AFLW: Rd 05 vs Collingwood

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

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
