This 100%.

They made this blue a few times last year. They need to review their selection policies.

But will they.

Given known issues with certain players

Given the condition of any players recovering from a procedural hospital stay ( including a general )

Given relative match fitness of some

Given matchups known or ( intelligently ) presumed 

Given form going into the game you might have thought a better team sheet ..you might !!

I wonder what they'll f up going into Kittyland.

    I'll say it again. This mob who purport to run the AFL along with their jackals,  Fox, MRP and the soapbox media, together with several maggots, NOT including Razor and the GF group have got it in for the MFC.

    What,  you didn't enjoy CEO Gillon McLachlan sitting in the box Saturday night cheering for the Bulldogs with those Hollywood clowns?

    I can’t believe what Jordan Lewis just said on 360.

    He basically inferred that there wasn’t enough effort from the players on Saturday.

    How can you go into a new season, round one after playing finals the previous year and being fancied as a real premiership chance and not give any effort in round one???

    Im dumbfounded.

    Ill never understand what goes through these blokes heads.

    So we compounded the problem of taking in players with low preparations by taking in one Ruckman who spent 3 days in hospital and was under the weather from GA . Sounds we blew the game at the selection table.

    but what is the alternative?  play Pruess, not match fit or in form

    play Jordon, Keilty, Stretch instead of Viney, Jones?

    I think they picked the best team available.

    How match fit exactly was Max days out from hospital having had a general ?

    dunno, possibly 80%.  

    still better than a unfit/out of form Preuss

    I find it hard to believe that Keilty or Stretch would have contributed less than Viney and Jones as for Pruess he played in the Casey game and it would seem held his own in a winning team.

    If Gawn was less than 100% as his performance showed why not play a second Ruckman seemed to work ok for the Power. 

    The simple fact is we picked half fit players and paid the ultimate price I.e. A loss

    That same attitude was applied to Jack Trengove.  and that payed of for him, and us.

    You're correct. You don't know.

    Neither do I.

    I did however observe he was absolutely f'd at QTR time.

    Thanks Max...but.....

    Preuss held his own.

    Logic.. something lacking at Melbourne apparently... would suggest easing Max's load with our only other a grade ruck.

    Unfit..a no no ?  ..oh

    Hello Jones..Hello Viney..hello Tmac !

    A shout out to Trac also...sack of spuds FFS.

    We still aren't a smart club.

    Much pain ahead of this anything to gauge by.

    Its not necessarily that. It's that our experienced players were terrible. Their young players were the cream unlike us where we were relying on young players to do the job. 

    Jones, Viney, Gawn, Hibberd, Jetta et al were well down on form. Frost & OMac were disgraceful

    Viney hasn't played 100 games yet. Gawn just played his 100th game. Frost has played 70, OMac 63.

    That's the point I'm making: our key players aren't in the same age/experience bracket as Port's (or most other good sides').

    You're not wrong about the actual experienced players being poor though (Jones and Jetta were terrible, Hibberd did a lot of good things but his kicking was atrocious). But we weren't looking to Jones and Jetta to drive any improvement, we were looking to Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Gawn, Salem, Harmes and Petracca and, of those, Gawn is the only 100-game player (with the weekend being the 100th game).

    Our 2018 shows that this isn't the be all and end all. These players, despite their age/inexperience, can get the job done. But I believe it is important for us to keep our list demographic at the forefront of our minds when we look at performances such as this one.

    • 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.
