Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

 

Pressure certainly dropped off in the last 6-7 minutes, but we are playing better footy than the last few weeks.  Some of the usual things are still there - the turnovers, the silly decisions - but we've also seen us play a little more consistently up to this point.

Allowing GC some easier goals, even the ones they pulled out of their rear end, hurts, but I'm happy to be in front and we should go on and win this.

    Why do our players try and take it from the oppositions hands when the ump is about to pay holding the ball!!!???

    Never wait on the umpires to pay our club a free kick.

    There should be a rule, if our midfielder have nothing on offer, hold onto the ball and draw players until there is something on offer. Just rushed players. If you're going to play chaos ball at least teach your players to hit targets and not just bomb.

    And draw the player for the overlap.  We rarely ever do this under SG now.  Used to early on in patches.

     

    Geez we look soft 

     

    Half time and we're in front, but could be playing sooo much better, they on the other hand gotten most of their goals cheaply. Clean up our act and that stops.

    Much harder said than done.


    Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

    I actually don't think we are. That's exactly what we have been dishing up. The opposition is just not the same quality.

    Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

    Because they don't pay it very often.

    Yes, but seriously, it's obvious the ump was about to pay it, there was the obligatory wait for 2-3 seconds that always indicates that a HTB is about to be paid. Otherwise the ump whistles a ball-up immediately

    Anyway, a small thing, but just annoying as it turns a free kick into a contested ball situation

    By periods you mean a large majority of the second quarter. Not a lot to show for our dominance. At one point GC had only 5 forward 50 entries for 2 goals. 

    Better game than the Coll Hawt v game. I reckon were doing alright. Amazing how tracs miss can turn a game around

    Melksham, Hannan and Picket in the forward line, all need to do more.

    Is he playing?

    he's being played as a forward / part time mid.  He's had one, maybe two, clean pieces of play (from mid field).  One was a lovely handball off the ground to a running Salem (i think).  Not much else and the else has been bog ordinary.

    Dirty day for Lockhart. 1 free kick against, 1one percenter, and 1 pressure act,  being his only stats.

    Its possible the one percenter and the pressure act were the same action.

    • 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.
