Looking at the Cats v Blues game (which is a ripper to watch) I reckon 5 teams are now positioned to be genuine contenders. Cats, Blues, Giants, Swans and Dees. I feel there is a gap after this. All 5 have shown finals winning football. It is about bringing both pressure AND skills together in a game on the day, and any of the 5 can beat the other team if they bring these two components on the day.

Can't wait for us to play Blues & Cats - should be great games.

    A flag & 3 top 4 finishes and yet our club can’t attract a gun fwd, watching Camero, the  blues fwds & the best we can do is Brown with a banged knee and fortunate it lasted in 2021. 

    Who do you suggest we should have recruited?

    May be premature to be definitive about us. In two weeks we will know I reckon.

    The Grundy idea seemed like a good idea at the time. But yeah there did seem to be nobody available.

    I feel pretty good about our top 4 aspirations, especially based on our defensive strength. We rarely get 80 points scored against us, and we have a LOT of improvement available.

    It’s been an issue since we lost Hogan & yes we got May, the Grundy deal was a disaster! Did we look at Peter Wright? Did we go hard at any of the king bros? It just appeared our recruiters were not looking to draft any kpp fwds

    This is such a good game for us - an opportunity for the coaches to really study the weaknesses in these teams. Geelong clearly have a powerful forward line but their rucks and mids are getting thrashed. We need to exploit that. With Carlton, they are doing a great job of getting good attacking clearances from the middle. We need to make sure we have a defensive sweeper at centre bounces - perhaps they could give that role to Sparrow. But it is all on display for us to learn from.

    No chance Danger plays next week if he’s got even a slight hamstring awareness. With his history and at his age, they won’t risk it.

    Have had for the last 20 years. Their fixture alone will get them into finals pretty much every year

    They play to their strengths. Move the ball better than any team. 

    Carlton win clearances and contested ball but it is chaos and must be so taxing physically. Cats sit off.

    If Melb. are to beat them our outside runners are going to have to have a day out.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
