Can we get our forwards on the Jesse Hogan gym program? He is a unit

The Genetics program?
He was a beast at 17years old.

    One team's season ends while another starts. Better team won 

    In the end it could have gone either way.

    We lost against a top-four team because of some crucial errors, not because any of the umpires cheated.

    That's tough to take but hardly a reason for some of the venom being aimed at the players.

    Some author will write a best seller on how to destroy a Premiership window based on the Melbourne Football Club.

    94% of teams don't win the flag every year. In any year there's roughly 4 teams with a good shot at winning it, with form, fitness, health, game plan, luck all factors. Winning a flag is definitionally a successful traversal of a premiership window.

    I wouldn't put the house on that book being a best seller.

    [censored] season 2024 is the gift that keeps on giving.

    Season on the line going into the last quarter and they dish that up. GWS kicked more goals (4) than we had touches after 5 minutes. Pathetic really. 

    With 8 minutes left, Green kicked it OOF about 60 from our goal. We wasted about a minute switching the ball and then lost it out of bounds in the same spot, but on the other side of the ground. The [censored] was that?

    And with 3 minutes left, we let them chip it around with ease. About a minute or minute and a half burnt. That extra time would have been handy at the end.

    I dunno, I’m proud of the effort, but it is frustrating to see us bottling another season.

    It didn’t even take a page for someone to say Laurie isn’t AFL standard , but I thought he showed a bit.

    That last centre bounce was an absolute balls up.  

    Max could have smacked it forward or at least just try to get it down. 

    Instead Greene just waltzed it out

    Back on the coaching with this one. Hogan is the premier full forward in the game and we have the premier fullback playing on Jake Riccardi until they made the move late in the last quarter.

    Horrid coaching

    Agree. McDonald unable to defend last 6 - 8 weeks, Lever showed the same and May has regressed this year, overweight IMO.

    Petracca's absence was felt hard tonight. We really lack any sort of dynamism through the midfield and it shows.

    There’s been more than 1 bad game, last 6 weeks he has been unable to defend, yeah he’s had a few kicks. Not the answer moving forward and time to go past him IMO.

    Can May ever regain any agility or is he done?

    If the former he should sit out the season and get right. having a guy that can’t bend over at all is killing us

     May hasn't been able to collect a ground ball ... Ever.

    Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

    They're not alone there though.

    I'm really frustrated with Fritsch, he is a class player but his defensive efforts are deplorable. Late in the game "chasing" an opponent across half back his heart rate wouldn't have gone above 80bpm.

    Umpires genuinely cost us the game, no ifs or buts about it.

    I have not been as furious with the umpiring in I honestly don't know how long. 

    I was apoplectic

    Simply appalling. I'm still seething.

    The blatant inconsistency is just mind numbing.

    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.

    I’d think that if we had a 6x AA ruck playing against a ruckman with 1 arm; Oliver should have been trying to make space so we could win a game defining clearance.

    Should have been 6 goals up at quarter time. 

    Should never have conceded four goals in 5 minutes to start the last. 

    Billings and Bowey atrocious, Gawn not fit, not sure May’s fit, and TMac had an all time stinker.

    Some dodgy 50/50 umpiring against us (it was obviously a push to May and Green sucked them in by dropping his knees) but we are far too inefficient and it keeps killing us.

    Through circumstances beyond anyone's control we just have too many key players out or underdone, and it's going to have an impact. Gutsy performance all the same against one of the best sides in the comp.

    It was woeful.

    Clarry was behind Greene on the defensive side (inexplicably) and maxy hit into open space on the offensive side allowing Greene to run onto the ball unimpeded.

    Oliver last quarter: 3 touches and 1 tackle.

    Will we ever see the best of him again?

    • 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.
