Carbon copy of the dogs game at the g last year. get close but overrun late because you can't get away with it when a lot of your team are well off their best. 

 

 

So everyone, when we get a club members survey, put on it somewhere we never want to play, nor we should have to play there again.

Genuinely don't think we have the fitness

Seriously though it’s a fair point. Our second halves this year have been poor. Last year we were unstoppable in second halves. We’re a fair way off that level now.

 

Geelong didn’t look old and past it. Their pressure lasted 4 quarters and they sauntered out our forward 50 with ease all night.

we looked slow, sloppy and predictable 

3 goals ten    Too many entries into the D50 and too many poor entries into the F 50 

 

 

fix it


Play the corridor. Make our guys contest without 3 of their buddies to help out. We are extremely overrated and are a system team that had a system that took a little while for others to work out.

Corridor teams, including the appalling Hawthorn team, make us look pretty ordinary. 

Gawn and Jackson probably not as '100%' as Goodwin made out.

Smashed at stoppage.

Smashed aerially forward of centre (as is tradition)

If our gameplan trends towards F50 entries resulting in contested marking contests then we need players who can actually bring the ball to ground. Ben Brown isn't it. He barely gets near it at times.

Smashed in the clearances. maybe better with Weid and Mitch rucking. Gawn and Jackson more or less useless. 

At least put one of them up forward for a different dynamic.

Sparrow, Pickett and Spargo should all be dropped for their inept games.

We played [censored] football. Too many passengers. Dreadful disposal. Outnumbered too often.

Also we gave them a couple of Junk times so if that is Geelong's best on their own dungheap, I don't fear them on the G in September.

They kicked 18 behinds, should have been at least a 40 pt drubbing tbh.


A really poor effort… May very very ordinary, Gawn looking totally disinterested, no awareness, so constantly getting caught with the ball… I hope we learn from this as we have a tough run up to the finals.

We had a lot of players down tonight. Salem looks a mile off, Jackson the same, Max looked underdone. We need consistency but I’m questioning the hunger. Time will tell.

Beaten at the clearances, badly.

Our forward system remains a total enigma. Our forwards rarely lead, lots of kicking to stationary targets, our small and mid forwards nowhere near their best. A lot of our forward play totally staggers me. I know Goody rarely swings the axe but Bedford, Kozzie, Sparrow and ANB must be close to losing their places.

 

If I never have to lay eyes on that dump of a ground or that degenerate fan base ever again, i'll be a happy man. 

 

Geelong the better side tonight.  Congratulations to them.  31 scoring shots to 18 is a comprehensive victory.  Still a long way to go.  Need 4 out of 6 to make top 4.


We'll thump them in the finals.

Salem needs a spell. Has looked terrible since his return and tonight was his worst yet. His kicking lacks penetration and precision. Work on it at Casey.

Out played all night, we were playing at 65%, geelong 95%. Pretty much had every player playing below par and still had a sniff. I'd back us in a rematch at the G or Marvel.

 


Selwood a dirty little sniper, probably broken Clarrys thumb

18 games down there in 22 years

And we played poorly 

I don't mind that we lost, but we ended so poorly. Terrible skills all day, sloppy, no imagination going forward, lost contests and if I had a buck for every time we kicked it straight to them I might have made back the dollarydoos I lost on a few multis. Tuohy killed me.

  • 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.
