If we win from here we are the real deal   but worried

 

We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

    Difficult to see on TV but The expert comments are saying we are playing a 7 man defence giving GWS an extra around the ball when it’s being contested. We are getting belted around stoppages and thru the middle. Time to get numbers back in the middle I think. Is it Jordan playing back to make up the 7?

    Don't care if Weed or Brown don't get a touch. Need a contest. GWS are marking everything uncontested in our forward 50.

    No point Tom Macdonald marking on the wing then kicking long to Spargo & Pickett.

    Viney isnt an asset at stoppages. He is again blocking the outlet as he is 2nd to the drop.

    This is simple.

    Outnumbered at the contest but we have an extra in defence. 

    Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, can't win a clearance so forwards are getting nothing.

    GWS have also taken the Melbourne wingers out of play.

    How many more year of Viney do we have to watch lol 

    Yes he's heart and soul - but he's just not a good player I'm sorry 

    Game is going past him at an alarming rate

    Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

    How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

    Maybe a loss will force Goodys hand and bring in one of the browns.

    We had sam w in for five games...dropped him without like for like.

    Sick of our backline having to do all the work.

    And if bbs fitness is in question then so should  vineys.

    Edited by leave it to deever

     

    They are going in way harder and are using it better. If we don’t lift our pressure we will lose heavily.

    Hibbo: 1 disposal

    Toby Green: 3 goals

    Time for a rethink.

    Toby Green: four kicks. Yes, he has converted well, but  Hibbo is doing a great job

    They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

    BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA 

    Selection committee blocking out fugazi, aka common sense with Brown's non-selection. Too much self serving tripe at press conferences not to mention the Gawn/ Bradshaw podcast rubbish.

    2nd qtr

    ❌ getting smashed at the clearances 12-18 and losing contested footy 30-39 

    ❌giants switched on. Pressure acts  

    ❌ who’s on kelly. Ffs he’s killing us

    ❌ oliver Viney brayshaw are having zero influence 

    ❌ a goalkicking tall forward !!! Give me Ben Brown now 

    ✅ gawn salem May lever 

    ✅ Anb goal  SPARROW goal

    goody??? 

    ?  I think we do need a Ben Brown NOW 

    ? Giants have extra man at contest and we have may behind the ball. That’s a defensive mindset

    ? kozzzzzy. STAY INSIDE 50 ffs !!!

    Ok, I’m probably gonna cop it but I have never got all the love for Viney……sure he is hard at it but rarely does he come up with the ball and if he does he gets tackled trying to do too much. He’s not fast, blindly bombs his kicks but I guess he’s not alone there. I dunno, maybe I know nothing.  ?

    Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

    he sucks and I'm happy to cop heat for it 

    being tough isn't an asset anymore

    I would trade him in a heartbeat.

    He's getting exposed with the pace of the game, in 2 years he will be totally shot

    Agreed. If we were winning more clearances our forwards would be more likely to score. It's as simple as that.

      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.
