Watts inability to extend his arms this far into his career when trying to mark is embarrassing on him.

Three times he's done it today.


Outcoached.

They know they've got us with two spares in defence. We always give it up on that last kick into the 50.

Where are all the posters who said this game is a certainty and that we HAD CHANGED????

Ha ha. 

If we are lucky enough to scrape a win all good, but we still have a loooong way to go to be a respected football club.

 

 

I'm watching it in and out as we are having friends over for a BBQ but EVERY forward entry has been a long bomb to garlett in a marking situation and usually out numbered... what's the deal with that? Are our tall forwards not working hard enough. 

 

Will be an interesting 4th quarter see if our "leaders" have learnt from last year. 

If we miss finals by one game it will be this


I'm at the game and can't believe what's going on. Even for an eternal optimist like myself I don't think I've been this frustrated in a while. Where the hell is the team from last week? 

Naive coaching. Goodwin must ring in the changes. Players need to bite the bullet and take game on. Start winning some clearances would help as well.

What has happened to Brayshaw. Does not seem right at all.

Goody needs to makes some changes.

He also needs to get through to them somehow, clearly what he said at half time sent them to sleep

What the hell is going on with our forward structure? Jeffie has been our "target" 3-4 times with him being outnumbered almost every time. 

Pathetic quarter from us then, we need to be and are better than this. Leaders need to stand up. Watts needs to start taking marks out in front of his eyes instead of chesting it. 

We need lift from a lot of our senior players. I'm backing us, but boy we need some of the boys to pull their finger out and stop playing like rockstars.

Is not best 22

Classic Melbourne.

We just play dumb football and then panic under a scintilla of pressure.

Blues want it more, pure and simple.

Will Hogan go for his punch?

Port have kicked 2 points less than us in a quarter in what has taken us 3. Funny what happens when you take the game on.

I hereby dub this the MFC’s “Scars” game. It will define the players with baggage from the past, and will forever show us which supporters have that same baggage.


50/50 contest at this stage, Blues have the momentum. Was there's to lose from halfway through the second. Defensive transition has been far superior to Melbourne's, putting more pressure on our backs than we do theirs. We saw in that quarter that when you're on top in that way and being effective in transition, eventually you'll score. We've dominated possession but it's overuse and inefficient disposal. 

This is simply awful.  Lets see what we do - step up or wilt off?  We have brought Murphy, Cripps etc into the game.

Going to find out if we are serious now.

Reset its your time Goody

 

Typical Melbourne and typical Round 2 Melbourne.

  • 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.

  • 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.
