Harmes gave them momentum. 

Seriously dumb footballer. He literally had to kick it in front of Melksham and completely missed him by 20m.

By 20 m more like 50 he just lacks composure in critical times.

    It would be better towards the opposition though.

    Evidence as to why Harmes is my least favourite player. 

     

    Has too man brain fades sadly. Can be costly

    Still worth his place though, hopefully he picks up form again

    Harmes is having a stinker so send him to run with smith now I reckon. 
     

    i reckon the dogs are playing really well tonight so if we beat them it should be seen as a good sign of a return to form.

    C'mon Demons big 2nd half

    Weid was good in the 1st but went missing in the 2nd. Needs a big 2nd half

    It's a tough call bw who is Better....Lever or Petty.

     

    Petty is better one on one. Lever is better at reading the play. Both are elite defenders. 
    Petty will be an AA defender soon.

    Lots of positives, but Salem still a concern.

    Great to Sparrow having a decent game, he was pretty ropey last week.

    I agree.  Salem has completely lost confidence. Three weeks in a row.

    This game will come down to fitness. If we get it out to 30pts I’d expect it to be shutdown, but that is unlikely. 
     

    Dogs will come out revved up.
     

     

    As we chalked up at 27 point lead we were on our way to winning another clearance out the middle and a tiny bit of Hollywood crept in as Trac handballed to a marked Clarry and then somehow the Dogs got a quick goal. Another instance Gus takes a brilliant saving mark and scuffs his short pass. And then we get the howler of a Harmes kick. I felt the Dogs got back those last two because of our errors.

    It's a shoot out, we don't want one but that's what it is. We're doing OK but the Dogs have shown they can score and score quickly, we have some work to do to get this done and we have got to find another way to score other than centre clearance and we need more sustained periods on top.Must tighten up through the corridor in transition defending, their quick chaining through the middle is getting some results.

    Hopefully we start the 3rd with a sustained period locking the ball in our 50 then score a cheeky goal.

    it been a pretty good game so far, we have played some good football, but been a bit lax at time. I think we need to do more about when the opposition kicks in. we do not put pressure on the player kicking in we let them run and bounce the ball and gain another 40 meters. by that time they are kicking over our players heads. I wonder if harmes was trying to kick the goal rather than pass it. we are doing pretty well, time to come out and do what we do in the second half kick away, add some percentage so that we can take back top spot

    I think we play better at Marvel than the MCG. Salem looks like he’s struggling with what is role is at the moment.

    i do wish sparrow and Jordan would move the ball on quickly after taking a mark. they seem to ignore short passes that look a certaintly and go down the line to a contest.we play some of our best footy when we move the ball fast.

    We are seeing a different game tonight. Faster ball movement  creates scoring opportunities but we are being exposed a lot on the turnover. 

    .. as are the Bulldogs

    Seriously what has Harmes done tonight?

    Weid not sighted that quarter. 

    But it was a good quarter. Just can't let the dogs back in it.

    So it's only 1/2 time and we have already outscored last nights pathetic score. 

    Gee doesn't Fritta love playing against the dogs.

    No surprise Dogs leading the free kicks. Both quarters we let them in for late goals.

    Have we ever played them when they don’t get at least double our frees?

    • 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.
