The thing that I hate is that there seems to be no connection between the players, do something good, handball or kick and then stuff it up.

 

AFL app stats saying Viney out for the game.  

If it’s concussion again our medicos should all pack up and head off now

well that all turned to [censored], viney, brayshaw, oliver 21 possessions combined. what's going on?

Yes. In spite of all our other shortcomings, this is where it's falling apart. Their midfield is well on top, so we have little drive.

trac does so much good stuff and then just won't do the basic and KICK THE FLAMIN' GOAL!!

Disagree. Hes got the smarts but execution always problematic. Will be a B grader at best for career.

In the warm  up he just tried smart alec round the corner shots. Missed all of them

I query if he's serios immature or just dumb. Maybe all 3

If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

and that's what worries me about this game and the last 3 or 4.... not much reason for hope in 2020 with this gameplan

Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

Cripps has quickly overtaken him unfortunately.

Our basket case side is 3 points up. How is this possible ? Improve by a couple of % and we might win. The saints are no good either.

That’s an error. Been saying that since the start of the game. They haven’t edited the previous weeks stats properly.

Oliver was tracking at the same level for age. Never been better than him surely?

Rubbish. Probably 2nd in our B & F atm.

Our most reliable kick is having a mare.

Yep. Can't wait for the circle (rhymes with) work to begin. How [censored] good are we!!!

Brayshaw, Viney, Oliver and Jones all having ordinary games. I'm actually starting to cringe when Jones is about to kick the footy. I know his foot skills have never been fantastic but they are horrid tonight. Does Brayshaw even look interested?

A contant revolving door lineup does that to you. e.g. the forward line we have out there looks nothing like the one we had just a month ago.

Also due to injuries and having to play fringe players, including in key positions.

Jones is rated as one of our best kicks this year. Don't know if that says he's harshly done by or shows how terrible our other players are.


I am waiting for the 6 day break with travel to kick in. Maybe it has already.

Looking for positives Frost a plus so far. Except for 2 brain fades he has been dynamic in a very pedestrian team effort so far.

Lever has been excellent.

that's a coaching issue... and let's face it.. our guy ain't top drawer

No it's not. It's for Oliver to work out how to overcome it. Goodwin can't get in his brain and tell him how to shake off a tagger. Oliver isn't the first player to get tagged and he won't be the last. Good players work there way through it. 

On Frost you get the good the bad and the ugly with him.

Lever continuing to improve too, and have liked Corey Wagner's intent.

You need another player to be free'd up to pick up the slack, And then the opposition has to make a decision. We lack another elite midfielder.

 

Here comes M-M-M-M-M-embrey!

  • 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.

    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.
