Apart from the third quarter I’d agree with you, the worry was that when we lost our structure there really seemed to be a few headless chook moments. Thankfully May brought them all in and steadied the ship, but the Stringer mark inside 50 was something we haven’t seen for a long time. 

I think that’s the best thing about this team though, when the oppo has the run on and even takes the lead there isn’t panic or blaming. Each line comes together and knows what they need to do to reset. 

FWIW Nibbler (who I like) stood and watched. I think he could/should have made a contest.

    Coaches Split:

    5/5 Oliver

    4/4 Brayshaw

    2+2 or 3+1 or 1+3 for Weideman, Langdon, Wright.

    Good to see all players got votes from both coaches.

    I watched the replay last night and I think we played pretty well and much better than has been . We were excellent in the first quarter and would have been further in front had we not failed to convert from set shot. The Bombers scoring shots were from lucky wobbly kicks inside 50 or 50m penalties.

    The second half was a bit more concerning only because of the centre clearance. As much of a weapon the centre clearance was for us in the finals last year, we were not a great over the course of the season last year. I would like us to be a bit more conservative in there.

    I still think the only way we lose at the moment (when our pressure is high) is if we kick poorly for goal and/or we get badly beaten in the centre clearance. Both these things happened on Friday and we still won by 29 points.

    IMO we only got smashed at centre bounce when our B-team of Viney, Sparrow and ANB were in the middle

    Weid kicked 4 goals 3 points had 11 possessions and 7 marks

    Curnow and McKay kicked 5 goals 1 point between them  and had 11 marks between them

    Most on here have written Weid off, and he has now shown that he can play at this level. I understand that it a small sample but he has shown what he is capable of.

    Let's hope he backs this up next week, he could turn out to be a very good player for us.

     

    Didn’t back it up

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
