That’s if I get there! But I’m sure this worldwide catastrophe outage will be sorted by Sunday morning. We’ve got members flying out tonight who are at the airport amongst the bedlam. And many more due to fly out early tomorrow morning. 😑

Sure was unfortunately. The buzz in the Melbourne section pre game was something that I have rarely witnessed. Bloody devastating we were just totally gassed and had nothing left to give.

Enjoy, hope your winning streak continues.

Laurie stiff as.

But Billings could still provide something for us. It may have come down to a senior body over a young fella

Billings running out of chances though

I am registered as an in-flight emotional support camel for tax purposes, so there is some pressure on to keep up appearances.

To be fair, I've never done a pacific crossing and I'm also putting off a Europe trip until there's an available stopover location which isn't a major slave market or Perth.

This reminds me about ships not taking in ballast water in Adelaide? (I think they have since lowered their standards)

I was looking into going to Europe by boat - of course that was pre-Covid - so that’s another option.
Probably get to meet real pirates as well!

Good luck to Billings but has been absolute crud at senior level for the most part so far.

Surely last chance at senior level with any AFL club this week? Does he even care? Doesn't play like it.

Billing’s, Bowey or Sparrow as sub

Goody proved the afl world wrong with not playing a genuine ruck last week but Jackson & Darcy will have a field day, It’s obvious Fullerton can’t ruck in Goodwin eyes, very weird

He can’t ruck and that’s not just in Goodwin’s eyes.

July 19, 20241 yr

Roo will go with Darcy, the two big bodies , and Petty should be able to body Jackson and defend him when he goes forward or drop off him and leave TMac to him.

Have you seen the weather forecast? It’s going to be wet. Darcy will be a liability out there.

Billings back in. Hmmmm Hasn’t shown really anything when he has played. Lucky to be back in. Skills poor. Goalkicking poor. Tackling non existent.

Laurie contracted though to end 2026 for some reason. Looks to slow and uncontested for AFL midfield role and we have plenty of small forwards already. He’s a VFL standard player.

Tholstrup is the future. He’s going to be very very good.

“Billings - Skills poor. Goalkicking poor. Tackling non existent.”

Sure, but apart from those limitations, …. ????

It’s all about the energy we bring and I reckon the kids have got a taste for it.

We have plenty of run now with AMW, Mc Vee, Windsor, The Kolt, Langdon back to his best, Kozzie Nibbler and the brilliance of Melksham not to mention the coming of age of Roo , what a month he has had!

After all the talk of a wet weather game, the forecast is 0-3mm. Doesn’t exactly scream a wet weather slog of a game.

And I’m not sure we’d benefit from back to back wet games heading into GWS off the back of a 6 day break from Perth.

Is Fullarton become a permanent emergency especially for interstate matches ? He and the Dees can look on the bright side of life, we will have a fresh player at our disposal. Perhaps the word disposal will have a stronger meaning for Tom year's end . i.e delisted.

He has another year on his contract.

Surprised with Billings, from VFL form thought Laurie was more deserving

Bowey must be on extremely thin ice

Would've preferred Laurie to be the in.

He's young, we've given him a contract extension, there must be something there Goodwin believes in.

Let's see it

AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond
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.

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.
