I feel all warm & fuzzy after that. A really young team who physically dominated a soft, poor Bummers. Too many things that I liked to type them all out, so 5 game points:

The love between the players and coaches after the siren.

Our gameplan with Max out. All hail the Lord Goodwin!

All our young boys. Wow.

Our back 6. 

Langdon & Windsor. Elite wing positional play and they annihilated much bigger opponents.

    Yep.. horrible call. It’s decisions like that that really make me think the umpires have been given a direction to help the opposing team make a comeback. 

    It was unbelievably obvious tonight, just as it was against North a few weeks back.

    I don’t care what anyone says. The game is umpired completely different in the last 15 minutes of most games. It might not be intentional, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It’s glaringly obvious.

    My only negative is that they subbed the wrong player off. How Bowey kept playing when AMW was actually playing well is beyond. 

    Bowey is a huge worry for me moving forward alongside Petty and Sparrow.

    Judd McVee out marking Lance Whitnall was the highlight for me on too of many others of course.  Kid is a serious talent. 

    That decision puzzled me too DD.

    Was there to be lost tonight with no skipper and wet weather 

    Signs look ominous too in the beginning.

    But Mvee, Kozzie and Rivers kept us in it.

    Great second half from Anb, Fritta and Oliver.

    Jvr goalless but good effort at ruck.

    Turner and Milk strong fwds.

    Umps didn't help but it didn't fluster us.

    Ran out of puff again but we did well in the first five of the last so it didn't matter.

    Shame about the last 10 minutes, it ruined what was otherwise a really strong four quarter performance.

     

    Ruined? Those [censored] were already pumping themselves up for being second on the ladder and we rolled them without our 2 best players, just enjoy it!

    Sweet win.

    Lost the clearances.

    Lost the tackle count.

    Kick count

    Hit outs 

    Marks

    Handball count

    Free kicks

    Inside 50 s too

    But a sweet sweet sweet win.

    Oliver and Anb really stood tall in the second half.

    Shout out to Disco as well.

    Kozzie nice 100.

    Think you’ll find we smacked them in the clearances 😏

    Petty was a warrior tonight, absolute Herculean effort.

    DT and absolute dead eye dick.

    We look so much better with Salo in the back 6 along with Tmac, Rick, Maysie, Juddy and Bowser.

    OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

    How did we win this?

    How did we go in the ruck?

    Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

    Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

    For the last two games, the players - particularly the enthusiasm of the newbies  - find ways to look out for each other and make something resembling a machine to play decent footy as a team. Just like what happened after half-time in our grand final win, a few seasons ago.

    So proud of the group for tonight.

    Had to beat the umpires, the commentators on Essendon the whole night, the media writing us off the whole week, no max no tracc.

    (Aside from the last 7 minutes that definitely got the heart rate going) in tough conditions, the will to keep cracking in at the contest made me just so unbelievably proud.

    • 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.
