Except that no-one praised the performance against Brisbane. As Rawlings' said on the team chat last week, the entire coaching staff were really disappointed with the lack of effort against Brisbane, especially in the second half.

Also, as Craig pointed out last week, there are no limitations (or excuses) being given to the players.

I was basing that on Neeld's comments post match, saying they were happy with a five goal loss away to Brisbane, who are typically strong at home. A load of rot imo, and others may disagree, but Brisbane are absolutely cod ordinary at the moment, were missing some big names, and in fact had a number of players with under 10 games if i recall correctly. I don't care what the internal expectations are, in no way was that an acceptable performance.

    RPFC, think you are wrong about the 2 year mandatory contract, pretty certain Prismall knocked Port back as he wasn't prepared to move interstate for a one year contract.

    As for being 2 years behind North, they finished 9th 2 years ago....

    Usually I would go straight to my copy of the CBA but they haven't released the latest one.

    I honestly thought it was a mandatory two year if you were selected in the NAB Draft. Perhaps '1st year players' get 2 and delisted players can stipulate terms...

    The CBA would answer it...

    He never said he was happy. Or anything like happy.

    Check the interview maybe.

    That's not the draft, that was FA or the PSD.

    I know players can stipulate terms in those instances, but not in the nat draft.

    And I am pretty sure there is a mandatory 2-year contract for kids in the National Draft.

    Fair enough, can't claim to be very knowledgable on the draft rules etc.

    bing, if you want to nitpick about wording then go nuts, but the sentiment was clear. Here is what he said in the presser:

    "We thought under 5 goals, kicking 14 goals, these things were good.."

    "To kick 14 goals against the Lions, they're a good side, particularly up here, we thought that was a pretty good go.."

    I take issue with both those statements on the grounds that they gloss over what was basically a shithouse display against a very medicore side in Brisbane, where the final score totally flattered the performance. You clearly don't think that, that's fine, but let's not pretend he wasn't expressing that he was pleased with the effort. As a supporter, I was far from pleased.

    • 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.

      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.
