    I would like to see a tough hard second half where we contest everything with ferocity and make them hurt. If we can win the second half it will help is in our preparations for next season. Another [censored] poor display.......who knows what will happen over summer

    Didnt see that coming. Feel sorry for everyone who went over to perth to support the boys. We are still a young side, and this is an experience they will never forget. The future is bright and we will be up there for the coming years ahead.

    ....apart from all that.............F. Uuuuuuuuuu........

    They have taken away the hallmarks that have held us in good stead all year.  Time to get back to basics and earn some respect Melbourne.

    I would like to see them outscore the Eagles for the second half as a minimum.

    Half the team overawed and the adrenalin that we have played on over the past month has run out.

    Need a Plan C from Goodwin after half time.  Petracca and vdB into the middle. Oliver one out at FF. ONLY Frost on Kennedy. Tom Mc to CHB.

    Playing for pride now.

    This has nothing to do with gameplan. 56 of WCE 69 points from turnovers. Overawed by the occasion, and the eagles being a very good side put us to bed. 2019.

    Leaders have gone missing again when it counts. 

    Diddnt even know Jones was playing. 

    Viney to be sole captain next yr please. 

    He’s done SFA too. Tom MacDonald aclear choice for me.

     

    Oliver having to use the toilet just before the game unusual. Perhaps food poisoning? Would be surprised if the players food got spiked over there.

    West coast are playing angry after the last two losses to us over there. We have not stood up at all. Struggling to find a good player. Viney tried in the second quarter Tmac stood up in the first apart from that horrible


    Look, we can still win (although unlikely), but that's not the point. We've already surpassed expectations this year. So our buildup for next year is what truly matters. We need to show that we won't stand for this. If we're going to go down, we have to salvage some dignity and at least send the message that we'll be back next year, a little older, wiser, fitter, angrier...

    8.8 from turnovers is the story right there. And it’s not because of the opposition, it’s just the nature of the game. Play them in Melbourne, get the first 3 goals, and it’s an opposite result. Once the confidence goes with young guys, it’s like a waking nightmare, which this is.

    Yes I am gutted

    But we are a long long way ahead of where we were a year ago - have applied magnificent pressure the past month and have just burned out

    All that hard work we did to get here, all those hard fought wins, all that effort, just for us to play the worst game of the season. It’s like all that hard work for nothing. I’m gutted. I’ll watch the rest of the game, then I have a father and brother here. Absolutely miserable mood here. Like a funeral

    This is about next year now, sad as it sounds that’s the truth. Regardless of the result I’m proud of them but to lose by such an embarrassing margin will live with us. We need to fight and scrap for everything as if it’s a new game, Gawn needs to fight back as that’s as bad a half of footy he’s played. It actually looks like he’s given up on his midfield with taps to no one and instead slapping it forward. 

    Spargo should’ve kicked his goal, Viney should’ve got a reversed free (umpire was scared of overturning it because of the crowd), and Jones shanked a simple kick to ANB which should’ve give a shot on goal. Aside from those times we’ve barely looked like scoring.

    We are fit, and anger does nothing good. The first two are a given.

    A very Melbourne-like finals campaign 

    Very circa 1994.

    If you're at the ground do you leave early? I know we give Adelaide fans crap for it. But I'm not sure I could stay in that environment with a MFC shirt on.

    True, I mean fire in the belly sort of stuff.

      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.

      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.
