Really? Wow! Where did you hear that?

PS guesse what - we won that game. We beat Adelaide who were 6-1 (and went on to finish top and be favourites in the GF), whilst we were 3-4.

Nathan Brown stated this when he was doing his Sportsbet ad. during tonightโ€™s 360.

Sorry LFS, I donโ€™t know which gate you enter for the captainโ€™s run. I can find out tomorrow morning though, then Iโ€™ll post on here

Enjoy drinks at the German Club! There are some DA members whoโ€™ll be there but the majority will be at the Pineapple Hotel.ย

No need to circumnavigate the โ€˜Gabba, Leftie.

Entry is through Gate 2.

Gate 2 opens at 3pm

Short session 3:30 - 4:15pm

Iโ€™ll see you at the Pineapple! Iโ€™ll be the one in red and blue (cheer squad joke, we find it funny even if no one else does). ๐Ÿ˜œ

He trains fully. Has been for a while now. Iโ€™ll be shocked and disappointed if they make him come back through Casey.ย

Sparrow to Neale. Neale earns his possessions at stoppages and in and under.ย  Need a bigger body.ย 

ANB to the Luggage. We need a runner who can keep up and close down his easy kicks.ย 

Can't let these guys get 30 each.ย  They generate too much momentumย 

ย 

AnB has to go to Zorko. Brisbane were struggling badly when Coleman went down and it was only when Zorko went to half back that theyโ€™ve got their game back. If we can shut him down, then that will go a long way to winning the game.


Dees the line at 30.5 is very good value.

With Lever back and our game plan having a significant shift back to our old style it wonโ€™t be a blowout. 50% of the possessions on Saturday night were contested compared to a 37% season average. We only took 72 marks (well below our average) and we kicked long out of defence instead of trying to switch with short kicks. I canโ€™t see Brisbane putting on a massive score. Weโ€™ll squeeze them wide and I expect Lever and May to have a lot of intercept marks.

Melksham isn't part of the future. If we're not playing finals, he shouldn't be playing at AFL level again (other than a farewell game if he wants one).ย 

Brisbane's last three scores for.ย 

152 points against Port.ย 126 points against St Kilda.ย 114 against the Dogs

We managed 70 against North Melbourne. I'll repeat. 70. With no goals in the last quarter. The team in the bottom of the ladder.ย 

Offensively, we are no match and the Midfield comparison is terrifying.ย 

Brisbane put on 55 points from scores from stoppage for the first three quarters against Port. They won clearance by 15 and won the inside 50's 71-46. All of this at Port Adelaide.ย 

Brisbane's DNA hasn't changed, they're a stoppage, clearance and contested machine of a midfield with one of the most potent, dangerous and dynamic forward-lines in the AFL which is humming atm.

Our numbers?ย 

We are -4 in contested ball against sides this year.ย 

We are the 4th worst clearance side in the comp.ย 

We're the 3rd worst team in the comp in scoring on turnover.ย 

It's mind-boggling that some think we're in with a chance against this side on current form. If we get within 35 points, I'll be astonished.ย 

But this could be an easy 50+ loss and that is the more likely scenario.ย

He told you this? Coz if he did, he lied to one of us, and Iโ€™m quite sure it wasnโ€™t me.

Wouldn't bother responding to him/her.... probably the most negative poster on here, which is saying something given the stuff you see!

Thanks and youโ€™re right. Iโ€™m trying hard but still havenโ€™t learned to not bite. Dude played the bag Melks card and I took the bait. My bad ๐Ÿ˜ญ

So you are 100% sure he will not be on our list next year. ย 
I just think he might be. ย Had a year of complete non contact, ย his body will go at least one more full year.

and our Forward line is much better with him there, playing well of course,ย 

hard game against Brisbane !

FWIW Melskham should be a lock in the side after 1-2 games in the VFL provided he has adequate AFL standard fitness. I don't care if he's 35 or whatever, the club still needs to put out a competitive product week to week, and Melk will surely assist here.

Our forward line is crying out for natural forwards. With all due respect to Petty and Turner, they are not natural forwards while our most natural forward is way off the boil atm. Hence we're battling to kick 70 points against the Norths and West Coasts of the league.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

  • 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
