How long are going to play Picket hoping he produces something?

I think he has tremendous talent, but he is too easily brushed away when tackling. MUst learn that at his size.

It's a tricky one. You want to get games into him but, on current output alone, you'd do just as well (imo) giving Toby Bedford a go

he'll definitely be a good player

just not now.......needs a rest


Bit harsh on Lever he was our second best player.

I reckon his size might be a concern for his whole career, he's definitely got some tricks but is often too early through traffic before the real heat comes.

He might win us a game with a flash of brilliance, but it will be 1 in 10 or worse

Give him a breather and give Bedford a run now.

Petracca - coach killing him

Brayshaw - one way footballer

Oliver - talent not maximised

Fritsch - reliably erratic again

Hibberd - replace with Rivers

Lever - not what purchased

May - value for money

McDonald - plateaued at average

Weideman - doesn't deliver consistently

Langdon - good opposition exposed

Tomlinson - good depth player

Melksham - absolutely no leadership

Pickett - man love today

Lockhart - worth persisting with

Viney, VDB, Harmes - same, same, same

Hannan - swap for Bevo

Spargo - doesn't kill opposition

Sparrow - development progressing slowly

Preuss - very disappointing performance

Salem - disappointing under pressure

Coaches - absolutely no imagination

Head coach - Put on Jobseeker

Bevo - Melbourne should get

I am sorry ,he is a delegator. Steven May is the lynchpin of our backline. Lockart is the improver

The problem with our defence is the lack of pressure & presence of our smallr fowds , who ällowed"Footdcray to move the ball down the ground at will. Players like Daniel & Liberatore set people like Bont, MCrae & Smith up in moving the ball down the ground with the least resistance BECAUSE they choose the right options (and are given time to do so).

Hibbo. Trade or gone

Fritsch. Can he kick

Tommy. We must delist

Harmes. His a tagger

Spargo. He must go

Tomlinson. Get rid off

Salem. Soft as @#$+

Melksum. We must trade

Vander. Must be gone

Jones. Hang them up

I thought Tomlinson could hold his head high today.  Ditto Lever. Our midfield was deplorable for the bulk of the game.  Viney gave his usual wholehearted effort but to limited effect.  Petracca and Oliver might as well have not played for all the influence they had (and I am a fan of both). You could throw Brayshaw into that as well. The forward half pressure was non existent.  Harmes is just a shadow. And our relatively simple shots that we missed just meant at no stage could we put effective score board pressure on. Much more than three words I know.  Goodwin  was given a lesson in how to adjust during a game.  Beveridge completely outcoached him.


Viney, Vanders, Langdon, May all tried their guts out. 
harsh on vineys disposal as he was being tackled most times he was kicking. Viney was the one leading the way in the midfield with aggression, tackling and pressure. If only others followed 

Spargo a poor game with 2 rippers in the bank. Fritta was good today with 8 marks.

Weid is good but canr seem to maintain his intent for 4 qrtrs.

Hannan, Harmes and Tmac have had their day it seems.

Pickett is just starting out so needs more time.

Back to the drwaing board.

To be fair to Goody who would want this bloody iob.

Edited by leave it to deever

Not sure Pickett has stuck a tackle all year. Plus you have to more than look dangerous to play AFL.

They would be lining up for his job and his salary. The coaching industry is decimated.

So much of what Goody could do is some frank talking of things to never do again.

Petracca if I ever see you handball over your head again you wont play next week.  That would be a real learning.

Viney would be a great Rugby player as he tries to beat tackle after tackle after tackle. I'll say it again Fritsch is soft and a very unreliable kick for goal/

Pickett just ran around in circles. A waste of space.  Interesting to see if one of our posters gives him a vote today. "I always give Kossi a vote."

Fritsch is a skinny lad. Playing as a main fwd when he shouldn’t be. Regularly marked by blokes 15kgs heavier and he flies for marks with zero concern for his safety. He is naturally an outside player so won’t be at the bottom of packs. 
soft is harsh

I think Fritsch is probably getting away with a lot more than he should due to his couple of goals each week.

He’s getting a fair few looks at it, but is very selective as to when he has a crack.

Fritsch and Melksham give zero defensive pressure and neither are consistent enough to demand the respect of their opponent. 
 

Forward line is still an issue and will be for as long as Melksham gets an armchair ride

  • 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.
