It’s funni when u look at it the saints and Brisbane are 2 and zip and we are zip and 2. 

Who would have thought that was going to happen at the beginning of the season. 

Hopefully it turns around sooner rather than later. This lack of form just may work in our favour in that it will build resilience amoungst the playing group. 

Well that’s what I’m hoping for anyway.

    And we'll have to trade layers into our list.  The draft will take too long.

    We'll need a running winger.  The boy from Freo perhaps ?  Langdon?

    I don't think this is the right way of proving all the tipsters wrong. Apart from Malthouse, of course, who didn't pick Melbourne to make the eight. Who wants to hear his smug ' I told you so ' at the end of the year? Grrrrr...

    Those who are entrusted to oversee ...need to investigate change. Not necessarily wholesale ...but certainly incremental.

    What we're doing together with whom we're doing it with ... well....it just ain't working.

    Round 2 last year. How did Port, Suns, North and Adelaide go for the reminder of the year? Also, what about those 16th placed Pies and the 12th placed Tigers?

    Funny how quickly people forget stuff like that. I remember a collingwood mate of mine saying after round two that he thought Bucks was gone!

    So I guess your saying don’t panic, we got this ?

    Depressing stuff.  Until it happens this club cannot be trusted.  Supporters who have lived their life with this club know a lot about trust.

    Pick 1- Matthew Rowell.  

    Do we need to rebuild? Serious question our midfield is good but bombs it our forward is a disgrace our backline is even worse.

    Does Jones need to retire?

    Are we talking too early?

    Who should we be targeting?

    B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER

    HB: HIBBERD, ? , SALEM

    C : HARMES, OLIVER, ?

    HF: ?, ?, ?

    F: MELKSHAM, T.MCDONALD, ?

    FOLL: GAWN, VINEY, BRAYSHAW

    There are 5 undefeated sides in the league and we're the only one to have played two of them.

    Not sure if chicken or egg, but still.

    And we were still able to generate an absolute bucketload of inside 50s against the Cats, which says that we're headed in the right direction in terms of how we want to play the game.  We just need the connection between the mids and forwards to catch up.

    It's been that way since the start of 2018.

    'We just' makes it sound simple.

    It's a worrying trend and I can't see any positive change in any part of our game post the prelim final as of yet.

    How else should I phrase it?  I'm not trying to make the work we need to put into changing it as something that's simple.  But it's simple to see what the problem is.

    You don't need to over analyse and pick apart everything I post, mate.  I think we're on the same page, as most are on here, as to what the problems are right now.

    Best post in the last 36 hours.  It’s delivery into the forward 50. Smart footy.  We created more chances.  Our conversion was disgraceful.

    It's only part of the problem.

    It's the plan, it's implementing the plan, it's where the forwards lead to, it's creating space, it's the quality of the forwards.

    Not just delivery...that's the tip of the iceberg.

    I’ll fix the tip right now. But yes the forwards don’t seem smart enough to create space. 

    Watched the Bulldogs last quarter and they kept the hotspot 25 metres out vacant.  It was the “hole” and the hawks failed to realise 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.

    • 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.
