    that quarter couldnt have gone much worse. everyone needs to pull their collective fingers out otherwise we on a hiding here

    We are not just Max Gawn. This is inexcusable. A poor showing from a team full of guns, supposedly pushing for a premiership.Ā

    I canā€™t recall a worse quarter from us since 2020.Ā 

    6 goals conceded (the Dogs probably kicked 6 in a quarter in Round 1 last year but it would be rare). Something like 15-0 inside 50s in the last 10 minutes. And I reckon all 6 of their goals have been from stoppage. Brutalised in clearances 16-6, losing CPs to boot. Not to mention fumbly and resorting to long kicks with no obvious target.Ā 

    Letā€™s hope it was a mulligan quarter.Ā

    I really hope a lot of people learned something today. You might want to be a pig-headed arrogant footy fan, you know? The type you despise so much in Geelong and Hawthorn fans. But this doesnt mean everyone else does. It's a two team sport and treating an opposition with caution is not a weakness.

    Brisbane have their tails up and we are still on the plane it seems. Could get ugly.

    Will be interesting to see if anyone wants to stand up for us.

    The fact that I donā€™t even care about how pathetically our midfield is playing, tells you how crushed I am about Gawn. This season could well be over.Ā

    Boy that is a shock, we look very second rate, second to the ball everywhere, except Lever. Oliver, Tracc, Viney look pedestrian. WTF is going on? Grundy needs to step up this quarter!Ā

    It looks like a suspected medial injury for Max Gawn, given he has ice on the inside of his knee.

    Not ideal, but certainly better than a potential ACL injury.

    Hardly any wins in the center from our rucks.

    All taps from Brissy at center bounces towards their goal and there's no defensive sweeper on that side for us.

    Allowing Brissy players to get it out of the middle too easily.

    Energy so far is right off.Ā  Second to the ball.Ā  Multiple Brissy players at the drop with Melb players trailing behind.

    Not looking good at all in the middle in particular.

    Silly tackle from Rivers on the first gamer!Ā  Amature stuff.

    Plenty of time to turn this around but not sure given the very ordinary start and flat feel from the armchair.

    At least three obvious holding the ball / incorrect disposal decisions not given.Ā  The ducking the head one wow!

    Umps a joke for stopping play for Zorko

    Surely a trainer on field for an uninjured player (if you can call zoeko that) is a fifty.Ā 
    umps have been very poor so far - didnā€™t see a duck and paid high, then did see a duck but didnā€™t adjudicate the prior opportunity correctly, canā€™t do centre bounces straight up. Bailey tackled and just dropped it, Cameron tackled and bounced ball on ground.Ā 
    But we are playing horrendous too which wouldnā€™t change the result of a very poor quarter.Ā

    Our performance so far reminds me of Richmond v Carlton, but worse.

    Is it only me or Brayshaw looks like he takes too many clangers inside our 50?

    • 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 Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™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 isnā€™t a standard conceptā€”itā€™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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnā€™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 Ā six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamā€™s unfulfilled potential rang true ā€¦ well, almost.Ā
