All started by Sam McClure saying on radio heโ€™d heard Clarry was still upset about not getting to Geelong, so you can take it as absolute [censored] as I wouldnโ€™t believe McClure if he told me the sun rises in the east.

He is such a skunk

    This is a little side note to this thread but the clubs really need to come together to create a proper second tier competition where they match each week to the calendar. These weeks where Casey has a bye while we play is awful for player development and management. The league has enough money in the coffers, they should be making it a high priority.

    It's a complete disaster. They've pillaged and ruined a once-great competition while also failing to turn it into a fit-for-purpose, reserves-style second tier comp. Talk about worst of both worlds.

    Hawks are gettable this week ๐Ÿ˜

    They may be 3rd on the ladder but they've played 6 of the bottom 8 teams, winning 5. Their other win was GWS, 8th on the ladder.

    They lost convincingly to Port; 12th. Their second loss was to Geel; 7th.

    Their great %'age is due to big wins over Rich and WCE.

    You can only beat who you play but that record doesn't say roaring success/finals contender to me.

    Dees by 7 pts in a nail biter!

    Out: Petty (concussion)

    In: JVR

    Oliver is obviously touch and go but I could imagine him coming in for Sharp.

    Oh please not JVR on the back of one good game against a terrible Richmond outfit. I know we need height but the guy messes up our forward line play. He seldom takes a mark against a good opponent. If he is in I hope they play him as a decoy drawing a good defender away from the action.

    so whats your answer with Petty out ? JVR has to come in. and we'd still be short up forward as he will do some ruck work.

    Judging by Goody's press conference I reckon Johnson may get a call up.

    Why is Oliver touch and go

    He is recovered from what ever ails him? I somehow I doubt it!

    May be some positive news soon

    Selection has been bizarre this year, goes to show how little we on the outside understand.

    Hawthorn looked bloody good on the weekend, will be a good test for where we are at right now.

    Jack I never mentioned Oliver!

    No JVR, heโ€™s had a few goes and a few fails, No Oliver, canโ€™t keep changing the team to suit him, itโ€™s not right

    Time to have a look at Sestan for Petty.

    Reckon we will win.

    Hawks have only beaten 1 top 8 team and that was in Tassie. They are on fraud watch for mine. This is absolutely a winnable game. They also haven't beaten us since 2018.

    I'm of the same mind on Hawthorn, absolute fraudsters.

    We are the hunters now, lads will be up for this and the West Coast game was a bruise free encounter.

    12 months ago we smashed them, now we are almost $4 to beat them. Thought weโ€™d open up a little shorter than that.

    Oddly (pun not intended) we were $3.30 for this game before we beat West Coast.

    Then after we beat West Coast the odds blew out to about $3.70, before Hawthorn played their game.

    I think a lot of that would have been based on Petty out of the clash

    Also the fact they smashed the Tigers

    Jefferson only had a short go then injured. We have to bring him on and now seems like an opportune time. If they do then leave him in for at least4 games to see how he goes. At least he has size and can hang on to a mark.

    Excellent test this Saturday

    Can we play 4 Quarters of pressure football?

    We can beat Hawthorn if we are mentally ready for them, so much has changed since we last played them at the โ€˜g

    100%

    AJ's finishing skills may not be AFL level but his intensity, second efforts and attack on ball / ball carrier plus pressure, in the air and at ground level, is a fair way ahead of JVR and a mile ahead of Jeffo at this point.

    They got themselves up for the 100th anniversary of the club. 100 greats of the club in attendance with presentations beforehand etc

    This week will just be a regular game against a team they haven't beaten since 2018

    And should stack up against an aggressive Hawthorn

    • 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
