Crows have scored 7 goals from turnovers!! That was the old Melbourne. We are better than that now. Cmon Demons!!

Sloppy skills

Down the line kicks

Bombing inside 50

Getting beaten on the outside

Old Melbourne

    That was a big goal from Harmes at the end, just steadies the ship a bit. But the crows are up for the fight tonight, we’ve got to bring it in the second half. 

    The umpiring legitimately is disgusting though, how they could possibly give deliberate out of bounds against Spargo in our forward pocket is beyond me and that’s only the tip of it. Disgraceful. 

    I wouldn’t really say anyone is playing well, Langdon was big in the first quarter but seemed to be curtailed a bit in the second. Fritta came into it in the second quarter but should’ve had more from his chances. Our midfield, much talked up for their contested work, is STILL getting beaten in clearances. Viney is so important to our make up in there. 

    Brayshaw has been solid, plugging holes and seems to be using it fairly well but we’re doing a lot of hack kicks out of defence. Neither Lever, May, or Petty look like they’re playing well. 

    Legitimately worried, 3rd quarter is big. 

    Hunt and Petty haven’t been good

    clarry held a bit but watch him rebound in the 2nd

    we miss Viney in games like this

    We are a touch off with our defensive effort and just bombing it forward of 50. Crows are up and about and outnumbering us at the ball. All that and its level pegging. Lets see if we come out a different team in the second half.

    why are people so negative on here? this is basically how every game has gone this season.

    Has our team looked as spooked this season? Has our backline failed to kill as many 50-50 balls this season? 
     

    This is different

    Hoping Weid can prove his worthiness in the side in the last 2 quarters.

    As for our small forwards in ANB, Spargo and Kossie, wake the puck up.

    Weid has played his normal game, kicked his goal,what more do you want.!

    Backline looks so shaky. Will need Kosi magic to get out of this one with a W. 

    Hope it comes soon.

     

    Walker is a first rate bogan

    Adelaide are killing us when the ball hits the ground and with their uncontested possessions. 

     

    And lever... keep it simple son. You're not that good.

    Very untrue. Adelaide are cutting us up through the middle and are transitioning with ease. Our backline has been very very poor and loose. This is the first time it’s happened all year. 

    you gotta be kidding me! north melbourne were up by 3 goals at half time against us and cutting us up a lot more than this

    A disgraceful performance so far against a bottom 4 team.

    You've got to give credit to the Crows. They've been very good. We've been off but it's still level. Our superior fitness will tell in the end i reckon

    Where is Sam?

    Need to take our opportunities,  Tmac and Melky missed gettable ones. Gave Crows a look and they took it.

    We slowed down that fast corridor movement of the Crows. Now they are finding free outside players at the contest.

    Well done Olly, Tracc, Jackson, Fritta, Brayshaw. 

    Hunty,  Jetts, May c'mon. 

    Need some others to also lift.

    Expected more, now we really have to lift. Less bombs and more precision and thought.

    Cmon Dees some excellence.

    How TF did May start on 200cm thilthorpe and not on Tex? Really poor match up decision

    This is an exciting game with plenty of goals and the result is uncertain. This is what footy is all about. Enjoy the experience. GO DEMONS!

    May simply has to stay on Tex.  He's their outlet kick down the line and one of the best kicks coming inside 50.

    Petty on him is gifting them an opportunity to stay in it and/or win the match.

    Edited by Rusty Nails

    First time we’ve had to play the crowd this year, and all that comes with it - umpiring, oppo getting hero cheers, no love from the crowd when you do good stuff. That’s when our slow starts are a problem - if you don’t shut ‘em up early, crowds like this are worth 1-2 goals a quarter. Unless our fitness late becomes a positive, it’s hard to imagine us winning. That they’re just cutting us up with short, fast possessions is also very worrying. High risk + crowd = high reward I guess.

    Our backline is where we are down more significantly than against Norf, which is our bread and butter. We win games thru our backline. Losing Salem is really hurting us. 
    We also lost Tomlinson early against Norf which had a massive impact on our structure. We adjusted after half time and I hope we do the same today.

    Will be interesting 2nd half. I will keep my judgement on the game till full siren.

    The lack of pressure from the mids and high half forwards is the problem more than those missing from the backline.

    We weren't spooked against North. Crows are a much stronger outfit. Genuine 50/50 contest now.

      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.
