Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us.

    Fritsch better be taking set shots every single day in the off season.

    How F’ing typical to crap in our own nest. Poor by Baker to not keep his feet. Why is Smith out there?

    Because the coach & some peanuts on this site love him.


    Warning signs already some really dumb footy played there despite early dominance and should have 4 on the board, not 1.4!

    I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

    Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

    Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

    Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

    I may be recalling incorrectly, but he seemed to perform better alongside Jackson.

    Classic MFC. Dominate a qtr fail to convert chances give up last second goal

    Exactly. Dumb footballers.  Dumb coach 

    We are playing all over Essendon.

    We can't finish some really good passages of play.

    The last handball in the chain being unnecessary and error riddled, is absolutely killing us.

    Poor disposal again. Poor leadership again. Missed set shots again. Fritsch the main culprit again.

    Where can the improvement come from to take us from a mid-table side to a top 4 side?

    Goodwin trying to play a game plan that he hasn’t recruited, or trained for.

    We don’t have the skills for this (because the coach insisted on contested ball beasts) and we proved it all quarter.

    Cant wait for 22 more games of this next year.

    Absolutely pathetic to leave nobody at home, so if we get the ball at half back there's nothing to kick to.

    Can't stand it.

    And the constant bombing in.  Who was Petracca even kicking to?  How can this still be happening week after week? LOWER YOUR F*@KING EYES!   Show me an All Australian that kicks like that.

    That and Fritsch's predictable kicking for goal. Boring.

    I'd bet my house that if a tally was done of last-minute-of-quarter goals against over the last few years, we would be miles ahead of the rest of the competition.

    Honestly you could sit down and write the script for this. Talk about a tragedy in 4 acts.

    Sorry but even Shakespeare would struggle to get his head around this scenario.

    Terrible quarter in front of goal. 

     Own worst enemy. 

     Don’t deserve finals. 

    Our whole season summed up in 20 minutes.

    Poor kicking at goal.

    Poor decisions

     Yep and it sickens me. I'm gonna have to hit the Scotch hard so if i do spew I'll have a reason to.

    That would be an amazing stat.

    Smith on Danners does anyone see a problem

    • 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.

      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.
