We aren’t competitive in the air aside from our defenders. Have to change out game plan a bit - as long down the line is killing us.

Have wanted to trust in him, but Weid offers nothing. Mauled in the ruck, and cant provide strength in the contest

The umpiring is YET AGAIN A JOKE.

Seriously the umps need GLASSES.

ABSOLUTELY USELESS just like last year.

It is not their eyesight. They know what is going in. They are downright cheats.

Foot went off the pedal as soon as we got a few goals up.

WTF. Everytime ball goes in Crows 50 Walker gets a head high tackle. And May needs to stop kicking long to the Crows ruckman. Just dumb.

July 2, 20223 yr

This game really is going the way of last years. We need to work our butts off this won't be an easy kill, we need to get repeat forward 50 stoppages and more scoring chances and we'll do it.

Stats Id like to see:

1 succesful bombs into the square

2 where free kicks are won and lost

1st half

X decision making

x slow play and kicking to packs

x overhandballing to players under more pressure

x who’s on Dawson !!! Ffs - put Neal-bullen in him

x kicking to O’Brien!!!!

x oliver 2 misses, Harmesy bad miss from 3metres out

🤮Weid - outmarked outmuscled outplayed dropped marks poor tackles

🤮🤮🤮umps -12 to 6!

🤮Pickett and Bedford nowhere near it

🤮Goodwin coaching - man up on Dawson Low kicks to contests Quick play on footy

🤬May on Walker

😊 lever petty Brayshaw Trac Clarry … and maybe Jordon

I am hoping, and thinking, we'll run over them in the second half (need a change in how we drive the ball forward), but that depends on how much gas the umps have in the tanks. Truly atrocious today.

July 2, 20223 yr

Frees 12-6

walker has a neck but Demons players don’t

crows at least 2 goals from frees

They don’t need glasses they are seeing everything. They are choosing which frees to pay. We got none that quarter. Crowd thinks that is too many.

We have a Captain on the ground and he should be asking why it is happening before they start the second half.

Also this bombing into the forward line to a one on two or even three is just dumb. Kick it wide or along the ground, to get our small forwards into the game.

Seeing Burgo in the Adelaide rooms makes me sick with rage

July 2, 20223 yr

Umpiring is a joke. They get crowd frees for nothing.

July 2, 20223 yr

Great tough game of footy, Crows playing some great footy, so are we.

Unfortunately Weid is trying so hard, 2nd efforts etc... but his lacking of marking ability is killing us. Concrete hands in so many marking contests.

Actually, we have 1 remaining issue to fix if we want to go all the way this year: contested marking. BBB, Weid, and M Brown are getting to everything but marking nothing. Fritsch is struggling to even get to a marking contest.

When people throw themselves headfirst and forward deliberately playing for the free it’s difficult to tackle. That last one to Tex wasnt actually high. The umpires should not pay those ones as players endanger themselves leading with their head.

July 2, 20223 yr

AFl do not want us to get too many games ahead..

July 2, 20223 yr

need to stop kicking down the line to their talls who are intercepting everything. This is exactly what we want opposition teams to do when max is playing. How dumb, pass it around. Sparrow does some good things but has not idea about moving the ball quickly, he has had multiple opportunities to do a short kick down the line to a free player but holds it up and does a long kick down the line. Must admit the umpiring is pretty poor, tex's ruck free for blocking was a disgrace, we see their ruckman putting their arms around our ruckman and throwing them out of the way but thats ok. Ben Brown is being manhandled as is oliver and they are getting nothing. We have far too many players who have done absolutely nothing they need to lift. the coach needs to remind them that we have players in the VFL that are ready to take their place.

July 2, 20223 yr

The lack of quality ruckman huge factor. No Jackson or Gawn any team would struggle. It one of those 4 points games we have to tough out. Crows at home no easy assignment but a loss here will hurt season prospect big time. Damn injuries

July 2, 20223 yr

Anyone ask Bedford what he was thinking!!!
55 metres out - burning off his opponent - open 50 - open goal square …

and kicks 40 metres to the pocket where no one is. Really defies any level of thinking ?!?!?!

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.

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.

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.
