Writing is on the wall. Our heads have dropped and we are going to sleep yet again.

Saints will know they have us beaten despite being behind at half time.

That last 10 mins was So Melbourne.

Disgusting.

    Our backline saves this team. May Hibberd Salem even Lever probably filthy some of the goals and entries teams get against us.

    Jones you been learning form Tomlinson you bloody donkey. Offs I cant stand this club. we are the worst side for giving away goals in the last two minutes. Useless

    I've been saying that for years. We give away goals in the last minute of most quarters. Its unforgivable. Costs us many games. We have some real talent at our club. But we have a coaching staff who selects absolute spuds, players who cannot kick and execute. As someone who knows the game, I find it completely baffling. We pay the price. Even as fans we hurt.

     

    Sorry Jones it's been great but you are done. You're meant to be a leader but I can guarantee that 21 seconds has cost us the game. [censored] off!!!!

    Typical [censored] Melbourne. 

    Fail to once again slow the game down at Red time.

    You’d think we would work on that. Learn to execute a shut down structure with 5 minutes left in quarters. But that requires two things we don’t have, disciplined players and good coaching. 


    I was ready to talk us up for that first half.

    The slower game style was working really well.  We were taking our chances and we had the game on our terms.

    Then they pay a soft free against Viney and we go to water.  Jones turns it over, then we fail to kill a contest a minute later and it brings them right back into the game.

    We are right in it, though.  Good time to get inside and reset.

    Now they shut us down the last part of that quarter, work it out Goodwin and make the adjustments

    Geez, we are p15s weak. Don't deserve to win.

     

    All that hard work gone to chit. 

    WTF was Jones thinking???

    If Goody's position wasn't precarious enough, that last 10 mins was a coach killer!

    Viney 4 disposals so far in the game, Brayshaw 4 disposals and Oliver 0 disposal that quarter. 

    Pull ya [censored] finger out lads!

    We dominated the first half of the second quarter for one goal.

    Then we lapsed and let them back in.

    But even then, 47 seconds to go and we had a 14 point lead. And Jones had a free kick. His decision to kick across goal was abysmal. Coach-killing, abysmal football.

    We opened the door and then Jones welcomed them straight through it.

    Too many good players down, again: Viney 4, Brayshaw 4, Oliver 7, Petracca 8.

    And just like that it's a 2pt ballgame. FFS. Can easily see a 10 goal loss brewing here.

    Yes, that was bad by Jones, but Goodwin should be giving our big gun centre square crew an earful. Besides Petracca’s 2 goals, we need a big lift from our 4 primary mids.

    Big positive is our ability to shut down their run, so that must continue.

    We totally took their one game away from them and then Jones kicks across goal, in between two Demons, goal and completely swings the momentum. 

    The play before that, we have them totally covered and Jack Viney clumsily hits Phillips above the neck, soft, but free kick. Goal.

    That was terrible by Jones.  He cost us big time.  If he cleared it, we go in more than two goals up.  We now go in two points up.  His kick to Clarry in the middle also was 5 m too long, and cost us a goal.

    Need more from Oliver Trac was quiet that quarter

    Nothing from Pickett Hannan Spargo VandenBerg and turnovers everywhere. Yep. It’s all going to plan.

    Players are the ones who need to make the adjustments.

    Consider the last three goals.  One was given up from a free kick.  Then Jones turns it over.  And finally we cough up a centre clearance for a goal.

    The players are the ones who need to get their heads back in the game.

    Yes. And it's vintage because we persist with vintage losers like Jones.

    Our midfield is just ****house. Our defense covers for so many of their mistakes. Just no synergy or strategy to anything the midfield does.

    Yet again cannot tempo control a lead.

    • 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.
