Picket, a follow up question.

Do you still think our forward line is too small?

    • Haha 2
     

    Our defensive zone clearly holding up: each of OMac, Lever and May have taken intercept marks and ended scoring chains.

    Gawn utterly dominant. Petracca going to another level. Jackson looks markedly better than his first game. Bennell keeping involved. Pickett getting some reward for effort. Weideman competing in the air, so important for us. Midfield doing well at CPs and clearances.

    +20 CPs, +5 CMs, +4 marks inside 50, +5 clearances, +6 tackles (despite being +31 in disposals), and +18 inside 50s. Could argue we should be more than 5 goals in front but I'll take it.

    We can improve, still, on our inside 50s and we're still turning it over a bit through the middle, but compare our turnover rate today to the Richmond game.

    Great half Dees! At least our second best quarter of footy this year. Completely smashing the contested ball and running our butts off. Weid looks powerful, Jackson is impressing. Hannan looks fully back now and offers so much without the ball. Salem' s kicking is back, Petracca is a colossus and Gawn is just taking the pi55. It's just all coming together!

    Burgoyne is playing like the end has come.

    Love our tackling.Love the defensive pressure.

    Still too panicky in attack.

     

    This is one of the best performances I’ve seen in ages. I know it’s only hawthorn, but we’re all over them. Outmarking them, out hand balling them. Its usually happens to us.

    Great word. Don’t turn this into another Carlton game please.

    Geez this half time commentary is all about how bad the hawks are.

    Nothing about our hard running and pressure.

    Nice to see, even after a good quarter, we have supporters watching the game  for mistakes only and noting them down

    The main aim seems to be get it forward any way, trap it in, expect some scrubby kicks and handball, but follow up has been excellent

    Edited by Satyriconhome

    Lever in his HT interview mentioned that we have to keep playing to win, rather than playing to not lose. Surely thinking about the Carlton second half. Let's hope we've learned some lessons from that game.

    Like I said pre game the big problem with the hawks and cats game plan is if they fall behind by 3-4 goals the plan is useless

    If we can play like this for the 2nd half I’ll be wrapped. But being a melb supporter there is always a bit of anxiety about what we will do. 


    Weid just keep smashing those packs, bringing the smaller blokes into it.

    Great selections by Goodwin. Jackson’s mobility and marking has been great. 
    Kozzi is very comfortable at this level

    Yes, will be interesting to see how we come out after half time.

    Wipe the scoreboard and start again Dees.


    Would hope the players aren't getting ahead of themselves as we are! We coughed up a 42 point lead to Carlton and we know we're prone to goalless quarters and lapses in our play.

    Never give credit where credit is due. The mantra of the commentators who like to whip a lame horse.

    • 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.
