With Giants and Essendon losing tonight, I can safely say that if we win the next two we’ll be firmly in the 8. Our destiny is in our own hands.

The 3rd quarter umpiring killed essendon off . 

Struggle to remember what I had for brekky. Will always remember Michael Long's GF coward act on Troy Simmonds. Carry nothing other than ill will towards this club. Like the Scottish play, I choose not to say its name.

Managed to get next to the sound desk so I can see the set list. No cigar ☹️

True but were still only out of the 8 on %. If we play like we did last night we'll be in every game that we have left. If we're good enough we'll play finals 

I'm on the bandwagon, don't worry. Just posted about it in another thread. Being 12th and sub-100% right now feels bad, but most of the sides between us and Fremantle are within one win and 10% of us.

The thing about our fixture is that it's full of the classic "8-point game". We play most of the contenders for spots 3-8 on the ladder (Fremantle, Essendon, Dogs, GWS, Port, GC, Collingwood). Almost any win from here on out does double damage in our attempt to make finals (the converse of course is also true, last night being the first example of it).

Must admit don't watch much of the Bombers but is Harrison Jones worth a thought as a tall forward? Pretty sure he's out of contract. Injury prone it seems but the right age demographic. 

Yeah and I don't think he's been offered a contract yet either.

Dropping last night's game hurts even more now.

Had we won we'd be 6th and sitting just a draw behind Essendon, who are proving themselves to be fraudulent. 7 of their 9 wins are against the bottom 6, and they're being flogged by a side on a 1-6 form run who haven't done almost anything right for two months.

The top 4 itself feels fraudulent with Essendon in it

Essendon are 13th on the percentage ladder, just behind us.

Just watching the last quarter of cats and pretenders. 
Luke Darcy coming up with some golden special comments. Or should that be, Goldfish comments?

Q4 12:43

“Cats trailed by five points at half time. They now have a 53 point lead.”
Score is 90-57

 


Two games separate 3rd and 12th on the ladder. 
 

What a time to be alive.

I think it will become less fraudulent in the coming two weeks.

I hope U2 are not thinking of a come back! Great band but their day is well and truly over. Not sure he ever visited the Bummers. Surely the Bummers still haven't found what they're looking for.

I heard the streets have no name out near the hangar..

So I must confess, I’m watching the Pies/Suns replay now, chiefly, because I want to watch the Pies get done. Possibly a new low. 

That Maynard stage was pathetic. But not as pathetic as the commentary that went with it. Jonathon Brown in his full-grown-toddler way heaping praise on him for “earning a free kick”. [censored] off, bozo. 

Yesterday we went 1/5 in terms of results going our way. Fremantle’s shock win over Sydney was absolutely pointless for us.

Although we could possibly overtake Essendon or Collingwood after round 18 if we win the next two, which was the benefit of those 2 clubs losing yesterday.

Hopefully St Kilda do us a favour today.


Don't blame pies fans for going up to the Gold Coast. 27 degrees there today, compared to 12 & miserable in Melbourne. 

It's going to be a wet game at the G today

Maynard won’t get fined as it’s exaggerated contact. The AFL hasn’t admitted to itself that this exists in the game. Zero chance Maynard even gets looked at

May got fined as he pretended he hit his head on the ground. He didn’t exaggerate contact that was made

Excuse me, but I think that is a ridiculous distinction.  Surely faking your head was affected is exaggerating the contact.  In any case, Maynard was holding his head when bent over on the ground - wasn't that pretending his head was affected?  Or is there something special about being contacted by the ground rather than someone fist?

Do you have a job with the AFL propaganda department or just hoping for one?

surely will depend on if the AFL and umpires want nus in . We are still entertaining, close games are more exciting to non invested fans, so might get the gig. I doubt we would get the commentators loving us if we got last minute wins like the pies last year but......

I don’t believe he’s justifying it but that is absolutely how it gets applied. Cody Wightman and Ginnvan would’ve earnt negative money over the past 3 years if exaggerating contact copped a fine. 


Anyone else notice the massive hit side bottom put on rowell in the last.  

Straight after a centre bounce, levelled him with an elbow/shoulder to the chin head on.  No free kick.  Watched it back again this morning, looks like weeks to me?

About 11mins to go in the last.

Saw that, and yep, if it were a middling/little-known player they would most certainly have been made an example of. 

 

Caught the Kayo highlights of GC Suns v Pies this morning. Maynard, how embarassing and no commentary other that 'he earned a free kick' 🙃

As for Gold Coast versus the MCG, taking the family (wife and daughter, first live game, son comes with me often though) to the 'G on this lovely day, would never trade balmy Gold Coast for a rainy 12° Melbourne day when it is highly probable the Blues will slap the Tigers about today ... I hear microwaving memberships can provide heat on a chilly day 😁

I think he was justifying it - can't see any other reading of the words, but will take his word if he says he was not doing so. But you are right, that is how it gets applied.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 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

    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.
