101 disposals to us 57.

That is a serious joke. Do we not want the footy?

When the pressure is on we fail to stand up.

Petracca the only one standing up.

Goodwin has [censored] this game up by playing Gawn against Adelaide.

Laughable.

10 free kicks to 3

 

I try hard to not be an umpire whinger, but [censored] hell, that was an absolute disgrace.

One thing we need to do is to get our hands on the footy.  I think we are using it quite well in transition - they have had 101 disposals to our 57, but it doesn't feel like that.  But we need to do more around the ground and to take more of our chances.  That will take the umpires and their BS out of the contest.


1 hitout for the entire quarter. Wow.

Why the hell did they bring in T Mac instead of  Preuss

And why are we being slaughtered by the umps AGAIN

Actually, one good thing about getting Crucified early is the Umpires are true to one rule

Operation Evenerupper kicks in at the second half!  AFL policy to react on the run!

    These umpires are shocking. Petracca gets held onto in our 50, nothing. Goldsetin just runs thorugh the protected space, nothing. 

    In saying that we haven't helpe dourselves. any chance of manning up these nth players. They are just allowed to get free and how about we stick a tackle. God twice we let goldstein get out of one. 

    Also how about kicking goals. Petracca is at the  level where he should be nailing those. 

     

    This is why I would've dropped AVB for being a dumb kent last week. And taking stupid [censored] seriously. Nonetheless, Goodwin looks the other way, picks him again, and unsurprisingly he costs us another goal this week with our season on the line.

    Umpire 31 has not paid us a free in 5 quarters so far. Disgrace.

    oh wow.

    I don't usually go "off" players, but Harmes is really testing that. The opposite of a smart footballer, whatever that is.

    As per much of last week, Harmes was an utter disgrace that quarter.

    On the whole, really poor tackling efforts. 

    Fritsch and Melksham numerous poor efforts and our kicking for goal is VFA standard. Petracca back to not being able to take set shots.

    We're totally still in the game, but a better side would have blown us off the park in that quarter.

    Our defence was setting up really nicely, but poor ball use going inside and an inability to convert simple, simple shots (Fritsch, Petracca and Kozzie) really hurt us.

    And despite what Healy said, McDonald's refusal to use Langdon on the outside and instead kick it to the advantage of the North defender, was a terrible decision and cost us a scoring opportunity from a clean clearance. 

    Already a shocking decision to play McDonald. As slow as my old man.

    10 free kicks to 3

    And Oliver got 1 of our 3 from opening bounce


    As I said Tomlinson is not a defender. All 3 roos goals are on 100% on him.

    Imagine the crap omac would be getting if he gave away three goals and was being thrashed by a kid.

    Where is Goodwin's head at?

    Umpiring is terrible but something is wrong with us. I'm getting tired of hearing every week how bad the umpiring is we need to look at why this is happening and look within as well. I refuse to believe every umpiring group we have has it in for us.

    Same umpires as crows game same umpiring. 9-1 first quarter now 10-2 .

    Frees should rarely be equal, I don’t care of to so 10-3 against is if they were fair, just call what you see and but it has to be fair and consistent for both sides. 
     

    We get crucified 2 weeks in a row.

    All we need is a bit of composure and will win this by 10+ goals North are not that good.

    Goodwin out coached already, can he see that they’re playing keepings off

    Man up!!!

    We're -44 in possessions, -11 CPs, -29, -2 clearances.

    But we're +2 in inside 50s and equal on scoring shots.

    It's one positive from the quarter - we are using the ball very well on transition, and taking marks and pressuring quite well inside 50.  If we can even up those stats above then we'll be fine, as long as we take our chances of course.

    Clearly playing thru Tomlinson. No idea why we are playing him at FB. Not ideal.

    • 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.
