    Who is our genius forward coach?

    How we didn’t seek a new coach at the end of last season is beyond me.

    I tell you hwat, any chance Petracca, Laurie, Howes, Van Rooyen, Schache and Chandler don't fumble the ball?


    Sweet Jesus that goal was a slog.

    The whole quarter. 

    I don’t want to say much for that half other than I think Howes has looked good.

    Otherwise dropped marks galore, sloppy strange kicks to nobody/wrong team, wasted chances, terrible i50.

    Yuck.

    Blake Howes grew into the game but you have got to punch in humid conditions not go for the mark 1 on 1.

     

    Thank god for our full forward and centre-half-forward Eddie Langdon and Jack Viney for kicking the goals for us tonight. Honestly lads that was atrocious. Surely this isn't the gameplan? Either the players are absolute morons or the coaching staff are. I don't care which but we need to figure it out pronto.

    Hard to believe we ended up winning that quarter.

    Howes looks OK.

    Petraca has to play like Dustin Martin, he isn't at the moment. Too scared to have a crack at goal.

    Laurie, not impressed.

    JVR needs to do something in the 2nd half.

    Somehow we are only 7 points down

    Too many passengers. 2Q thoughts:

    - Thank goodness for Windsor

    - Oliver looks undercooked

    - Gawn doing well

    - ANB, Salem and Howes playing well

    - Laurie and Schache having a mare

    Is not up to it.

    Chin shows more endeavour and effort but unfortunately neither of them are up to the challenge so far.  Laurie's a wet rookie.  Chin's had a few more goes.

    Chin hasn't performed since about round 8 or 9 last season and only minor impact since returning from his (too) short stint in the mcgoos.

    Too easily pushed off the contest for mine.

    I can only imagine he’s a training hero, loves a practice match (hey he was good against Carlton last week) but he shows nothing when the game means something.

    All throughout the pre-season the talk that we would improve and be better... So far we look as bad as last year, inside 50 galore for 1 miserable goal. Btw Oliver looks underdone.

    And for the life of me I didn’t see a single finger on ANB’s goal. Not sure how they made that decision so quickly.

    Atrocious conditions, play the conditions don't try to be too cute.

    This is wet weather conditions play the percentages.

    Same problems with our accuracy.

    Looked horrible but only 7 points down. Badly need to sharpen up our skills. My eyes were bleeding watching that.

    no doubt the AFL are happy they scheduled these two teams for the season opener. 

    Yeah, this is proof the AFL don’t think things through. 2 teams built on defence. Just what the casual fan doesn’t want. And all because they are too busy worrying about what the NRL is doing, instead of focusing on their own product.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
