Hey Layz. I was walking through our local shopping centre today when a guy in an Oxfam bib walked up to me. Not to ask for money but to ask if I was from Glasgow as he saw the Rangers jacket I was wearing. He was from Belfast. We spoke about the usual stuff. Where back home we were from, how we ended up here, where can you get a decent pint of the black stuff etc. Another guy must have overheard us and came over to join the craic. He is from Longford on the other side of the border. It was all going well until one of them asked, "have you been watching the euros?". Almost simultaneously we all groaned and said how unbearable back home it would be for everyone if England actually won the thing. They will always think they are the centre of the universe.

McVees footy iq is through the roof and that’s on top of his cat like reflexes

A fantastic game by a fantastic kid.   Grandpa from Geraldton running training must be given much credit too.  Looked like a delist two seasons back, now totally entrenched as a tough smart defender who plays taller than he is.  Should be considered for AA.

I’m not worried about JVR , he is a big lump of a lad that loves crashing in.

I don’t think we will burn him out he loves it.

Mark my words, he will be the Key superstar forward we are looking for.

He might become who we thought Jackson was destined to be, a Ruck - Forward star.

So far Jackson hasn't delivered the Forward craft at Freo.

He’s an injured mid 20s premiership key defender playing ruck and full forward. It’s f ing madness. He just has to go back

No he doesn't.  Who does he replace?

An on fire T-Mac having one of his best years?

Lever, our best intercept KD also having one of his best seaaons in the red & blue?

No thanks.

Apart from our near-capitulation near the end. I really enjoyed this game. It was one I went to, fully expecting to lose. I thought it was just one of those “sometimes you just turn up in the rain to support your team” things. I thought we tried so hard and really had the will to win. Probably got a bit too complacent in the last quarter, but at the end of the day, we won and essendon lost.

I felt the wet weather really suited us. It helped that we were in front when the rain really came down. Kozzie and melksham were pretty good (apart from that awful miss right in front.) Clarry played well after a slow start. 

Only sour thing I felt was we got done for throwing the ball when BOTH teams were guilty of it all night. Funny they only decided to call it when essendon were coming back.

Best thing though is not only are we ahead of collingwood, we’re in the 8 and they aren’t. I got home a very happy chappy last night.

If GWS port and Brisbane win today we slip bwck down to 9th yet we’ve won 3-4 last games. Its a very tight comp

 

We lost 9 games last year in the rain. This year the first time we played in wet weather was round 18. The odds of avoiding rain all year would have been 500-1. 
it would be funny if the coaching staff spent all of the offseason fixing up our wet weather game only not to have used it until now

Only just got home. Just wow. It was a pleasure to be at the ground to watch us tonight. Even giving up a few goals towards the end when I think Rick was off the ground doesn't take the shine off how well we played as a collective unit. 

Correct.

Great win, really pleased with Clarry's game, recent form considered. He showed some flashes of his old self so I'm hoping he's on the way back up.

How good are the kids! Rivers has the makings of a true midfield star, JVR played a great, selfless game, McVee is a jet and Windsor has a very bright future. Also absolutely love Disco's work, he's got a fair leg on him too!

Judd McVee could possibly be the most underrated player in the comp.

Composure of the kid is unbelievable.

This.  Amazing job on The String. 

Loved Juddys interview on 7 too.  Humble, grateful and clearly loves the club and his team mates

Imagine the Kolt in 2 or 3 years time after he bulks up a bit in the gym.

He would be a real unit I reckon.

He has real mongrel in him and doesn’t shy away from the contest 

I called it pre game that for once I was hoping it was pouring with rain.

I knew straight away this would stifle their ball movement and ability to chip the footy around. 

It was very evident that when it rained it actually suited us, when it stopped, it suited essendons quick ball movement.

They're also not a big contested team. So for us to be able to beat them around the ball was also very evident. Oliver, Viney and Rivers were our primes movers in this area of our game.

We came into the game with a huge emphasis on defence and contest and boy did we nail that. Kudos to Simon.

Thoughts on the non selection of a ruck?

With the forecast weather., the decision was spot on IMV

Really good effort with our back against the wall missing our 2 best players against nominally a top 4 side. That’s the kind of win that builds culture and one lead by the kids. If the goal is the be a contender for years to come this will be a game that we will be able to look back on. Hopefully we can build on this and make something of it this year to.

We should all listen to Chad’s brother, he predicted a three goal victory for us.

The win is great, especially over them.

Certainly not the only one here calling out HP's game...

If you want to enjoy it without critiquing things, that's fine. But I'm not going to say that everything is all dandy when it isn't

 

Unfortunately I haven’t had the pleasure of watching the game yet due to a family commitment last night but I came here to enjoy reading what other supporters took from this game 

Your constant bleating and repetition bashing one of our own players is both tedious and annoying 

You made your point known 50 posts ago - how about focusing more on the positives and understanding that the coach and FD will determine selection and team composition which in their far more more insightful view optimises our chances of winning every game 

May a politely suggest you become a tad more glass half full

Srsly though, McVee, Turner, JvR, Windsor, Moniz-Wakefield and Kolt….

The future is bright. 

And all have that mongrel in them love it  , really showed up the nice , neat Essendon players that just didn't have the same in them

  • 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.
