So they’ve been talking about being a team we can be proud of. 

So far, no. Not tonight. The last few weeks of wins don’t count. Today is a real contender who has had a few bad weeks. Grand finalists. Who nearly and maybe should have won. We need to strive for consistency. Having a dip every single week. We’ll lose some of course, but this is not acceptable for a team who wants to contend. 

The deficit is likely too much. So. Will they play like a team that will make us proud or continue to serve up this slop? We got smashed everywhere again. Even tackles. The lions were clearly hungry.

Are we? 

 

Petty 0 disposals st three quarter time. I get the ball has barely got to him smoothly, but that's unacceptable. Surely you can position yourself to earn a free kick or something at some stage?!

Brown, jvr, fritsch, petty 7 touches between them at 3/4 time. Petty a duck egg

But there’ll still be people pinning their hopes that Petty is the great white hope based on 1.5 games of football last year. 

There is a complete lack of forward craft how Stafford still has a job has me beat and it has been this way since 22 and it shows up when the ball struggles to get into the forward line, players standing still standing and standing on the wrong side when the ball comes in.

    Yes, they haven't helped and haven't missed anything against the Bears, but we just aren't up to it on the night.

    1 tackle, no other stats.  Sad really.

    Are we in a Jackson 2.0 situation?

    We are losing 9 out of every 10 contests on the ground, in the air, and our link up handball around stoppages has been like a bottom 4 developing team.

    Our tall forwards are appalling tonight.

    Tholstrup nowhere near ready for the AFL. Our other younger players - Windsor, McVee and Woewodin - have all looked lethargic and stunned.

    Gawn, Sparrow, Chandler, Langdon and sometimes Rivers are having a crack.

    Have no idea where Oliver, Viney and Trac have been. It is so rare for all 3 to have an off night at the same time.

    All games have ebbs and flows but we have not shown even a 5 minute sustained period of excellence. 

    Very, very disappointing.

    It's all good guys. We are playing on a small ground, it’s very hot, humid and slippery. We will be so much better against the Tigers at the G under cooler conditions.

    Go Dees!!!

    Hopeless, [censored] hopeless tonight,

    This has been an ambush 2 weeks in the making.

    They'd been planning for this all during Gather round against North, whilst we were slogging it out playing 2 tough games.

    Didn't have a good feeling about this from this morning.

    Its a disappointing effort but at the end of the day its just one of those days.

    Not exactly, this is a game against a potential contender and we look nowhere near them. Mind you Brisbane is not excellent by any means, yet we look second class.

    Yea we did so well pinching those two wins we didn't worry about this one 

    Oliver is totally cooked.

    A liability for once.

    • 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.

      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.
