We're struggling to beat the competition's easybeats in our home state.

Yes, we have a much weakened defence but we should be doing better.

Dees 5.2.32 Lions 5.6.36

Collier just kicked a behind ... BL 36 M 32

True, but as you said Grimes, Frawley, Batram all out make it a severely weaken defence, and I think they have a few back, I know Power is back and kicked a supergoal.

Clay Beams kicks a goal for BL. BL 43 M 32.

BL has possession in Melb backline

Garland also not there.

Not great so far 49-32 now.

Cmon Dees

Polkinghorne kicks a banana goal. From the pocket. BL now 49. Melb 32.

We aren't looking great at the moment. A lot of kicking to contests, No efficient run and carry. Tackles don't stick. The defense is completely depleted that's one thing to note. Watts looks lost out there again although there isn't any direct ball movement.

Good to see gys and tappy and petterd running around. Ricky starting to take some grabs.

Petterd takes fine mark just outside 50 metres

About to line up for goal.

He kicks but just touched on the line

Watts goals from boundary line!


Watts receives free kick and will now have a shot from just outside 50 - but on the boundary

Watts kicks an outstanding goal - well done son!

Much needed goal from Dees. Melbourne 39 BL 50.

Dees needed that spark ... now down by 11 pts

Ricky Petterd rises to take a fine mark ... quickly gets the ball moving to Rohan Bail, who marks inside 50

Bail kicks a point

Ricky Petterd is playing some fine footy. Plucks them well.

22 games from Rick would be great in 2011

Very much like the Essendon game. Disposal and decision making is aweful.

Is Jurrah playing? cos if he is I haven't heard his name mentioned?


Half-time: BL 7.8.50 to Melb 6.4.40 - Melb trail by 10 pts.

Sounds like a pretty poor first half, even with many of the best 22 missing :(

Half Time - we trail by 10 points.

Goals to Dunn, Jetta, Maric, Martin, Sylvia & Watts

Luke Tapscott v. promising for what is virtually his first hit out with the club. Classy disposer of the ball compared to some of his more seasoned teammates.

Hope we bring out some system after the break.

No jurrah garland trengove grimes Davey from what I can see.

Petterd lifted and took some fine marks that qtr.

The ease at which teams carry the ball out of our fwd line is very frustrating. Luckily lions turn it over as much as us.

Midfield just lacks something at the moment. Just got to hope that the likes of jones and Silvia are still holding back.

I like the size and movement of Howe, should play some footy this yr.

 

Tapscott is a great positive and his kicking sublime.

Could be the theme of the day, taking away some individual highlights. Tapscott and Petterd so far.

Sounds though Tappy is going well, how many touches has he had?

Tapscott has been very good in first official hit out for Melbourne. His ability to hit targets and his long kicking skills have been on show

Just got some basic stats ... Marks: BL 73 Melb 29, Disposals: BL 187 Melb 144, Rich (14), Adcock (13), McGrath (12), Rockliff (12). Melb: Bail (11), Tapscott (11), Moloney (10)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • 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.
