On the plus side Oliver is only going to be better for the run.

It took a while for the midfield to gel again with him, but once it did we looked better.

 

The Gawn/Grundy experiment doesn’t work, Jacko was more mobile and could trouble the scorers, JVR needs to second ruck with another forward option for the remainder of the season unfortunately.

Not sure what you were watching Dazzle.  The review was one of the most amature reviews and we're supposed to be watching the game being played at the home of footy!!

Joke fest!

That I'll agree with, but aren't they all?

If we were relying on a score review to win the game then I don't know what to say.

 

Fumbliest game I’ve seen Melksham play.

Petty would’ve clunked at least a couple tonight and we may have won with Max in the ruck more.

im not too worried though, hurry up fritter!

I'm proud of the boys.

When they got out to an 18 point lead I thought we were done. But, we fought back well and you can't question their endeavour and effort.

Carlton were better on the night, but it doesn't change my opinion that I still think we're genuine contenders still.

The old bomb it long to a pack has recurred.  Can get away with it sometimes when Petty is there, but more importantly he leads and splits the defence.  Nobody seemed to eat and disperse the defenders tonight.

Gee, at the end do you reckon when they've got 18 players in defensive 50 there's any space to make a lead?

It infuriates me that, IIRC, the ARC never appeared to run the side-on and front-on angles together at the same time. 

Had they done so they would have realised the ball had passed his hand before that moment when they look like they might be touching. 

Anyway, nothing we can do about it. Need to focus on what is in our control (structure, selection), not what is out of our control.

So was it touched or are we all just being Melb fans?

The ball did not deviate. Nobody touched it. 
The AFL need to get 4K Cameras. It is amateur hour right now 

 

I hope the entire Club is very angry

The AFL do need to get 4K cameras that is true.

Got enough money.

Can't play open all the time, there are times we need to dump it in. I'm not convinced we can play that game if we need to. Hope to be proven wrong but the loss of Petty could well be the difference.

No you cannot do that all the time but you have to options like we did against the tigers and 3 and 3rd quarters against the roos, kossie and melk/chandler should go no further than the arc no matter what and that is the problem to many players in one half of the ground, blues just had players sit back.

How is that a question? Such a dangerous thing to do!

we are a system based team, and I reckon we went away from our system at the start and end of the last Q.

credit to carlton that they made that happen.

We are hard to play against, I reckon teams have to play differently to beat us.

Grundy doesnt play again, 

im more ****ty that Salem doesnt ice that kick than the score review and the JVR non free

GRUNDY SHOCKINGLY INSIPID CAN WE OFLOAD ASAP?

You're kidding aren't you? You didn't manage to notice he was the better ruckman tonight?

He certainly isn't a forward, but neither is Gawn

Really the video is a sham, grainy footage, no clear angles, for a multi million dollar sport its a joke, and please dont cofuse my statement with my level of disappointment, I would love to have pipped the blues again on the siren. 

If you want to see VAR done properly watch the soccer. AFL is a tight fisted joke

Exactly, they need to use the super slow motion cameras that are used in every other sporting telecast.

Sparrow trying to waltz through Newman and getting pinged was embarrassing 

Seemed to me that he took far too long to kick the ball on a couple of occasions too, wasn’t his best 

Just watched the slow mo in slow mo.  Missed his left hand, missed his right hand, missed his boot....

GOAL

No goal line angle shown to confirm any of that.

Like it or  lump it we was robbed folks

Imagine if that's for the premiership. 

And we call this a professional sport.  Hilarious

[censored] I hate Carlton. 

The bunch of meth heads around me could barely string a sentence together. 

I thought Richmond had the most insufferable fans but I've changed my mind.

Yes this should have been a free. Was about 10 metres from me and clear contact below knees I would have thought.

But the fact is, we lost. No do-overs.

We did go away from the system, last 5min was everyone trying to win the game off their own boot. Need to stick to the plans and not panic.

The ball was on the other side of his hand, see my screenshot.

You're actually right. 

Was watching vision just then. I only saw the initial vision which showed the vision coming behind Marchbank. That's where it looked like his finger deviate.

I just saw your screenshot angle in full version and he didn't even tough it and there's clearly a gap. Massive [censored] up there, but again, doesn't change my opinion that it was that one instance why we lost the game.

Rightio, I'll put my hand up and own this one. Apologies to everyone else.

    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.
