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: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
