NOTHING SPECIAL

I did tell you WJ that this game would be anything but "Nothing Special" I do hope this weeks Review will be a little more optimistic.

I look forward to your next parable

I'll definitely try to sugar coat my next review (due for the Geelong game). There's still some water due to flow under the bridge before that game but I'm looking at ... say ... a 5 goal win. Do you think that's a big enough margin or should I go for 7 goals? ;)

    C'mon WJ, that really was a "special" match. Good skills and all...

    No tell it like it is W.J. You do it well, i just thought you were off the mark a little last week. A lot of work has been done at Melb over the past 9 months as you would know & i thought the club deserved a slightly more positive approach. My opinion.

    Knock it off guys - the only reason that the match was "special" is because we won it.

    The main reason that we won it is because Richmond were atrocious.

    Does anyone honestly think that last Sunday's match would have been at all exciting to watch for those who do not support Melbourne?

    Good performance from the team, yes.

    Objectively "exciting", "colourful" or "special" game of Aussie Rules? No - not unless you count ending Wallace's career.

    Not much in this world gets you excited does it Hazy? Rather Sad really. Considering where this club of ours was 12 Months ago i actually considered last sunday very special, I hope the team can back it up in the coming weeks.

    It was not a special game in general though WYL.

    It was enjoyable from an MFC point of view but that does not make it special. Would you call North Melbourne beating Essendon on Sunday "special"? You'd be laughing or lying to say yes.

    The skills were some of the most amateurish I've seen in a match, not helped by the fact both teams fell into the trap

    The 2nd Q showed a lot of promise to me 45. Its been a while since we kicked an 8 goal quarter when it mattered. The boys played some good footy.

    Compared to some games last year it was great. Lets see how well we can play against adelaide this sunday. We are a chance.

    Didn't see the Essendon Kangas game i was out, but the world tells me it was atrocious so i will believe them.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
