Interesting comment by Beveridge that coming off a 5 day break and last weeks 'high intensive running' game hurt them last night with fatigue and injuries.  Why play Bontempelli 81% of game time knowing he had injury.   Did they really need to run intensively last week when the game was won?

Sure they got the big % boost vs Ess last week but it possibly cost them a win this week and more injuries for the coming weeks. 

He could learn from out strategy and go defensive in the last quarter when we have a good lead, especially knowing they had a 5 day break. 

Looks like poor game time management, all round.

One thing that I really noticed in the Port win was their kicking to a leading forward inside 50. I think they had nearly 20 inside 50 marks. It's something that Melbourne has really lost. We kick long to à big pack and rely on Ben browns reach. Would love to see us delivering to a leading forward out in front. I don't think it's our forwards. All of our forwards are capable of a strong lead. I watch and they just hold back and wait for the long bomb. Probably why our forwards aren't kicking bags atm. Thoughts?

Heavy Cairns game and tight last quarter up there appears not to have slowed Port. 
Saints also  have extra day. 

I’m not buying the Saints will be “buggered tomorrow” narrative.

They’ve had good a 8 day break and the resources put into sports science these days should see them recover just fine.

Agree 100%. But should the Saints lose you can guarantee it will get trotted out by the media.

Impossible to tell from that game. North were as bad as it gets. Freo actually turned the ball over a lot in positions where North should’ve scored but North were just so bad it’s impossible to tell. Freo are on track to play finals. We’ll see whether they’re top four material in the next month when they play GC, Pies, Us and Brisbane. All I got out of this game was that I hope North play that badly against us in round 10. The percentage would be great!

Knowing us, Cunnington will come back, have 55 possessions, kick 11 goals, and we’ll win with a point after the siren. Kicked from right in front in the goal square.

 

MFCSS strikes again 👀😂💪🤷💙❤️

 

 

Bulldogs are bottom 10. I said at the beginning of the year that I thought Port had the best list, apart from us. I still think that they can make a Grand Final. They have a solid A grade midfield, when fully fit!

Could not disagree more, their chance was 2020 and they blew it.

Ok, Ken.

You can’t tell some people! Butters, Rozzee etc (All good young players of good character) . Port have a culture of scrapping which the Bulldogs, Essendon etc don’t have right now. I believe that Port will be one of the teams we should respect going forward. But people in Melbourne seem very narrow minded about other peoples ideas and write them off too easily.
Ok. I admit! They gave up too easily to the Bulldogs but Port have been there or thereabouts a for 20 years now. They rarely drop off! They shall be back! We need to be ready for them! Even if they don’t make the Grand Final this year or even the Finals, they shall soon enough!

Howe and Moore have been torn apart by Richmond. Their usual intercept marking has been taken out of the game leaving their defence all at sea. But this game has been lost in Collingwood's forward 50. They can rarely hit their targets.

  • 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.
