Effort 9/10

Kicking 5/10

General skills 6/10

Great gutsy effort again Dee's but once again let down by poor skills. Fact is we should be 2 / 5, we should have won both the last 2 games by several goals, but let down at crucial times by poor skills and decision making. That said it is fantastic to see them having a real go, that is all you can ask of them, they just are not quite good enough to compete with the better sides, but they will win a number of games this year (will be in single figures though). There would have been no point making the finals anyway, we would have gone no-where. May as well experiment now with players and game plans and just see the year out as also-rans.

    As for ND well really i think one more year wouldn't hurt.. he does bleed for the club and without all these injurys i think we could have been a top 4 club these year but oh well. i wsh them well for the rest of the year! ;)

    I agree, ND deserves another year. They have not fallen away despite the bad start to the year, that is a credit to him and he does bleed for them, you only had to watch him in the coaches box to see that, plus the injuries have taken a big toll. But I don't believe we were top four material. Our backline is not nearly strong enough. There will have to be some ruthless cutting back and smart recruiting for us to be more than a top six side next year.

    I have a feeling our culture is turning around.

    Our culture won't even start to turn around until we stop patting the players on the back for losing, regardless of effort. We have a definite and long-planted losing culture at MFC.

    Oh yes, you are totally right.....

    We should all rag on them with relentless criticism and abuse until their ears bleed and their eyes roll back in their heads

    Yep, that will definitely help ;) :angry: !!!

    As previous posts - happy with the effort, absolutely gutted by the loss. BUT I can see we're not too far. As long as we keep up the pressure in games, we will come through.

    The Boys put in the effort in, which counts most. Once we chalk up that first win, I think we can string together a few wins.

    Hopefully it can be this week.

    You cant change or turn arond anything unless you clearly understand and appreciate where you are exactly and where you have to go to change it. We have had a terrible start to the year for a number of reasons some of which are beginning to turn around postively and we need to appropriately recognise that.

    I find the flogging players continually after a loss is merely self serving of the deliverer and of little use to the recipients.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
