St.Kilda  to win by 5 goals. Goody has lost the plot.

Hate to say it but I think you may be right.

Question for the MFCSS types - have you been confident about a single game since Round 1, 2021? We'll win this and next week and be 8-4 going into KB. Have to say I'd be very tired being pessimistic all the time.

Every time I get confidence we put up games like last week. Also our form line is nowhere near what the game / loss record suggests.

    It was one game, Langdon wouldn't have made a difference to whether we won or lost.

    Ed has played 17, 24, 23, 25 games since coming to the Dees. He is possibly the most no-fuss player on the list. Turns up almost every week, runs his butt off, then you never hear about him off-field.

    Yes he is paid well to play AFL footy but it was one game. His sister shouldn't have to work her life around him.

    sister getting married far more important than a job.

    that said i would have tried to influence the date she chose and would definitely have told her to forget about September

    We are currently sitting outside the 8.

    There's no way sugar coating this, our form of late has not been up to a top 4 standard and we deserve to be in the position that we find ourselves. 

    Drop tomorrow and things get very interesting from here on.

    Well i’m getting an early night as i’m going to nicely toasted tomorrow 

    18oC and sunny? yes please

    An agonising and frustrating 3 point scrappy win against the Saints?

    can’t wait!

    WCW was at training today. Maybe she could tell us if the boys had some Vicks Vaporub on.

    I’ve heard this rumour and I don’t think there’s any truth to it. Everyone was at training today and everyone looked just fine. The mood was great and the energy was infectious (poor choice of word 🤭). If anyone had Covid, they sure hid it well.

    edit: that extends to the Casey players as well. They trained immediately after the firsts. All were there and no one was unwell.

    We are in the midst of a slump and I doubt Goodwin has the coaching nuance to coach us out of it this week.

    The writing has been on the wall for our forward structure for quite some time and he's even admitted that this week is going to be a "slog". You just know that means we'll score 60 points and some potato for St Kilda will kick a career high 5+ goals in a game-winning performance for them.

    The longer it takes Goodwin and his team to realise that Fritsch should be played as an isolated key forward that can kick 50-60 goals a year ala Jack Reiwoldt, the longer we will be a middling finals and mid-table team.

    Goodwin badly needs to reinvent how this team is coached and plays otherwise he risks turning into Ross Lyon 2.0 or Ken Hinkley 2.0. I'm willing to bet it won't happen this week and St Kilda paying $3+ is ridiculously good money. An underperforming good team is an easier beat, than an average team in the midst of a slump looking for a win.

    Classic Demonland. 

    There’s a thread right now in which heaps of posters are bemoaning how much Goodwin has changed us this year and begging us to go back to what we were doing in 2022-23.

    Thankfully the ladder isn’t determined by where teams sit in the middle of a round.

    A win tomorrow will have us 5th, could have us 4th subject to percentage.

    • 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.
