Viney has played only 68% game time.  I expect him to play a bit more in this last term.

We've got it all to do, but we can do it.  I'm backing us in.

    Hunt looking like the player of old.

    Great signs

    The 6.6.6. rule should help jHunt,  and maybe Frost...  and should suit stretch.

    Why we think we can play weid in the ruck and Petracca on the ball is beyond me.

    As I said before the game, if we win we win ugly.

    no consistency.... 3 goals in three minutes and two behinds for the rest of the quarter.

    Simply no midfield pressure


    We have just not been good enough.

    Cannot wait for May to displace Frost from the backline.

    I think we've got this, but it's going to be ugly.

    I reckon we'll kick a few quick ones to start though...

    disappointing effort that quarter. so many players not in the game at all. need to life big time to win this against a pretty ordinary team in port.

    Why would viney kick to Spargo in a one on one

    When he was standing behind his man. 

    Gee looking at our huddle the number of players sitting down haunching over. 

    We need a massive final quarter from everyone. It feels like we are 4 goals behind but its only 8. Come on Melbourne scrap it out

     


    Won’t make finals playing like this never mind flags. Concede the four points today and look at switching things around. Stupid move bringing in Preuss if he wasn’t going to be played, bad mistake from coaching panel

    How many times will TMac and Weidemam get caught jumping at the same ball? Infuriating. 

    Viney calling for it from Salem, then turning it over to give them a goal, was appalling leadership IMO. 

    Geez led like to know the individual tackle count. Not enough Grunt.

    Back to the bruise free stuff.

    Bit better that quarter I suppose but we’ll down. Their kick ins isolate seem precise and to plan and we have a number of midgets unable to match them in the air.

    omac is not an afl player

    Really struggles.  He has been exposed again as not good enough.

    Cameron Mooney’s comments about the Port 3 qtr time comment interesting.  “Melbournes forwards don’t defend well”  Enough said,

    From the AFL website:

    Superior ball use allowed Port Adelaide to continue to dominate on the outside in the third term. The Power recorded 11 more effective kicks and 25 more uncontested possessions.

    We look absolutely knackered. It's like Port is playing in different conditions. I know some of our boys are a little underdone with game time, but it's not a great look.

    Gotta suck in the big ones this QTR and do what a top 4 team would do/needs to do - take our 4 points.

     

    Leaders really need to stand up this qtr.

     

    Cmon Dees.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
