Stinear still coaching the same as 2 years ago. Stop the handball and short kicks.!!! The girls can kick far enough today. 

Doggies last week and Pies today just play long direct football. We play short sideways garbage that is so laborious. 

 

Under pressure, only Hanks and Paxman and possibly Lily M & Kate H can reliably execute skill.  Pies seemingly have a strong blend of girls who can kick well and with distance.   Of our defenders, no one can really hit a target in comparison to Collingwood.  This needs to be a focus for 2022 recruitment. 
Quite a few quiet girls today, Heath, Paxy, Mithen and Parry has been unsighted since her 3 goals against North. Zanker and Bannan need to do something in the second half.  Low expectations, there was little to enthuse and Pies are playing so well.

 

What gets me is the decision making. It is really poor.

 

Wow a goal after 4 behinds. We could have been right back in this.

1.6. 12 to 4.4 28.

 

Well, that was a better quarter.  McNamara stood out.  A proper little fighter there for sure.

But the shots... the shots...

 

Into the wind 3 goals are highly unlikely. 

Again our kicking was poor. Make no mistake the filth were asleep that quarter.


Geez Macnamara fought hard that quarter. Great defensive pressure on that far forward flank

Why couldn't we play like that in the first half (goalkicking notwithstanding)?

Bloody Cunningham just before the siren, your a full forward, you mark and go back for a shot.  Thats your only job!

This performance was pathetic. The worst we’ve played ever in AFLW. There is a lack of skill and class at both ends of the ground. The midfield is weak. It’s pretty sad to see how this team has deteriorated. 


Oh for... yeah, not good enough.  The moment we try to be cautious we bugger it up.

We have a lot of players out there who are a lot better than this and I've lost confidence in Stinear.

Low confidence, poor skills and little game awareness in the majority of this group.

Daisy has been terrible and was last week too. Playing her in defence is wrong too. Midfield or nowhere.

Same old forward entry and delivery Faults  and goal kicking mistakes.
 

Missing Petrevski after 2 games no scouters !!


I think it is now time to realise that the coach just isn't up to it. This short kicking and handballing game will not work against a decent opponent.

Appears to me that we are a bit soft. Dogs roughed us up and now pies and we can't handle it. Every team now will go at us hard and look for us to roll over which is happening here and last week.

Looked like grown women playing girls today. Cunningham too much difference between best and worst, need a full forward who's a lot more dynamic.

This was Mick's big gamble and 5 th or 6 th shouldn't save him after 5 years of forward frustration. 

 

You can’t have your captain shanking kicks. She needs to handball more coz it rips the momentum apart
 

2 goals 18 carrying on from last week. Pathetic. The pies almost stopped in The 3rd and we still couldn’t score 

When you do the basics right, you give yourself a chance.  When you don't, you give yourself no chance.  That just about sums it up.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
