A good lesson, can’t rely on veterans like May and Gone, way past it.

    Well you’re embarrassing 😳 

    Forgive me for being upset with a team I've supported for decades, who for the last few minutes did actually show what they are capable of except for the other hour and a half of the game.

    Was not a great performance from a vast majority and I'll stand by my post (even if I did edit it just before you quoted me to a more suitable descriptor :))

    As long as Gawn is ok , I’m fine with an 11 point loss against a contender on their slippery hole of a deck, without four of our top liners .

    They came out with a point to prove and our attitude was off most of the night.

    We will learn and move on , but we need Max , Kozzie and May in this team.

    Absolute garbage. We had a bad night compounded by the fact that the universe conspired against us. Salem, May, Gawn, and then greasy conditions that really suited them.

    All we could do at the end was come out and give it our all. That could be the most important 10 minutes of footy we play for the year. Percentage will spilt the good sides at the end.

    Im proud of that effort.

    Gotta take what you can get. Percentage trimmers count.

    A disappointing game. Just like our finals loss to the Lions last year.

    The game was basically lost after the 1st quarter to be brutally honest. Especially after losing Max Gawn to injury.

    But glad we kicked a few goals late to earn a small amount of respectability.

    Let's hope that Max Gawn's injury isn't too bad. Fingers crossed! 🤞

    I hope the flattering score line does not detract from the thorough review we need to carry out. Too sloppy, lacking intensity and creativity. Just really poor.

    Next week is a really tough assignment, I hope we bring the character we should have shown after HT. We’re a better side than the lions and we got done. The Swans are a better unit. We will need to lift big time.

    Don't fear Brisbane one bit.

    Give us Kozzie, May, Salem and Gawn back in and we beat them comprehensively. 

    💯 Brisbane are not very good - we beat ourselves tonight.

    That's what makes the rest of that performance all that much worse.

    We can play like that - we just proved it. We should play like that - We didn't. Why didn't we play like that? I don't know, but I'm not happy about it.

    Bizarre. Lose our best player and talisman just after the first bounce. Horrible at the coalface. Horrible hitting targets inside 50. 11 point loss. 

    I fear the worst for Maxy. I don't think it's a coincidence that his three closest mates at the club, Clarry, Trac and Gus were flat as a tack from that moment on.

    The four pillars that make the engine humm and help others to contribute were all off (or not present tonight)...

    Maxy

    May

    Tracc

    Clarry

    To be -14 in contested and -20 in clearances at half time says it all.

    To be pantsed in the first half by a mediocre away team and flat track Gabba bully Is a real worry.

    Won’t listen to any analysis on this game. We already know why we lost and when given the extended break, had time to get our collective minds clear and play the Melbourne way!

    So comprehensively beaten around the contest. We got bin diesel'd.

    Can't agree with that. We showed absolutely 0 signs that we were going to end up with a score like this before the power dropped.

    8 minutes in one quarter didn't cost us. Three and a half quarters of playing well below our standards did.

    The scoreline flatters us.

    After 1/4 time but prior to the lights going out

    Lions 8.5 to 6.3.

    I agree though, they kicked 4 goals in 7 minutes in that first quarter period where we were a bit stunned with Gawn going off, Grundy was on the bench for half of it, and we were obliterated in the centre clearances. Had to play catch up footy from there and were still 2 goals behind before the lights went out.

    I don't get what you mean by this.

    If the game can continue, it has to. Percentage matters (and don't forget how beholden the AFL is to betting agencies who take bets on margins and goals kicked and disposals and all that stuff).

    Viney really off - presume will be better for the run, same with Fritta.

    Harmes not so flash.

    Time to consider our forward line for the future.

    Obviously lost the game on clearances.

    We were just off tonight, it happens.

    Last 11 minutes were kinda fun.

    Wish the lights had gone out in the first quarter so we could have regrouped then. Hard to take much from the game when the team was clearly rocked by the injury. The spurt at the end of the first quarter killed the game. Not the first time a sports team has struggled to cope with a potentially serious in-game injury to a key player. It happens, they're human, just like we were all in a state of worry on our couches after the injury.

    Very glad we were able to salvage some crucial percentage.

    • 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.

      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

      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.
