I thought Charlie's tackling was fantastic. Isn't that what we want our players to do? We are always yelling 'tackle them!' 

If Martin or Dangerfield do it they are praised no end. What is going on. Does Melbourne play in some sort of AFL parallel universe?

IMO the players we need to be pushing up the ground more are Hannan and Melksham. Hannan's a good mark and helps with our scoring chains when he gets up the ground. Melksham's kicking is vital to breaking down good zones.

Spargo and Pickett (and players who come in to play that smaller role) I'm happy to see stay a bit deeper, both feeding off the contests created by Weideman/Brown/Gawn/etc. and pressuring their ball carriers in our forward 50.

Either way, we need more from our forwards as it's not sustainable to rely on Petracca dominance like last night.

Long term I'm reasonably confident that Kozzie & LJ will provide some answers but we still need a KPF and a good defensive forward if we're going to challenge. 

Weideman is developing ok and I haven't given up on T-Mac just yet.  Brown is back up.

Fritsch & Melksham can both be much better but it is up to both of them to get the best out of themselves. 

Playing forward these days means playing in crowded situations a lot of the time.  So it isn't easy but we need to find the right mix.

Meanwhile,  the make up of the midfield and backline are more than adequate.  Not perfect but both areas aren't of great concern.

The centre circle is a 10 metre diameter for reference.

Quite a bit od parallax there - would add another 50% = 15 meters.

Still, can't expect a maggot to understand that, especially when no doubt instructed to add a bit to reverse kicks in the dying stages of games.

I still feel that 'no mark' for backwards kicks would move the game on and stop some of these negative tactics.

 

A lot of discussion about Jack Viney missing the team song but what about Brown not being in the middle of the team circle. It was Brown’s first win at the Dees and he should have been showered with Gatorade. Who is responsible for this ongoing mess... do we need to introduce a roll call? It is Goody’s fault? Surely this must be sorted out if we are going to play finals!

Harmes was dropped and Goody didn’t even speak to him, Viney held onto a poo for the whole last quarter and missed the song now we have Brown not being showered in Gatorade. Clubs a mess.

The first thing you mentioned is an issue if it's true.

The Number 2 issue is a load of [censored]

The third one is not such a big deal for a veteran/journeyman.

I was serious about the poo. You could see him clenching as he was running, it was more of a shuffle really.

Might have explained Viney’s lack of run in the last quarter. He seemed to be grimacing as he walked off the ground.

I know you think he might be Joking but Ethan has severe Asperger' syndrome.

C'mon we've all been there. Think of it as a bonding experience, something all can relate to.

Teachers use to tell me I had Aspergers, I always thought they were calling me an AssBurger though. 

Currently watching the replay (qtr time). It didn't look good in the first 5 mins. Butler & Hill finding space and Membrey getting off the leash. 2 elements of fortune in Petracca's 2 goals. The actual infringement for the free kick was about 55m out but the umpire had the guy on the mark at 51m. The holding the ball against Zac Jones that led to Petracca's second goal was pretty stiff. It's was nice to be able to capitalize on a bit of good fortune

BOG ROLL VOTES:
Harmes #1
Viney #2
Brown #3 (honorable mention for number 2 due to the colour in his surname)...

That's nothing.

My reports were always full of F's ,Ds's and C's . Which I thought was shorthand.

Was involved in a heavy clash within the last minute of the siren.

Heard that the club’s dietician has been questioned over Viney’s diet. Some doubt that Viney will play against the Swans. Will need to pass a test before being passed fit to play.

  3. Richmond - 4-1
  4. West Coast - 4-1

  • 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

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
