but i agree we should avoid making any silly statements until we have much more consistency and keep a lower profile without being invisible

"our aim is to play consistent football week in and week out - we look no further forward than the team we are playing next week - that is our focus"

( that is how the question should be answered)

I laugh when I see people calling for TMAC's head. Don't they realize when he plays poorly we lose? Drop him and we're no chance. 

Just so so dumb. 

Clearly he's important, just as clearly he's one of the most infuriating players I've ever seen.

infuriating is an understatement, but in this case i dont think we can heap any blame on the back 6. Not much you can do when stkilda have that much space coming out of our forward line. They played bravely 10-15m closer to goal than other teams have. If we had put preasure on up the ground we would be talking about all the intercept marks Tmac and Dunn had. But instead there was little to no pressure and the ball just got kicked over the top. Good luck stopping them when it gets kicked 10m over our heads.

Yes some of the responsibility lies up the ground, but the back 6 continually exacerbated it by leaving their own men to affect contests they realistically they had zero chance of getting to.  It just compounded the problem time and time again.  

Besides this, they let their opponents get goal-side too often, playing 5 metres off them.

You're a backman, your primary goal is to stop your direct opponent from getting the ball!

This is a coaching decision. I also find it frustration i was losing my voice yelling at every damn uncontested mark they were getting but I just feel we should be directing that blame to the box more than to the players.
I understand playing aggressively but when they kicked 2/3 quick goals to start the 3rd qtr why would we not change to a more defencive structure to stem the bleeding?? I guess it may be a learning thing for the players but god its hard for us supporters to watch

What happened to Joeboy?

IT APPEARS SOMEONE HAS CUT HIS LUNCH

In true Melbourne FC fashion, I suggest a duel at 20 paces, pistols only. 

Don't forget your canes and monocles, chaps.

Would definately entertain a trade for him at years end! Has tto many Flaws for my liking!

 

We were beaten by 22 clones, who should have been a lot more tired than what they were, after playing previously at roughly the same time but against a much

more debilitating opponent in Hawthorn who incidentally also collapsed this week. St Kilda's coaching methods need to be emulated or dirt samples taken.

No, I really think we should keep 'Joeboy'...I'm sure he will be back in form next week.

Ah I was refering to Tom Mc Donald. But if Joeboy can play Key defence then he might solve some problems!

  • 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.
