My Irish Collingwood supporting mate just sent me this.

“Nothing wrong with accuracy today mate. Getting plenty of umpires calls today”.

who cares about your Irish Collingwood supporting mate. Waste of keyboard.

It makes such a difference when the play on the field gives the crowd something to cheer about.

We generated plenty of chances. Max could have just about iced the game from 15 metres out and missed and then missed again from 40. Sparrow missed a sitter and Viney just missed. We were a 4 goal better side today and I loved every minute of it. Let's

I was honestly anticipating a 100 point loss today, I was prepared for a very ugly game. So happy with the effort and style of game the team showed, hopefully this will convince some more to turn up on Thursday too.

Expected the same !!

Would never miss Anzac Eve.

Best Melbourne pre game.

Hopefully anotherwin 👍👍

No player is closer to Goodwin than Koz. He played for his coach today.

Tmac is a modern great of the MFC. Nobody talks about it, but he gives 100% at every contest, he has been loyal, and I hope he gets to 250 games.

I've never been TMac's biggest fan, particularly as a defender, but he has been bloody brilliant this year, and proved me wrong.

As dazzle said, give him another contract. Is showing tremendous leadership.

Play like that and 2018 again more often and we'll be getting 30k+ to that game. Which given the number of supporters we actually have, would be a bloody brilliant effort.

Tmac was always an elite defender before he went to play as a forward. Issue was we were a terrible side then and his efforts were never properly recognised.

We can now move on from the whole team needs to be an elite kick in order to play an attacking brand of footy.

We didn’t come out mentally beaten before the game started because of injuries or because we’ve been owned by Freo in recent years.

Loved Kolts game too although he was quieter after leaving the field before half time (HIA?)

Also how good was Rivs run down pantsing in the last quarter, saved a certain goal and possibly the game.

 

I’m sure it’s been said throughout the thread but Bowser was unbelievable today, what a game form the little fella.

Also, we looked like a team for the first time in a bloody long time. Sharing the ball, getting others involved. I could happily watch this all year.

Edited by BW511

What the hell did I just watch? The pressure, the play on from defence, the run and handball…..so different from the last few weeks. Bowey and Kozzy, just brilliant.


Even though it feels like he’s been around forever TMac is still only 32. Doesn’t turn 33 until end of the year. He’d be entering his prime years if he was at Geelong. 100% he gets another year if he wants it.

It was nice to see our forwards not get in each other's way today.

Our tackling and pressure in our 50 was great. Something fritsch has to learn to do

A statement win. Amazing what you can achieve when you play with intensity. A beautiful day to be at the G and see our boys get the W. Maxy's handball to HL and his turn and snap the highlight for me. T-Mac's indian summer continues.

Don't know if it was mentioned anywhere else but Jimmy Bartel was in the bar on level 2 of the Olympic Stand pre-game with his partner. Make of that what you will. Bowsa's family were at the next table and his dad went over for a brief catch up.

Wonderful Arvo at the footy I am pretty hoarse from screaming, great to see the style of play we saw glimpses of in preseason come together in a real contest. Also glad to finally get one back on Freo they have bullied us in recent matches.


Goodwin made a good point in his presser about kozzie.

It showed what we missed in the first 3 weeks with him missing.

For the rest of the year he cannot get suspended

Hardly recall a time where we bombed the ball to an outnumber in the fwd line

Much smarter football and what a difference when we have fwds at home

This is exactly what I noticed, and has been sorely lacking for 2 years

Fullerton gives us a bit of what BBB gave us, a target that needs to be honoured by the defense. And this helps create separation, if the other KPF starts 25m away with a bit of angle. A good start to some structure.

Shout out to my mum who passed away last month and loved the Demons so much.

Always the first text I got after a win. She always got so nervous she could barely watch the game out!

To everyone still critical of our last quarter.

Some perspective please. Not only did we not have Lever and May but we then lost Turner for the 2nd half who was on par with McDonald as our best defender for the day.

We then had to move Howes off Bolton onto a bigger opponent in Amiss.

So we literally came into the 2nd half with 3 strong tall defenders already lost to injuries and were completely under siege due to lack of talls. Thank [censored] for McDonald but who's rated as our best tally defender this year.

Howes also held up his end of the bargain i thought.

Mentally reassuring and steeling stuff I hope. Really good perspective that I hope is shared by Howes and the rest of the backs.

You look at the great state that tex Walker came back in this year after his off season getting extra conditioning. If he looks after his body like the other elite older players, he'll have a few more great years. Hopefully.

Yup. Less dump kicking in general which just murders us. Lower inside 50 kicks too. Team rule: Clarry don’t kick it. Viney and Tracc, don’t kick it inside 50.

I think it was obvious that JVR and Fritsch were also getting in the way at ground level too. Just way more dangerous.

Sorry for your loss Dub

The two biggest changes I noticed was the concerted effort to avoid hack kicks from stoppage, using forward handball to run into/toward forward 50 and secondly, the movement inside forward 50 was starkly different to the first 5 rounds. Was fantastic to see and made is so much more dangerous and less predictable.

  • 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.

    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.
