Good quarter Dees. Just need to stop bombing it high in the hope Gawn magically appears on the wing.

    HP not doing as well as I thought he would.

    Needs to either jump early or really late with a knee. I’ll say it again, Draper does not protect himself very well.

    Or what Grundy did opening round, charge forward and have a side by side contest but take away Drapers jump

    Anyone claiming that Max's ruck work isn't very good need look no further than how ineffective Petty is as a ruck.

    Getting a bath by Draper

    Who is claiming that? Is that an obscure reference to the debrief podcast and that local footy "ruck expert" Scotty bemoaning max tapping it to the opposition? :laugh:

    Why do the pessimist go quiet when we score? They need a bit of balance. 

    Perhaps they are in the camp of "I told you so".

    Two in a row, Go Dees!

    This is far from over.

    We're letting them overpasses the ball

    Need to stop the outlet kick

    Better end to the qtr. We look like we’re always on the precipice here though because we’re not manning up and happy to give them so much possession. We have to clean up our inside 50 entries, foot skills in general, and making sure that we hold them accountable and maintain intensity.

    Goal from Disco was awesome, and that 50 against Kozzie was diabolical.

    Need more pressure on their midfielders, they've got too much time, creating overlap too easily

    And at least try to break even in the ruck contests. Petty getting pushed around like a rag doll so far

    If it continues to rain I think we’ll win. Dons playing too much of a dry ball game.


    Bloody umpires so inconsistent. Kozzy pinged for 50 with no warning to come back onto the mark, Melk about send into forward 50, Essendrug player called to stand and moves off mark and nothing is called. Ended in goal anyway luckily.

    If Rivers can tighten up his disposal a bit he will be bog.

    We are still in this.

    I don't know how.

    Not good enough! 

    these umpires are really pissing me off with there inconsistency. kozie is getting pinged for everything under the sun. And essendon players doing the same thing nothing. just before kozies last goal the man on the mark was told to stand and he continued to move and nothing. it worked out ok but where is the constency. I dont know how many essendon and even some melbourne players have been stripped of the ball but kozie gets pinged. The essendon backs are pushing our forwards fair square in the back time and time again and marking the ball and thats ok by the umpires. i think roo was deliberately blocked in going for a mark and nothing. we have played some decent football but we have let these guys have too many players on their own especially in their forward line. need to tighten up and man up.

    • 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.
