GAMEDAY - ROUND 5

Too easy for them to get around us in the midfield. Too many tackles not sticking. They seem to have way too much time with the ball. Running and body strength in desperate need of improvement!

 

Watts just gave up on the chase out of our forward line - pathetic and gone. Probably a nice bloke - never want to see him again...

Watts gone forward thank [censored]

Watts can not be selected after this garbage, can you imagine how Dunn and Strauss must feel with this loser getting games ahead of them

Watts has gone forward, praise The Lord!

He's been running between back and forward all game, hence why he's knackered.

One of the few really trying to chase, his teammates are letting him down on that front.


Number of Kicks are similar, but they have 111 handballs to our 47.

Everything else is pretty even.

McKenzie very underdone looks really slow.

Pederson is an absoloute spud.

 

Should be 6 goals down.

Get a clue mate. Watch how much ground he's covering and how many times he's left the lone chaser, that's why you notice him.

Watts gone forward thank [censored]

Except that he won't / can't / knows not how to ........chase!!!!!

FFFFFFFAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKKK

70 possessions less, they kicked 2.8......we should be 5 goals down minimum.

We are confused little boys out there.


Looking at half time

Body language we will win this game.

Stuie - really...

We should be 3 or 4 goals down but still in it. We need to chase a gun mid at seasons end!!!!!!


God almighty boys. Perspective please. I agree that the Lions should be winning by more but be thankful. In the past, the head would have dropped by now and it would have become a procession.

Rodan, Blease, watts are all liabilities, no defensive pressure or second efforts what so ever. Melbourne have a terrible work rate with too many lazy footballers. Until this changes we will stay at the bottom of the ladder.

Side note: while Watts has been woeful and nowhere near enough physical presence, seems to be a bit restricted in his running. Anyone aware of any injury concerns?

Watch. The. Game. Properly.

He's buggered cos he's the only one chasing and the way the zone is setup he's doing everyone's work.

Our skills, fitness, ability to close down space and mental application are just so second rate.

How we are only 6 points down is beyond me. We look absolutely knackered and just can't break tackles or hit targets. Work so hard to bring it out of defence and then a costly turn over happens.

  • 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.

  • 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.
