For starters

Luke Jackson-Fullerton/Schache

That’s the number 1 problem this year 

Losing Brayshaw and Jordon.
Angus was never going to pass a medical after last September, We let Jordon go way too easily 

I hope McAdam can show us something, but he is very injury prone, if you know any Crows Supporters, they weren’t too fussed losing him

They weren't too fussed after they knew McAdam was leaving but before he was leaving they wanted a straight swap for Petty.

It took them a couple of weeks to work out it wasn't happening.

He played well for them for a 3 year period.

    McAdam played some good games at Crom, but he hasn’t had consistency yet. If we can get that out of him, then he will be an asset. 
    His kicking sure let him down last week.

    Of course the club with the most frees by far, gets a quiet patch in a game and the Coach is complaining about umpiring.

    Blues just must have every free.

    Anyone watch the Giants beat the cats at the cattery.  Wow. They were desperate.  They missed chances in the first half and early in the third quarter.  Giants should have been 8 goals up but at 5 goals, the cats clawed their way back.  Yet even with the home town fans screaming for the cats, the giants held on and then got the last goals through a piece of Greene magic. Their pressure then to hang on and keep the cats scoreless in the last 8 minutes.  Bodies on the line.  Tackles that held.  Yes held the player up.  
     

    I honestly would love to see Dees take our intensity to lift to this level.  We show it in parts.  Yes in parts only and certainly not at the start of games.

    Somehow we got comfortable. Maybe the Dees got “ freed from desire “ too much after 2021.  Goody also got comfortable imv and needs 240 volts as well.

    Essential viewing:

    The Scott press conference.

    Old mate Scotty didn't disappointed.

    I admire his confidence.

    He could have gone safe in his attempt to win the coveted Poor sportsmanship- coaches division award (or as it is colloquially known, the sour puss).

    After all  he has a handy lead over mcrae, who has surged of late, scoring big with his patented go to passive aggressive routine.

    But, no, Scotty decided to attempt the rare triple pay the opponents no respect move - and totally nailed it. Respect.

    The cats apparently played poorly for 3 quarters against the giants, port and dees - and still almost won (he got bonus points for using the under a goal line - the judges loved it).

    Though he missed a chance to try the even rarer quadruple disrespect trick by not disrespecting the suns a bit more.

    Though he did pick up some easy points by acting if having 160 points scored against them is no big deal.

    And really, probably didn't need the extra points after totally nailing his signature 'no disrespect with a backhanded compliment twist' trick.

    As scott noted, a big factor in the game was the giants taking contested marks

    But, with 'no disrespect', the giants' old school strategy of kicking long to a contest was very basic - but only worked because the cats marked poorly.

    And the judges gave Scott extra points for that trick for the litte twist only the true sour puss aficionados would have picked up - that backhanded compliment was the ONLY time he mentioned the Giants.

    Personally, I loved how Scotty slipped in the tried and true trick of, apropos of nothing, mentioning that the cats have young players (all 3 of them)

    A bravura performance.

    I was at Marvel Stadium yesterday. A solid, professional win by the Blues. It could have blown out further but I think Carlton were easing up in the last 10 minutes of 4th quarter as they play Port in Adelaide on Thursday. Voss made some interesting selections and positional changes (they all worked), a bit adventurous for him, seems to be evolving as a coach now 🤔

    The Suns are a solid team now and will get better. Mac Andrew will be a star. Not sure what Max King's contract status is but the Dees should definitely be chasing him as it could be one of those 'missing piece' signings.

    I caught some of Geelong v GWS on Kayo and did watch all of the last quarter. Both teams were annointed as likely Premiers early in the season and both faltered since. Gritty win by GWS away in Geelong, this might get their season back on track.

    I know they choked it last week. But i fear that disgusting brown Hawk thing will be back making havoc soon.

    Is that Brisbane out of the finals race or does their draw keep them just barely clinging on?

    They would need to pick up a game on the Dogs, two games on Freo and Gold Coast, and also three games on one of the current top 7.

    Done, with the amount of injuries they have.

    We should have smashed the Eagles last week. This is the side they are and we didn’t show up, expected a win without effort and got embarrassed by a cellar dweller. Nothing can convince me otherwise. 

    This game will likely cost a top 4 spot.

    Really cringeworthy too see Essendon in second place.

    It's just sickening watching this crows Eagles game after west coast looked like this star team last week & seeing them perform like this.

    We should not have lost that game last week.

    The only thing worse than losing is playing a slow, defensive garbage game style and losing, while at the same time having an deep lack of talent from systemically overrating and overestimating your list. 

    I don't see a way forward for the Saints that doesn't involve bottoming out completely

    • 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.

    • 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.
