Did enough, unimpressively

Conceding one goal in three and a half quarters too many for you?

 

( Too many people) Rose coloured glasses

Just a win

great defensive effort 

Port were horrible 

Dees were average 

Hinkley under pressure 

Goodwin in control 

Get BBB back 

Lots of contributors

Let loose Joeboy

 

 


Sorry but I gotta put in my 3 word comment for Sam Weideman.

Disappointing effort tonight.

 

After last week kicking 4 goals against Essendon I held high hopes he would contribute. I barely noticed him tonight.

May - Rock solid defence

Harmes - Hard running + goals

Petracca - 48% disposal efficiency?

Jackson - Marks both ends

Viney - Effective at clearances

Lever - Quiet first game 

Spargo - Played his role

Brayshaw - Solid and effective

Gawn - Back in town

Oliver - Not his best

Langdon - One of our best

Bowey - Much quieter tonight

Tomlinson - Very, very quiet

Jordon - Career best game?

Rivers - Doesn't look 100%

TMac - Hardly sighted

Weide - Well blanketed

Hunt - Bright start, faded

ANB - Played his role

Fritta - Leading goalkicker + chasing

Sparrow - Some good clearances

Kozzie - Only little glimpses


Great, so we sucked the life out of Port like dementors, and half the team were quiet and not at their best?

The only way is up! ☺️

Weideman .. predicable follow up

Time after time

Softer than Watts

Excellent as depth

Weideman: Brown to replace

Jordan: great wingman’s game

Sparrow: love how tough

Sparrow: work on kicking

May - dominated their forwards 

Bowey - the best disposal

Lever - wasn’t really needed

Brayshaw - positions himself perfectly 

Max - answered all critics 

Hinkley - R.I.P


Here's my 2 cents

 

May - much better performance

Harmes - reward for effort

Petracca - hard tag again

Jackson - solid game again

Viney - hard as nails

Lever - welcome back Rick

Spargo - not his best

Brayshaw - Mr reliable again

Gawn - destroyed his opposition

Oliver - well below best

Langdon - absolute running machine

Bowey - still hasn't lost

Tomlinson - not yet convinced

Jordon - really good game

Rivers - question on fitness 

TMac - second best forward

Weid - never got going

Hunt - clubs best golfer

ANB - second efforts great

Fritta - some good cameos

Sparrow - clone of Viney 

Kozzie - love his pressure

That's how you destroy him.

Brown in and Tom managed, giving Weid another crack.

Weid just needs to get a few games and build confidence.

He could have kicked 6 last week.

Tom hasn't looked like that for  quite a while.

Our delivery into the forward line was poor last night and didn't help Weid.

If a player is managed there is the implied understanding that they will return the following week. IF Brown and Weid play well what happens to Tmac? Bad for trust if he’s kept out then. Must be dropped on form, injury or team structure requirements. Management is only a temporary rest.

That's fine whatever you want to call it, my point is Weid stays in next week if you don't want to destroy him.

Maybe, however Weid has shown himself not to be reliable.

Weideman drew a lot of attention from a spruced up backline of Port.

Two multiple goal kickers in our forward half.

 

Are we mishandling Weid? For some reason he is never the prime target as BBB is and other times gets displaced by Maxie or dogga.

Is it time for Weid to be given the chance one out against his defender and become the main target?

Now that he has played to his known form, maybe Maxie could use a rest. We don't want to overuse him.

Right there is your problem - nobody knows what he can consistently deliver because even when he has given consecutive games he failed to lock down a position - so we really have no clear idea what his "known form" is

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve another crack next week just that we should not be reconfiguring our whole forward structure around him - he needs to find a way to work with any structure , any week 

My personal view is that he looks a significantly better player when allowed to run onto the ball (leading with space in front) - he is very easily pushed aside by key defenders and is never going to succeed relying on contested marking. If there is away to free up that space without compromising the ability of other forwards to contribute then great. Fritta seems to be able to make this work with astute timing for his leads and clever positioning around the drop of the ball. 

One of the big challenges for Sam is to ensure that each time he takes the field he walks off having made a meaningful contribution as is the case with the whole squad. This doesn't always have to be measured on goals kicked but the gap between Sam's better games and poorer performances remains significant

  • 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

  • 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.
