We are watching a team that is depressed and embarrassed about themselves

    Unwatchable is the word that comes to mind.

    Must be some positives there ... thought Lever is looking better each week, and showing why we got him, Lewis was good until injured, Brayshaw looking more like the player of last year, and didn't mind Spargo up the field a bit. He's one player who generally manages to do something with it and hit a target.

    Apart from that though, struggling.

    If that is correct BA then the contrast of output / quality is astonishing between quarters.

    Goody looks completely lost for answers in the box and shows no emotions at any point.  I would be furious at some of the passages of play as a team and from many individuals tonight. 

    Get to the bench an attempt to at least show them / highlight where they are going wrong immediately while the errors are still fresh and highlighting the alternative ways available to improve as a team and individual.

    He should be too embarrassed to go there and show to both the viewers just what a deer in the headlights looks like..

    Poor efforts all round but at the end of the day he has to cop his share of blame.

    You do realise , in a season of poor efforts and poor teams, this is the worst side we've fielded all year. what did you expect?

    That half has put the question about sacking Goodwin to bed. He simply has to be signed up for life. Wasn’t alive for the Norm Smith era but surely Gooody is the equal of, if not better!

    Yes, but hard to see what the alternatives were. And not helped by the players further up the ground not having the skills or vision to adjust how they deliver inside 50.

    Wow.  Haven't watched us intently for weeks because of how [censored] we are. 

    Turned it on tonight ten minutes into second quarter.  Same as usual.  Gawn dominating.  Frost busting his [censored].  Fritsch doing his best.  Petracca trying, but ultimately failing.  ANB being not good enough, scoreless quarter (happens all the time that one), zero clean chains of play, comical misfortune...yada yada yada...we all know the drill.

    As crap as I have ever seen us in recent times. 

    Decimated by injury, decimated by lack of confidence, decimated by lack of talent, decimated by coaching strategy, decimated by lack of crowd numbers and decimated by completely [censored] up a massive opportunity to shine when we had our chance this year.  I wasn't as bullish as others at the start of the year.  At worst 8-9 wins I thought.  At best 12-13. 

    But this [censored].?

    Hogan has not been sighted all game

    Yeah was waiting for it. So all the players we picked are shooting the lights out at Casey? No they aren't, yet they've been picked nonetheless. The options are Preuss and Keilty, obviously. Both massive busts this year (as are the ins we named anyway), yet either of these players would've kept some structure to the team.

    It really is a no-brainer that one of them had to play. For mine it's Preuss as there's more upside and a relief for Gawn. In fact, Gawn could've played forward and Preuss to ruck in a familiar role, which he is actually smashing at Casey.

    It does kind of look that way, it’s like their interest moves up and down throughout the game. But then the moment the ball gets out that’s where it all just drops and in their own mind they think “here we go again”. 

    But our players are just super lazy right now, I understand things really suck but how about a little bit of personal pride?

    Why were Stretch ...anb and spargo picked......10 touches bw them?

    Its not their poor performance but more the prediction of it.

    Gold, and probably more accurate than you might have hoped.

    our players are always looking for the easy out, instead of moving the ball quickly they are looking to switch or go sideways, often backwards. three or four kicks back and forth before we turn the ball over usually where we started or closer to their goal. they do not play as a team, they do not move away from each other to take their players away so as to open up territory for players down the field to run into. we are are rabble without a cause.

    I bet your around 90% accurate there. Its really a spin of the wheel of ****ty cliches at this point anyway.

    • 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.
