Need an enormous response. 

Players again going into their shell. Second to contests and fumbling. And the desperation acts aren't helping because we're getting sucked in to the contest again like last week and Sydney have better shape around the ball.

Trac and Clarry need to stand up as does Ben Brown, Salem, Tomo, Mitch Brown, Hunt. 

Not good enough. 

 

 

Our delivery to Ben Brown has been pathetic.

We kick it to a contest every time in our forward line and he’s not that kind of forward.

How many times have we hit him on a lead of late?

    Here we go. We’ve owned the premiership quarter barring last week.

    Tomlinsom has been unmatchable, Ben Brown can't get near it, Salo rusty, beaten at our own game that quarter.

    There's a reason for that....none have played at this level for a while and the Swans are coming off a great come back win.  Tails up.  Hold judgement till the 2nd half.  Takes a while to pick up AFL pace.

    In the end it will come down to winning the mid field battle

    OK, I got up, had a cold drink, vented my frustration, and now ready for the 2nd half.

    Our midfield looks hesitant and faulty, our forward 50 looks clunky and dysfunctional. Swans have goals from Reid who is getting free kicks for nothing, and another goal from a kick out of a pack which lands in the lap of another forward. And yet we are 2 points down. 

    I think we might actually be OK.

     

    WTF was that for

    Why do we continue to appear to have most leads (and pretty much all TFs) going wide to the pockets?

    Easier for us to set up our defence.

    We have almost overcorrected, prioritising our defence way more than our offensive game.

    26-12 hit outs, yet losing clearances………no connection in the forward line or middle atm.

    At the bounce to start this quarter Gawn had a clear tap but went the no-look over his head straight to a Sydney player.

    Petracca fumbles again


    Real arm wrestle ATM

    • 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.

      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.
