I posted this in another thread but it is relevant here too: [Having fast and skilful distributors like Bowey is...] part of minimising turnover in our defensive 50, to prevent the opposing team from having turnover scoring opportunities. It also helps with starting the chain of fast movement down the ground in a reasonable manner. High half forward and half back are some of the most important roles in the game now because of this. It's pleasing that our chessboard shuffling has worked alongside the new game plan! -
Yes and then he clearly wanted to stay on the ground, based on his grumpy face on the bench! Tough cookie!
-
Yes it was the contest immediately before the Mills hit, remember Spargo grimacing and then rallying... only for the bump to happen. Poor Paul!

This was the first double, pleasingly! I've posted the record in the Podcast thread so it can be read out by @Demonland, to clear up the confusion people have about Narrm's success

It's available on 7+ app now!

Chandler - always double effort

Lovely way to even up the ledger, in both wins as Narrm and for some percentage! With that win, we're at 50% win rate in games as Narrm. I've done some homework: 2025 Rd 10 - Won against Brisbane Lions Rd 11 - Won against Sydney Swans 2024 Rd 10 - Lost to Waalitj Marawar Rd 11 - Won against Euro-Yroke 2023 Rd 10 - Lost to Yartapuulti (by 4 points) Rd 11 - Lost to Walyalup (by 7 points) 2022 Rd 10 - Won against North Melbourne (first game as Narrm) Rd 11 - Lost to Fremantle 4 out of 8, not bad! ❤️💙🎊❤️💛🖤

You're right, Narrm *! Loving this year's beanie

Yes, it was interesting how he described the defence zone that had been popular up until recently versus the newest iteration of zone defence we're doing which involves being in line with the defender's kick (and looks like guarding grass). Very enlightening to see how we're changing things and why it works!
-
Maybe it should be with a Kolt figure? 😉
-
That's cool, Kat! What is the name of the company?
-
I believe the change is because there is no such thing as emerging Elders so to speak - a person is either presently or previously an Elder (as appointed by the community). It's like how we don't have any emerging Prime Ministers etc (as opposed to an emerging leader). Here's a good article I found about it: https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/just-who-is-an-emerging-elder/yzuxeyokp

No, we won Rd 11 last year iirc and we've won before then too as Narrm. But certainly think this is the most satisfying win ❤️💙🎊
-
This was an interesting article and has quite a few learnings for the club. But also... we had the knowledge in our four walls and let it walk!!
-
Yes, I was thinking that too as I typed the previous and found it too dark a thought process for a Thursday morning at work 😂
-
I think it's a bit of a myth because we often have a form slump around this time (for instance, in 2022 we lost in Rd 11 after our 10 game winning streak to start the season). An unfortunate coincidence that it happens in the two rounds we are Narrm!
-
Not true! I've not gone and checked every game we've played as Narrm, but googling "Narrm wins" literally shows we've won as Narrm as recently as last year (against Euro Yroke in Rd 11, 2024) and earlier before that against the Roos.

It's a way of showing Clarry support given all the noise the media have made over the time off he took for his mental health 😊 I'll be clapping at my TV. Hope the turnout is good in Melbourne so he feels the love!
-
Jay Clark's paltry attempt at a Yoda impression...!
-
Yes, he's been working hard this year to get back to his best. There was a good post earlier in this thread about the impact of his injuries on his conditioning, which will take more than one preseason to overcome (given the conditioning is cumulative)
-
I suspect also that Clarry is adapting to the new(ish) game plan, like many of our players! The focus on handballs is part of our change in execution and is useful as a way of preventing Clarry's long bombs. Some water under the bridge yet before we can get a good idea of what Clarry's best will be in this scenario, yet people want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We all know the Club is seeking to change from the 2021 approach and find a new best.
