Fourth quarter was so much better with the volume muted. Viney and Gawn the difference. Bowey and Sparrow had good games.

    Disgusting commentary by Dunstall, barracking for the Suns and calling umps decisions that weren’t even there.

    He made Bristle Taylor sound competent

    We don't win well, and we don't win easily, but we find a way. 

    Some massive deficiencies to be sorted out in our midfield. Some other deficiencies to be worked out in our F50. 

    In the last 5 minutes Rivers, Viney and Brayshaw were immense.

    Levi the difference, far out.

    Suns probably deserved too! Our maturity shone where there's didn't. 

    And we definitely had more favourable umpiring decisions in total.

    Happy to get the four points, but this type of game won’t win us finals.

    Collingwood and Geelong will bend us over like Mr Big in prison.

    We’ll make the 8 no worries but that’s about it.

    Backline aren’t playing like 21, May out of form, still don’t know what we’re doing with out forward line.

    0 stars. We were absolutely putrid. No winners.

    Defense so so so much better when Petty was down there. 
     

    The combination of Turner in and Petty forward totally ruined the balance of the team.

    When Goodwin tries to get cute bad things tend to happen.

    And breathe.....

    Jesus. that was exhausting to watch. 

    Fair play to GC. We were a little bit off tonight but a couple of times a year they pull a game like this out of the box. Killed us at the contest and clearance for a lot of the night and got the ball forward quickly before we could set up. I honestly thought we were destined to cough this one up after Fritta missed a sitter and they went down the other end and scored. 

     Onwards and upwards.

    Bank the 4 points and look to next week. I'd love to say we won't play so poorly again, but we will given  that it's already happened a few times this season.

    We've all seen that movie a billion times over the years but thankfully McPherson didn't put the dagger in. Actually, even then it was set up for an after the siren free kick and goal. Glad that the footy gods are finally going easy on us. To be fair, the Suns probably deserved to win it.

    We won the flag in 2021 on the back of our defense. Not sure that's going to be the case this year. I'm certainly not writing a champion like May off after a couple of poor games, but he's 31, it's almost a bonus if he doesn't start to gradually decline from here. Lever hasn't recaptured his AA form and I think we need Petty to stay back. We seem to be conceding much higher scores this season but thankfully scoring more ourselves. 

    Like seriously, how is Malcolm Rosas putting 4 on us?

    Agree, and they hung Turner out to dry , leaving him one out on casbolt the majority of the game. So undersized compared to him. Jvr needs brown back in. We need Petty back the moves are obvious hopefully see it next week.

    Two times we had 15seconds left in a quarter and gave them a look from a kick out. One of them they kicked a goal.

    Surely we can communicate how much time is left, find one short spot up kick and that ices 10 seconds and games over with a long kick down the boundary.

    FMD we need to find a key forward who can take the game by the scruff and impose himself. This is far from a premiership team atm

    It's a big concern, isn't it? The side doesn't look settled across any line, least of all the forward line.

    I hope Bbb can come back. Petty just doesn't really do and Jvr struggled.

    96 marks to our 66. 

    But our tackling was much better than theirs.

    Turner needs to stay in the reserves until he is physically ready. Petty needs to stay in the backline for the remainder of the year and our forward connection and centre work needs a complete overhaul.

    Not bad for a team currently on top of the ladder hey. FMD.

    No, but it will get us there. Was always going to be a tough game, and I will take any win from that. Again, we almost kicked 100 points, so even though the forward line needs work, we are still scoring. We will get better as the year goes on. No point playing your best footy now. As Goody always says, the season is a marathon, no point going too hard early

    • 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.
