GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs Geelong

We tackle alright but Port and now Geelong's absolute demolition of the contested ball is a major indictment on our development at this point. That to me is the major key. Yeah we have good handles in close and can contest to bring the ball down, but Port and Geelong seem to get a clear kick or run out from a contest almost every time.

Has holding the ball been erased from the rule book?

Only if the player who is caught holding the ball plays for Geelong

    FMD Petracca. Dropping a chest mark. 

    Just following his captains lead eh 

     

    So Disappointing for the club that they couldn't build on momentum of a prelim. We have gone backwards hard. Individuals and from a team style perspective.

     

    How did we so quickly from last year to this. We are currently bottom 4, and I suspect the dumbest, least competitive team on current form. It’s f***ing agony to watch. We are just third rate rubbish. 


    Petracca seriously struggling for form. He’s looking like a bust at pick 2. Imagine if we had De Goey up forward!

    Don’t be too quick for that. My boyfriend wants to go to bed now, but I still have faith that it isn’t over yet. 

    The rain might be in our favour later

     

    Lockhart and May good,

    Oliver , Viney  and Gawn better than last week .

    Jetta and Hibberd missing in action again.

    In line for a 40 plus point thumping.

    Other teams have improved where we have gone backwards 

    Working hard, but allowing them too much space, not skilful enough, and i50s are a disaster.  Did you see the Selwood duck and arm throw rewarded?  Sheesh

    tracc REALLY GOOD GRIEF IT AFL TAKE A CHEST MARK

    We are easy to beat. Goodwin got a new long term deal, he better come up with a way to make us competitive against teams that know how to nullify our contested game, and he better do it fast. 

    Salem on Ablett a total waste of the only player in our side who can hit a target.

    Actually he was hitting the contest well , should have had two goals assists but then fritch missed an easy shot

    Why are we playing 3 talls down back in these conditions?? 

    Why do all three of them feel the need to fly for every contest?

    take his option ,you can always watch the last qtr


    They fluked at least 3 of those goals. Theyre just going for it more and its come off so far.

    Will we ever learn to play wet weather?  Too cute -  knock ons and over possession.  

    Also  Jones is cooked - can’t keep his feet in a contest anymore -  goes to ground as he thinks he’ll be beaten for speed.    Jetta doesn’t look right and I’m certain melksham is playing with broken thumb.

    Jetta has been awful this year

    Yep. No pre season has hit him really hard. 

     

    We’ve lost our constested ball dominance from last year, that was the main area that we were able to win games. So far this year we’ve been terrible, I don’t know if it’s teams being able to better read Max or our contested ball winners have dropped off the pace but we need to get that back. 

    Also during the period in that quarter where we were in somewhat control we have reverted back to our long kick and hope into the forward line. A) it’s a slick night so we need to be smarter than that and B) lower the bloody eyes. 

    May must be shaking his head thinking he’d gone to a team where there wouldn’t be the ball down his area for most of the game. 

    Bloody terrible second half of the quarter, I hope Goodwin’s able to work some magic because right now we are bereft of it.

    • 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.

      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.
