    Because we were ot good enough for a half of footy. Our midfield is wildly out of form.

    Sydney are the team to beat. There is no doubt about it. Thank goodness grand finals are not played on that postage stamp ground. 
     

    Very important to finish top 2 or on the non Sydney side of the draw to avoid playing them at home.

    That’s a Sydney members only section. We sit in the pocket a few bays around from them. 

    Appreciate that, not sure how that’s fair though.

    Winning the center.

    Winning loose ball contested

    Winning more of the 1 v 1s

    Holding up across HB

    The Swans have a number of VG running mid types in size who are strong at the contest, over the ball and able to burst out of congestion

    Their entries inside are mostly either quick kicks / bombs to the square and/or looking to target a free player  near the hot zones after going wide via the flanks.

    If the ball hits the deck inside 50 they're super competitive here also and quick to pounce if it gets to the outside

    Gonna be very hard to beat if they hold form and not too many injuries

    LOL. At this rate Carlton will finish this weekend 10th with a % under 100.

    WCW likely to have an answer. Probably the same reason that the Cats, prior to the new stand being built, had the away cheer squad on the flank. For some reason seats behind the goals are highly sought after. I reckon the GFC were told by the AFL they had to hand over one end (for TV purposes) when the new stand was built. 

    At Mordor we sat on the wing (next to the race, absolutely freezing) while construction of the new stand was underway. Now that it’s complete, the Geelong cheer squad sit behind the goals in the new stand and opposition cheer squads sit in their old bay.

    We did beat them for 3 quarters, by 37 points, and they were absolutely perfect for the other.

    Bedford Jordan and Grundy, would love that depth, I think Jordan plays a more accountable game than Sparrow. Good luck to them all, not complaining just observing.

    very impressive from the Swans.

    always enjoyable watching Carlton get thumped

    Sydney haven’t had their captain(Mills) all season. He’s back in the coming weeks. Plus they are without their best defender tonight too. I had thought they were over rated, time to have a rethink.

    They are playing very good now. But so were GWS before they hit a wall. Look at Geelong 3 on the trot now. Can happen anytime. The only time you want to start to look invincible is 2 weeks from finals not now. 

    The only advantage for them is to manage the load of their players. So they are fresh going into finals.

    Carlton getting a solid reality check here

    We should have iced those dorks last wk 😔

    Looking back, aside from the tigers’ win against the swans, we have been the closest to them - with a 22 point loss - and we played like TRASH - and were in it at 3Q (2 points down) before they ran away with it in the conditions.

    Gives some comfort I guess. 

    Anyway, good to see the blues getting smoked. Just wish we did it!

    I know the set up coz I live 25km from the ground and a heap of my mates are Cats’ members. Whenever they’ve built a new stand they’ve relocated supporter groups, usually to a better spot.

    We could be 4 points and more than 20% clear of the blues by the end of the round.

    That’s the thing. They kicked every goal going forward in that first quarter.

    I know it’s a constant source of frustration here, but on expected score we won that game by 20+ points.

    • 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.
