Game night thread: Melbourne v Hawthorn

Nope

Do you think they'll let us play the even up rule?

 

2 wrong holding the ball decisions 2 goals to Hawthorn. Umpires making this hard to watch

I don't understand the game anymore

I know we are going to lose.

I know they are going to have 200 more positions than us

I understand!

I am so proud of how we've attacked this game, and can't work out why EVERY decision goes against us.

if we have the ball and it's 50 50, it's holding the ball.

if they have the ball and it's 50 50, it's ball up.

IDENTICAL decision paid differently, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa rk


I don't like blaming umpiring, but this is the worst I have everseen!

Also Sylvia and petterd cannot find the pill!

 

Because he clearly has been our worst thus far

It's Garland who needs a slap!!!

Agree with the first part, disagree with the second. One brain fade by Garland in an otherwise solid performance so far.

Petterd has done nothing, Sylvia has done very little.

Forget it the AFL want us out of the competition like they did with Fitzroy. You only have to look at the umpiring in the last quarter to realise that. I know the signs because i'm ex Fitzroy.


I can't fathom how we can have 100 less possessions already. I know it's against Hawthorn but seriously?

No, we want ourselves out of the competition collecting 100 less possessions in half than our opponent.

Halftime: Haw 8.12.60 Melb 3.5.20

Hawks have 12 players with 10+ disposals to Melb's 1 (Garland)

Hawks have 115 more disposals than us which must be close to a record in a half of footy.

4 first half possies from the talented "game-breaker" Sylvia. Refer to my sig.

Petterd the rare honour of a full first half set of donuts in all stat categories

Mate how many possibilities have there been for Sylvia and Petterd to influence the contest?

When you lose every friggin stoppage and hardly touch the ball through the middle and the backline it's pretty hard for forwards to "do much"...

Petterd clearly didn't get the kick up the ass required during his stint at Casey, well back you go son (hate to say it).

Jeremy Howe seriously needs to work on his set shots.

Ricky has not touched the ball, get him off and get bate on now.

Why can't we get the ball? I just dont understand......

Awful.


Game over!!

I am now 100% convinced the captaincy burden has seriously stunted the growth of Jack Trengove.

Garland very stupid to take on Rioli.

Morton gave away 2 goals that quarter with more stupidity.

We really are a very very sad side.

Brainfades that costly warrant a slap in my opinion. Not a malicious slap, but a switch-the-eff-on slap.

Extremely disappointing quarter. The umpires had nothing to do with our complete drop in intensity. So once again, is it a fitness issue?? Between the ears maybe?

It's almost like at every break the players hear 'Great quarter, we are still in this, now go and play your old structure to show just how crap it is compared to how that went'

 

franklin in starting to carve frawley up, get someone else on him

No, just too much ball in their forward half. He is doing ok in the circumstances.

The application is there. We just gotta believe in Neil Craig & Neeld.

Hawthorn were knackered at half time. Just keep up the intensity boys. LEARN.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
