Screw draft picks

Culture and a winning mentality far more important

Surely we have learnt this lesson the hard way by now

We won a flag on the back of high picks. You never tank but itโ€™s nice to have both. Sadly Gold Coast are just too ordinary to have beaten us.ย

Iโ€™m not sure about that comment from Viney

Yep, wasn't the most confident answer was it!

ย 

Huge, huge win on so many levels.ย  No telling the optimism it will feed to fans, sponsors, players for 2025

Bring that determination and fierceness next week and win, lose or draw, it will be an excellent end to a non-finals season

As a bonus how good if we can smash the pies next week!

ย 

Nothing against Oliver, but I feel that our midfield was much improved without him there. Viney was a bull all game. Rivers and ANB both worked into the game nicely after poor first half. Langdon was back to his hard running best.

McVee was quiet in his first real foray into the midfield but was generally clean with his ball use. Thrilled to see him sneak onto the scoreboard in the 4th quarter!

Jack Viney was asked about his future with the Demons when interviewed on ground after game and didnโ€™t deny about whether he was leaving or not, just said letโ€™s get through this and weโ€™ll sort that stuff out at and of year, honestly think heโ€™s thinking about going to North, theyโ€™re trying for Ollie Wines too. His old man is there and his childhood mate could be there too, donโ€™t be surprised if he leaves at end of year!!

I'm amazed that anyone could infer that from the question he was asked (Going?) and his immediate reply (Nah!) followed by the 'sort this out at end of year' type remark.ย  If that wasn't him realising that you have to keep balls in the air during contract talks I'm the proverbial monkey's uncle.ย  Of course, pessimists will say it's a double bluff to fool fan boys like me....


Gotta love Riversโ€™ confidenceย 

had a shocking start and worked through it and ended up with a solid performanceย

JNM, did you mean "well, we'll wait to the end of the season and sort that all out" when asked if he was going to North?

Amazing how winning the centre clearances makes a difference @Binmans PA.

Winning centre clearance out the front always makes a difference.

Winning clearances doesn't tell you anything innately about a game.

It's how you win them.

Which was my point earlier in the year.

Great arvo in the couch!

ย Very JD Vanceย  of you!

I hope Mr Reluctance reads his teammates statement closely.


Exceptional win under immense media pressure. So bloody proud.ย 
ย 

sign JV. Whatever it takes. Heart and soul players like that are hard to come by. I didnโ€™t like his post match interview. Less than convincing. Iโ€™d take the effort and attitude of Viney over the talent and attitude of Tracc. Just sayingย 

And how good was the goal from my boy Juddy!ย 

Bettered only by his celebration!!

Will need to find a pic of that celebration and make it my new avatar!

So you would have preferred a loss today?

the media would keep on us. No increase in confidence for Turner/Petty/Kolt etc heading next year.

Not to mention us fans who need a win and sponsors to see a quality product every now and again ย 

Your negativity is draining

I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

He spent 2 weeks at Noosa with his gf recently


No doubt in my mind Viney would be in talks about contract length being 30.ย 

Saying Nah iโ€™m not going anywhere and then whooops weโ€™ll see what happens was pretty funny imo

Wonโ€™t make a politician, our Jack

May is home too. I donโ€™t know that we need to read too much into it.ย 
But really good to see Clarry there!ย 

I think May's partner is due to give birth this month.ย  This might explain him staying in Melbourne.ย  Dees might have a future father son/daughter entering the world soon!

Indeed.

Scoring from centre clearances is the key stat, not how many centre clearances you win.ย 

They set up very aggressively today, and as dwayne noted Viney looked to get forward of the contest at every opportunity.

When that doesn't work it is called cheating, when it works its called confidence.ย 

First to put my hand up and say I spat the dummy early in a rare game day thread contribution from me.ย 
ย 

If we play like that with a good run of injuries next year then thereโ€™s no reason we wonโ€™t be right in the thick of it again.ย 
ย 

JVR showing we might not need to bring in a KPF in after all. Disco and Petty both excellent as well.ย 
ย 

Game of the year for Jack, could really sense he was out for blood today and ended up soundly beating Rowell.ย 
ย 

Langdon immense, Rivers ok but his disposal is very suss at the moment.ย 
ย 

Good win from the lads, really happy with the way we went about it today.ย

We can get our high picks for Tracc.ย 

That is how a real footy club responds - with actions rather than talk.ย

Narrow loss against a good side ala GWS and Port wouldโ€™ve been perfect.ย 
ย 

I donโ€™t care about the media.ย 

I donโ€™t care about weak fans and people at the club with no fortitude.

Itโ€™s nice for the players to get a win. But we had 10 of them for the year already. We donโ€™t need to buy in to this nonsense about a crisis.

Winning today was the perfect antidote for the tumultuous week that was.

You're running a ridiculous argument here.

Stolen from a post on Twitter, but this a great pick up.

โ€œTrac spent months in Queensland then conveniently avoided this away trip when so many of the injured players travelled, and our twos were up here too. Today was a very โ€˜whole clubโ€™ vibe. None of this is reflecting very well on him. This is a direction, and heโ€™s not in on it.โ€

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
