Petracca, Oliver and Viney will HATE the replay of this game.

And so they should. A lot of below average performances across the ground tonight so far.

That said - It isn't over until the fat lady is singing. She might be warming up her vocal chords, but we aint done yet.

    Tomlinson is not AFL standard.

    Would prefer Dan Turner, honestly.

    Gee a lot of people would have had you fooled last week on that one.

    Good god

    people throwing themselves off a cliff

    Top golfers spent 90% of their time not winning

    top tennis players spend 90% of their time winning

    footy = tennis

    This one is in our 10%


     There's losing and then there's getting done like a dinner.

    Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

    Really.  Few players have been played to their usual standards. Brisbane have been more switched on since the first bounce. 
    Agree we are being outplayed and no doubt Max going down has had an impact.

    So if they said they could rule out and then it was, would that be less demoralising?

    It is what it is, and we need to move on regardless.

    And what an absolute piece of excrement is Grant Thomas making those comments.  Just scum.

    Im watching it on Kayo what did grant say?

    Well I do hope that they (all) have a good long look at it, I hope they hate doing so.

    I reckon if Chris Scott coached us he’d have a lot to say about the variability of surfaces and conditions in Queensland versus Victoria in March.

    We won’t say a thing. Good.

    Beaten because we failed to execute the most basic non negotiables of our side. We got destroyed in every area that we generally excel at. Inexcusable. 

    Well yeah, pretty much. 

    But Lions have taken their chances, that's footy I guess.

    Are we at least going to make this an honourable loss. Big difference between drawing this to a couple of goals and a 10 goal loss. Might be a good start winning some clearances.

    No one in this team (or coaches box) is willing to do something to change the game. I don’t care if we turn into the skid, just do something.

    Sorry we are gone worst loss in 10 years!

    Anyone who thinks we are getting thumped because Brisbane are a far superior side, are being very kind. 

    Brisbane look ok. They’re handling the conditions better in the heat which is expected, but we have crapped out pants here. Can’t win a clearance. Losing contested and ground balls. Turning the ball over. The most un-Melbourne performance of the last 3 years.

    There are losses and then there are losses. This is making the Lions look better then they are. 

    The hype around us seriously gets to the players heads and we just turn up, expecting magic to happen. 
     

     


    I have no idea what our midfield has been up to tonight. The fumbles, the 0.5 handballing, but most of all the kicking. How bad have Viney, Brayshaw, Oliver and Petracca been by foot? The long bombs into the F59 remind me of Brent moloney. 

    But in that quarter some of the defensive efforts were insipid.

    I don’t think Grundy has taken a mark

    I do wonder if there’s more to the conditions. I never see Tracc and Oliver find it this hard to maintain control of the ball.

    • 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.
