    Does Harmes know which team he is playing for?

    We just don’t look like a top 4 team at all. Groundhog Day at this point with our conversion.

    Bedford doing what kozzie used to re pressure. I dunno what’s happened to this side. They’re tough at it i’ll give them that but playing with no sense of purpose and kicking with no confidence .

    Kozzy is a ghost on the field. Always watching the players carrying the ball, never going after them. Wants the easy ball.

    Agree, but questions need to be asked about our coaches and strategy also. 

    Whatever we are trying to implement forward of centre is not working on game day. Our defence and midfield work is top 4. Our forward line work is bottom 2. Very frustrating to watch watch. The skill level in the forward 50 is not afl standard. Very 2019 looking . 


    the only thing that half was missing was the junk time goal at the end.

    This is all just more deja vu. Our forward play and goal kicking are bottom 4 not top 4. 

    Toby Greene is going to win this game for the Giants. I just know it.

    14:1  Frees advantage

    Look out for 2nd half eveneruppers

    Given that, our dominance going forward, and just general control of play, we are entering Carlton territory of performance at the moment. 

    Let's not forget that over the past 12 months we're a slightly better than 50% win team.

    How relevant are our "premiership metrics" after that half?

    Cannot fault their effort. Can fault their brains and skills. This all feels very familiar. 

    Yep and behind the ball we are excellent. But it’s like our brain goes into full blown meltdown when we go forward. 
    I have never seen so many elite players do so many dumb things when a goal is in sight. 
    It has now become endemic and we can’t seem to fix it. 
    Of course losing our best forward doesn’t help. We are absolutely done if Fritta is out long term.

    Honestly we are just painful to watch 

    This is the reason why Port winning last night was good for us. We are not top 2 material. if we make top 4 and things don’t change, it’s only because we’d have fallen in.

    One thing about ANB that I have noticed, he has a habit of not competing but holding back and than tackling the player who has won the ball.

    I see the opposite, often in first for a crumb, but constantly tackled immediately

    I know the ball is wet, but has Tracc hit a single target today? And Harmesey. Fair dinkum. In the clear on the wing late in Q2, signals to the intended target and then kicks it out of bounds. We don't deserve to be in the eight.

    True. Pauline is adamant it’s his ankle. I told her the Club are reporting it’s his foot. She said it depends on who you talk to from the Club. She spoke to Fritta himself. 

    If you can get us a half time update that would be great. 
    I gave up on this game and am in full blown Fritta is dead meltdown mode.

    What a joke of a footy team up forward.

    Just there is a lot of wrist slashing here as usual. Completely dominated the half, but failed to execute on the scoreboard. That’s the end of the story. Listening to BT and Jones, who doesn’t want to appear biased, barracking for GWS is worse than the goal kicking

    We will get run over in the second half, spent a lot of energy kicking points

    This game will be lost at selection. Grundy/ Gawn and BBB in f50 together is so horribly wrong. That trade has ruined our teams cohesion.

    Just get it and kick it long out of the back. I don't care if it goes out on the full on the back flank, better than loose in the goalsquare.

    • 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

    • 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.
