POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Adelaide

The umpiring was a stitch up. 

Plenty to like though. Tracc 30 and 3, Oliver doing Oliver things, Langdon back to his best, May and Lever holding firm. 

Hated the easy misses in the third quarter though. Brown and Bedford shouldn't be spraying them from 20 out.

    Can’t believe not a word from Foxtel commentators on what was probably the worst umpiring performances this season. 
     

    Really happy for Mitch Brown to bag 2 goals, tried hard in the ruck, but way undersized.. Has been a great team man for Melbourne and deserved a bit of reward. 

    And that stat was also never shown on the coverage. I find it easier (less stressful)  to watch the games on TV with the sound off - but those commentators were desperately barracking for Adelaide.

    Great win in hostile territory against that mob. Viney, no fear, on season form he deserves AA. 
    I’m sure that the ova shoulder against May on their ff, on the fifty line 2nd qtr I think, was actually his own teammates arm across his shoulder, fmd. I’m sure they try their best.

    I was watching on Kayo and Jason Dunstall was talking up Clarry and Melbourne big time. “Oliver’s hands when he is being tackled are the best I have ever seen” and then Oliver handballed to Langdon 5m away when he had absolutely no right to. He is quite obviously a freak

    Worst umpiring I’ve seen in years. None of our tackles rewarded, Adelaide paid marks over the boundary line, Tex Walker basically cheating the ruck system, high tackles not paid etc. 

    [censored], I loved it when we kicked those two quick goals in the last qtr and shut up those stupid Crom supporters and said a big F you to the umpires trying to steal it from us.

    Also, blessed that we get to watch Oliver, Trac and Viney at their absolute best.

    I put in the non mfc games forum I'd love to see one of our mids kick 3 goals like merrett did for the bombers today and Trac step up and di it. It was good to see him kicking straight again.

    Mitch brown was really good today.  Tried really hard and held his own better and better in Ruck as game went on.  Also ran to good spots when playing forward

    That blocking free against Brown was the worst decision of the year.

    The umpiring is the biggest blight on our game and the only strategy the AFL has is to stop players complaining about it.

    But hey, what about Robbie Williams at the Grand Final.

    Priorities priorities

    So, anyone wanna have a guess on Gil's email address?

    We should all send him some feedback on that state of our game.

    What about the non free when Oliver had his head ripped off right in front of the umpire in the last quarter? Unbelievable.

    I don’t know what it is about bogan stadium but this is the second yr in a row the umps have been PATHETIC. 

    Lucky this time it didn’t cost us 4 points but my god they tried their best to get the cows over the line. It’s a disgrace.

    Massively satisfying win. It genuinely felt like every marginal decision would be called or not called in Adelaide’s favour.

    Has there ever been a player as likeable as Tex Walker? When he started leaning into tackles like Weightman, it took my affection to a whole new level.

    - Petracca looking much more confident and dynamic.

    -Langdon’s run was massively important responding to Adelaide in the last quarter.

    Great 12th win in hostile territory.

    Mids were great and backs were intercept kings.

    Kozzi was intimidating and got some help in that 3rd qtr.

    Onto Mordor!

    Classic case of player looking at opponent rather than ball. Worst free I’ve seen for a long time

    @Kent do you recognise that structurally we had some important players out?

    We had 9 scoring shots more than them and won by 29 points...

    There is probably 2 reasons and an outcome there that may help you make sense of your question.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
