Things we can do to be Un-Melbourne-like

If you want to be un-Melbournelike then perhaps you need to invent a time machine and go back to Sunday 24 May, 2015 or Sunday 21 June, 2015 and discover what it was about the team that led it to produce such diametrically opposite outcomes to those of the past two weeks instead of contemplating on the attitude of supporters or perceptions about the culture of the club.

It's only two or three years ago that Richmond supporters were consigning their memberships to the microwave but that sort of thing has nothing to do with improving player fitness, skills, mental approach and team strategies.

Concentrate on those things and not the BS we've been hearing lately in the media. Teach the players how to perform and do it consistently, that's all.

2. Get over Tom Scully

FCS, this boy was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that any son of ours (posters) would be crazy to say no to. Yes he lied. But look at Lachy Henderson's truth. Look at Wallet's truth to the Bulldogs re: Sydney. We say players are weak. Fact is clubs themselves can't handle the cold hard reality.

OK, I enjoyed the banter of the money bags in the first game at the G, Melbourne v. Scully.

The continuing angst is just petulance in my book. Extreme petulance.

2. Get over Tom Scully

Did that long ago. I don't think many take issue with the decision, just the deceit.

He's not done much to hurt us until this year & his leaving created opportunities that we've capitalised on. Getting Hogan

The irony is that this year the footy he was playing pre-injury is exactly what we lack. Hard two way running on the outside

It's taken a long time but he now looks like becoming the player we hoped he'd be for us

So be it


Give value for membership $$$$$.

 

Block/shepherd for teammates, put in an effort for 4 quarters (not just one), find targets, don't handball to teammates under pressure, attempt to move the ball on quickly, don't just bomb the ball into the forward line (especially to 3-1 contests), don't handball to teammates' boots, improve

clearance record, ruckman - actually tap to teammates, kick to teammates' advantage (not up and unders), kick goals rather than points (especially at critical times in matches), reduce incidence of fumbling and dropped marks, run both ways, run and spread to give teammates options, run and

spread, run and spread, don't fly for marks against teammates in a position to mark... Need I go on?

There's still angst about $cully. Really?

Sheesh. I must have the ear plugs in and the blinkers on. Haven't heard or read a thing.

I would have said, turn up to play. It's a biggy the last 3 games.

Get some overall vision to the club in terms of a plan for:

1. A long term home base

2. A standalone reserves team in the VFL

Set some standards for the playing group.

With either:

A) If you don't bust your absolute backside off and bring a physical intensity every time you play you don't play

OR

B) If you can't execute basic skills you don't play

I'd like to do both at once but I don't think we have the depth. Either way it seems too many guys coast through getting regular or semi regular games despite never improving

  • 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.

  • 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.
