We lost clearance when it mattered, our tackles didn’t stick, we were undisciplined and gave away 3 goals from 50s,  our inside 50 method was horrible for most of the game again and we missed gettable shots.

Outfought, outmarked, outrun and outcoached by a vastly superior team on the night. In a  nutshell, totally outplayed. Only plus was Steven May's superb job on Buddy. TMac surely has to be considered for next week. 

Beaten. 
 

Beaten by intensity and a better coach on the night. 
 

Every normal Avenue we usually go to had a swans player ready to cut it off: 

 

We were beaten.

We have a 2-11-1 record against Sydney at the MCG since 2002.

let that sink in.

Yep I've been at the G for many of those losses. I really hate losing to them here. Or anywhere obviously, but especially here.

Angus Brayshaw - 20 disposals, 11 turnovers.

Back to the wing please.

 

Absolutely. He just isn’t good enough with his disposal for the middle.

2.57 on Sportsbet for the swans was blatant robbery

if you didn’t load up on that you have rocks in your head 

How's the bath water you're gulping down?

Sydney were very, very good tonight. They just played one of those games. 
 

We’ve played one of those games before. Just not tonight. 
 

Onward and upward.

Our forwards take no ownership.

  • Demonland changed the title to POSTGAME: QF vs Sydney
 

May two huge momentum killers when 16 and 12 points up.

Angry reacts only


Beaten by a better team, no need to panic 

We were a little bit off outside of a couple of patches, very confident we will bounce back against the Lions next week

lots of teams who win multiple flags have lost qualifying finals

I feel sorry for the Victorian fans who had to wait 12 months to experience that rubbish

 

Wish the boys had of thought about us poor Vic supporters. Very hard to watch. Wish Goody would've made changes in the second half. Having blind faith in the system doesn't always work.

Not sure what much more Oliver could have done. Oliver was simply incredible. 

Sydney were simply awesome, no team would have beaten them tonight,

But or forward line has some work to do otherwise our season ends next week or the one after.

Gus did not lose us this game. Too many mistakes by too many, and too few putting in. Thank god for May and Oliver, or it would have been a walkover.


Write the game off ... just a bad night.  Sydney were just too good and they taught us a lesson

But we've got the double chance so all is not lost.  We live to fight another day

We'll go with the same line-up I believe and I'm confident we'll beat Brisbane

Do that and we are in a PF

Oliver, May and Petty aside, we were weak, fumbly and unfocused. 
 

I have said all season that our best is the best, but we have been at our best only a small handful of times this year. Today we were below average. Midfield was an embarrassment and forwardline performed as it has all year, badly. 

Going to have to beat the Lions and then Collingwood or Geelong to make it. and i'm guessing Sydney again in the grand Final.


Just not our night.

ANB was horrible, Melksham would have lost his spot, LJ was shocking. 

Add Salem to that lot. Putrid disposal again. Bring Bowey back.

Forward line disappears after half time need more structure and a CHF. Not a makeshift one like Gawn/Dogga.

  • 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

  • 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.
