Tom McDonald: lots to like, but he costs us goals with the constant turnovers. Seems unable to kick to a Melbourne player and have the ball arrive at the destination.

I've been banging on about kicking actions for a long time but he and Grimes have two of the worst and are probably our two least reliable kicks, coincidence?

 

Can anyone tell me what happened to Nathan Jones?

Stats are saying 5 disposals, 5 clangers, and 0% effective?

was that Matt Jones turning it over again ????

Surely not. The 50% disposal efficiency is just a statistical blip.
 

Grimes doesnt need to be the cleanest kicker. He is hard at it, he is getting the contested marks and he is trying. He's in out top 5 so far this match and he didnt play in quarter one.

Salem is showing some class, wish we had him all year. Viney having a good game, Cross seems to be in positions to get the ball but cant say he's having an impact. Dunn's been good.

Matt Jones would have to be the worst skilled player on our list. Please tell me he is not contracted for next year someone. What is Roos thinking picking this guy for games? Grimes had to wear the vest instead of Jones? FFS.


Salem looking good for the run, ANB and Stretch showing some glimpses.

tom mc shocking disposal week in week out hope o is better

Subbed out. Foot injury. In moon boot. Arghhh!

Out injured. Foot/ankle.

It is a statistical blip. It's recording handballs that go to players being tackled. Should be reading 0%

Had a woeful game, then did his ankle.

That covers the kicking, but how about the poor handballs?

Grimes has a couple of doozies today - though like his intent and general presence around the ball/contest.

Not sure though that we can have both Cross and Grimes in the team ...

I think Stretch has shown enough this year to suggest he'll be a good player for us. Hasn't had any huge games this year but has shown plenty of glimpses of what he can do once he puts some weight on and builds a tank.

yep. Gutsy, excellent decision maker, reads the game well, good disposal. Will be very good. Salem is very special, Neal-Bullen will also be very good.

This how bad Melbourne are. They're so bad that I'm watching Spider-Man3 on TV because it's more entertaining

Can someone please make it stop


Roos certainly hasnt got the quality of player needed to get playing anything looking like a plan :

Total pile of steaming pus of a team !

Still doesn't quite have the speed of the game yet, but Salem straightens us up so well. Hoping we can get within 4 goals here.

I'm very pleased to inform you that Dean Terlich and Matt Jones have contracts for next year.

Whoever's in charge of list management (Mahoney?) isn't doing a great job. Why not just get these guys on rolling contracts? Not like other clubs will go after them.

Well done Max! Reckon he's gone ok against Sandi today.

What the hell has happened to Spencer? Absent since half time and Max has had to ruck on his own.

I am having flash backs to ten years ago when we played Freemantle and kicked about 50+ points in the final quarter to win. . I think Woinamerri kicked a bag of goals.

Sure did,

I don't know if it's possible and if we had the funds, but I'd be doing everything in our power to buy out the last year of their contracts. Either that or trying to trade them for picks in the 100s. Just get them off the list any way we can.

 

Roos will be happy that he can use the injury excuse (Spencer and Jones) for this performance.

Injured I think WB

  • 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.
