Now that was unacceptable.

Great fightback MFC.

You can go to Adelaide now Petty.

When will Goody drop him?

Never 

Can Petty take Goodwin back with him?

    From the ground, there was plenty of want and intensity, particularly early. All the indicators said we should have been much closer at half time - on top in clearance and contested possession. The simple fact is they converted all of their chances (and most of their half chances) and we didn’t. 

    We were playing a Collingwood team LITERALLY missing half their team.

    Rivers was terrific. Kozzy tried hard but his inaccuracy like Fritta's really costly.

    The younger players weren't disgraced, McVee, Howes and Windsor all serviceable.

    Our midfield was shocking, led by Viney who was a liability. Max was intent on grappling all game and was completely nullified by their rucks.

    The backline misses Lever's leadership and instruction, but I think it's time to work out whether we want to play slingshot and it probably means we need some list changes or revert back to the forward half game style of 2021-2023 that we appeared to play today.

    Goody isn't getting the sack, nor should he, so we need to look at other ways to improve.

    Season most definitely shot though.

    We stunk up the joint today on the biggest stage in front of 85,000. 

    The team is not good enough and has holes in a lot of areas. I didn't expect to make top 4 this year but I was definitely expecting finals, can it be turned around? Maybe. But that was insipid and [censored].

    Still overseas, so haven't watched this game either, but we're completely done for the year if we can't do better than a 38 point loss to a Collingwood side missing De Goey, Mitchell, Pendlebury, Mihocek, Elliott and Cox (plus McStay).

    To be that far off a side with 6-7 best 23 players missing the week after the bake we deservedly received is arguably more concerning than the Fremantle loss.

    Team stats very even. Occasional lack of intensity but so did the Pies. Gameplan looks to be basically OK but no run and carry or angle-kicks to break open lines and angles. Similar shots on goal. 

    Our in close to outside handballing is atrocious. Our kicking skills inside F50 is worse.

    Much of this turns on three players for mine:

    - Oliver. Missed most of the pre-season and has never got going. His under-performance around the ball is costing us badly, especially when we're having to play Petracca more forward.

    - Lever. Back line is all at sea without him and May is exposed.

    - Melksham. Is to the forward line what Lever is to the backline, the general. Without him we're lacking leadership, experience and smarts.

    Season not gone? Seriously where no chance this year. Where still a slim chance for finals but where making up numbers this year.

    More scoring shots but a sad loss.  
    Not just conversion but entries and set up.

    We had a lot of the ball but turnovers and inaccuracy killed us today, not the opposition. That was completely self inflicted.

    Goodwin has admitted that both himself and family have been affected by the off field dramas. Totally understandable.  However, given our extraordinary demise, I just wonder if it might have all become too much for him and he may not last the season? Lose to North and it will be on a knife-edge.

    Chandler, Sparrow, Petty, Fritsch, Rivers, Kozi, Salem or anyone with trade value just start at the end of 2024.

    New coach, new outlook, fresh ideas and input from fresh assistant coaches.

    Yze should have taken the reigns.

    Pencil Norf in for a win

    Bizarre that after last week's smashing we go with the same Petty and Turner forward set up.

    Not really though, last week was all about the annihilation we received in contest, clearance and territory.

    Just looking at the stats, we only fixed part of that today. +22 in CPs is improvement but -10 in clearance to a side missing De Goey, Mitchell and Pendlebury is bad, and -3 inside 50s is just as bad given we know we spent the week focusing on contest, clearance and territory.

    • 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.

      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.
