Another poor coaching performance.

No answer for the Giants handball game.

Tmac on Hogan made no sense.

Another poor coaching performance by McQualter too.

Exactly Hogan is the best key forward going round - May was the obvious match. May was moved after the damage was done. A repeat of the West Coast game when Waterman killed us.

    We lost by 2 points to a side many on here said pre-game we wouldn't beat, who played champagne football from clearance for 20 minutes and kicked 5 goals, and who kicked beautifully all night. If anything, it was the coaching that kept us in it. It was our inefficient playing list, unable to capitalise on momentum and unable to execute under pressure, which kept us out of it.

    A lot on here are really overblowing how good the Giants are. They lost to Richmond and the Suns on expected score and only won off their accuracy. They’ve lost to the likes of Essendon and Adelaide (both teams we’ve beaten). I fully expected to win last night but the fact is after the Giants made some tactical changes after qtr time we had no answer.

    I also thought we’d win for similar reasons. 

    They’ve now won 3 straight off the back of playing efficient football. Last night they weren’t flawless (other than the first 5 minutes of the fourth) but they took advantage of any momentum they had and we are adept at squandering momentum we have.

    Not specifically having a go at Goodwin, but what’s the upside in not having your premier defender in May on their premier forward in Hogan?

    That was the point.  May on Riccardi. Why?  Hogan is their main key forward.  It was a mistake to put Tmcd on Hogan, and it was one of the reasons that we lost the game.

    Goody will not make in game coaching changes unless the game is already lost.  That is my biggest criticism of him. He is stubborn and sticks to the system rather than tactical changes to maximise individual strengths.

    • 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.
