    Yep. Doesn’t look good. Maybe a scratch to the cornea? God that would hurt so much ?

    Well we are still a stupid team with no skills. 

    I mean, seriously.

    If we could hit targets properly we would be in front.  We get it to the wing and then either miss the target or [censored] fart around with it and turn it over.  Horribly frustrating to watch.

    You can see we are trying to change things up, but as it always is with us, skills and turnovers kill us.  I'd like to think we can fix it up but with a slippery ball it makes us look even worse.  Plus you get that sick feeling in your stomach when they get it off half back, turn inside and they have runners everywhere.

    Great chase down by Vanders.  He needs to find another gear other than chasing / pressure though.  Lets hope its coming...albeit maybe gradually.

    If he gets there he's a VG asset / bonus

    GC were a 3-4 goal better team that quarter. We look completely uninspired. There's no identity to what we do. GC have a clear goal and they are bullying us.


    So many stupid turnovers and fumbles that are turning what should be uncontested possessions into losing contested possessions

    We look like we are at least trying to compose ourselves. Langdon playing well. We look better with Oscar down back and lever looks to be more free has taken a few intercept marks

    First quarter of "trying to adjust our pace". We should have been doing it for years but assuming it was a real focus this week, it hasn't been bad. They still need to work out when to run and when to pause. But it's a good start.

    We can't kick, can't handball and sure as [censored] can't mark. What an awful football team

    The minute we turn it over they are all over us like a fat kid on cake. Everyone has worked out how to play us. Pressure. Force the turnover (or do nothing and watch us fluff a kick). Run hard the other way. Score.

    Harmes can't even bounce the ball and then fumbles when we are out. Lever can't defend Weller. Gawn's stupid punch. We only have ourselves to blame. We are a bottom 2 side unfortunately.

    Not enough really skilled players, especially once it gets forward of the centre. Breaking down on turnovers.

    Plenty of GC pressure only adding to this.

    Also zero composure. Again.

    Yep ?

    Everytime they do this idiotic hot potato hand passing or throw it on the boot we lose it

    GC goals so far have been a bit flakey though 

    Chaos football suited our level of footy IQ. Unfortunately other teams have worked ou how to counter that style and exposed us as having more than our fair share of dumb as dog doodoo players.

    Real shame T-mac copping that whack. He was providing a good presence up the ground.

    Disagree.  In fact, I reckon we were the slightly better side... except for the turnovers which killed us.  If we cut those down by half we would be two goals in front.

    Thats mostly team structure and playing to it.  There's a mid or two who are getting sucked out either too wide or too forward instead of guarding the corridor a little more*.  *Amatures best assessment from the bleaches without seeing behind goal footage.  Could also be an [censored] up assessment.

    Better with Weidemen, Jetta and Bennell out there.

    Eye hope TMAC is OK.

    The other disappointing stat are the tackles.  While it's been a more open game, having just eight for the term is pretty poor.  I think our general pressure is okay, but we need to stick some more.

    • 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.
