Good thing you're not a betting man then

Have played their 2nd half of the draw with teams below them and most of those at the Cattery

The only time they've come up against decent opposition (GWS and Lions), they [censored] themselves

Flat track bullies

I hope you’re right cos I thoroughly dislike them and hope they don’t win it

Don’t understand the the “fairytale” nonsense surrounding Gold Coast. 15 years to reach their first finals series and only propped up by the AFL throughout the years.

It is literally akin to that soulless club called Man City. Without the corrupt Arab oil money pre 2008, they were nothing but yearly relegation fodder. Even if they didn’t get relegated, their ceiling was mid table. The “rivalry” with Manchester United wasn’t even a thing pre the oil invasion.

Gold Coast making the finals is no achievement. It was long over due and should have happened 10 years ago. Hopefully Fremantle will do the job and knock them out.

I remember a christmas in the Nazareth of the North (Manchester) in 1990ish and almost wore the wrong Color into the wrong pub…saved by my host. Seems that the rivalry has been real for a long time…

 

Crows

Lions

Hawks

Freo

pretty confident of that multi too

Pies with no Hill or McStay. Daicos, McCreary, DeGoey all under injury clouds but will no doubt play.

I hope they get flogged and go out in straight sets.

Crows for mine so ANB has 2 flags. He played a great GF for us. Under huge pressure lot of the time.

Or Freo because Gus' brother plays there.

Underachievers Cats will go out again. Sure they make top 4 most years but have the stadium advantage in size and less than transparent issues. They should make top 4.

record of 1 flag since 2012 with taxpayer park support in place is poor IMO.

Dees on the right path to improve as a club currently IMO

100% - yet, their coach avoids scrutiny, the players avoid scruity, the whole joint avoids scrutiny

McStay omitted and Cox in.

Go Adelaide

Would love to be a fly on the wall at the Adelaide oval observing the "friendly banter" between Crow's supporters and the Magpie clan

 

How filthy would McStay be?!

especially being dropped for that US [censored]

ANB 200 games

Walker 300 games

Hope that’s enough to get them over the line


McStay’s 5 year deal looking a disaster right now

On fairly big money.

only played 30 odd games

No Jeremy Howe 👏

Either the cox selection will be a genius move & he'll kick 4 or 5, or it will be a complete flop & he won't touch it & get subbed out.

Lets hope it's the latter

Adelaide have 1 job tonight. They must not fail.

They have a home final & the majority of the crowd support

It's there captains 300th & Neal Bullens 200th

It's all set up for them


How’s the media on projecting the ‘brilliant move’ narrative for bringing in Mason Cox for McStay! ‘He’s a proven finals performer’ etc etc.

thankfully our own Gazza Lyon had none of it on 360.

I’d be staggered if Cix isn’t subbed out at half time for his 3 disposals at 33%

Does a team mate playing a milestone game makes everybody else play better or try harder?

I doubt that it's much of a factor once the ball is bounced.

What do other posters think?

It's a great narrative post match - and fundamentally flawed. If you're having to intellectualise doing it for someone, whilst you are out there, then you're not 'on task' and present to what's happening.

I think because it's there captain you'd want to make it memorable for Tex tonight.

I mean when ed played his 200th this year I wasn't thinking the players need to lift for him but maxy on the other hand you'd hope they would which I think they did.

I also just want adelaide to win tonight so any motivation they can find to beat the Pies is fine by me

I fully support this sentiment. Carna Crows.

edit Jordan Dawson is their captain, not Tex. He last held the job in 2019.

Reckon Adelaide, Brisbane, GWS and Freo win week 1.

In terms of other teams winning a flag, I don't want nor couldn't care less for anyone to win.

But I especially don't want a VIC club to win, so I'm ok with Adelaide, Freo, GWS or Brisbane winning it. (not even bothering with GC as they won't get past Freo)

It’s even easier for me…..anyone but Collingwood

Makes zero difference IMHO.

I also don’t like the “Do it for (insert name of retiring player for example)” thing. I remember when our beloved Jimmy passed away, in the lead up to the following match there was so much pressure on our players to “Win for Jimmy.”

I respectfully submit 1987 and R.Flower.

  • 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.
