Ok 16 point lead. We can do this. They are 2 down and on the bench and thompson looked proppy as well. We kicked a bit better. 

Come on boys bring it home!

Can we win a single centre clearance ?

To be fair we are getting demolished in the ruck which we are very confused about clearly. We are used to losing clearances when we have a dominant ruckman. It’s all too hard.

They're down on the bench aren't they?

They're at least one down (Bonar), possibly two (Anderson).

They're also fatiguing, coming off a 4 day break, but so are we.

Our fitness, and our 1 or 2 more players on the bench, should see us run the game out better.

But we must keep our midfield effort up, cannot let them waltz from centre clearances, and must convert when going inside.

They are 2nd guessing themselves in the middle. They need a summer of stoppage work to maximise Gawn and what looks like LJs tap work

 

Dogga, Kossie, Weid and especially Trac are killing it. Spargo a surprise. Keep it up Dees bury them.

Should be a comfortable victory, but we all know this will be a last minute heartbreak or victory that takes another 5 years off our lives

    All things that all teams strive to do all the time.

    We're playing with 20.

    Jones and TMac are giving us absolute donuts.

    Barring a massive last quarter, neither should hold their spots. 

    The Roos stink. We should be 6+ goals up.

    The only saving grace to not being 6+ goals up is that we hopefully won't slack off in the fourth and keep working hard. When our work rate is up, the ball spends most of the time in our forward half and North struggle to score.

    Loving Oliver and Petracca's work. And Spargo is doing well.

    Slightly harsh on Tom Mac.  I'm no fan, and think he should go back out when Gawn returns, but he worked his way into the game as has 10 touches to go with 5 tackles.  He normally wouldn't lay 5 tackles in a month of games.  He certainly hasn't been our worst.

    This is a shocking watch save for the Trac and Oliver show 

    Dont watch it then.

    We did better on the scoreboard that term, but we aren't home.  We need to put the foot down like last week.

    However, I think we are showing better signs going forward.  We are taking more right options which is resulting in us hitting players on the lead, something we weren't doing enough of earlier in the season.

    But last term coming up but I'm backing us in to see it through.

    I just dont understand our continual kicking into the forward pockets.

    The number of times we've had players leading front and centre 40 out and we'll ignore them and go to the boundary.


    Massive last quarter coming here, big first goal coming. 

    It’s starting to come together, but we should be 5 goals clear by now.

    Much better coming out of our D50.

    COME ON BOYS!!!!

    They're fundamentals and we have flagged in those areas a bit today.

    The tackling is essential. He keeps fumbling it and giving it back to the Roos.

    IMO, he's been terrible.

    Zxradio commentators haven't mentioned umpires but saying Melbourne just the better side, but not saying much

    When did we last get a free for holding?

    First free of the game was a holding free to Oliver. At that point the umpires said ' Okay, our job is done we've paid a free to Melbourne. We don't have to pay them any more frees. " And so it has panned out. 

    The umpires have to be kidding surely!!!

    • 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.
