This is what happens when you dont recruit speed over the summer.

    Its the first game of the season and we look done.

    I don't think it has anything to do with speed, dazzle.  It's more to do with workrate.  Lots of commentary around how we're coming off stuffed, while Port come off looking fresh and ready to roll.  At the moment we don't have the legs to run with them, speed or not.  That's a worrying sign.

    [censored] pathetic Melbourne! Nothing has changed over the summer!

    We are so slow and have gone into survival mode.

     

    Why is Viney playing if he can’t get around the ground? 3 touches and 1 tackle.

    Good composure from Wagner there.  

    And Trac kicking a set shot?  Is that a good sign?

    Wagner has been pretty good

    He has certainly shown that he could play more senior footy, and good senior footy, for us this year.

    their transition out of defense is destroying us. people say speed or lack thereof is our Achilles heal. It's not. The MCG is.

    sounds more like the problems of last year where for most of the season we pushed our zone too deep

    Getting bullied and killed on the outside by a bunch of [censored] kids!

    For how poor that second quarter was, outside of the last 5 minutes or so, we're still just 3 points down.  There is an absolute bucketload of improvement still to come from a variety of players, and a bake from Goody will surely rev them up a little.

    Their transition from defence has been terrific we we've generally had no answer for it.  We will need to find that answer quickly, otherwise we will find ourselves in a hole we can't dig ourselves out of.

    Salem has been excellent across half back, Fritsch is an absolute gun and Melksham is such a good player.

    We need Viney to life, Trac to get involved and to fire up as a whole for the second half.

    • 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.
