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)

I'd say tappy has had about 8 or 9 possies, couple of clearances.

The marks stat is significant, we always kick to contests and are rarely in space

    Jack Watts needs to learn to take marks in his hands. I can't believe the forwards coach hasn't taught him that.

    He dropped two chest marks that quarter due to gving his opponent the opportunity to make body contact and spoil.

    29 marks to 73?

    29 marks to 73?

    Yeah that's huge huh??? especially if a majority are contested like mentioned. I'm not there but surely we've gotta man up, seems like they must just be chipping it around at will. As I said I'm not there so correct me if I'm wrong.

    The good news- we're missing Jurrah, Green, garland, Davey, bartram, grimes, mckenzie, frawley and Morton.

    The bad news is we're playing very ordinary footy. So many simple skill errors and turnovers.

    Petterd took some ripper grabs that pleased the fans.

    I wouldn't ripped into Watts had he not have kicked a nice goal on the flank. Scully has had about 2 touches. Either he's not going near the ball or the balls not going near him.

    Great to see Tappscott get a couple of kicks including a 60mtr bomb that set up the opening Martin goal.

    Yeah he has spilt one or two today. But give him a break, has laid some good tackles and contesting well. It'll come..

    Not there either Dee. But it's a concerning stat.

    Yeah was just looking at the Demonland Banner 5 outta the 7 key players missing plus man more, only sylvia and sculy playing, and scully will take a couple of hit outs to find the ball again i'd say.

    Tuning in from the other side of the planet where it's the middle of the night and I've just woken up to the half time score.

    Disappointing to read that we're still committing the same sins that we did last week but it looks as if we don't really have the A team out there and, as my taxi driver reminded me earlier tonight, it's only a practice match (he couldn't speak English but at least I think that's what he was saying). Anyway, I wouldn't get my knickers in a knot folks. The same driver told me the Cats and the Saints both copped floggings and I'll be back to direct the team's fortunes for Round 1.

    Meanwhile, I'm looking over the Mediterranean and wondering if the mad colonel has been kicked out by his people yet. Time to go back to sleep.

    Ball goes into BL forward line ... Rockliff kicks a goal.

    Scores: BL 56 M 40.

    Scully wins free out of centre ... Watts gain shot for goal. From just on 50 metres

    Watts kicks a beauty from 50 metres ... fine goal.

    Scully to Watts, Watts from 50 - goal!

    He lack of defensive pressure all across the ground is excruciating to watch.

    Luke Power goal.

    62 - 47 to Lions

    Goal to Rick Petterd, then a goal to Lions after kicking across goal.

    Down by 16 again - 69 - 53

  • Quote

    The russian brings it back to 10 again.

    Lions goal coming then?

  • Quote

    Yep, goal to Lions.

    And another one to follow.

    Lions 81 - Dees 59.

    :(

  • Quote

    Rohan Bewick kicks a goal for the Lions. BL increase margin. BL 81 M 59.

    Unfortunately for Melbourne - that's the biggest lead so far in the match and it's by BL.

    Jetta again bangs the ball forward. But BL defend. Regain possession in middle

  • Quote

    Scully to Watts, Watts from 50 - goal!

    Let's hope we hear that a lot more in the next decade!!!!!!!!

    • 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.
