Flag favourites?

Best defence in the league?

All Australian ruckman?

Essendon shouldn't score 64 for the whole game, let alone in a half.

Maybe we just aren't as good as what we think we are. And don't blame Lever being out.

If we all didn't know it already, Rick is clearly crucial to having an organised back 6. 

Agree but this is our biggest issue imo just like when Max went down. Good teams find a way to win with injuries, one soldier out one soldier in. 

Playing with 1 ruck against 2 is hurting us badly. And Grundy isn’t the same strong body in a pack like Max. Missing the big man big time.

Grundy needs to lift as well, has looked second rate defensively against two ruckmen who have kicked half of their goals. 

Absolutely disagree with that assessment…but agree that we are being thrashed aerially ..in fact ..everywhere…

He isn’t underdone. He’s trained this morning. We didn’t play him because we expected rain. 
 

Goody said he woke up with back soreness.

Where's TMac and Melksham?

 

Melksham has 2 goals, could have easily been 3.

Tmac has 2 touches, 0 marks, 0 tackles.

 

Macca and Petty both a massive fail that half.

Swap them

Mate Lever and Max out, that's a big loss. We would be intercepting most of Essendon entries if said 2 players were on the ground.

I can't remember the last time we conceded over 60 points by HT

Last week Essendon only kicked 11 goals for the whole game

5 minutes off according to the radar.

His disposal has been haphazard but he's been getting the pill. Our backline is lost and we have no tall to take a mark inside 50. Jvrs 3rd game and you can't blame him. Huge error not playing Bbb.

Had to give a reason for the late change. We all know it was a weather move. 
TMac is cactus. He cannot compete. Gives you nothing.

 

Petty has been under par most of the season 

Egg on face.

any hope?
 


Our big men need to play like big men.  Grundy is great below his knees but not giving us enough defensively in the air; same goes for the other talls forward and back.  Credit to Essendon, they have a strong plan and they are executing it well.

Yes, disposals all over the place. Sometimes he should run and carry the ball, he doesn't.

Had a feeling we’d be physically and mentally flat with back to back road trips.

Credit to Essendon unfortunately.

It’s round 5. Inexcusable.

Right call not to play another tall, we’re already getting chopped up by Essendon runners, but it should’ve been Brown in, if healthy, and T Mc out.

We’ve been seduced by Tommy’s flat track goals against the eagles reserves 

Stop blaming the backline, if the damm pill is coming in with ease the flood gates will open, no forward line, midfield just not pushing hard enough, stop with hand balling to someone running on the inside when there is no one to go in the next passage of play.  As for the Spargo, umpire was correct, he is know for ducking the head, stop with Kossie in the middle get him just in the forward line.

Absolutely agree, would have thought steven would have stepped up in Jake's absence, to be fair to the backline the ball is coming in pretty hot from the centre too which always makes it harder.

  • 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.

  • 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.
