Will be a spiteful final quarter!

 

Half the battle is turning up.

We have a pulse. Let's run over them.

on tv they look like they keep going over his head to space behind... either way lots of missed opportunities 

That’s exactly what happens when you run under it.

Not the difference but we're sure getting the rough end of the pineapple.

Yes

contribution, not attribution 

On the bright side, we no longer need to keep OMac just to keep Tmac happy anymore. They both can be dropped after this.

    Melksham having a mare

    They keep kicking it on his head when he’s playing on Hurley. Kick it out in front of him and he’ll gobble up. Bad coaching.

    Can someone shed light on who replaced Rawlings as defensive coach?

    Troy Chaplin, lol

     

    I want Petty! He was underwhelming at first run, but if given as many opportunities as Frost and Oscar he will win a Brownlow!!!!

    Ling said Chaplin and McCartney earlier


    We are useless against teams that have quick midfielders. Been schooled in the centre clearances.

    By God

    We are defensively inept.

    bloody hopeless against a [censored] footy team. season done. draw only gets much harder now.

    Petracca tried but melksham turned and wanted the over the top, resulted in an uncontested mark to hurly.

    Coach Goodwin has a lot to answer for with regards to the ease of all these goals. We’re making them look like world beaters. Just fix it up already!

    Jesus [censored], I thought to look up who our defensive coach is. Turns out it’s the one and only Troy Chaplin. Makes complete sense now.

     

    Probably played a part in spending pick 6 on May to

    7 goals from 12 inside 50s. This is a common stat under Goodwin. 

    And it’s not just a 2019 thing. We have been similar the whole time under Goodwin, but it’s only gone downhill.

    Yet again forward entries are useless and making it difficult on the players, that said they aren’t leading well and demanding the footy. Melksham is a shadow of his 2018 self right now, he should have 3-4 right now but it just isn’t working for him. 

    Our midfield is doing ok, but at both ends of the ground we are useless.

    This team doesn't fight back and win from these positions. Don't think it's happened once under Goodwin. 

    It'll either be a tussle, but we won't score.

    Or we will kick 5 goals from 20 inside 50s. And they'll kick 6 from 8.

    Bookmark it.

    Melbourne's talls are an abject failure. OMac, Frost, Weed,TMac...

    Gawn is the only one.

    Weid has played a role tonight albeit a bit of a one trick pony.  But he's there to kick goals and doing that from limited opportunities.

    Frost and Weid have only played a handful of games between them.  Frost was crappy in the 3rd term but ok prior.

    Omac is the biggest worry for mine.  After nearly 70 games he still looks like a fish out of water.  I would be bringing in a 90% fit May for him pronto as soon as he is fit and put in a propper pre-season.

    Tmac looks sooo slooow and under done without any power through the hips or legs.

    ANB was just ok in the first half but ordinary that quarter.

    I would bench Tmac (he's done for the night) and go with Lockhart and Weid up forward with Harmes / Hunt in there feeding off also.

    Send Clarry forward a little more also

    • 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.
