Our small forwards are a real issue

To me, that's the only thing that I've been disappointed with. I can handle the skills, fitness etc. at this time of the year. But our pressure when the ball his the deck hasn't been great, and for the game style we have it needs to be better. We bomb it in and if it isn't marked then we keep it in there and set up the wall. Hasn't happened nearly enough today, although you would expect it to improve when the real stuff begins.

I expect it to be good now. I hope it improves when the real stuff begins.

We are down to 2 on the bench compared to lions with 8 they should run this out fairly easy I would have thought

March 9, 20196 yr

5 of the last 6 goals. We've stopped again.

March 9, 20196 yr

how can may get a game round 1 on that display,always thought he was well over rated

March 9, 20196 yr

We don’t have any crumbing forwards, been saying it for ages.

March 9, 20196 yr

At least we are having the same issues we had for most of last season - too easy to run it out of our forward 50 resulting in easy scores the other way. So we know it can be fixed.

Stats - we score from 35% of I50, they score from almost 50%

That's what Spargo should be, but he refuses to play that role.

Hore is horrible

I think he’s ok. For a young kid he is quite composed. I like him.

Yep, not seeing much composure with him this game. Maybe he prefers it on the outside, as he seems to panic when there's congestion.

March 9, 20196 yr

nothing has changed ,same as 2017 good grief ,these players drink there own bath water

March 9, 20196 yr

Bath water stuff by Melbourne thank god it's jlt need to lift only Smith and Jetta have played well the rest have been ordinary to woeful.

March 9, 20196 yr

So many average players today.

Can't see Nibbler or Stretch getting a game Round 1.

It's a shame Garlett got injured. He's never been consistent, but he's the best small forward we've had this decade and can slot his 40 goals per year. Spargo is a smart footballer, but he just doesn't get involved enough either offensively or defensively. Kent is gone. Hannan is injured until second half of the year. JKH likely injured for a while too. Hopefully Bedford comes on quickly, as it's definitely an area we're lacking in.

Hore has been horrible today. Don't expect to see him play round 1 unless we are struggling with injuries.

March 9, 20196 yr

Really need Brayshaw to clean up his disposal efficiency. He gets a lot of it, but he needs to be cleaner.

March 9, 20196 yr

Players have been reading their own press. Time for Goodwin to put a media ban on some of these prima donas.

March 9, 20196 yr

Our boys look absolutely spent. Not many positives so far.

May has been ordinary.

AVB is hard as nails.

We cant take a grab inside 50.

No crumber near the goals.

Oliver has had a 'mare.

Backline needs a lot of time together to work seamlessly, but thankfully time is something we have.

We can still win (which wont mean much), but this team has a long way to go to make it to what it was at the end of last season.

Bears actually want to win.

Hipwood kicked 2 goals in a minute. May went to him and he hasn’t touched it since. What more do you want from a FB?

March 9, 20196 yr

without max today it would have been 20 goal hiding

AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond
AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

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.

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.

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.

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.
