    Max shepherded out of the ruck - no free.

    13 - 8 plus so many not paid

    Max has to be the harshest dealt player in the league. So many times he is not paid a free for blatant blocking, shepherding, arm chopping, holding and high contact hits. 
    Would like to get his POV (off the record to get the truth)

    well that was a woeful quarter.  take oliver out of the picture we fall apart, especially with Petracca being held. too many passengers, we cannot handle their short game and our kicking efficiency sucks big time.

    dismantled

     

    Taken Gawn out of the game, exactly what west coast did in 18

     

    Nice of Geelong to give the reality check, I mean how many have they given us over the years?

    Does Max Gawn EVER EVER Tap to advantage????‽ NUP NOT EVER

    You couldn't find a more bigger front runner then Bayley Fritsch.  Happy to beat up on the lower place teams but goes to water against top quality sides. Absolute front runner. Just the 3 disposals.

    McDonald is absolutely pox. Back to his 2020 form and moving like a crab.

    Brayshaw is absolutely hopeless footballer in general.

    One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how? 

    I think a lot of us would be lying if we said yes.

    This is very unsettling.

    Its not just the score its more the manner of how easy those goals for cats looked.

    Defenders look lost.

    Their game plan is unchanged. Chip chip chip kick inside 50

     

    You'd think that a game plan that has stayed the same for the last 10 years might actually be defended by us

    They’ve always chipped around the back but a lot of run and carry through the middle and fwd and non 15m kicks outside 50 is a change 

    they used to bomb it a fair bit to their big 3

    That quarter was Mark Neeld era bad. 8 goals in a row against. Good to see we saved our best for last!

    How do the Cats get away with constantly playing the man, they push, block, hold, and scagg, at most of the contests and in their forward area?

    Our backs have to play in an uneven contest.

    Not often. It’s hurting us


    Well that certainly escalated turning into crap. 

    Our pressure is non existent. We miss tackles, we are not manning up, they are just waltzing through the middle doing what they please. Hawkins as usual is getting on top of us and we got smashed in the midfield. 

    Holy heck I can't remember this season in a game where we have been so out of it like that.

    Without Hibbo & Hunt. With Viney, Harmes and Sparrow in.  We're slow as a wet week around the contest.   Kozzie's the only one with break away pace/clean disposal and he's playing inside 50.

    This is why i wanted Sparrow out, Baker in and Gus into the middle at least for his skills and evasive abilities.

    Baker is a poor ball user but at least he has a chance of getting the ball i50 fairly quickly and give our forwards a chance.  He's not alone in the poor delivery stakes coming inside 50.

    Also we look flat as a tack tonight.    Forget the system.  Where's the motivation?  That's partially on SG IMV.

    Spargo, Sparrow, Dogga, Harmes, Viney bar his one goal), Macca barely sighted and Max soundly beaten in the ruck in that second quarter.

    Scott is a good coach identified problems, shut down Oliver, freed up Dangermouse, got it out of the center on their tiny ground and kicked it over our heads. They got some breaks but the Grand final isnt played at Cat Park.

    1st half summary. 

    Dees positives - nil , ok maybe Clarry. He’s trying to carry us but one man not enough 

    X umpires killed us and cats got into the game 

    x zone not working  cats picking it apart with run and skill 

    x Hawkins destroying May

    x Cameron showing us why he is such a smart footballer 

    x fumbles like 2019 

    x Tmac is looking like an old man 

    x Trac is not sighted … injured or tired or jet lagged 

    x Gawn beaten in the ruck - cats won 5 centre clearances in a row 

    x passengers not stepping us. Gus ? 

    x Langdon needs to hit a target sometime 

    x Harmes gets the footy and disposal is terrible 

    x viney needs show others how to tackle and trap the footy in 

     

    solutions ?? 

    we can win it 

    gawn must get on top 

    Trac needs to take a Dangerfield pill - run and burst 

    Get angry but disciplined.  Need to grab the footy and show intensity.

    1) It's our first mid quarter collapse in a whole season. It won't be happening again.

    2) some of those goals are easily preventable

    3) our defence got pantsed. Also incredibly unlikely to happen again

    4) I remember doggies got done last round of 2016 by like 10 goals. Went on to win the flag. I doubt this does anything to our belief.

    If anything... a blessed learning I reckon.

    • 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.

      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.
