If we play like this for the rest of the season, even if we can make finals, I will have a very happy face.

    Very reminiscent of our second quarter against Brisbane two weeks ago. Let's just hope we maintain it this time.

    Rivers is literally the complete package as a midfielder. Tough, quick, dynamic and a powerful kick. Love him.

    Look we knew it would be an uphill battle in the ruck, but credit to Goodwin for cobbling something together with Petty, Turner and Roo. I feel Roo has kind of had to be called in because Petty's pretty hopeless unfortunately.

    Great work to break even and even win the contests in the 2nd quarter. Hoping the weather stays poor because Essendon's running handball game has cut us to pieces when they've been able to implement it.

    Anyone claiming that Max's ruck work isn't very good need look no further than how ineffective Petty is as a ruck.

    Getting a bath by Draper

    Might help him to have clean hands?

    yes, hearing it is the same finger... being strapped and boarded i think

    Whatever happens (and I know a loss is the end of the world for some), we have found a few players who can carry us forward. I.e. I would never have picked Trent to be so impactful in the middle. I'm sure some may have. I wasn't one.

    Looked like he had it kicked early in the 1st qtr.
    No free for In Danger of course.

    Much better quarter. Stopped Ess run on the outside, lots of pressure on the man causing the fumble.

    JVR much better in the ruck that quarter. Not getting pushed off the ruck contest

    JVR is jumping into Draper and being more physical than Petty

    Petty very lift up as a Full Forward, he could be the match winner.

    Essendon got a few run and carries through the middle, but our defensive stifled almost all of them. Great effort all over the park. Viney and Clarry working so so hard. Windsor and Langdon playing well, and have clamped down on Duursma. Rivers and McVee - brilliant. 

    And a BIG tick to JVR who negated the curtain maker.

    good first half, especially when the rain came (Nice to see).

    We seem to be playing to the conditions and getting it forward and apply pressure.

    The most important question is, can we now sustain this for the second half.

     

    lets go boys...

    They never call kick in danger anymore, stupid AFL like chaos football and let players kick anytime anywhere.

    My PCA won’t administer anymore painkillers for an hour. Hope it’s not a stressful second half. 

    Consult your local wacky tobacky dealer ET. Say it's urgent.

    We need to start turning the sprinklers on before the game and during quarter breaks at home games.

    McVee is absurd in the wet.

    Rivers... what an absolute gun.

    • 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

    • 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.
