Well I did open the changes thread last week with the comment that we should not play Lever and Smith in the same backline.

I got howled down

Time to find an interest in another sport for the season

    Execution, execution, execution. That Oliver turnover in the last minutes summed it all up.

    Nothing to do with Goodwin or the coaches, nothing to do with the system, everything to do with the players' failure to be able to execute even simple kicks/handballs, yet alone under pressure.

    Petracca one of the few exceptions.

    I was rolling my eyes at Dermott pre match when he suggested we have a couple of stat padders in the middle.

    Watching Oliver... ?

    Goodwin banged on that Harley needed to work on his defensive pressure.

    Melksham 3 disposal 0 tackled

    Hunt 4 disposal 4 disposal 1 tackle..

    We are a garbage football club. Something is rotting at the football club. We have the talent on paper, but our coaching is a shambles.

    We can play when we choose to. It is frustrating as all heck.

    May and Hibberd huge in the second half. Hibberd might be a bit of a butcher but his efforts are crucial. 

    Petracca is a star. If Oliver wants to be one he needs to fix those kicks under no pressure and do it yesterday.

    We can play when the oppositions ruckman and 2 others are out of the game.

    For the  most part, the effort was there.

    But skills - appalling. No excuses. Especially for that late kick by Oliver. No pressure, 15 metre pass missing by 5 metres when we had all the momentum. Sums up our day actually. 

    So often over the last 20 years, our skills have murdered us.

    It's an actual talent to take Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw combined with Gawn and be useless.

     

    On paper that is the most talented starting midfield in the league, in practice on the other hand ?

    Finally Oliver Brayshaw and Viney are exposed.

    Footy is dead to me for 2020.

    MFC can’t select the right side. Can’t dispose of the footy. Terrible coaching. Low scoring. 

    We’ve had 2 years to correct this rubbish disposal.

    Only thing that would save the year for me is a new coach.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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 Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"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 Collingwood’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.

    • 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 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.
