We're a long way off a really good basic football team. Our fundamentals are deplorable at times." Max Gawn speaks on Melbourne's nightmare season

Wellย at least he just tells it as it is.ย

Saints had good players out too. You are talking schoolyard stuff and not looking at the issues

And you obviously arenโ€™t interested in statistical fact, which is precisely what I was presenting. Yes, weโ€™re playing badly, and itโ€™s f***ing horrible to watch, but your juvenile response does nothing to rebut thatย our performance reflectย the facts as they are. ย

I woud have kept playing Preuss with strict instruction to run run run. Get him match conditioned this year.

You saw his leg last week yeah? Add that to his already horrible tank and that 'run run run' would last about 8 minutes.

Plenty of time for running during the week.

So the fact that we have had the most players unavailable week to week of any club this season, and up to round 12 (it could be still) of any club in the AFL EVER means nothing to you over-reactive clowns?ย The single most reliable stat to predict a clubโ€™s ladder position is playersย unavailable week to week, thus through a season. Not speculation or supposition....this is fact. Nobody wants to talk about it because it takes the art discussion out of the game. We are where we are becauseย week to weekย we haveย been playing with a decimated list. Brisbane are 2nd for the opposite reason.ย 

Rubbish.

Look at Richmond. Number 1 defender - out. Number 1 forward out. Number 1 ruckman - out. Yet, they still remain competitive.

Why? Becuase they have a solid foundation and are well drilled.

Dont put this inept performance (performances really) down to injury.

I actually think Viney has been playing like this for a while. He developed a reputation as a tough-as-nails player but that doesn't mean he has to dive into packs without thinking through what he wants to do.

His 'dive' is more artful now than his footballing skills, the [censored].

Champion Data also over-rated the list. According to Channel 7 we were to ranked at the start of the season.

Lots of explaining all round

If anyone needed any reminding not to place any credence in Champion Data's rankings, take note now

Wow. You guys just donโ€™t get it. Read carefully.....total games unavailable fromย the WHOLEย list haveย a near toย linear relationship to ladder position acrossย a season. Itโ€™s NOT my opinion, itโ€™s a stat, a fact, not a theory.ย

ย Anyway Im going to cheer myself up and go to you tube and look at highlights from the 2 final victories last year. Just remind myself that we were a good team and we actually put geelong and the hawks out of the finals and I wasn't dreaming it.ย 

You'll also see due to our terrible skills we made hard forken work of both those games.

Good of him to say, but we can all see that as plain as day.

What's important is the rectification. There's been absolutely nothing in response to the ineptitude.

This time last year were were siting 6th having just beaten adelaide. Oh how things change. Back to reality.ย 

By the way we play richmond next week. I'm already scared of the result.ย 

Pretty obvious we need to run through another anti-online bullying banner.

Too many B graders, and with our bookends out in TMac and May we just are not cutting the mustard.

Whatever floats your boat. Go and join the old ducks that used to clap the boys off after the hidings we used to get week in/week out.

You can spin stats any way you want. We were putrid. End of story.

Injuries or not - what we're all watching is disgusting football.ย 

I would love to see winning football by a team that is so injured it simply can't carry it out. Instead, we get a team that has no plan with or without the ball.

Of course it wouldn't. Another stupid decision by the match panel. Who would care if we lost whilst getting games into Dunkley, Lockhart, the 2 ruck system in Preuss.

Tonight was just dumb, as a professional football club this was a fail. Lewis, Wagners, OMac. Even Smith who isn't the future. No club in the current environment would've made these selection decisions.

Lewis i get for onย field coaching and can play half a match or soย with some impact and decent finish / decision making.

The two wags give some sort of contest for a half.

Smith & Omac should not be playing vs Pruess & anyone for Oscar who has height and a bit of speed off the mark & athleticism.

Coaching panel is clueless at selection and maintaining cohesion / faith with those who are likely to be around next year vs those that wont (shouldn't!).

Culture.

ย 

We are faarkedย just likeย the Melbourne building and recycling industry.

Not even the slimmest chance of recruiting Brad Hill now surely. i can't see any injection of outside pace having much effect if they're not skilled players as Ed Langdon is said to not be. We could use another elite midfielder to pick up the slack for when Clarry is tagged. You'd throw the kitchen sink at Coniglio but he wouldnt touch us with a 10 foot pole.

  • 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 Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"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 Collingwoodโ€™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.ย

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
