Freo caught us on a bad day. everything went right for them, and we were rubbish. Days like that can happen during the season. They are trending downwards and we're pushing top 2 so I suggest we all move on from that defeat.

We are Melbourne supporters, BDA - If that is your real name - bloodletting and hand wringing is our love language.

    However it does hurt to think that if we got the job done against Freo (and GC should've also), they would be truly trending bottom 4. 

    Now it's hard to think they will fall more than the 12-13th position on the ladder.

     

    15th looks likely to me…

    Do folks really think we are any chance to trade up for Reid? I don’t, and I also don’t think that should necessarily be the goal. One player has never been our strategy.

    If we had lots of “needs” in our team …I’d agree. But we don’t…so I’d absolutely go for him

    We do like to wallow.

    it might help people overcome the close/unlucky losses if they also acknowledged the close/lucky wins. The suns should have beaten us so for me the freo game balanced the ledger.

    Port and pies have been more consistent so far this season. They deserve to be top 2. We’re leading the chasing pack which, on balance is exactly where we deserve to be.

    In terms of picks there isn’t that much difference between 5-10 which is the range we’ll end up with. JT will do his thing and find a quality player for us.

    What a mundane summary of our season do far. 

    Suns were never in front and we had 5 more scoring shots. Plus the JVR fiasco stopped a good run at the start of the quarter which helped Suns get back in the game. 

    In the Freo game yes they played better footy but we kicked the game away in front of goal.

    Also I suppose you thought we were lucky on Monday?  Well Pies  and Power have been best to date but are they going to be able to  maintain the rage? 

    Monday proved ( like in 2021) our footy often improves vs the top sides and now that May Lever Salo Fritta and Gawny have hit consistent form like in 2021 we are a much better defensive group and tighter as a unit all over the ground. 

    We are categorically better than a 5 - 10 position and are up to our eyeballs in this flag race.

    You’ve figured out how to use spell checker which is great cos now your posts are legible.

    Now you just need to read others posts properly. Read what I wrote and have another go at responding.

    I was simply providing a different opinion on your post reflecting on close finishes and predicting a 5 -10 finish as what we are worth. 

    Completely different view with a half glass empty and yours not even half full. 

    Cheers for now!

    Not related but I saw maintain the rage and could only think of an episode of Rage that goes for a really long period of time.

    Next week

    Sydney vs Eagles

    Suns vs Hawks

    Freo vs Essendon

    This will make a lot of people feel dirty but we want an Essendon win to put freo back down to 14th. Blues have a bye and then face the Hawks. If they get up there and Freo also drop their following game against the dogs then we're back looking at a top 4 pick.

    Freo vs Carlton is a huge 8 point game and Freo's remaining games are against the Pies, Swans, Cats, Lions, Eagles, Port and Hawks.

    Eagles the only gimme game there.

    Hopefully the Giants (and Tigers) keep improving to weaken GWS' draft hand...

    Would put us in the front running for Reid...should we elect to go that way

    I did once coz DL (collectively) told me to. 😆

    At one point I caught myself muttering under my breath “come on Jake” (Stringer) and forgot all that’s good in the world. I knew I was mere minutes away from “come on Jakey” so I stopped barracking for them and it turned out we won the flag regardless. 😃

    • 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

    • 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.
