Greetings from sunny Taranto 😎🇮🇪.

In the local lingo we're nessuna possibilità.

Bloody 07:15 start will interrupt my breakfast, both timewise and digestively (heartburn).

    @Ghostwriter can't sleep? 04:30 in Oz by my calculation!

    ♥️💙 GAMEDAY!!! ♥️💙

    It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that we win this match. We didn’t think we’d beat Brisbane at the ‘Gabba and we all know how that turned out 🎉🥳⭐️🥳

    Oh, who am I trying to kid. We’ll get smashed today. 😭

    Them by Disco (10 points) but only if Thilthorpe and Fogarty go off with concussion protocols in the first quarter otherwise toss in a Big Benny Brown with that Disco to make it a nice even 10 goals 😭

    GO US!!!

    Oh I can sleep! I’d love nothing more than to be asleep right now. I’m on my way to the airport for a criminally early flight having had only three hours sleep because I made the stoopid decision to watch the cricket last night.

    Your 7:15am game start time sounds like a luxury to me 😅

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    I’m hoping the boys are heartily singing our song in the rooms after the match ♥️💙

    I’m also hoping for a cure for cancer and an end to world hunger so yeah I shoot for the stars.

    Hoping to see more glimpses from our young players.

    Jefferson, JVR, Kolt, Langford, Bowey, McVee and Lindsay.

    These guys are the future now and I hope thr likes of Jefferson and Kolt can really start to showcase their talent and show why we took them early. Not only that, its time they start locking down a permanent position in our best 22.

    It's all about looking ahead to next season for me.

    I want to see the youngsters and some of our lesser lights given game time and the opportunity to develop.

    I'm over some of our senior leaders and want to see real changes in the off season to set us up for our next cycle of success.

    You posted this at, what, 8am?

    And as always, you can speak for yourself.

    We’re having a rubbish year but there are only 23 games for us to watch the team we all love (well I assume you do. It’s almost impossible to discern from your posts though).

    Like Dazzle said above, today’s another chance to see the kids in our team try to bed down their spots. It’s a chance to see if/when our senior core will pull their finger out and work out how to harness our faster ball movement without constant turnovers. And it’s a chance to see whether, with zero expectation, we can repeat our Fremantle and Brisbane upset wins.

    Plenty to care about. If you can’t muster that up, that’s on you.

    Geez poita, there's been quite a handful of [censored] seasons to choose from over the last 3 decades.

    You get to games like this and rely on Max and Kozzy highlights to bring small moments of joy.

    Hope the kids go alright and I hope Jeffo and JVR finally find their feet in this shambolic forward setup

    Flew in Friday night with my daughters for their first ever interstate game, seemed like a good idea months ago. Nice day at the zoo yesterday. Brekky in Glenelg then will catch the tram in. This could get ugly. Any recommendations for a good pub near the ground for some liquid anaesthetic.

    Lovely day in Adelaide, looking forward to supporting the boys. Too many here worried about the destination and not the journey.

    But not so uninterested that you’d abstain from posting in this thread. But then, how else would you get your kicks, right?

    Nothing new to selection table, same old same team. We will get smashed.

    We drop players then promote them after a poor performance in the reserves. Do we think so lowly of our reseves (MFC listed ones) players that we cannot give them a run in the first's. Our season is over isn't it ?

    If the Crows take a W for granted, and we take advantage of our opportunities in front of goal, then we are a slim chance. But, being brutally honest, the chances of those stars aligning are pretty slim.

    I want to see us have a red hot crack for four quarters, all of our ‘seniors’ to show the way, and our ‘youngsters’ to start believing that they really belong at the level.

    This game, like the remainder of the season, is a litmus test for everyone who wants a spot on our list next season. Let’s see what they make of it. I’m hoping for lots of positive signs.

    • 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.
