Sunday becomes a massive game for us now. Stay injury free and we can take care of the Pies next week.  After the bye it's North, Lions, Eagles & Bombers. Three of those at the MCG. Definitely not getting ahead of myself but this one could set us up. Stop them at the source and we're a real chance. I hope we're not carried away with last weeks win. Saints awful.  Having said that,it was a huge win and encouraging signs. Imagine if we can get a bigger output from Petty, Mcadam and, to a lesser extent, Fritsch. Even Clarry and Viney have a cog or two they can add. Good at their best Freo but still putting some store on the fact we have played in Alice Springs 11 times and this is their first.

Playing the eagles twice in what , 6 weeks?

The draw is hopeless

    Looking at the average number of goals kicked by our fwd line players this year and there is reason for concern.

    Not sure we have this one.

    Same old story in that we don't have enough talent fwd.

    Unless Petty comes good in this game, we will lose. 

    Presently sifting through a ratings comparison of how our boys are fairing in a form sense.

    Comparing their first six games, Rnds 0 - 5, with the next, Rnds 7 to 12.  I'm almost finished the entire set bar tomorrow's game.

    The stand out in terms of not looking good so far...   Chandler.

    He must be playing injured.

    Almost every single metric is a disaster post our bye round ie;  from round 7 onwards.

    The only area of improvement is tackles, which is most likely an indication he is second to the ball.... alot!

    I'm very surprised he's still playing to be honest and also that we haven't procured a replacement in the last few weeks.  The FD would be seeing this drop off also it's that alarming.

    We are effectively playing a man down here if he continues to be impeded by the ongoing leg / knee issue.

    Add to that Petty's form / no JVR and boy, we are way behind the eight ball up forward heading into tomorrow if they both fail again.

    We have also lost an average of 1.2 goals a game from ANB & Kozzy post the bye but gained most of that back through Petracca who has gone from 0.7 goals per game to 1.8 in the same period after being moved into a mostly forward role.

    dont give a [censored] how they do it, win big, smash em, win ugly, just get over Freo unscathed. Then throw the kitchen sink at the pies next week and beat them with our best footy. [censored] em.

    I hope their plane falls out of the sky when they land in Melbourne to play us. [censored] em

    Charming. I have no idea why someone would post that.

    I do.

    It’s called venting. Where’s the harm in it?

    Chin looked great in the Captain's Run today. No bandages, no restrictions, moved smoothly and efficiently. He's not injured now, that's for sure. Tipping a good game from him tomorrow.

    With our ever changing forward line, slightly changed backline, lack of real backup for Max and against the Dockers, I am worried about this game.

    Amazing win that - but seriously don't even think about stressing my heart like that again.

    An absolute genuine 50/50 game.

    They’re only a half game and 5% behind us and have beaten us 3 out of the last 5 games. Freo have definitely caused us problems under Longmuir.

    Will be a statement win IMO if we can get it done, with opportunities to come between rounds 13-17.

      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.
