“Carlton and Giants to play off in the GF”

hang on, it’s only April, maybe we should wait til round ten for these dumb comments?

Equally people should not be writing teams off based on a loss, or in Carlton's case two in a row (not suggesting you are suggesting that dub).

So any posters who are not not writing the blues off, or the giants for getting touched up by the swans, or port for getting smashed by the crows, please consider doing the same for the dees tonight if we lose to the team that us currently unbeaten.

Like some did when we got beaten by the swans and lions.

Home and away games, particularly in the first half of the season, mean very little in the scheme of things in terms of being a guide to a team's premiership chances.

It's all about finishing top 4, then resetting. 

How the hell we overlooked Wilson is beyond me. Would’ve set us up well. Saints have drafted well of late. Many write them off, but they have good youth coming through. Evident that they do need a key back though.

If a team is regularly losing to other contenders in the home and away season, it’s normally a pretty good indication that their not good enough. 
 

The next couple of games are massive in the fortunes for us for this year in my opinion. 

Norf are excruciatingly bad.

Or should that be Norf IS excruciatingly bad?

I can see an argument for both ... Norf, the players (plural) of Norf the side (singular).

WCW ???

Sure. Regularly being the key word.

The giants have now been beaten by two contenders - the blues and the swans.

Is that regularly?

They haven't played another contender yet, unless you count the pies in OR. Which most wouldn't.

So, really they have beaten noone. Yet they were flag favorites and everyone was gushing over them.

Is anyone serious discounting them after being smashed today?

But I agree the next two games are important.

But not because we have to prove we are contenders. Because both are against teams who we are competing against for a top 4 slot. Classic 8 points game.

There are two sorts of supporters in this world.

Each game is an 'audit' (ugh) of your capabilities and extrapolated out to your teams ability to reach a specific outcome

or

Each game is taken case by case, context specific, as a way of making sense of the overall trajectory of the team and it's potential throughout the season.

Choose your weapon.**

We chose Windsor & Kolt ahead of him. I’m more than happy with JT’s choices.

I certainly aren’t discounting GWS after today. For me off the back of four straight finals losses if we continue to fail against other genuine premiership contenders in the home and away season we are no chance come finals time. 

If we win one of the next two games I will hold onto hope we can legitimately contend this year.

Windsor has been good so far 

Kolt vs Wilson ? On exposed form Wilson is ahead

Continue?

We have lost to grand total of one game to a contender this season. The swans.

Most rate port as a contender. I don't but we beat them on their home deck in one of the performances of the season.

You are giving the giants a pass even though they have lost to TWO contenders but not extending the same logic to us? 

You are making my point that many dees fans apply a different set of rules to us than other teams in terms of assessing our chances of winning the flag.

Losing to Brisvegas in their current situation was very poor on our home deck. 
we should have ripped their little heart right out. 
But i am certain you will disagree

LOL.

Fake side. They will get found out soon enough.

 

Looks like a lot of the Tiger Army have been captured by the enemy or are MIA. 


Ooz coaching the Tigers is annoying. I can’t revel in them being smacked to quite the same degree.

Will he be back into the fold in the near future? Perhaps after Goodwin passes the torch?

Hopefully so. Assuming he does a good job. Not getting anything close to a decent run at it with their injuries.

 

And with that The pies are out of the 8 again

Blues clinging onto 8th spot

Life is good

  • 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.

    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.
