POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

Can anyone clarify if Bowey was injured or if he was simply a tactical sub? If the latter, surely Turner, Petty or JVR would've been a better option to take off considering the conditions?

On that note, I thought Woewodin showed a bit when he came on. Nine touches in the final quarter.

    AFL will come out and say they made a mistake on that sling tackle free kick

    Which means we won, again, against Carlton, except for the umpiring.

    unbelievable.

    Yes but that's all they'll admit. Forget the 11 to 3 anomaly of putrid softies that helped a five zip insurmountable first quarter lead. The game was won with that and then lost by the one they might decide to admit.

    It's a double whammy.

    Because we were good enough in the end but despite the anomaly we were putrid at the start.

    Jack Viney was missing first three quarters. 

    Our 3 tall fwds were missing and with Fritta down that's all folks.

    Full credit to Tracca tonight.

    Anb was great for me.

    What a painful loss from a game that could have at least been a draw if we could have pushed a point on the first.

    Again to not score on the first quarter means our preparation is really out of whack.

    Are we meditating beforehand?

    It's a strange way to play.

    everyone knew how to beat the old melbourne- outside run and don’t  commit too many to the contest. 

     

    the new melbourne is harder to beat, so we helpfully do that ourselves with lousy score return on forward entries. 

     

    When do we think about a change of forward coaching personnel.  Everyone knows it’s a pattern. everyone knows  that’ if it’s fixed, we win big. 

    it’s been happening for years.

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

    we absolutely dominated the last half, 4 goals to 8.

    Worst 1st quarter I have seen since the Neeld era, just dont get it.

    Should have beaten these clowns.

     

     

    It wasn't that bad, first 10 minutes we were in

     There was a chop to the arm to Petty, should have been paid free kick in front of goal.

    Then we panicked after 3 goals from them, felt we needed to score ASAP and got sloppy.

    I would have subbed Woey on at half time. That was slow from Goody. Tracca fwd was great but Goody missed that one.

    “Hey @Binmans PA  remember when you so arrogantly shut me down after the Richmond game, when I said we were belted in the stoppages and out of the middle.”

    Remember how I said that would bite us in the [censored] against Carlton? Wheres your smug reply to this now?”

    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. 

    Nothing for the boys to be ashamed of as a result of that last quarter and their persistence in the third quarter beforehand. We know what happened, we know how it happened.

    We need to fix going for long periods without scoring. It's becoming habitual.

    Throw in the “Dangerous” tackle. The AFL is almost unwatchable. Once our Era is over, I think I’ll be reverting back to local footy.

    I am sorry for being too harsh on the team at HT.

    Great comeback and we deserved the win.

    Carlton are an ordinary team, will be making the numbers come September.

    • 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.
