Gee the dogs were lucky to land Darcy under father son. He's going to be great for them.

I'm more peeved they got Jamara and we missed out on Mac Andrew.

I reckon if the state government built us our own Stadium at Casey, and then we only allowed 300 opposition supporters in we’d give that record a fair shake.

Maybe if you moved Casey to Red Hill

Agreed!

blatant free. Meek blocking English from contesting the ball. You can’t just clear the space around the ball drop and not even contest it yourself

how do they not know the basic rules?

100% plus the main reason it was paid was cause he turned his head looking for English. Block and take eyes off ball = free kic

Yeah basically we are the only ones who got stuffed with that rule change and change back.

[censored] if I know.

 

"Sweepers" was never traditionally a position in cricket.  It came in with 50 over games but moreso in 20/20 to describe deep fielders who swept the leg of off side boundary.

They now run more ( and faster) than deep mid wicket or deep cover in the traditional form!

Outstanding football

I hope it stays this close. 

The great German footballer Franz Beckenbauer, nickname ‘Der Kaiser’ (translated as the emperor) is recognised as the creator of the sweeper role (also known as the 'libero').

The sweeper is a defensive player who sits behind the defensive line, sweeping up and dealing with any balls played through the defensive line. Beckenbauer was a great distributor and was also very adept at setting attacks in motion.

i don't like the look of the Hawks here. 

I'm feeling dogs are going to pull away.

(Also, calling @binman, I am not convinced the Hawk's #loading took finals into contention.)

All the Hawks fans are up and about again after a long interval.

It's sickening to see.

I'm with you, hate the Hawks. Arrogant supporters.

So a half - back flanker? Use that instead!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
