16 goals 7 

that's how you win games of footy

Yep Hawthorn aim to score at the apex of the 50 metre arc. The most direct route to goal

I hope eternal that one day the MFC will do the same 

Richo is no Rhodes scholar.

He reckons every team should play in OR. 

What would the next round be called?

Absolutely, wasn't arguing otherwise.

You still have to get inside 50 but.

Which is basically what hoyne said in the segment being discussed

I reckon the percentage of games won in the 2-3 last seasons by teams having fewer inside 50s than their opponent would be vanishingly small (and yes I know the lions won the flag with 2 less inside 50s).

And I'd add that one thing that hasn't changed is pressure is critical and the team thay applies most pressure is more likely to win (though pies in 2023 were an outlier in this regard).

Horethorn have just beaten Essendrugs with fewer inside 50s. It would be interesting to get the trend over the last 2-3 season - agreed.

Uh what a shame. Essendon lose. 

My god McGrath had a mare tonight.  Sometimes it's hard to believe he went #1

watts and mcgrath are both super ordinary selections in hindsight

At first glance the only three words I read in that tweet were "Langford officially out" and I [censored] myself.

It’s funny how the censorship, while being very good and necessary, makes it impossible to tell whether you [censored] yourself, or you [censored] yourself.

Both of which have very different meanings both literally and figuratively. 
I’m guessing that you were worried about our team for Sunday?

Meanwhile - on the Essendrugs thread over at Big Footy . . .Well, at least we made Carlton supporters feel a bit better tonight.

Yep. Exception and rule and all that.

By the by the bombers defence is pathetic - both in terms of system and personelle.

Think I’ve seen better turf at Birdsville. Spent half the night wiping my screen, thinking it was bugs.🐜

Bombers had plenty taking short steps, Hawks also have many routes to goal. The other thing that was scary is Essendon tried hard early, and Hawks consistently trusted players to do the job without crowding the ball.
 

No offense to QD but Inside 50 is the most ridiculous stat btw, uncontested marks inside 50, that says something about offensive power or lack of defense.

Thought there was not much difference in effect of having already played, and a first up team.

Essendon, scramble and long down the line kicks, versus a precise disposal and swarming game, with the good use of space by Hawks.

Well we've had 7 teams play in these 4 H&A matches. Every team that won their pre-season game has lost and every one that lost theirs is atop the ladder unbeaten.

Don't know why but I adore this 'dumb' movie. 😂 And, yes, right now we have a chance at everything, except maybe the spoon.

If we go by the following new format, every team will have played each twice by Round 16, thus solving the fixture inequalities :laugh: 🤪

Sorry folks, but I do not think Hawthorn will make the eight.

The question is whether Essendon is that bad? Possibly yes and have not improved their team.

 Now I hate them almost as much as Collingwood.

100%
Both supporter bases are interchangeable nuffies.
Collingwood are special tho'.

Went to Victoria Park once.
Walking up to the gate I had a retarded bloke in a black'n white wheelchair tell us to "Fork off Melbourne." while flipping the weirdest bird I'd ever seen.
For a kid raised at the MCG I was flabbergasted.
Then had to watch 'em overrun a 27pt 3/4 time lead.
I thought the Zulus we're comin'.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
