Apart from rounds 1-2 our midfield have been belted all year. wtf is going on in our engine room? Max is having his best season in 5 years and the rest are [censored] the bed.

    righto. i’m off to my super important BS meeting

    ill be checking this thread though so no spoilers!!

    Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

    I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

    It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

    I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

    For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

    heads must roll

    if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

    Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

    can we please have a proper crack in this half and restore some respectability.

    Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

    That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

    Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

    Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

    when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

    Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

    What do you want me to do? 

    - 16 contested

    Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

    Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

    Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

    Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

    What a good start to the second half

    Good night.


    Touched but camera the 1975 model.

    Our midfield is really broken.

    Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

    That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

    Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
    So…. Ummm… yeah 

    The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

    That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position.

      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.
