So absolutely what we were worried about with our forward line is happening, our talls seem to be getting in each other’s way. Max needs to go back to protecting space if he’s there, allow Brown, Tommy, and Weid to get an easier look at it. The pack forming is just too much for a contested mark.

    Petracca needs to be a better team man. He’s trying to do far too much instead of giving first option.

    So Yze, you said they were going to make adjustments to get better at centre clearances. It hasn’t worked, we need to work it out.

    It's very apparent at the ground that our small forwards have been [censored] useless. The likes of Kozzie, Spargo and ANB need to lift.

    Trac playing like he thinks he's a world beater. No need to thrill us with every touch, just do the simple things.

    I’m loving the completely biased barracking against us from the commentary.

    ?

    The ABC Radio is worse with that guy that used to play for Carlton... McClure or however you spell his name

    Trac is filthy at himself. I sit near the bench and he was fuming when he came off in the first. Needs to do better.

    Defensively pretty solid. May Lever and Salem playing well

    TMac is best BOG. Where would we be without him.

    Weid ok for his first game. chandler struggling. Reckon i'd prefer an extra small to bring some pressure. Not locking it in there enough.

    Clearance work is a mess. Viney comes straight back in as soon as he's fit.

    Can someone please explain the umpiring to me?

    Sure, when it’s an obvious free, pay it the other way. When it’s clearly not a free, pay one anyway. When one side gets behind pay a free.  When you don’t want to pay a free against your favorite team, invent a new rule like ‘he tried to kick it’!!!

    Why is Gawn pushing forward with the three big guys we already have there???

     

    Elementary game day error. Clearly not necessary. All it does is clog up the forward line and create uncertainty. Either coach's instructions or Big Max is a little slow in working out where to position himself with this re-jigged forward line. Another issue hopefully to be addressed at half-time.


    Chandler deserves some slack but he’s a mile off it. I can’t remember an involvement that was a positive one.

    Meanwhile Weid and T Mac in the side is a thing of beauty.

    Carlton fans say McKay is “unstoppable” 1 on 1 and yet Steven May has won every single 1 on 1. What does that make May?

    Don’t care if he’s injured, May was bathing him well before it too.

    Plenty to improve, but sitting quite nicely.

    I think the forwards getting in each other’s way has been as much is reverting to bombing it in. Especially with Carlton, lower your eyes and there will be pockets of space.

    Petracca will be reminded to do the simple things at half time, and he will be better for it.

    Also our crumbers go to the back of the pack, they need to be at the front.

    We got this!

    Only 2 forward 50 tackles compared to their 10.

    • 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

      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.
