Our second quarter was below VFL standard today, it was as bad as any we had last year under Neeld.

We just sat back and spectated as they brushed us aside.

Take that out and we win the game, but football is a four quarter game not 2 or 3 or two and a half, it was embarrassing.

    If you genuinely do not think there are any positives, just give up and leave us all alone WYL. Seriously.

    2nd Q was below AFL standard. Enough said.

    Yes, true. But his opinion is often pure negativity without any basis on what's going on with the club.

    Ha! I'm the one 'ranting' when you won't even consider the myriad positives this season is delivering?

    The 2nd Quarter killed any positives. That is the reality.

    This time last year the game would have been over 10min into the 3rd by them kicking 10 unanswered goals. The fact that we never gave up and fought hard up until the final siren is a step in the right direction in my book.

    I actually watched the hole game for a change without being frustrated that they gave up to easily which is all a asked from the boys this season.

    Honestly, what were your expectations for this year? Considering where we are coming from I expected pretty much what we are getting.

    Slow but steady improvement, which is what we are getting.

    Remember our first five games last year............

    That 2nd term was Ablett conscience nonsense.

    The rest was good. Our brand of footy ain't pretty but effective.

    28 I50s to 20 after half time. We are getting there. Too bad Tyson was down and McDonald out played.

    Could have won that.

    No, that is not the reality.

    The reality is we are not giving up in games that, in 2013, we would have.

    The reality is that we are far more competitive in the middle than we have been of late.

    The reality is we are restricting team's scores a lot more than we have been able to in the past.

    The reality is that we are coming from such a low position that being in the game with Gold Coast is, right now, an improvement for us.

    Yes. But all that gets thrown down the bog with a 2nd Quarter that was put in today.

    Watch it again.

    There is no excuse for the majority of the side to be in that mindset.

    Chance to win 2 in a row thrown away in 30 minutes of standing around.

    That is the reality

    So should Paul Roos and co just throw up their hands and say "Got nothing for you" when the players ask what they did right?

  • Quote

    That was quick.

    Should have been a free to Jack. His opponent was holding him when he was no where near the ball. He just grabbed him and slung him out of the way. There USED to be a 'holding the man' rule.

    You think the players have attitude issues, yet you refuse to acknowledge positives when they're staring you in the face.

    Classic.

    Poor form

    I really think that video is a bit unfair and a disgrace from us supporters.

    He was really bad today, Watts, but that passage of play isn't that bad and it would have happened to 15 others today.

    At least he laid a tackle today! We had 5 players notch up a big fat 0 in the T column. People give it to Watts partly because he deserves it, but partly because they're biased. He was not the only player today to play poorly, so why is he the only one to get shamed on YouTube?

    with you on this one, get sick of the 'supporters' on this site continually getting stuck into certain players,, frickin' douchbags the lot of them

    The "skills" exhibited by Melbourne players was shocking. Continual handballing to players under pressure, poor kicking and dropped marks. GC's skills were much better.

    Watts' "tackling" was pitiful.

    I also thought that the forward line was way too top heavy.

    I'm normally not a fan of Pederson, but I thought he was far from our worst today. Bail was invisible.

    Until such time that the Melbourne players warrant my attention, I will devote my interest to anything else besides the club. Bring on the game tomorrow, that will be another classic!

    Oh, that'll be a shame that we wont get to read your pearls of wisdom, including you talking about your vomit and telling Frawley to leave the club.

    • 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.
