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.

    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.

    Embarrassing performance so far

    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 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 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.
