Yep 💯 let Jeffo have half a season at it and lets find out now if he's got it.

It was cute when people on here thought we'd be thr Hawthorn of this year.

While our streaks over North, St Kilda and Hawthorn have all now snapped. I would really like to somehow get a win over Adelaide whenever we play them. I vowed after the 1 point loss in 21 that we'd never lose to them again.

Adelaide score for fun and have good intercepting defenders. They will snap us in half offensively, and absorb every terrible kick to the hot spot from our three Premiership midfielders.

There is no world where Lever gets dropped. He's a liability, but Goody doesn't care.

I am half expecting some god to still believe in that.

The measure for me is this:

When it became apparent that there was more chance of Ozzy Osborne making it to the stage for the Black Sabbath farewell show on July 6 in Birmingham than MFC making finals, it was done-diddly-done.

McDonald was our best defender this season. Came out the minute a Goody favourite managed to get through a half of VFL footy without breaking a bone.

Well, that game simplifies things.

From here on, any niggle of significance and the player gets rested. Anyone not fit gets to take some time to do a mid-season pre-season, and spots in the 22 have to be skewed to commitment to the best methods even ahead of talent.

Of course, the trouble with that is it will result in more blowouts and excessive use of caps lock in footy forums.

We can only hope the club is mature enough to push through that and keep the focus on 2026.

Let's not waste these next 9 games with some fanciful illusion we'll sneak into the 8 or trying to chase wins that will amount to nothing.

This is now the time to prepare us for 2026. Play Jefferson and JvR up front. Put Petty down back

May + Melksham to Casey. Viney to a forward pocket.

Use this as an opportunity. I know Goodwin is a self-described "winner", but it's now about the big picture. If he's still chasing wins this season instead of formulating a game plan that will challenge in 2026, then he can go.

No

It was born of hope and I salute Adam for having that hope.

Let's keep it open to measure those green shoots for next year.

@Adam The God still likening us to Hawthorn of last year?

Funnily enough both us and the Hawks were on 7 wins after round 14 last year.

Crazy to think that despite the horror shows against Freo, WCE and the Pies last year, we were still better than what we are this year comparing a W/L record.

We were dead after round 5. Sure the wins against Freo & Brisbane were nice surprises, but the weight of evidence from the past 2 years strongly supports the view that we are a terrible football team.

Unfortunately with how poor our basic skills are (kicking, tackling, marking all need work) and the game plan of bombing it long into congested forward lines, there is no way we go 9-0 to finish the year on 14 wins, which, the way this season is tracking, will be the minimum needed to scrape into the 8.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
