GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Bulldogs

That quarter summed up in the last 10 seconds. Hannan free in the 50, Weiderman turns around and kicks it straight to a dogs player. 

 

The big takeaway from that term is the pressure in our forward half.  We had no problems getting it in there, however our efforts once it hit the deck, and then the willingness to run defensively, was shocking.  No other way to put it.  No excuse for it either.

They made a few changes, like English up forward permanently, and it's changed their approach entirely.  

Obviously the game is over but I'm interested to see the response in this last term.

 

When other teams get clearances against us, they waltz it out.

And the defence from our forwards has been disgusting.

Hate to make excuses but they are getting every lucky bounce and rebound possible

Nothing to do with luck. They are making their own luck but winning the ball, spreading hard, attacking contests. We are standing still. We have made no moves to stop their most damaging players. Goodwin is so happy to drop Jetta and let Harmes and Melksham stink it up for weeks on end. 
Pickett has given us nothing and keeps getting rewarded. This season is just another waste of time. 


Embarrassing and potentially season destroying quarter against a team who isn't even that good.

False sense of security from 3 wins against trash.

That's where we are at.

Also, Trengove speaks incredibly slowly ?

    We are no good under real pressure.

    It happens time and time again

    Reminds me of the Collingwood game of 2017.

    When stakes are high and the opportunity is right in front of us to grab, we simply fail.

    What a disgraceful absence of leadership both on and off the field. 


    Nope, kick the first goal of the quarter and it'll be on.

    Shocking quarter, but keep at it Dees.

    Melksham giving away a putrid 50 is all I'll remember from this game.

    I jusr wanna seem some spirit. Oliver 9 touches ffs


    Our team defence was absolutely destroyed that quarter. Our back 6 have been good all game. What does that tell you....?

    That in a head to head between coaches and game styles we just got out scored by 6 goals in a short quarter, and didn’t respond.

    Please can Goodwin go. He’s simply got no plan B, and isn’t creative.

    Bevo: Sets the theme of the game, has the players up and about, makes moves that give them huge momentum.

    Goody: Corporate speak and crossed arms.

    Our set up from the start of this game was terrible and it hasn’t changed. We can’t fix the centre taps, the clearances, nor around the ground, they kick out with such ease I’m sure they aren’t even trying anymore.

    As soon we we were put under any pressure all our mids go back to trying to win the same ball and leave them the outlets. They have just shown why we still need 2-3 good runners on the outside. Still had chances that quarter but Melksham, Fritsch and Sparrow unable to take them. Lets see if we drop our heads or have a crack still in the last.

    this quarter

    This is a genuine finals team, rested, healthy.

    This is the real Melbourne.

    Sorry, folks.

    Agree beat two crap teams and Pies who were cooked. Dogs have loose players everywhere. We are bottom 8 at best. Good team don’t have goalless qtrs


    If the dogs have extras down back you either have to kick it deep to the pockets or hit up short targets. So many of the dogs attacks began from kicks to the danger zone, 30 metres out dead infront.

    Never mind, our last quarter fitness is sure to save us !!!!

    Watch us eek out a stalemate in the last. Boys must’ve thought it’d just happen, like it did the last 3 games

    yep. Hilarious 

    Another season wasted in one shocking qtr of footy.

    Well it was good to see the boys dig in and show some fight when things started going against us.

    This group is exactly what we know they are...not bad when things are going ok and [censored] terrible when put under some pressure.

    Failed test. Did not deserve finals after Port debacle and proved today that we are nowhere near up to it anyway.

    • 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.

      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.
