Jefferson is so far behind AFL level. AJ had a monster game as a forward and could have easily kicked 6 or 7 goals. He's way ahead of Jefferdon that it's now starting to become a real worry on whethwr he'llmake it or not. He genuine just lacks intensity compared to AJ who really stamped his authority with his physical presence and marking.

Bonner is way too good for this level.

Loved Kynan Browns game. Would prefer him to bloody Harry Sharp who's an absolute crab.

Kentfield is worth keeping a close eye on this new position change down in defence. He certainly looks so much more comfortable down back then forward.

Adams is also close to a debut game as is Sestan.

Mentha certainly has talent but is raw still. Reminds me so much of Toby Brdford in his first year at AFL level where he showed so much glimpses but just needed that full year of professional development.

Mitch Hardie was also very solid.

    How did Culley go?

    Was ok but didn't stand out for mine. Worked hard defensively and marked well above his shoulders. Disposal not fantastic but conditions were tough. Didn't get a stack of it either despite us dominating the game and the disposal count. Unsure if he's time is still being managed.

    Thanks KC, Tarax Club and all posters what a great result for the boys with so many playing dominant games. How good was it watching the scoreboard tick over, particularly after the slow wind blown start.

    Agree with most of this. MJ is a long way off. if he had AJs intensity he'd be a star

    Bonner is the typical star at VFL but no good at AFL level type of player.

    Was beyond horrendous for St Kilda so his delisting came as no surprise.

    Would be wasting a list spot if we were to take him.

    He finds space. In the new gameplan he could be useful. You need quick connectors.

    I'd like to see some detailed analysis of kicks/handballs to advantage but there could be something there

    Phenomenal result considering the scores were level at quarter time.

    We only scored one goal in the first, so 20 in the ladt 3 quarters including 6 or 7 into the wind in the 3rd.

    Tom Campbell set the tone with a dominant ruck performance from the get go. Followed by the Casey on ballers.

    Riley Baldi returns as a much improved player. Mitch Hardie a worthy acquisition, Taj Woewodin not the most skilled or quickest but gets involved inside and out.

    Bailey Laurie aside from the silly late intervention, quite a solid contributor. Jai Culley can impose himself as an extractor but really needs to work on his kicking.

    Pup Brown some terrific moments but needs to add strength and polish.

    JVR and AJ as keys stood up and delivered. Jack Henderson not a lot of the ball but a very smart operator.

    Adams and Sestan are showing definite promise as defenders.

    Okay, is it time to start thinking of Jefferson as a Watts-type tall rather than as a key forward?

    Do we need to stop looking at what we hope he can be and start looking at what he can be?

    He's got some nice leading patterns which I never really saw from Jack Watts.

    Great to see JVR play well. He struggles to find the ball at full forward at AFL level but is a good finisher.

    I liked Woewodin's game also.

    The trouble is when you win like that, you have to take into the effort from the opposition, and by that score, there was not that much considering they only kicked 3.7 for the game.

    When he was recruited I thought that he had the most unlikely build of anyone trying to play AFL

    He’s improved a lot in that area but think Baldi has has more upside than him even tho he’s come from outside the system

    Yeah we did very well and looked the goods, but they looked pretty terrible , so not really much to take from that game until we repeat that performance against more teams who are doing better than the Tigers I guess. Still, great stuff watching our boys rip it up!

    It was a good win but don't get too carried away, Richmond were worse than terrible. A good game to get out of form players into some form. Difficult for Jeffo, he didn't do anything wrong but AJ and JvR just go everything.

    • 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

      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.
