Sorry but Weid just doesn't like the pressure when kicking with a deficit.  STILL a downhill skier.  When the going gets tough his kicking goes to water.

    No composure in the 50.

    Bennell just cost us two goals. Inexcusable. 

    Maybe his calf is hurting 


    Being outclassed here.

    To be fair if Brisbane don’t win the flag this year they never will. They are being handed it through time and circumstance.

    Half our side can’t go at this level though. We are a middling side.

    We’ve kicked ourselves out of the game, every one of Weids kicks were very gettable. Bennell should’ve nailed his. We kick half of those and it’s a goal in it. 

    Our own worst enemies, hard to watch when that happens.

    Gerrard Healy is one of the most insufferable people to listen to, I could list a dozen examples but it’s just constant.

    Weideman kicks those 3 very gettable goals and it’s game on. Him and Bennell just inexcusable. You can’t be a professional player and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and kick the ball like that.

    Brisbane ruck grabs it in the ruck, takes on a player, tackled, no clean disposal. Play on.

    Jetta has his head ripped off, gets a handball off, "Holding the ball".

    Healey: "And Jetta ducks his head again."

    I'm done.

    Yep, Brisbane ruck Definitely  holding ball not paid!

    Its not the umpires - we are slow of brain and foot...Bennell misses from 15 Cameron slots it from 40. Nuff said....

    Same story. creating some chances but lacking Polish.

    The frustrating thing about this game is that despite the dreadful umpiring, the easy shots missed and continual errors on our behalf, we should be right there with them. Instead 3 goals down which is a really rough ask against Brisbane, in the wet, at home, when they are playing well

    Just do not understand that 'dangerous tackle' decision????

    We're done

    Weid misses 3, Bennell misses a sitter, Kozzie misses a snap from 20 out directly in front...

    Ffs?‍♂️

    Don't forget the Langdon set shot from 40 out directly Infront 

    We should have won the first quarter by 1-2 goals and that quarter by 2-3 goals. But we're 3 goals down and the game is probably gone (only one side all year has come back from a 3QT deficit and that was pre-COVID).

    We haven't been disgraced and IMO our defensive setup has again stood up well: the two goals we conceded that quarter were from a Jetta brainfade (he's had an absolute shocker IMO) and a throw in a stoppage following Bennell's horrible miss.

    Too many what ifs (Weideman's 0.3, Bennell's miss, Pickett failing to pass to Langdon, Jetta's free against, etc.) to win a game against a top 4 side.

    Love a please explain on the kossie dangerous tackle. 

    Not going to happen, Melbourne have always been gutless in questioning the AFL about shocking umpiring. ?

    jetta is ducking his head at every contest

    Yes he is a G.Healy is right in saying its going to be back for his health if he get hit like that.  Mate fractured his neck doing that playing AFL right in front of m; 9 months of recovery .. 


     

    Somebody will need to teach me the rules of this game because I don’t understand half the free kicks that are, and aren’t, paid.

    some consistency in what is a 15m kick would be nice too.

    Umpires doing their best to kill just about any joy I had left for the game I used to love. AFL you have almost killed Australian Rules Football. Disgraceful.

    • 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.
