We didn't deserve that last goal, but hopefully we are smart enough to take advantage of it and start playing some selfless footy in the second half. 

Clarry and Trac trying to do too much

Anyone going to stand up in the 50?

Somebody going to get on Merrett?

    Playing badly yet in front , should go on with it from here.

    Does anyone still think we shouldn't be playing BB in / around and out of the goal square?

    Kozzie at the drop front and square.

    We have played poorly, bombers close to their best yet they are losing at half time. 

    Lucky to be in front really. But fancy is to sort it at half time. Harmes needs to do a job on Merrett second half and our forwards need to lift. Come on dees


    May has been sensational.

    Jackson just needs to take his time and relax. His first shot that hit the post was a great kick. He needs to reward the hard defensive work and take his :30 seconds and trust himself. 

    I feel like we are low on confidence. Get a bit more reward for effort forward of the ball and we will look a lot better.

    I was 50/50 on whether I wanted to see Brown back. I was curious as to what our small forward line setup would look like, but it's pretty clear we've gotten used to the 2 tall setup, and we're playing as if we're expecting McDonald to be there for the long kick in, when he's busy running up and down the ground.

    Brown in next week regardless of the result for mine.

    no tracc tonight,the big heads are getting  in their own  way

    Every one of his possies has gone to them. Rarely seen him play a worse half.

    Dry night and we have no big forwards and we kick to packs. As dumb as you can get.

    Oliver stuffing up because he looks up and no one to kick to.

    I so hope you’re right. 

    Where McDonald? Fritsch? Pickett? ANB?

    Our forwards are completely non existent for 2nd week in a row. 

    Hope Oliver gets an almighty spray for that insipid performance.

    Clayton needs to get his head out of the clouds and mind on the job. Poor decisions costing us. Hoping he can turn it on for the second half

     

    I can only assume that Oliver is trying to draw heat to free up his fellow midfielders. When it comes off it looks great, but when it doesn’t it’s infuriating.

    What’s working: May, Langdon

    The problem is moving the ball into the forward line. Skills, connection, system and personnel.

    I'd put Petracca permanently forward and  Fritta higher up the ground.

    We will swamp their defence with rapid repeat forward entries all night. Will be a night out for our forwards.

     

    Our forwards.  Who are they?

    • 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.
