Trac 27 touch's good game , Bradshaw 26 touch's good game, my 3 for joeboy, only half right. Very bias views

 

Gawn - held some marks

Oliver - more clearances please

Jordon - provides good pressure

Salem - continues impressive season

Langdon - always an asset

McDonald - excellent kicking accuracy

Harmes - holds his spot

Neal- Bullen - solid and reliable

Brayshaw - kicking is appauling

Petracca - learning his limits

Hunt - was better today

Lever - our most important

Fritsch - one important goal

May - beaten by McKay

Pickett - provides incredible run

Rivers - holds his own

Spargo - better each game

Hibberd - solid all game

Weideman - should kick those

Petty - covering Tomlinson nicely

Brown - provided a target

Chandler - is on notice

Reckon T-Mac owes Brown at least 2 goals from today where he picked his pocket.

Weid provided some big contests in the first half including a big grab deep in the Carlton forward half.

The mix of T-Mac, Brown and Weid will be very difficult to nut out as there were multiple occasions where they led to the same spot and spoiled each other.

Also, not sure why it happened but what was Max doing drifting back in front of them?

A great job.

Oliver..pinnacle of fitness.

Gus...very much improved.

Weideman definitely fits in better than Brown with our game plan and structure. Just more flexible.

He is FAR more versatile.

Applies more pressure, moves up and down the ground more/better, get's himself in more contests, is better under his knee's. 

The acquisition of BB after 2019 would've been a knee jerk reaction, but would've made sense.

The acquisition of BB after 2020 just didn't make any sense. 

Another game we could have won by 10 goals . Have not looked at the stats but watching the game BOG to May and very even from there , a good team performance . Lever , Christian's , Kosi and 10 others impressive . The whole team looks strong and we out numbered them at most contests . Will check how many holding the ball decisions as felt I yelled ball a lot .

No DAM BELL RINGING before the game . Missed my AC/DC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good summary, with a comment below:

Brayshaw/Oliver   -  if only they could kick. (5 words I know)

No offence but you can't be serious.. Gus officially had 10 clangers today, only 1 tackle and just 66 ranking points (Oliver 140, Langdon 110 for scale).

That is a horrendous waste of 26 possessions.  I can't see how you can think he's possibly improved?

Yes, Gus' disposal was wasteful, but I thought he was terrific today. 

Brown?  Needs some space.

If you play a forward like him deep, then they need the space to run in to on the lead.  Brown was not given that space and too often, our forwards spoiled each other.

To me, May and Lever were sensational.  Langdon good, but not up to his best.  Salem?  The backline general.  So underestimated.

Petracca?  Clearly, to me, he was playing sore.  That said, so much for my prediction that he would not play today.  Both Max and Kozzie are either carrying an injury, or they are just tired.  Neither were at their best.  Charlie Spargo?  I am loving his cameos more and more

We won and I am happy for that, but list 'management' will need to come soon, so that we are at our peak come finals time.

I actually thought Oliver made a few very good short kicks inside 50 from congestion that hit targets and led to goals. Yet again, I feel like  he has been underrated by his very own supporters.


Umpires?  3 words?  FFS.  We just want consistency.  The sling tackle on Hunt needs to be looked at by the MRO.  No free, but very dangerous.  JH was lucky not to be concussed.

I thought Langdon was better than “some useful endeavour”.

Don't speak too soon   We don't know what is up ahead!

WE have 30/32 players that are AFL worthy and some will vary vs different teams.

Much better,  and I think with Mark Williams we can fix this.

I just watch and constantly admire Oliver in particular but gee he could be more damaging. But he does his job in spades and courage and endeavour is first class.  Currenttly second in the Age voting.

He's great.  I love him.  Just impatient for him to start hitting the scoreboard and tidying up his kicking.  He's a *ucking beast however.  And he's ours.

Oliver's kicking needs some refinement. He has to decide whether he is a "long bomber" in which case the forwards should adjust or if the is to be a "straight passer" which will also require an adjustment. At the moment he/we are not sure. He has shown before that he can pass with long bombs but it requires the forwards to lead to space. 

As for Brayshaw. His kicking was poor but his kick selection was worse.  He should be reminded that the goals are the big sticks at the end of the ground, not in the grandstand, and kick in their direction. In fact most of the team should be reminded as too many kicks are directed deep into the pockets.

Salem is a gem. Lever and May, as a unit, are clearly the two best key positions backs I have seen for decades. Hunt, Hibbert, Petty and Rivers fill any and all gaps and Brayshaw and Langdon provide key support when needed. Roos' defensive planning finally coming to maturity.

I just wish Oliver would sort out his goalkicking.  It's the only aspect of his game that's missing. 

He’s a pretty fascinating player. So brilliant in a multitude of ways and so often on our best players lists, but I’d struggle to name a worse kick at the club than Oliver.

Improved no around the same mark he has always been at but in the past the club have excepted it. As we get to to the pointy end in a year when we are a real threat there will come a point when they they will have to make a change. To win big matches under pressure you cant carry guys like this.

  • 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.
