Lots of mistakes, but Hannan's decision to kick to the pocket in that last play was beyond stupid.

Would love to see what other options he had. If he had nothing, I'd have preferred him to wait for an option that wasn't on the boundary. 

Fritsch leading to the pocket on his wrong side isn't ideal.

    I'm shattered.  I'm worn out too, but shattered more than anything.

    I felt like we deserved to win that game.  Apart from the second term where Brisbane played some scintillating footy, I thought we were the better side for most of the night.  I thought after half time our midfielders lifted superbly and our back line was absolutely fantastic.  They kept us in the game when we really needed it.

    Viney was immense.  His ability to get out of traffic but weaving and fending off tacklers is sensational.  Oliver had another ripper game while Trac was fantastic yet again.  They are making a real difference for us.

    Again, our back line was excellent.  They are setting up really well down there.  Cameron kicked a couple but outside of that he barely got a sniff, while Hipwood and McStay had little influence on the game.

    Want to give a shout out to two players:

    Melksham first.  Kicked three and is showing why we have persevered with him up to this point.  In these conditions he can be a classy player and it showed.

    The second is for Jackson.  Tom Mac is going to find it hard to get back into the side with the kid playing the way he is.  Love his athleticism and you can see his confidence lifting.

    And the umps can suck a big, fat one.  They sucked all night.

    Onwards and upwards.  Go Dees.

    Oliver did not have a ripper game. Watch it again my friend. His disposal was atrocious in the first half.

    Great fight to get back in it and stay in the game when Brisbane were on top for QTR 2 and 3. 

    Umpires were gross, we lacked polish and composure but I am happy we didn't roll over and accept a 4 goal loss. 

    Goal kicking practise is needed this week!!

    So misses by Pickett, Harley Weed X 2, Harmes and Langdon is this game in a nutshell.

    Woof. What a missed opportunity. Jetta nearly cooked. Jones probably is as well.

    Imagine…three missed from Weid, 1 absolute sitter missed from Bennell. Fritsch should be dropped for McDonald on the basis of sheer Beavis-and-Butthead stupidity in the last 2 minutes.

    Jetta made some mistakes but did a pretty good job on Cameron who can be a match winner

    Well Fritta marked it, even if it was centimetres out, so it wasn't the worst choice.

    He could have gone back behind the mark and waited for players to run forward and at the very least look to lock it in there by kicking to the top of the square.

    Viney was brilliant tonight.

    Not far off it, but had the forwards done their jobs and kicked straight, the points would’ve been ours.

    28 touches, 10 tackles, 15 contested possies and 5 clearances.

    Might have missed a target or two in the conditions, but he worked his backside off for us all night.

    Ugh, we've had so many games stolen from us over the years, this would have been a nice steal for us.

    ... But instead, some fantastic work by Trac was wasted by garbage delivery from Hannan, and stupidity from Fritter - and unfortunately that's the sort of stuff that separates teams. In this case, funnily enough by less than a goal.

    Not a terrible game at all, but lacking overall execution and polish. Weid misses 3, Harley and Kozzie each with bad misses. Langdon should really get those. If even one of them converts, it's a different story, probably.

    Ah well, next time aye.

    Pickett is vastly overrated.

    bloody annoying but we matched it with the best

    I'm more annoyed we lost to Geelong looking back on it a few weeks back 

    We really lack 4 quarter efforts so that needs to be addressed ASAP

    Not totally his fault, dazzle.  Just went a moment too long as up till that point he held him up well.

    I'm more disappointed in some of the easy shots we missed.  As titan pointed out above, we could have won by 2-3 goals.

    Ironic that a few minutes early Zac Bailey went about 7 moments too long in giving the ball back and it wasn't called.

    • 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.
