I’m going to play positive/negative

Positive: Rivers,      Negative: Smiths flying for all the marks

P: Petracca,        N: no leaders standing up when the heat is on

P: a win,        N: Goodwins ability to make moves in game

P: Bennell got through,        N: our continual wish to not run both ways

P: that Goodwin isn’t the right coach,       N: Goodwin is our coach

P: I hate Carlton and [censored] them!    

 

Went from attacking fast football to trying not to lose, what a disgrace 

 

How did we lose 3 quarters of football and still manage to win?

That was infuriating

Fritsch is a terrible set shot as I mentioned here during the COVID break.

Has kicked 1.6 to start the season. 
 

Really needs to work on his accuracy If he’s going to make it as a genuine player in this league.

Melksham needs a rocket in him or else he’ll be kicking off the dew Hibberd.

Another unsatisfying win.

Move him to half back.  Better player there.

Pick who does less on game day. 

McSpud brothers wouldn’t get a kick at local level.

Pathetic effort from an AFL team, barely competitive in the second half. 
They should be ashamed of that capitulation no matter the result. 
it’s going to be a long long year. 

Well, long mentally I assume you mean ?

COVID has done nothing to change the order of the world. The Dees can still fluff a lead and have you reaching for the life support.

Still I’d rather learn from a bad win than a narrow loss. 

Problem is we don’t seem like the sort of club that learns from their performances.

Today re-affirms Goodwin isn’t a match day coach. Our rolls-Royce list ran circles around Carlton at the start, as soon as Teague made some changes to mitigate our team, Goodwin didn’t do a thing to re-turn things around again and sat on his hands.


I can never sit down and enjoy watching my club.  I said to my wife after the first quarter watch them collapse now!  Hollow feeling, no confidence nor trust again.  

That was a relief. That was a disgraceful last quarter. Too conservative, too complacent. We are still mentally weak. Jones should retire. McDonald has to go down back and Smith forward. Gawn, Petracca and Oliver were fantastic.

Joel Smith  he won us the game what a great be player better than Oscar .......................I have come to my senses. 

Joel Smith PLEASEEEEEEE  go back to Basketball because you have no clue.. ............And the the one's that rate him you are only stirring that he can play.    I GET YOU NOW. You only sucked in yourselves.   WON'T PLAY NEXT WEEK  I AM CONFIDENT OF THAT OR ANY OTHER WEEK. I AM HOPING.

So help me G        d.     

I don't need to elaborate if you watched the game.

Lol, unreal return to the footy. 

Likes for now.....Bennell looked like he got through ok. Trac is just a beast, would’ve lost without him I think. Rivers although not the same type as Whelan just looked like he belonged immediately. Reminded me of Wrecker’s debut. He might even get some votes. Good to see Hunt amongst the goals.

Some of our boys looked dirty after the game

The game got summed up perfectly by the team song being done without the captain and having to start over.

If anyones happy with that yoire kidding yourself.  We have serious issues as long as goodwin is our coach 

Reckon I know at least one that's very happy. Doing laps of the living room on his scooter as we speak.

Have to be one of the worst wins ever. Reminded me of 10 years ago when as soon as the pressure came on we go into our shells. Where was our so called fitness, where did the tackling go after quarter time, so many questions not many answers. How many players faded out after first quarter, you could just go on and on. After that effort looks like last year was no aberration.

Our forward line is an absolute shambolic .  What use to be one of our great strengths has now been gutted and turned to [censored].

Melbourne don’t win that game without Petracca - Jason Dunstall on fox footy.

Hats off to Petracca on a magnificent performance. He’s approaching gun status.

That was infuriating

We only won on the scoreboard. Carlton were/are the better team. 

To go from 42 points up and on fire to meekly limping over the line is certainly cause for serious concern, but I'm gonna reserve judgement till after next week.

First game back after 13 weeks off in isolation and prior to that having played just one game in anger since last season isn't exactly a normal situation.

I'm gonna call it rust. Very bad rust

Personally, I think we owe Smith another game after what the club did to him last year.  He hasn't played in 18 months and will be better for the run.  Has clearly more upside than Omac.

None of the talls played well today.

 

I would really like Goodwin to get as upset as I was in that second half. 
he shows stuff all interest in a winning result, 

that second half was 2019 all over again bar the last minute or so. 
I will have no hair if this happens again

  • 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.

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
