    Im very critical of Goodwin but this is purely about our midfielders not working hard enough. Oliver and Brayshaw need to lift a lot.

    Playing Melksham in the midfield falls on Goodwin. Playing Baker also. Goodwin cannot go out there and play himself though, so the players largely have to take most the brunt. However, Goodwin hasn’t helped us much today. 

    Why would you replace Viney when a soft outside player who can’t kick? Why not keep Gus and Ed on the wings and bring in Sparrow or Hunt as a direct replacement? Utter arrogance. 
    Brown will take a while to warm up. He looks totally out of touch and misjudging the ball.

    One of the most frustrating things about being a Melbourne supporter is that we give the football watching world legitimate reasons to ridicule us. This is why. It’s not crazy to say we’re the only club who consistently offers up these opportunities. Unless we come out with something perhaps even more extraordinary, we ARE going to lose this game, and it COMPLETELY negates any argument that we are flag contenders. We simply can’t be.

    Baker is not AFL standard.

    Melksham awful.

    Gawn has been dominated by Goldstein.

    Oliver and Trac need to get a hold of the midfield. 

    McDonald missing.

    North not missing a kick.

    I'm already walking to my car. [censored] frauds.

     

    I feel we lost it as soon as it wasn’t relocating to Marvel. We can’t play on this ground. Full stop.

    Baker should never play a game again.

    Hibberd to cunnington. Kozzie in the middle, petracca fwd

     

    I'd like to at least see that

     

    Cunnington getting 400 possessions every time we play them is infuriating

    Hibberds getting taught a lesson down back. 

    They are out working us, pure and simple. Every time it hits the deck they are outnumbering us. They have been able to get heaps of uncontested possessions, just like teams traditionally have against us. They aren’t going anywhere, and this is going to be a massive scrap to try and get out of here with the points. So filthy.

    Maxy just Taps it straight to the opposition , no wonder we are losing clearance

    Did you just see tomilson with his mobile phone in the change room??? Could be issues later in the week

    FFS...should know better. Can understand he was upset but should know better. On the positive even a suspension wouldnt affect him.

    Air could easily go out of the entire season if we can’t turn this around...

    Could have been the authorised one. 
     

    Is this game going to be a bit like Keating’s “recession we had to have”?

    Just so soft and untrustworthy. 

    I thought at worst North might drag us down to their level before we eventually imposed ourselves, similar to the hwaks game. But the truth is North are playing us off the park. They are ahead on merit and we don;t deserve anything out of this game from here. The only hope we have is if North choke but i can't see it happening. 

    Max is having his worst game ever with plenty of others not far behind. Trac the only one who has fronted up. Credit to him. Fritsch and Kozzie have done ok as well. the rest have been deplorable.

    Never completely place your trust in Melbourne. Not now. Not ever.

    I still think we’ll win but Jesus we need about ten players to pull their finger out to pull this off.

    It's people like you that are the problem. 'I still think we'll win'. Its a mindset like that that put us in this position to begin with. No idea which game you're watching but we're getting hammered all over the park.

    Anyone else want to talk up Melksham?? He does not go anywhere near hard enough.Spargo has no tricks as I have said for a long time

    No excuse , perfect conditions

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
