Can someone explain what has happened to this side? Did we really just beat up on minnows all year?

We beat Geelong in Geelong comfortably and North nicely. Nearly beat Adelaide with a stirring comeback. 

Everything went well until the final round and we’ve been hopeless since.

Some injuries are a factor. Lost continuity in the second half of the year and missing Sherrif (best pressure forward) and Lampard.

Eliza West has looked heavy legged all year and she’s our best inside bull.

Backline has had vulnerable moments with the Birch birching, Gay battling injuries and the pace of the game catching Goldy out.

But really I think Brisbane rattled them with physicality and they haven’t recovered.

Rather than step up to the physicality that finals require they’ve shirked it. Non stop panicking, terrible work rate and the skills are a mess.

Is that now one goal in 8 quarters.

Yep.

Remember when we used to strangle teams?

We're choking big time.

 

YES!!


finally a goal

Finally, we got a lucky bounce at half back that sets up a goal.

Game turned a little in that last 5-7mins. Desperately needed that goal. Absolutely must kick the first after half time. 

Need to next 4 goals to be honest !!!!

Commentators kept saying that we hadn't scored a goal in 7 quarters of football yet we scored one towards the end of the 4th quarter last week.

The commentators keep saying we’re goalless for 7 consecutive qtrs. I thought we kicked one last week?

we seem to be playing too far up the ground.

Geelong seem to have 3 t the ball against our 1 competing.

Paxy unusually quiet, is she being tagged.?

Think most of the team has been tagged so far!

Pretty good summation.

Really lucky we got that goal on the siren.

Do we need Banno right up the field to try and break the lines.

She seems wasted deep in the forward line.

Not sure how we spark our midfield.

We're really not handling the extra finals pressure well, yet this team did exactly that to win a flag last year.

We are capable.

We seem mentally fatigued.

What will Stinnear do to fire them up?

 

How is Bannon going?

Could she actually be more frightened of a contest?

Get her on the wing where she can run.

These commentators are really delighting in our struggles.  They keep on saying that incorrect fact repeatedly, even lamenting that it could have been 8 quarters if not for Gay.  Could someone please go stuff a sock in them??

Coach hasn’t realised finals is about contest and territory. Still trying handball to clear space but Brisbane and North and now Geelong have closed the space.

Get ball, kick ball. Next contest.

They're getting ball, kicking ball straight down their opponents throat though.

More accountability as well? No blind kicking.

That goal was desperately needed to say the least. Guess I'll have to keep paying attention to this one.

The commentators are the least of the problems.

 

 

Seems some change is needed. Even if its a change to return to the way we played all season.

Do you keep doing what your doing or do you change?

A full return of confidence will win this, not the static reactivity and panicked disposal of the that half. Swap Zanker and Harris through the centre square, and play through them at all costs. They won’t lose a contest, and if we put muscle and run at the drop, with Kate Hore leading from the square, we’re away!

    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.
