what the hell is oscar doing out there, he is a joke as a ruckman. lever if his is not kicking to our opponents his crashing the pack taking out our own players without getting the ball out of bounds. Jones, well what can you say about nothing. turnovers are killing us again and again, when will they learn

Regardless of anything else, bottom handful are under where they need to be. Melksham (OK, coming back from injury), but Dunkley, Baker, JKH not giving enough and/or turning the ball over.

I reckon JHK has done more than Gus, Jones and Oliver today to be honest. 

Melksham clearly not ready for AFL. Gawn looks like he’s done with this rabble of a team for the season and now poor Oscar has to have his confidence destroyed further by rucking against Grundy. 

I’m slow roasting a pork belly this afternoon.

Jeez the filth are an ordinary team but we are just pure [censored]. Where is Track this quarter?

In the forward line. Where the ball hasn’t been. 

Dont you even think about start laying into him.


 

His kicking turnovers have nothing to do with up field turnovers. For exame hs kick to Grundy came after he had marked the ball. Had all the time in the world and still miskicked. Poor technique.

Maybe I am being a bit tough on him. But Lever is our highest paid player and he is being killed by mioeck and his kicking is a real issue.

Cant defend 

Cant score

Good to see we are consistent, boys deserve some credit for that

Don't disagree - but for whatever reason, he's often a really poor decision maker once he gets it.

Don't disagree, he's not the only one. Oliver kicked it out on the fall from a free kick with no pressure. And he's going to be on a hell of a lot more money than Lever in a year or two.

Agreed, doesn't really have a 'show me the money' look about it does it.


For a brief moment I thought OMAC was going to take the backup ruck job, then it all went pear shaped. 

Goodwin should head to the Genius Bar in the offseason and trade in OMAC for an iMac and design a new gameplan for 2020 success.

We were set up for the switch too. He is supposed to be looking for that, instead kicked straight down  to Grundy leading to a Pies goal.

You pick up only on his turnovers. 

I don't get it. 

Yes, he most definitely needs to tidy up his kicking at times but think about how many goals or opportunities at goal he has saved by either making a genuine killer spoil, intercept marking or out-bodying his opponent to mark. 

Lever has been very very good this game aside from a few kicking blunders.

You obviously missed where he turned the ball over and cost us a goal. JKH no future at all

Can’t beleive we payed 2 first rounders for Lever. Is constantly in no mans land.

I feel alot more comfortable with Hore rather than Lever as our third tall.  This said you don't play someone like Lever in the VFL for more than a week or two and will be better for the run.

Could be having a semi-retirement up at Surfers Paradise for a few years...

 

 

Quite a fascinating  reverse of fortunes

1st qtr. We actually  looked half way decen as we controlled the ball...couldn't  kick for [censored] but hey. Still ...looked much better.  But interestingly still a single paced qtr.

2nd qtr Filth worked out how to break our wall...just up the tempo and work rate and our dubious fragile skills all fall apart.  Filth vary the tempo a little finding theirway through and we start fluffing and fumbling like schoolkids again.

Very few of our lot have good vision. Talj about putting your mates under the gun !!

Need to make some moves now. .or over red rover.

On the plus side Omac actually looked decent up forward...in the first quarter.

0 tackles for Jones in the last 2 matches. Not going to win when our captain is producing [censored] like that. Completely in self preservation mode.

0 pressure whatsoever, whoever is on Jones knows he isn’t at risk of being caught.

And only 2 tackles from the last five games.

Bit harsh on Oscar. He has been serviceable. TRac  disappeared that quarter  because Hibberd Viney and Lever are stuffing up "the connectivity"

In fact Oscar has been competitive in Fwd line. Provides a bigger target. He will be handy as backup swingman.

Lever seems only good when he ia by himself , not a strong 1 on 1 . Hibberd has lost pace and confidence. JKH, Wagner both compeitive and committed.

Yeh. About as good as Gus's handball to that invisible guy we have playing...

Unfortunately the first thing I thought when he kicked it.

And our forward line is brimming with talent atm is it?

We would be as close to par with the current Pies forward line as you are ever likely to see in this team's generation coach and they blew us away in 20 minutes of bog ordinary footy.

If you wish to delude yourself that everything will be fine because a year date will change on a calender that is your prerogative.

Oscar into the ruck and HF?  What  possible benefit / message is that sending the rest of the playing group?

I know what i would be thinking.

Maybe we should rename ourselves the Melbourne Excuses?  How about the DumbAzzes?  The Rabbles?

I wonder if max has a hand/wrist injury

Never seen a player get so many life lines like OMac. Could take your pick at any VFL player and they would perform better. It’s utterly bizarre

  • 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.
