Not the kids fault but why bring him in to play midfield when gus and harmes are already starving for them and playing out of position

Agree to an extent. but we never should have drafted him. But it is his fault when he handballs backwards 20 meters out from goal for no reason and misses the target, which he has done multiple times in the game.

 

Abysmal.

Absolutely abysmal.

It's the Richmond game, and everything that is wrong with our club, on repeat.

The turnovers are just soul destroying. Sparrow, Harmes, Salem, almost every single one of their touches is missing its target. We cannot compete with anyone, let alone Port, if we keep turning it over.

The forward line pressure is non-existent. 

The midfield got belted on the outside in the first quarter and then got beaten on the inside in the second quarter (-4 CPs that quarter).

The backline is trying to hold them out but they are getting so many looks at inside 50s under no pressure that it's impossible to defend.

We will lose this by at least 10 goals if we don't seriously lift in the middle and start hitting some [censored] targets.

    Fritsch, Salem, Oliver, Viney, McDonald, Harmes.

    Most overrated bunch of peanuts on our list.

    I’d remove Viney from that list the others I totally agree with.

    Didn't want Lyon for a coach,but would certainly take him now. Someones got to teach these players how to play.

    Nathan Jones encapsulates our club. Historic losers going to water under pressure . . . And accepting it. He can't play again. We have to move on. 

    We come off a couple of wins, looking sharp and confident. AvB breaks a cheek and of all the players to bring in facing the top 2 teams back to back.

    I predicted a 5 goal win. Nek minnit. Down by 5 goals at halftime.

    God what an embarrassing half of football.

    Im trying to think its the quick turnaround but its not. Its just us.

    Never should have picked Sparrow, should have always been Jordon.

    This is your [censored] test Goodwin.. make a change earn your money. We won't win but get us back in the fight. 

     

     

    Couldn’t agree more GCDee. 
     

    Get us out of this zone [censored] which is clearly not working and go man on man. 
     

    JUST DO SOMETHING FFS.

    Well said. What they dish up on and off the field is pure garbage and an absolute insult to fans and members. The club is a joke and goodwin has to go.


    Nope, we are not allowed to criticise Oliver. His kicking has been excellent and his hot potato handballs to the disadvantage of his team mates don't matter, cause it's still a stat and that's all that matters.

    I see Josh Mahoney in the coaches box and I wonder how he can keep his job. We are miles off being a professional team and he and Goodwin have had plenty of time to make us competitive.

    The list is not this bad. Something stinks.

    We have been absolutely shocking, but the umpires have shown us zero love. Tackles unrewarded, holding the man ignored, clear sliding in on legs given as high tackle, soft 50 penalty gifting them a goal (while Gawns gets ignored). I have to get that frustration out of the way.

    But we look flat as a tack, no one moving, when we get the ball in space we are slow to move it on. Our kicking efficiency must be about 30%, absolutely pathetic. Our overall disposal efficiency must be barely 50%, basic handballs are being missed, players slipping over. I just can't believe how bad we are playing.

    Lions was the game we needed to win to stay in the hunt, facing Port off a short break seems like too much.

    That’s terrifying. 9 years, 2 rebuilds and 3 coaches later and we’re still a bottom team getting spanked. Us Melbourne supporters must be the most loyal people on earth to put up with this much disappointment.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
