23 inside 50s for 1 goal?

Can we pull off a miracle?  If enough of us believe we might be able to fumble the ball down our end enough to kick a winning score.

 

Unless this is Melbourne's version of rope-a-dope I reckon we're in trouble.

 

3rd quarter

poor handballs to no one

putting ourselves under pressure 

missed tackles

fumbles

midfielders not getting into defensive transition 

Shocking skills by foot 

COULD BE 7-8 GOALS DOWN

LEARN TO CONTROL THE BALL OUT OF DEFENCE 


Too many dumb footballers on our list. Gawn included.

 

we must be on the peptides again.  we oughta be tested...   all of them.


Other than Maxy  ....No one is capable.of hitting a short medium target by foot coming out of defence.  ZERO control of the game through perpetual motion followed by turnover after turnover around mid field...

Chase chase chase trying to get it back...Rinse...repeat!

Weid dominating with 5 touches and no score. 

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

He can [censored] off with his 650k

Sick of Ling’s biased commentary. Is he in the Tigers Cheer Squad? I would love us to win just to shut him up.


Am I completely missing something? Honestly, the conditions are perfect and we're handing the ball like a cake of soap?

I still think this is completely winnable, we were ontop for large parts that qtr, need to hit targets coming out if defence, then take the risky kick with less pressure.

1.4 in 2 quarters of football. 

In the 2nd and 3rd quarters the last 2 weeks, we've kicked 1.7.

1.7 in 4 quarters of football.

I tell you what WB, I bloody admire your optimism.

Most glaring issue this year is our inability to kick to advantage.. it is incredible. If it were 3 Dees to 1 tig, we would turn it over


We are shambles. Completely dropped off in the clearances and our backline went to water under the relentless pressure. 

We are in real trouble. We have not kicked a decent score once this year and we don’t look like coming close to it. 

We are lucky they missed a few shots. But regardless this game looks over unless we start finding some avenues to goal. 

McDonald has to go forward this quarter... no point trying to reduce a loss

I must admit, that was the most frustrating quarter of footy I've seen for a while.  That includes some of the stuff we've served up this year.

At least our defence has worked itself out it seems.  Just need the rest to jump on board.

Here's a stat...first four goals from 8 inside 50's. We have scored one goal from the next 23.

poor across the midfield...  we need to take marks inside the square,  move the ball thru there as we attack.

Fritz is playing like he doesn't want to have the ball in his hands. He hands it off straight away to whoever is near him. Doesn't matter if it's a Melbourne player under pressure or a Richmond player or the ground. He doesn't take ownership of the ball and look for the best option. What's going on with that?

  • 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.

  • 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.
