iirc he was duly sch!tt-canned for doing so by the media and neutral supporters, in general.

    I can’t imagine a player despising a club to the point of not considering a move to that club based only on that club’s dark past. Especially when that club has been successful of late including having won a premiership recently. If Yeo despises the Dees, there must be some other reason. Maybe a personal reason. 🤷‍♀️ 

    Point of order dear friend, I seem to remember a certain Angus Brayshaw on Gus and Gawny saying he would rather eat his own (checks himself)  than go to WCE... something is up there.

    They still have something different this year. I actually think Dimma got out coached today, Sydney has done an excellent job of stifling GC run and rebound. GC should also have rejigged its defensive forwards.

    Brisbane lost to Geelong on their home ground in conditions they should be more used to. And Brisbane has beaten us in our last two clashes. It just worries me. I hope your optimism proves justified, @binman

    For the record, we defeated Brisbane toward the end of last year. In what would have been part of an 8-game winning streak heading into the finals were it not for a dodgy score review against Carlton.

    I can't stand the pies, but to be honest it's more the media sycophantic saturation in the last two years that I really hate (though  I'm still disgusted with their fans booing Gus after being concussed)..

    But really the only team I hate is the hawks. 

    Leigh Matthews knocking Steven Smith out.

    The prelim heart break.

    Jarman refusing to come to the dees, and instead going to the hawks.

    The grand final heart break.

    The long run of losses.

    The way they seemed to relish bullying and beating us.

    Their smug MCC wannabes fans. 

    Their stupid jumper. 

    Jeff Kennett.

    Other commentators do this too. But they don’t try to make Martin Luther King sound like he’s having a chin-wag with a buddy for S&Gs.

    Has anyone here ever met someone that follows North Melbourne?

    Once, 20 years ago. She was a co-worker, and pretty passionate to be fair. Wore here North jumper to work on game day, and wouldn't work when a game was on (she'd finish her shift then bolt to the G or Telstra Dome to watch).

    My problem with Derm and other special commentators of a certain type is that they spend the whole game telling you what the players "should have done" or "were trying to do" instead of what's actually happening. They're trying to be coaches when they should be analysts.

    • 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.
