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: 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.
