Thoughts:

- Rivers everywhere

- Lindsay super slick

- Melbourne on top in cont and uncontested ball but either not putting it in the right place, not moving quickly and direct enough

No and he has so far stopped any Taylor influence on the game..

That and along with the slower ball movement is being done to limit their slingshot from interceptions

    Tbf we beat the Bombers in the wet last year with no ruck

    Geelong game we won last year was super slippery too.

    In that case, he has only played 135, not 150. 😃

    Sparrow is a seasoned player now but I don't think I'm fear in saying he really only seems to make up the numbers.

    He plays ok as a pinch hitting forward and makes his fair share of tackled. But for his position and size, he rarely impacts games.

    We are really going to miss Nibbler.

    And while Kozzie was somewhat unlucky that's what happens when you have form. I know his agro makes him who he is but it's starting to become a problem. This is not his first opening game he's been suspended from.

    I think we have been playing better than Gws . They seemed to have had their fair share of bounces and calls. 

    Oliver needs to use the ball smarter. And as mentioned Fritta and Jvr need to get more involved. Fritta seems so often to be on or off. I'd like to see some more consistent play.

    Petty has been great.  He's taken seven grabs and while getting the ball, Max needs to take some marks. Some positive signs from positive Langers.

    Maybe time to sub Howes off. And as usual I'd like more from Chandler.

    The big upside is all the goals from so many first timers.

    Will we run the game out. Like last time we met we looked like we were starting to wrap things up with four in a row but let them off the hook.

    Who will win this one for us.

    Id love to see Jeffo walk away with a bag of five.

    Surely Jvr and Fritta will open their accounts.


    Roo - is he ok? Watching on tv, he’s been unsighted. …

    Given the circumstances (Giants warmed up after a bolstering opening round and us with a lot of green players), I’ll take that first half. 

    Lot of improvement required, but some are pulling out the razor blades a bit early.

    Bah humbug, can't even watch the game on the telly, paid for a watchafl membership (plus a regular one) and the club didn't send me a valid activation code.  And I've only just found this out.  Someone in the membership dept is going to discover a very grumpy email from me on Monday.

    When you contact them, you're not the only one. I had that for 2 seasons in a row and stopped going through the club, signed directly with Fox/WatchAFL, which is instantaneous.

    This system with the code is costing them members.

    I think we’ll be ok but we need to be a little bit slicker with our skills, we should be ahead, or at the very least not behind right now. The giants are just efficient and make us pay for mistakes.

    How good is Lindsay?

    4 tackles and 14 from the first half. Playing wing and half back.

    Very clean in these conditions and when he burst off half back at one stage it was delicious. 

    Long way to go, but if Lindsay can have a first season like Windsor did, and we play them both between half back and the wing, our ball use, cleanness and speed will go through the roof.

    Really disappointing to give away two goals are dominating that Q. Dumb free kick by Petty and a turnover from Howes. We need to concentrate for longer

      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.
