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

Possibly  simply the difference  in pace and pressure of Bigboys v magoos. He just seems to undo a lot of reasonable work with half baked disposals.  A shame

    Lever has cost us 3 goals. Can't kick or play one on one.

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

    You don't have to, because in the total trade, we didn't.

    But carry on.

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

    Name one of his teammates who hasn’t done that this season.

    The pattern of starting Jones (as wing) and then having him shuffle across to CHB, whilst the HBF moves to between CHB and the centre circle is very pretty; doesn’t do any good of course.

    Similar to Stretch in that regard. I sometimes think (hope ...) that with these kinds of players it'll come with experience, but not the case so far with either of them.

     

    JKH been good in close, played well so far apart from that one bad turn over. If you want to write him off for a mistake like that send most of this team on their way as well.

    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’m as annoyed as you rusty about where we sit however your shotgun approach to the issue may not be as effective as you think in correcting the situation.

    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. 

    Yes he has done sone good tgings. As he should given his ability and paycheck.

    But a very, very good game?

    We must have different metrics for a defender. Has cost us 4 goals in s low scoring game we are down by 3 goals. 


    Endeavour was promising in the first quarter, although the goal kicking was the same rubbish. Then it went back to handpasses to no one, gifting the opposition easy marks, not holding tackles. Varcoe did nothing until that ball fell in his hands courtesy of a bad Melbourne kick. Poor umpiring as per usual. Grrrrrrrrr.....?

    someone give the Maggots a tape measure fff

    You need to watch more closely. 

    He most certainly hasn't cost us four. 

    Maybe concentrate on Oscar. Did you see his turning circle just then?

    Disgusting lack of pressure. I’m over watching us do the same [censored] every week. 

     

    This is just too tragic to keep watching. 

    I’m out.

    • 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.
