I miss Harmes !

At least he offers some run off half back. Michie is slow and has turned it over almost every time he's had it.

 

 Dear Coaching staff - EFFEN WELL TAG GIBBS!!!!!!!! 

Need to shut down Gibbs and Cripps. 

Big big big big second half required. Did I say enough bigs? 

 

They can do no wrong, but momentum really turned in the middle of that quarter. That free against Bernie really wasn't a free kick and I suspect the umpire knew it after he paid it. 

Really dissapointed in the midfield this week. The contested ball numbers are out of control.

Strangely I still have faith. Just need a few things to click as our forward line has the ability to get it done if we get in down there quickly. 

Viney looks to be struggling. Not sure if he's had a different role the last few weeks but he seems to just be late to the ball instead of in and under.

why is stretch in such panic seems to have lost confidence in 1 week

Let's see what the coaches can do with them at half time!

Are there any coaches here today ? :huh:

Game so far wouldn't indicate it :unsure:

If we lose this game and then come out and smash Geelong i might have to find another club. 

Could have drafted Cripps ahead of Salem. Jason Taylor's decision?

It really didn't. He stood exactly where he was and realised only too late that he wasn't in the right spot. He still would have marked it if he'd jumped at the right time.

Yeah that kick from watts was perfect.

reckon we brought anb & Michie in to counter the wet weather... too bad it's not raining!! 


We will win, clean up inside 50's and have a crack in the middle

Team selection again baffling. 

For one Pedersen ahead of Weiderman would help. Weids will be good but he isn't ready and we need to win right now! 

Michie is useless. Soooo slow. I guess we expected rain. He can take Bugg and go back to the VFL. 

Viney, Jones and Gawn having shockers. How can we win like that?

So were you saying the same thing against Hawthorn????  

too many doing too little

I can't stand to watch the second half. I'll watch the replay if we win but for now I'm off for a very wet lunch.

Cmon, boys!

89% DE says otherwise. He's been average but there's no need to be silly about it.

Most of the team are playing like puss here. Scapegoats might ease the pain but that's the reality.

Sometimes you can see the required intensity, and hunger for the contest even though you are a fair way behind on the scoreboard, and that always gives you hope.

 

We are being annihilated in the contest, and are looking as flat as a tack. I have very little confidence that we can finish in front.


Last year we were behind by 47 points at half-time and outscored then by 24 in the second half.  It was too little too late. 

My gut feel is we'll win this and if we do it will show a new level of maturity.

Great response from Dom Tyson (after a poor start). He was influential in the second quarter, part the reason we clawed back into the game.

I bloody hope so.

About the only positive I can find at the moment is that we have played like almost total crap, but are still in the game on the scoreboard.

    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.
