For all the doom and gloom, we are still in this. Massive rocket needed at half time. 

Totally agree, as usual we're competing and defending well and can win this and then the same old thing.

Gotta ask about selection decisions again and our forward set up.

Fritsch seems to have the confidence of a 16 year old boy in a brothel.

Schache did not chase his opponent at one point

We also aren't physical enough. A number of times we didn't put body on opponents to protect their team mates who had possession.

Salem seems to be the only player right now who has consistently clean foot skills.

    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

    I have given up on Laurie, not sure he'll get too many opportunities this season.

    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.

    Disagree. Players are having cracks at goal and missing when they should be handing it off to players in better positions. That's nerves. They all want to be the man to fix our forward line issues, when the way to do it is to hit someone in a good spot with low pressure on them so they can kick it. It's not a hard concept to grasp but in the heat of the moment we all seem to go to pot and spray it.

    Is JVR playing as a CHF or a deep forward?

    Gotta be the worst half of footy I’ve ever seen Trac play.

    Schace is too meek, can’t see him ever changing.

    Looks slippery as hell out there

    Disappointed that we debut Billlings as sub, particularly after our media team made a big deal over our three debutants this game. Surely he deserved his spot after the praccies over a couple of others out there.

    The finger did look to flicker as the ball passed through, not like we deserve much to be honest.

    It was clearly touched.

    Can’t believe we are that bad yet only 7 behind. The SCG is such a horrible ground, so congested. Awful game

    I dont think Fritta could hit the proverbial barn door even if he is locked in th e barn.

    Trac needs to do something

    Debutants ok

    May fantastic

    JFC I am sick of those finger nail goal reviews from 40 meters! They all go against us. I don’t think the Swans even claimed a touch.

    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. 

    I’m glad I’m not the only one, sickeningly BT was the only one that actually said “hold on I’m not seeing a finger move there”. All for the decision changing when it’s blatantly clear, but to me there wasn’t absolute evidence of a touch.

    It's so ridiculous. They seem to be being tricked by the lighting changes as the hand and fingers rotate as the ball passes, plus there's the shadow from the ball. A terrible blight on the game to overturn decisions on such inconclusive evidence.

    Goody should put him on early in the 3rd for Laurie. Why wouldn't you exchange an ammo's level player for a proven silky mid with great skills?

    I can’t stand the media orchestrating the AFL’s agenda. Why no replay of the ANB touched goal? It’s a huge call, show it.

    Same old problems throughout the first half.

    Forward line almost non-existent. Too many long bombs, with Van Rooyen constantly outnumbered and outmarked. Chandler and Spargo totally ineffective.

    Laurie managed four fumbles in two minutes.

    Fritsch off target with his kicking and dropping marks.

    Gawn unable to dominate.

    Defence the only bright spot, with Howes looking solid.

    If Goody doesn't come up with a plan B, we are cooked for tonight.

    Incredible decision, just guess work.

    Fritta gets out muscled at every contest. No body strength at all. So frustrating 

     

    The umpires call was a goal and it was over ruled. Wrong!

    • 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.
