Sounds stupid given a 0.0 to 5.0 first quarter but I really didn’t feel like the score reflected the effort. It was our usual arm wrestle first quarter but the score somehow didn’t reflect.

This game was a freak anomaly for mine. 

Our midfield were sound asleep at the start.

It's happened three times this year.

What are they doing before the game. Watching TV?

The touched may goal review wtf

Dump tackle from JVR which was a goal.

That two decisions from resulting goal scenarios where is the technology AFL?

We were [censored] in the 1st yes, but this happens in a final, they've got to be full time professional put the chip in the ball.

I didn’t see an “arm-wrestle” first quarter at all. I saw us getting completely owned by a side who chose to turn up to the game on time. 

 

Normally pretty depressed after a loss like that but how proud of the boys. Magnificent. Definitely take 6/3 and finally shove the five day breaks. 

When May touched Curnow’s goal and they brought out the Nokia 3310 camera for the score review I knew it wasn’t going to be our night.

 


Most one sided 1 pt loss in recent memory. The fightback was excellent, I'm sure plenty will read way too much into it but I'm proud they never gave up.

Smashed at centre clearance. Carlton kicked 5 from CC and that was really the difference.

Don't kid yourself, we deserved to win that. That pretty obviously touched by May "goal" and the dangerous tackle call too. Thats a moral victory and shows us that when we bring our best out, we are incredible. Just need to tidy up the first halves.

Melbourne copped an owies.

The equivalent in Portuguese is doi doi. 

I know this, as I currently live with a Portuguese kid with a fondness for scissors. 

But if he got caught in a perfect tackle and hit his head: holding the ball little mate.

the first half was a confident Blues carried by the umpiring favouritism 

third quarter was a slow wresting back with umpires not dominating and paying melbourne free kicks in the back half

last quarter as melbourne surged and game played inside our fifty the umpires had to invent a few decisions to ensure the result.

Im going to look at the replay but would like to see the free kick stats distribution .


6-3 after a tough opening fixture is a very good position to be in. Still well in the hunt for top 4.

lets write off this loss and move on.

go dees

Clarrie is coming from a mile back, and we have no Gus. Sparrow hasn’t taken the step the club needs him too, and we are still fiddling with the balance of outside kickers and grunt.

Our midfield got absolutely spanked early, and have honestly had a pretty middling year.

Left the run to late

Had more scoring shots

Missed easy goals

Petty looking at you

Can't allow a team to kick the first 6

Review that 1st quarter goody

There's bound to be a few 'learnings' in there, for YOU, Goodie.

Us winning would have been highway robbery. 2nd best for 3 1/2 quarters by a long way

Great calming post.

Do you think the second quarter (score wise basically even) was a marked improvement in “effort”? 

I don’t. The game looked basically the same to me, we just found ways to score.

Curnow knew it was touched.

It only stings cause it’s that filthy club.

Our boys are made of the right stuff, we’re in this big time.

The better team, again, scored more shots but fluffed it (easy misses, a complete.no-show in q1) and was done by the umps (that dangerous tackle was simply fraudulent), but yet we walk away with nothing. Again. 

Proud of the boys for not giving up, but I really hate seeing the blues after these games. 


The media will say bugger all about the umpiring. An email will find them reminding who gives them accreditation.

Or Christian will give Roo a week suspension 

That will test the 'pudding'.....

 

How the hell did we allow them to score 5 goals from centre clearances. Midfield needs a kick up [censored] the big time.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
