five of our premiership back six out but our entire starting midfield not defending doesn't help

Thatโ€™s a big part of the poor play. The midfield dominance that underpinned our big wins last year just isnโ€™t there tonight. Viney is MIA, Max, Oliver, Harmes and Tracc getting possessions but not working together and not getting back defensively and an undermanned backline is being exposed. LJ, Kossie, Spargo, Hunt really struggling. Hope this is the shocker we needed.ย

What's the definition of umpire abuse? ย  Clearly "youre a fckn [censored]" is abuse but isย it not ok to say that decision was crap anymore?

Can't even shake your head, mutter "You're kidding me" and put your hands on your knees anymore.

Not in the preseason and the first qrt of the season, then theyโ€™ll relax as the season goes on.

Like all of these new rules, they come out hard, pay it at every opportunity, and then ease off as the negative press and club complaints roll in

It doesnโ€™t matter, what we think is abuse or otherwise. The players know that dissent will not be tolerated, so theyโ€™ll have to keep their thoughts to themselves. Itโ€™s not as if theyโ€™re going to change the decision anyway. ย Best they learn now, before the season gets underway, I suppose.

Brayshaw and Langdon are so important to us. We look like Melbourne from 2021 when they're doing defensive things.

Fritsch is just a born goalkicker. Horrible game yet has kicked 3 and it's just after half time.


lol ran a km.

Oliver on Cripps is a bad matchup because Oliver doesnโ€™t care todayย

18 steps I caught.

wtf is this umpiring.ย 


I just got home. Blues supporters will be happy. Any injury worries?

I reckon this game is teaching us all a few things.

First, a reminder about the importance of a healthy list. At no stage last year did we go into a game with 5 first choice defenders missing. Having one or two second rung players filling in is fine (eg Smith in the late Rounds and early finals last year) but when you need them to all work together with only Lever there to marshall, it shouldnโ€™t surprise that it isnโ€™t going to work as well. Carlton scored from 48% of their inside 50s (we had more, surprise surprise).ย 

Secondly, goal kicking accuracy. 12.3 vs 5.6. ย We lost games last year because we didnโ€™t convert.ย 

Third, we are nothing without workrate. Last week vs North I saw an entire side working like they did in the finals. If weโ€™re not at that level tonight, that will explain why weโ€™re behind.ย 

And fourth, tonight is a more real game than last week (too many read too much into a genuine scratch match) but itโ€™s also not a real game. Remember, ย we got belted by the Dogs in this game last year.ย 

[censored] Gary Lyon ay? Tell him to shut the [censored] up. Decide if you are part of the club or not.

If you want to be then don't sink the [censored] boots in at every [censored] opportunityย

Omfg that is a jokeย 

Itโ€™s a total joke!


Carlton celebrating like theyโ€™re winning flags. I love this.ย 

Sound of people putting Cripps in their SuperCoach team

ย 

The biggest things we need to take out of this game is that the umpires will not tolerate "who do I give the ball to" BS.ย 

We were the masters of that last year, and I'm not sad to see it go.

    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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
