Went exactly how I thought.

Positives: Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney all looked way better than last week. Viney in particular. 

Still so many passengers, and we have no one to replace them. Very concerning.

    Our game style is shithouse. It’s like we’ve gone back to 2014 when Paul Roos was just starting to teach our players how to defend and they were running around like headless chooks.

    Stopped watching very early 2nd qtr, when it was apparent we were no better than last week.

     

    Ok, we know the talent is there, so what happened?

    Was it effort?

    Was it game plan?

    Was it literally "one of those nights"?

    Cant blame backline, no forward pressure no mid field pressure our year is done.  10 to 16th we will finish

    How can you say that when we had WAY more inside 50s than them. You’ve missed the point entirely.

    I spent $615 on a redlegs membership for a guaranteed grand final ticket. For what? Watching this crap? Our forward line and backline are a shambles and we are slow and can't use the ball properly. Only a handful of players putting in and that is only the start of our problems. 

    You fooled me once Melbourne you won't fool me again. Back to 3 game membership for me. What a disgrace this club is.

    How about me I just clocked up my 20th consecutive year in the Redlegs....

    I expected that this would be a comfortable loss but it’s the way this team lets everyone down that is just so depressing and predictable

    Over to you Goodwin, i am over it 

    What did you do over summer?, i know you refused to watch the Perth Final but Maybe, just maybe you should have watched it many times, and i mean all of it...

    You may have learnt about attitude....

    I agree.

    Are we in a different training program from other sides due to our high finish last year?

    I recall Horforn losing various pre-season/early games in their premiership years.

     

    maybe we are targeting a later "peak"

    maybe i'm, delusional.

    I agree re: the game style, LT.  It's a mess at the minute.  The stats suggest we are still doing some of the things that make us a good side, but our use going forward and the pressure in there is non-existent.  Not to mention the ease with which they run it out of there and the acres and acres of space they have.

    This is the biggest worry for me.

    These are the guys who we think are the future premiership core, and yet it's a copy and paste of our top 5 possession getters.

    Where does our improvement come from?

    Again, right now, it really isn't the problem.  The game plan is.  We bomb it, they get it and then run it down in space to score.  Rinse and repeat.

    The game plan appears to be - no game plan

    Just emphasise the lack of game plan #1, #2 etc

    Why did we always seem to be receiving the ball facing in the wrong direction, so having to turn and get tackled or just hack it forward to the opposition. Plenty of grit but no system. Too many players down on confidence Jones, Fritsch, OMac, Hibberd. Max going OK but not linking up well with Oliver who put in a blinder and Viney, so to no effect.

    You're probably right, although getting rolled by 80 points in Geelong wouldn't have been on the agenda.

    We need to change some things in a big way, and I'm already keen to see that response on Friday night.

  • Quote

    Forward line is stuffed, but there are massive problems in our midfield as well, which I think is worse.

    Choo choo get's a pass, but the way the rest of them play is yuck. They get the ball, move it forward to no advantage whatsoever, and make us trivia questions on biggest loss after "statistical" dominance.

    Trying to find positives right now, but it's bloody hard.

    • 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.
