Gawn - an Herculean effort

Viney - quiet after first

Petracca - amazing second half

Oliver - many irrelevant possessions 

May - passion and heart

Lever - had little input

 Bowey - an important game

Rivers - was surprisingly quiet

Salem - slow and loose

McVee - often out positioned 

Smith - had limited opportunities 

McDonald - needed more involvement 

vanRooyen - will be suspended 

Fritsch - still wearing moonboot

Pickett - an almost game

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted

Sparrow - better second half

Chandler - little to praise

Hunter - slow decision making

Hibberd - slow but tight

Laurie - was seemingly overwhelmed 

Langdon - better second half 

 

Langdon got slaughtered by old man Sidebottom, let's not sugar coat it.

 

 

Brayshaw - unmercifully cleaned up

Neal - Bullen - joeboy book specsavers

Forgot about Bowey. 

Take a bow.

That's a lot of poor efforts noticed Joeboy but sadly true.

And we almost won.


Gawn - Huge Heart.  Herculean effort. Huge   

Viney - flew the flag then tried but overall not at his best at all

Petracca - nowhere in 1st half / lifted to almost bring us home in the second half, but learn to tackle , often easily pushed away or evaded 

Oliver - tried and tried and tried but many many irrelevant possessions , got better and nearly lifted us 

May - looked out of sorts early but lifted to one of the best Dees in the night - such passion and heart

Lever - big on spoils , had a few brain fades , why didn’t we keep Turner in so Lever could be intercept defender  

 Bowey - good and almost very good. Safe in disposal… an important game

Rivers - where was his energy. No go tonight … was surprisingly quiet

Salem - ummm he’s not the player of 2021 … looked slow and loose

McVee - good game … Hill got 2 early but Judd was break even tonight

Smith - had his chances - rather see him in defence  

McDonald - retire now … slow … cannot turn … 3 minutes - 2 goals 

vanRooyen - young colt - raw - overawed -  will be suspended 

Fritsch - brain fades … almost good … his defence is non existent  - players brush him off  learn to tackle !!! 

Pickett - an almost game as usual - brilliant and poor in so many passages - could have won it but it’s often a case now of almost !!! 

Neal-Bullen - good in patches - a defensive forward 

Sparrow - nowhere in 1st half then better second half

Chandler - did he play? Looked lost  

Hunter - gets the footy BUT slow to dispose of footy - must improve decision making

Hibberd - very good as stopped Elliott all night

Laurie - no no no  was lost  almost delist now 

Langdon - yes he was Sidebottom gimp but got much better in second half 

Edited by spirit of norm smith
P

McDonald - needed more involvement. 
 

That’s putting it lightly.

ANB 'Was rarely sighted" Standard comment by Joeboy on Alex ,who played a bloody good game.Not his fault we lost.

Rivers - Feature article curse


Max Gawn deserves to win another flag. He is arguably the best player I’ve ever seen play for Melbourne.

A god amongst mere mortals. His [censored] plays better football than Mason “I’m a yank thug” Cox. 

Once again our backline delivered. I swear they must pull their hair out. Kept Pies to 60 points and watch our forwards blow 30 chances to score two measly goals in the last quarter. 

I haven’t been his biggest fan this year, but Max was immense tonight. A pity that most didn’t follow the example that he led by.

The forward line was disappointing all night, as was the delivery into it.

As for TMAC - I’m sorry, but even a 1-legged Melky would’ve done better tonight. And I have no idea what we see in Smith, he is well entrenched in our bottom 6 and yet he manages to hang around on the list (I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he is not an AFL quality player).

Kozzie just needs to be told to go out and have fun playing footy, his heads all at sea.


Langdon & Hunter we’re so soft, in a final you’ve got to put your head over the ball, both ineffective 

Club - Giant Brain Fart

Harden up & link up boys or it's out in straight sets again!

ANB was pretty good.

Clarry 750 metres gained. Not useful?

Grabbing the ball and kicking it forward as far of you can to an intercept is not what we need from him

 

Melbourne: Lower your eyes

Melbourne: Do not Panic

Wrong on Neal Bullen


Laurie, Back to Casey 

Oh wait!

Kossi  an almost game

    Needs to put meat on his obvious talent.

Perfect analysis. 

 

I am so frustrated with this loss.  Seems yet another wasted opportunity.  No real connection in the forward line and looks like we lose Roo.  But, I cannot understand why we re-signed Schache.  A former number 2 in the national draft, us being his third club, he clearly is not up to standard and as a result, we don't select him to play, when we are in desperate need of forwards.

Yet we select a bloke that has only played 2 VFL games in 4 months.  I have the utmost respect for TMac, but sadly, I think the game has passed him by.  

We have seen the lack of separation in our forward line several times this year, yet we dominated inside 50's last night.  Surely our coaches can come up with a better plan that what we appear to have at the moment.  So bloody annoyed.

Re Tommy and Smith - best available and probably neither picked now as forwards were Petty Melksham BBB fit and available.   
But I believe they will both be needed next week especially as the impartial MRO and former Collingwood player feels the need to flex his muscles and JVR gets done (as he will).

  • 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.

    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.
