Eagles will fancy themselves. Reid will fancy again being a 19 year old bullying players nearly 10 years more mature.  Dees have to be ruthless. Hard to imagine.  This has to be a 8+ goal win. Otherwise it’s poor.  We have to hammer them.

Thought Langdon could've won it for us, but again he is a terrible shot for goal when he is on the run. He has no composure. Petty kept veering left with his shots on goal. Please get KPF like Roo who take their time to line up and don't toss the ball up as the walk in for a set shot.

Petty also goes for height in the kicking action, where verticality is critical to getting the ball past the man on the mark without 'touching'. There is a subsequent lack of direction in the resulting kick, peeling off to one side of the intended direction - (result = missed goal). Whilst often regarded as 'excessive', the run-up of Brown counters this problem of 'too short a run-up, too close to the man on the mark at the delivery point off the foot'. In other words, Petty (and several other forwards) need to immediately extend their run-ups on set shots (from marks and frees) so that their contacts of the ball with the foot is well before the man on the mark, so that less emphasis is on the 'immediate vertical'  and more on the 40 -50 degree line of flight so that the rising ball is markedly clear of the man-on-the-mark but not too 'suddenly vertical' because it was necessary to 'clear' such an opponent with such a critical proximity. With the subtle application of reasonable force in the kicking action, combined with an improved distance of a longer run-up for a 'clear' kicking point well-short of the opponent, so that the flight of the ball (for direction) is controlled, less likely  to sway in the breezes or lose momentum, left or right, missing the the big sticks zone at the goal line. Summation: take a walk to a point where you can select a kicking spot well-short of the man on the mark, and kick firmly through the ball (follow-through) to control improve direction.

 

 

Can someone explain something to me.

I am trying to get a ticket for my daughter to attend her first game. It's supposed to be free for kids.. but I am still being charged a processing fee.

Is this right? Is there another way to get a ticket and avoid the fee? I know it's only $3 but seems so pointless.

 

I'll take a 1 point win (butt clenching as that would be) at this point....I just cant see us dominating anyone the way we are travelling at the moment

Against Bris we won tackle count by 18 with 7 more tackles inside 50, we had 12 more 1%ers, +14 contested possession. On our home turf we take this.

We need to play like we did against Brisbane and then some, don't run out of puff in last quarter.

Oh, and kick straight from easy set shots people who are meant to be playing as forwards, that will help.

I watched a bit of Eagles vs Hawks.

The Eagles pretty much packed their bags at half time and went home. They were pathetic.

If we can’t run with those guys we should sack every HP coach we have.

maybe just turn up and get a ticket at the ground?  if they are free, why do they even need a ticket?

Hope we get a win

When does Fullerton get his chance?

Jefferson is nearly ready

It surely will not be a sold out event,  I get to the Essendon game and that likewise will be a walk up

Go Dees two wins in a row please

It’s utterly bizarre we play them again after a mere 4 weeks but have yet to play some teams.

The Eagles kindly played their GF against us (we don't help by being soft as butter the whole day), and have been smashed by everyone since.

Well I am certainly looking forward to reaping the benefits of that this week so we can roll forward some momentum into the game against the Bombers so we can take down a current top 4 side (and beating those mugs is one of my favourite pastimes) 🤣

They won’t. But I really wish they’d make Bowey come back via Casey. I feel we have stalled his development by rushing him back to the big league at all costs. 

Eagles will come out breathing fire. That was the most insipid of performances yesterday with a decent team. Reid & Kelly will be better for the run. Understandably it was a difficult day for Yeo. No doubt they will come at us. No big win here . Just over a month ago they touched us up. Our team is young so form will fluctuate.  Need to be at our best.

When he shows consistent strong form at Casey, something he hasn’t come even close to doing.

apparently he is but I can’t see them rushing him in.

 

 

This will be Jayden’s 150th game and of course it has to be against us 😢

Kinda nice that it’s against his old side. We can cheer for him as he runs out.

Glad it is. Means I get to see it.

Well done Jayden. Always one of us!

Whilst the ladder says we're in the hunt for finals right now,  If we drop this game, it will be absolutely season over and players that need any surgeries should be operated on now in order to for this club to have its best pre season in its history, to make up for one of its worst just gone.

And West Coast will unfortunately come in with natural response after one of its regulation stinkers that they so often dish up.

However, if we bring in Goody's favourite two words - contest and defence, have a healthy quarter time lead and go at least 50% accuracy then we should win this game with no issues.

  • 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.

    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.
