Time to give Jefferson and Fullarton a run and see what they have to offer.

    Why can’t we seal these close games 🤷‍♀️

    Just watch those last 3 minutes.

    We didn't even man up properly when they took position.

    We're so one dimensional

    Genuinely lost that game due to the umpiring. 

    3rd game where a sh-t free, this time to toby ducking, costs us a loss by under a goal. Sick to death of it.

    Head in the sand. Their handball game in the middle of the game and our horrible centre clearance work were the difference.

    Tough loss.

    Thought our effort was very good most of the night. stuck at it when the game looked gone

    They just had that bit more class than us when it counted.

    The boys can hold their heads up. We were just beaten by a better team on the night

    Go dees.

    Platitudes, we are Sheeit so many ordinary players

    Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

    Now that I believe in ... Turner should have been on earlier as his bulk and marking were missing up forward. Rotten season for all of us.

    After being so good for 3 quarters, perhaps he didn't have the fitness base to go a 4th.

    [censored] we miss Trac, that's all I have to say. Cue in the rack, stub the durrie out and throw the stubble against the wall. Time to look forward to 25.

    Who would have thought that Tom Green would have won that last centre clearance. We were shizen all night in the middle.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.

    You'd think they would have put Koz in the guts with a minute to go.

    Instead they waltzed it out

    Effort was there. Just not good enough. Bloody frustrating though.

    - Lose to Carlton by a point 

    - Lose to Brisbane by 5 points

    - Lose to GWS by 2 points

    Mids got absolutely smashed all night.

    You'd think by the last quarter we would have at least try to really go defensive on their mids to stop their stoppage dominance, but no we didn't.

    Oliver giving Green space in that last centre contests sums it all up.

    We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better.

    We don't run with the ball and link up, don't hit targets and we are so slow to move it in transition.

    We only looked dangerous when we were taking the game on in the last 6 minutes.

    Heartbreaking. 

    But the loss sums up 2024 perfectly.

    We showed glimpses, but not consistent enough. Our lapses are too frequent and too costly. Better teams are overtaking us now and we’re too slow to respond and too little too late. 

    Can we get a Hogan type player? 🤣

    Good to see Petty continue to improve.

    Still a sniff for finals but will be tough for the reasons above. Still hoping.

    • 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.
