Effort is there, but GWS have brought their A game, and the pressure is forcing errors.

    They have one forward and he’s killing us. Sadly, we have no forwards.

    I don’t understand how opposition defenders are always to the ball before our forwards.

    Also, I don’t like the style we are playing.

    Sydney have show how to play with new rules, move the ball quickly with precision passing to an open forward line. 
     

    We are moving the ball so slowly and often to just a contest down the line.

    Tmac has not touched it. Cant afford to have him go back in his shell.

    Jones is doing as little as possible as well.

    Anb , trac and Kozzie working hard.

    I fotgot what an absolute shocker max is at kicking said shots.

    Clarry usually good but those 2 just prove we are on holidays here.

    If we dont get physical and make a statement next qrt. then its a long way to the finals.

    Win lose or draw, i expect 4 hours of goal kicking by at least 9 players , 6 days straight


    Here’s the thing, Giants are beating us by pure efficiency. We have the territory, we have been controlling much of the play but when it gets out they are using the ball so much better. 

    Clarry should’ve kicked one of his goals and we’ve had a number of forward entries that have gone to no one, while a couple of kicks that did go to someone get dropped or be a little short. Our poor kicking is catching up with us today. 

    Fritta completely unsighted.

    When you think warning signs, you think that quarter. 

    Ball spends heaps of time in our forward half but inefficiency and missed set shots mean we don’t capitalise. They break fast and score 6 times from 11 inside 50s. 

    I do not like the look of this. 

    Here is there chance to show what they’re made of.

    Need a goal kicking coach!

    Hold the ball steady to kick it sweetly.

    Bombing it into the forward area.

    Put Oliver in the bloody forwards line. 

    Yep, that’s the move...Petracca to full time midflield and Clarry forward

    Judging by the score I’m not missing much. Standard Melbourne performance when we’re favorites!

    For me, this is the difference between us and the serious contenders: Oliver had two straightforward shots on goal, Gawn one, Kozzie a fairly straightforward one - not a single goal from any of them. 

    On top of that kicking into the forward line. ANB misses Tom MacD by a metre, turnover, up the other end, goal.

    Lots of positives, but it's this inability to finish that costs us.

    What are the positives when you can’t kick or hit targets??? It’s been our Achilles heel for last 5 seasons yet nothing changes! Let’s see if the mfc we know has turned up once again. 

    Gee that was surprising that they came out hard and changed their style. Need to get some goals and put them back in their box. Oliver needs to get on the move to accentuate the holds and blocks. Just need to show some composure, get on their bikes defensively, play with some better spread and make some space in the forward 50.

    If he commands big dollars he has to nail those set shots.

    Same old same old. Should be killing this mob but we haven't turned up to play. Umpire's pet Greene getting everything. Sick of it already.

    I thought we got out coached that quarter, so it will be interesting to see the response. They don’t want to kick it long as we have Lever, May and Gawn behind the play.

    That was being more outplayed than outcoached. We had plenty of opportunities. Those misses are coach killers.

    At least twice TMac was very clearly blocked from the contest.

    Well done Jako! He's looking good so far.

    Still don't know why we lead to space to the flanks and pockets though.

      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.
