Need more from Spargo and Pickett, much better quarter though.

Goody should be in their ears at HT, telling them to put the first half behind them and concentrate on manic pressure than posies this half.

VDB needs to start hitting bodies hard, give us some more presence around the ground

 

I think after today’s game it’s time to rest Pickett and bring in Bennell to play small forward. Pickett doesn’t give us enough.

    Is Tracca being tagged? Need a big second half from him.

    I can't see the game today and just saw the stats esp midfield . Can someone please explain how on earth we are ahead?????

    1 Steven May.

    2. When we do get it on the turn or a clear stoppage win we look likely to score.

    The club should putting orders in for 2021?

    Hunter has to be stopped. I think Jones would have had the job on him today. Maybe give Sparrow that role and just tell him not to move off Hunter.

    Clear improvement that quarter. The ball spent far more time in our forward half and we were developing more scoring chains.

    But we're still not playing all that well. Missing kicks, tackles not sticking, and their best players are getting too much of the ball.

    Beveridge in his HT interview was scathing of English. They've clearly put a lot of effort into the ruck and stoppages, whether it's the tactic of using Dunkley or how they shark Preuss.

    Once the clearances evened up that quarter, we comfortably had their measure. Dogs have an elite midfield so have to break even in this second half. In the arcs, Melbourne is clearly superior.

    He was very close to two crumbing goals in the first quarter.

    I feel like so much of Pickett is "very close". Every game he looks like he might erupt but never seems to happen.

    Not sure Bennell can play that role. Speed and defensive pressure regrettably not Bennell's strong suits so far this year.

    I can't stress just how bad Tmac is 

    We simply can't play him next week

    I don't care who it is as long as it's not him

    Tmac is done - the coaches have to see it surely 

    He has trouble one-grab marking, field kicking (set shots are good), very slow, wide turning circle, not a natural tackler, his handpassing is far from elite and his ruck work is average.  I hope he is not soaking up too much of our salary cap.

    I think Tmac is playing a really good team game. He is providing a contest all over the groun d as well as holding his own in the ruck. So be fair.

    This goig to be a context between how effective Viney is cf Liberatore. Viney is at last breaking out of packs rather than running in circles. AN extremely tight contest.

    He's not far away. Will be back for the Freo game, potentially the Swans one.

    He has to hit the scoreboard when the opportunities come up. He had two chances early and muffed them both

    • 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.
