I feel sick. So melbourne, so pathetic, what an absolute rabble. 

 

Just got home, haven't seen a second of the game, but it's clear that we went with the choke this afternoon.  So terribly deflating and disappointing.

I know our season isn't over just yet, but at the same time, I'd be shattered if it was as I'm not ready for it to be at all.  If this does end our season it will leave a very sour taste in the mouth.

For those who watched the game - what was the problem today?  Did we look nervous early and couldn't claw our way back in?  Or did the Pies simply want it more?

Pies were much harder at it and we can't stick a tackle

Quick look at the stats suggests you are not wrong there, GC.

It also looks as though we had more than our share of the ball AND more inside 50s, yet we couldn't put a score on the board as well as the Pies did.  Did Hogan's injury hurt, or not really change a thing?

 

Bitterly disappointing. The equation is now this. Essendon lose, or West Coast lose/win by less than 4 goals and we're in.

Crazy to say that this team is still a pretty good chance to make the finals after today's display…but that's footy.

Effort was there in the end but butchered the ball dumb footy

Brownie just said that the Eagles will need to win by at least 25 points tomorrow.

I know we don't really deserve it after today but that's life.


Simon will say its all part of the journey

An optimist will say, we're ensuring Buckley gets reappointed for mediocrity

A pessimist will say - we're not comfortable with being favourites still... 

This particular realist says - 7-10th is about where we are, in a really really even year.

Overall, behaviourally we (and all teams) struggle with sustained pressure - its how do we as individuals push back and regain composure under heat.- we're young (and some are old) and we're not great at it - and it will come in 2018 and beyond methinks.  Little things affect our psyche so much - first goal to Jeffy would have helped the mood to free us up.. for the first qrt - was relatively even after qrt time. 

This was about the 10th defining game in a row - we've had significant injuries to significant personnel - I still maintain that this (in a sample of one) is disappointing BUT not indicative of the same old flaws... we can't help to buy into it when we care so damn much though.

Game was over when Hogan got injured surprisingly we got back into it after the injury

They wanted it more than us. We didn't come to play. Our coach had a bad day. He should have read the signs last week.

True to form mentally soft.  When will this club get over this mental fragility that we have.  We lost 5 games we should have won

Tom mcdonald trade him


Only got to see about 10minutes worth while at work today and saw three soul crushing turnovers off Tom McDonald's boot.

The Soft Underbelly at The MFC is still very much alive and well. 

It must be addressed over summer or we will continue to just waste our time. 

The list still needs massive work. 

Max Gawn needs to get out of the Media and improve his game. 

Nathan Jones needs to be replaced. 

He doesn't stand up like a Captain should. 

Sorry i have to say it. But it happens too often

Quite simple as to why we lost.

Numbers around the ball in the first half for us were abominable.

Two incidents stick out for mine.

Goldsack and Melksham going in a contest in Collingwood's forward fifty.

Melksham sits on his arse and decides not to chase. He gets the ball back eventually but gives it up and Collingwood score a goal.

Max and Cox compete in the first half and Cox blocks him. Max throws his hands up for a free while Collingwood whisk the ball forward.

We got back in the last half but had we actually gave a toss in the first half then we wouldn't have to have used all our petrol tickets getting back in the second half.

Even IF the Crows beat the Weagles, it's going to get ugly for us. We ARE NOT SEPTEMBER READY.

 

 

shocker of a day   could have been much worse.  Brown said Eagles would have to win by around 25 pts against Adelaide to tip us out.

If we make it a weeks rest will be good   .  6 day break today  and IT   showed.    

hogan may be right by then

 

Wow. We need to play a finals this year to give some of these guys experience in big games. 

So many of our boys played so bad. 

Pedersen, Jones, Hannan, Harmes, Tmac, slOwMac, Gawn. Even Hibberd and Jetta didnt play well.

  • 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

    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.
