This thread has once again turned into a “woe is me, we have the worst team and our coach is awful” joke.

Why can’t we comment about issues without resorting to degrading our best forward or getting stuck into our premiership winning coach? 
Not everything is perfect, but [censored] you’d think we are North Melbourne.

    absolute rubbish

    gawn - tried him as a 50% forward

    plugger mac - moved him forward then moved him back

    petty - moved him forward

    pickett - from a small forward and now more into the midfield

    petracca - inside / outside midfield rotation

    completely correct. ive corrected him with dozens of examples in the past but he’ll stick to his incorrect view.

    We’ve introduced run and carry to a team that can’t run or kick, and therefore increased a bunch of turnovers.

    Then we’ve added trying more aggressive kicks to stationary targets rather than sharing the ball to runners then leading to space to ease the burden of those kicks.

    And by playing so defensive at stoppages our mids end up chasing their tails or panic kicking.

    The dominant factor of our premiership side was handball and explosion from the stoppage. That’s our 1 wood to quote David King. Why would you take that away?

    Now our game plan relies on a bunch of young half backs trying to kick to a midfield that has poor spread and skills. It’s so flawed 

    Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

    It is how it works though

    and club presidents stand by, mute

    That’s the problem - clubs don’t speak out .Are they scared ? Of what ?

    I think we will kick up a gear and win this. All we need is more drive from the midfield.

    The non free kick against Reid for holding the ball really annoyed me. Thats holding the ball against 99% of players. 

    You can’t adjudicate the rules differently because you want him to keep taking the game again. Thats not how it works.

    Cripps (CFC) and Reid have special rules.

    Have some faith. We aren’t playing well and lost one of our most important players in terms of winning the ball back in the first minutes.

    Hopefully we can reset with a new plan at half time and come out firing.

    Go Dees!

    We are Garbage, reality check on agenda! We thought it a walk in the park!

    It's actually fun watching Harley Reid bully our mids.

    Kid is a genuine star.

    Which begs the question. Why don't we ragdoll his [censored] off like every other team does to our mids?

    Don't worry, I already know the answer. We'd get pinged.

    West Coast look like they have five more players out there.

    Umps aren't interesting in pinging wc for htb.

    Not gonna happen.

    On queue, we give away the first goal.

    Goodwin words on Fox Footy just empty words.

    We're too slow between the arcs.

    Midfield has no depth, been saying this for 2 yrs.

    We have defenders, so so forwards, a whole heap of utility types and a very shallow engine room.

    The list is out of balance becaus it is too tailored to structure and control.

    Relying on Gawn, Trac and Oliver in the guts and May/Lever to intercept every week is not a gameplan.

    Win or lose today I think we're in trouble going forward.

    If lever wasn't injured I'd move Tmac fwd.

    He's having a bad night.

    Obviously not alone.

    Are we training too hard . We look so flat again.


    Lol do our defenders not want to play on a man? How does Liam Ryan just casually get off so easily.

    How was supposed to manning Ryan? 

    Seriously horrid defending

    West coast playing a different game. Great kick in, ryan takes the game on and creates the goal

    Coaching staff accountable at some point?

    Not sure what will be the future, we do have some young guns. Very disheartening after 2021.

    Bring your mouth guards monday boys.  And learn how to tackle.  This is pathetic.

    • 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

    • 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.
