Only have ourselves to blame, very gettable game and year. 

 

I’ve not seen us looked that gassed before. We had nothing left to give.


I’m gutted. Tuning out for the rest of the the weekend 

Just a lesson in football. Brisbane, like Sydney last week, were just far superior to us. Luckily we got a good start but that wasn’t enough. We have the cattle but without good coaching it’s pointless.

 

If Sparrow is in our side round 1 next year we're finishing 12th 

gutted


Cannot begin to express what a letdown the last two weeks were. We just didn’t concede a huge run of goals last year. 

Cue in the rack at half time cost us!!!

Doing the same thing every single week for 2 1/2 years will eventually fail.

This has been a pretty pathetic second half of the year, regardless of whatever niggles come out during the week

This looked like several other games before, start well and get a lead and then fail to score for a long period. It was classic Melbourne of 2022.

A very weak response when in the defensive and couldn’t get goals to stem the flow. Such a poor performance for when it mattered most.

So many out of form players, need a few fresh legs in.

Probably the most predictable outcome ever. Had all the hallmarks of a vintage Melbourne loss at quarter time.

Surprisingly not that disappointed. Would rather go out tonight than watch us lose against a well-rested Geelong next week.


Going to take a few weeks off football

Looking forward to some good off season analysis

So many learnings

It's not been fun following the Dees this year I'm afraid

Poor selection, poor coaching, poor application. Totally unacceptable to be regularly run over in the second half. Sparrow, Rivers, Spargo, Jackson, Hunt not up to it. Pickett’s I’ll discipline is a real problem. So much for all the talk about wanting to perform for the fans at the G - yadda, yadda, yadda.  

Failure of a season.

Every single loss was the same where we get out to a lead of around 20 to 30 points and then get complacent and stop trying to win.

No imagination with team selection or style.

Half the team in on reputation while Casey had an all-time great saeason.

So embarrassed, what a disgrace, Goodwin can learn a lot from resting players earlier IMO. 


Umpires in last quarter 

50 against Pickett up other end goal

soft holding to McStay - goal

Bailey pushed Hunt square in middle of back - goal

Andrews chops Brown arm 15 metres out - no free

just to close out game umpire free against Lever not being tackled and 5Om to gift it

Umpires pathetic influenced result

 

Luke Jackson,now Faaark off to Perth,will be so [censored] if he stays.

 

Viney,no right boot,turnover,season over

 

Lever-dumbest thing i saw in football this season!!!

Lots to it. We were cooked, selection maybe exacerbated it, game plan etc etc.

Honestly think we'll be a lot better next year with improved fitness and luck with injuries.

On to the trade and draft board we go...

 

It really is inexplicable it has to be linked to fitness preparation. But the complete lack of football common sense and flexibility is astounding. Seriously we are back to the bad old days. Massive chance we slide down the ladder.

  • 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.
