Rainy Sunday night in Stoke as I get on the tram for the first time this season. See you there

March 16Mar 16

I really hope people are coming in or they're at the bars because this is a dull crowd

March 16Mar 16

May was last seen at Entrecôte with Milkshake.

Seemed fine when he went in…

Unconfirmed rumour from a mate that Steven May is out. No other info. Take with a grain of salt at the moment.

Well done

The crowd will be tiny. ~15K

Imagine if we don’t clear 16K which is the number we got massively criticised for in last year’s game V GWS.

May is a big loss

“May sustained a knock to the throat during training at Casey Fields on Friday, and scans have since confirmed a fractured larynx.

General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson said the club would take a cautious approach with May’s recovery.

“At this stage, our medical team does not believe the injury is as significant as what Max Gawn sustained earlier in the year,” Richardson said.

“We will assess Steven further next week, which will give us a clearer picture of the recovery timeline.”

Really?

I reckon my 12k estimate might be overs; empty on the way in from Malvern

We all know how hard it is to win a game at the Cats' home ground, GMHBA Stadium. Before yesterday, Freo had beaten the Cats there twice—by3 points in 2022 and by7 in 2023. Clearly, the Cats didn’t want to lose to Freo at home again. I believe they made special preparations for the game, aiming to put much more pressure on Freo. And it worked.

One key indicator was the number of tackles they made—58 by halftime and 89 by the end. Freo wasn’t ready for that level of pressure.

Unfortunately, we lost Gus and Nibbla, and I really missed them. Gus was one of our major tacklers (along with Viney), and Nibbla was strong in that area too. A good tackle can directly or indirectly cause a turnover; some players excel at it, while others don’t. I hope we can develop a couple of new players into top tacklers in the near future.

Go Dees, Go newbies!

When I saw the AFL headline - “star out for Demons” or words to that effect, I panicked. I was oddly relieved it was May - while it’s obviously not great, the difference between him and the next best available (TMac) is much narrower than the gap between next best if it had been Trac/Clarry/Max.

I’m going in to the match with an open mind and no expectations. Over a quarter of the team playing together for the first time is unprecedented I reckon. A complete annihilation is a possibility, but we have a strong enough nucleus, and the imports have enough maturity, that a strong performance is also possible. Looking forward to it!

Just hitting 28 degrees at 9am up in Sydney, and it is another of those days where the sun pierces your bones.

The in-laws arrive in about 30 minutes.

Oh, please, holy Demon powers, transport me to a chilly, sodden and windy MCG for an afternoon.

It's the humidity here in Wollongong that makes things tough.

Spent a few days in Brisbane once in the middle of January and experienced real humidity.

But Nsw seems to be emulating Brisbane lately.

Not to worry. It will be winter and grey in Melbourne soon so there's that 😀.

But I will say that nothing beats a Melbourne Autumn.

Especially one sitting on the member's wing in the sunshine watching a Dees player go streaming past on his way to score another major.

Who doesn't love footy. It's a game beyond compare.

Also slightly less impactful given that Jessie isn't playing as well.

Yea thanks Top cat.

I spent seven months in Arnem land on the edge of monsoons.

But at only 10 one doesn't notice the weather. Too busy collecting wildlife and flushing the frogs back down the toilet where they came from

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.

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.

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.
