Good to see Harmes playing well and enjoying footy. It was the right thing to let him look elsewhere but I still miss his energy. Also good to see Maynard copping it.

I reckon when we were at our peak he was a key part of our handball chains through the midfield and wings that ripped the game open offensively. But he dropped off and had to go unfortunately.

    James Brayshaw blames the kicker for poor delivery when the target lost front position and played from behind!!

    Brayshaw has no idea.  Did he ever play footy?

    Just heard Bailey Smith late out for the cats tomorrow - calf injury for all you supercoach peeps (can't see a reason to change a tip against the Aints though)

    How is he going after Sam Darcy when he can. 

    How about he focuses on driving a car properly

    I think it's probably a good thing for the Doggies to play a few games without having to rely on Bontempelli to carry them on his back.

    I'd only pay blatant high contact ... otherwise play on for incidental contact

    But I'd retrospectivilly rub players out for flopping

    Which means that Joel Selwood would have barely played a game (haha)

    Selwood received about 500 soft, high contact free kicks.  Flopped for his whole career and cheated the game

    Mate I’ve always said that if pushing in the back had been applied properly, Hawkins would have 100-200 goals less. Defenders don’t lurch forwards at the last second if you’re just holding their body weight and not pushing. Drove me nuts.

    Horrible kicking for goal by the Pies again 

    You can’t play Port every week

    Yep, that's a good point too, BoBo

    I loved the hands in the back rule and it should still be in operation.  I like it mostly because it's a cut and dried rule. 

    Use your hands and you get pinged

    Use of the body or the forearm to hold your ground was how it used to be (back in my day)

    But you are right, Hawkins just pushed his opponents in the back and because of the shoddy rules, got away with it

    The AFL are great at making money and marketing the sport but as custodians, they often fail

    Add a couple more preseasons, strength training and experience to Darcy’s game and he’s gonna be nuts. Natural footy instincts on top of athleticism on top of 206cmish frame on top of being very skilled for his size.

    My weekly pet peev, the lack of advantage rule

    Free kick to Daicos so the bloke lets him go out of the tackle. Daicos then takes off and takes the advantage

    That is not how an advantage rule works!!! Dogs played the whistle and let him go

    So many packs.

    No free flow footy.

    Thoughts?

    I think it’s a fantastic game… possibly the best that I’ve watched so far this year. Some great handling skills on display and great pressure acts.

    Agreed, not the greatest in terms of transition, free flowing footy or great goals but very even, competitive and close on the score board. Like you, so tired of the constant packs around the play but that is modern footy.

    • 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.
