That [censored] [censored] Maynard crashed ANB then mouthed off at him. Thats why Keays had a go at him. Maynard is a [censored] [censored]. That’s confirmed. Why did we lose to the Pies ???? Two weeks ago we had them in toast and bottled it!! Now the 7-commentators like Hamish Mcfriendship-bands is creaming his pants over the pies and barring up on Nick Daicos. [censored] !!! We had them beaten.

Mitch Lewis - answer your phone, Dees are calling !!! He would be a good addition.

@Whispering_Jack unfortunately I’m away in QLD for the next 2 weeks. Fortunately it’s a working holiday. Looks like a super triple header in this finals series. Recruiters to pack into Toorak Park on Sunday.

If Marshall leaves the Saints, they will keep Heath in my view.

Thanks @ChaserJ yes if he’s in the 2027 draft, then he’s definitely Tassie bound. He’s like a better Aaron Cadman !!!

@Travy14 ”casey” as a negative … you mean the venue!!! Yes it’s a 52km country trip down a busy highway to Cranbourne East. It’s a major issue , highlighted by Goody in his closing remarks.

Stupid act and deserved weeks.

Collingwood v Narrm9 Brittany Bonnici COLL 6 Tyla Hanks MELB 5 Kate Hore MELB 4 Sarah Rowe COLL 3 Carly Remmos COLL 2 Maeve Chaplin MELB 1 Mikala Cann COLL I think the Dees won !!! But again the pies coach (like McRae) loads up on their players votes Estimates below Stinnear: 5 Hanks 4 Bonnici 3 Hore 2 Chaplin 1 Cann Wright: 5 Bonnici 4 Rowe 3 Remmos 2 Hore 1 Hanks

Curnow will be at the Cattery or Swans if he decides to leave. Both have plenty of incentive for him.

Is this a joke ?? From AFL website MICHAEL ROGERS. Pies got favourable umpiring. Pies played a boring game. Dees had 10 players unavailable and 7 would be immediate best 21 starters. COLLINGWOOD has provided its NAB AFLW rivals with the blueprint to end Melbourne's winning run in its narrow loss to the Demons on Sunday. The Magpies had two late chances to win the game against the Dees but missed both shots in the final minute to go down by four points in a hard-fought contest at Victoria Park. But Pies coach Sam Wright's game plan, in which Collingwood denied Melbourne the uncontested possession that proved so damaging in big wins over the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda in the first two rounds, could unlock the opportunity for other teams to knock off the Demons, former Lions premiership player Kate McCarthy said. "Sam Wright put on a coaching masterclass this afternoon at Vic Park, McCarthy told The Wrap on Sunday night.

@adonski thanks. Sullivan Robey. From the last 2 games plus this video highlights pack …I see Strong marking Accurate kick for goal Good 2nd efforts Smart decision making Hits targets by foot Agressive at the contest and uses body positioning well Doesn’t turn and bomb it long to no one Forget the stats. He played as a marking CHF and then rotated into the midfield. That is a good mix. The issue is to work out does he have attributes that translate to AFL. I’d have to say it’s Yes.

It’s NATHAN BUCKLEY than daylight in my view He’s definitely got all the main attributes ticked off . He is driven to succeed. Has great insights. Commands respect. Sure others say he’s not a premiership coach or player but he came within a bees body part of winning one. I’m glad to see he’s sounding out some assistant role and who’s possibly available. That’s what we want to see. Steven King is only other possibility for me. Has the background and time as an assistant. James Kelly is a [censored]. Maybe if we go down the arrogant road but that was mark neeld so buyer beware.

Thanks @Random Task I had never seen that. I’ll check it out 👍🏻

Rory Wright another excellent game today in Dragons big win. He uses the ball with great effectiveness. Clever player. Together with Dalton and Fincher, the three classy left footers were too good for the Knights. All three will get drafted and their kicking skills will transfer into an AFL environment.

Honestly. We are blessed to have Kate Hore as our AFLW Captain and leader. She won it with two goals to nail the win. Not enough superlatives. Kate is a star ⭐️💙❤️⭐️💙❤️

Hopefully we have 21 players to field a team. I think it’s now going to get very hard to compete with 6-7 regulars out and Purcell especially

Dees defeat Pies & Umpires by 4 points Brave win!! Under strength team missing 6-7 best team players and Heath out of the game Umps clearly biased … clearly!!! Kate Hore is a star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TAYLA Harris 👏👏👏

Poor game Extremely poor umpires

Shelley Heath is out for the rest of the game, with elevated heart rate. Her rate has now been reduced to a safe level.

Kate Hore is a star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bailey Laurie is a tough one. He’s contracted so likely he stays on. We must give him some real games. He was clearly BOG v Williamstown in the VFL final yesterday. Perhaps the pace is not the same as the AFL and that’s where he gets caught out. But he makes good decisions and is skilled on left and right foot. It’s a tough one.

Saw some of a recent Eastern under 18s games , watching young guns like Dovaston, Greeves , Xavier Taylor and Oskar Taylor. Also noted youngster Sullivan Robey. He took some nice marks as a tall forward. Good kick. Looked like a footballer. Interesting to see Cal Twomey put him in his list on other youngsters to watch Yesterday in the Eastern v Western game, Robey collected 40 possessions, 3 goals and 9 marks. I will definitely be looking at that game on the video once it’s on the App.

Any news on Verrall?

That’s much much tougher. Frankston at Frankston. Fiery local home ground. Will test Casey once the pressure comes on.
