    This is what stands out in our forward 50 so far. No run, no flair, no imagination. Bomb it to the pocket, hope a tall can get near it to bring it to ground, and then a fight at ground level (which the Swans are thrashing us at).

    How was the Papley goal not a push in the back to Hunt?????

    They need to pay the obvious ones, even if it goes against the play

    This has been a trend for about a month now. We’ve become extremely weak at contested footy & our decision making has been very poor.

     

    Absolute abysmal effort by our fans the last couple of weeks. Defending premiers against two genuine top 8 contenders & we can’t even hit the 40k mark lol

    Last week really was the template. Match our pressure and move quickly to spares so we don’t have time to set up. Every Swans forward movement looks likely to score. Meanwhile our forward entries are frankly an embarrassment in their predictability. Unless we change both our pressure and contest rating and our forward speed at the turnover, we’re gonna get done again. And easily. They know they’ve got us, just got to maintain the work-rate. 
     

    Only works as May and petty are out, May in particular has allowed us to get away with some bad habits

    we have been here before and we have won well. we have had a lot of bad 2nd quarters over the last year or so. so lets not go giving up hope yet. we have a lot of players down and that can easily turn around.

    Too many passengers. We look like a team that thinks winning will just happen. Teams come out and go 110% trying to beat us and we have just been going. Our easy first half draw hasn’t helped either. 
    Pressure is way off. Forwardline is a complete mess. Defense is depleted and has been all year long. Midfield is not able to sustain dominance for 4 quarters. A lot of improvement. Luckily we are in a good position to reset.

    Our back line has been masking how badly we have been going up the ground for most of the year.

    Cos it wasn’t even close to a push in the back. Just out-bodied, out-positioned.

    Why? We’ve got no tall forwards left to take his place. Our list is unbalanced and we’ve resorted to Mitch Brown. Zero chance Brown loses his spot even with a zero touch game unfortunately.

    If we get three to the ball  they get 4.   We are just getting smoked around the ball

    Seems like we’re flat, second guessing, which will now affect confidence. Bye can’t come soon enough. 15 scoring shots to 8. This may get ugly I fear.

    Actually getting sympathetic to Toby Greene, Stevic and co need to earn respect not just be given it because AFL say so. Exhibit 1 Papley clearly shoved Hunt in the back wins unfair advantage, kicks goal and 'behaves' accordingly. Throw the rule book out. Give the people unbridled momentum and a spectacle at any cost. $$$$$$$$$$

    • 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.
