    Horne Francis dropping the knees? rare that a player gets caught high so often

    He’s a great player but he 100% drops the knees when contact is approaching, a-la Mathieson and Selwood etc.

    Q2. 
    Fumbles Brayshaw. Heavy knock ?
    Bowey ummm rattled. 
    Love ya Kosssy
    Dees poor decisions going inside 50. 
    Poor goalkicking again. Brown. ANB. Melksham. Trac
    38 to 19 inside 50s … dominant but poor converting so 8.9  to  6.1 
    Umps favouring Dees 16-10 frees

    Clarry is a star

    People forget that this isn't the Murray league where spankings are common.  Winning at this level is never easy.  No matter what the ladder position

    Dunstan definitely having a stinker. Needs not to think. Play the percentages. 

    people need to realise that every team is throwing absolutely everything they can to beat us. everyone wants to beat the best. we're not going to see many huge wins especially this early in the season unless teams completely throw in the towel which really only GWS has. WC gave it everything they could. As has North today. any mid table team playing North is going in with North just wanting to play their style. They get trounced. Play Melbourne and it's all about making it as difficult as possible for them to win. The margin minimisation strategy makes it seem like we're playing poorly and the opposition is playing well. in reality it's just two teams both competing in a great contest.

    Can someone tell me if it was a concussion for Langdon?

    What about Ziebell getting supended? Same tackle as Chandler. Norf havent been too bad need to lift Naarm.


    1. We miss Viney for his mental toughness and driving standards

    2. Dunstan has always been a poor kick, why are people surprised?

    Regardless of scoreboard. We are getting bruised.

    Cut Petty some slack. He really hurt his ankle in the first quarter. Could barely walk. They obviously pumped him full of drugs and told him to carry on.

    For me it's not that. We look like we're in minus 1st gear while North are having a real crack. The first goal we got where we actually had some nice team play was Kozzie's. We're junkyarding around, we need to raise our game

    Seems Melksham and Dunstan came into the game trying to do the flashy stuff to impress the coaches, they should instead play their roles like Harmsey and Viney

    Probably ribs after that spear tackle.

    Only 3 guys with 10+ touches to 1/2 time for us and they have 58, 56 & 61% disposal efficiency. Basically, the ones who are getting it are turning it over.

    Also kick straight and the game is done. 
    7 scoring shots to 17 plus 2 out on the full.

    Totally agree. Other teams set themselves to play at their best against us. This is what Nought are doing. Losing Ed and no Viney makes a new dynamic 

    Bad Kicking doesn’t help. We need to get that sorted

    Still the most handsome winger in footy. I'll let you know when I know more than that, but he's hard to track down.

    So are we looking at 4-6 weeks without our AA wing? Not good 😭

     

    Lots of fumbling, handling errors and dropped marks. Frustrating. TMac, Kozzie and Fritsch looking good.

    Some unfortunate casual, carefree stuff from Petracca. Oliver is a star.

    We have also got some terrible free kicks given to to us - that 50m is a disgrace to our game. 

    Please, please, please do NOT play Dunstan again. I would rather see a young kid have a crack and make mistakes than a mature player show us what poor VFL football looks like.

    Goldy and Xerri doing a really good job nullifying Max. 

    North having a red hot go and finally showing what system they are trying to play. 

    We’re going to come out of this with some injuries, not great leading up to the tough games we have coming up. Langdon, Brayshaw, Petty, May, Bowzer all copped serious knocks so far

    • 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

      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.
