Whilst he is soft he has talent though, but the reality is he's a third forward not a main guy, if you can improve the forward line he will be more dangerous. 

Agree but boy has he been useless the past few weeks. No effort to run fast to the contest, half-hearted tackles, pathetic! 

 

Just call it off. There's only about 10 minutes left. This doesn't affect anything.

I'm sick of hearing Maynard being booed, kozzie being booed, then we don't have to hear the pies song.

    This season has really done a number on me.. 

     

    We would have to be the softest AFL side.. it’s actually comical watching us sometimes.. how the f$$& Goodwin can keep this sh$t game plan is anyones guess😡😡

    Why? He has been a good player for a long time. Maybe not as good as Jimma but give him a break he has kept at it. Stop having a go at these players who have performed consistently for a long time without injuries.

    Coz he wears the black and white…

     

    Seesh.😳


    Pathetic spineless team. No heart, very little passion and barely any teamwork. Just about the whole lot of them outside of Turner. 

    Extremely disappointed in Viney. 

    I've been saying since it was first flagged on this site that McVee is not a midfielder. It's very easy to understand why.

    Honestly some of our coaching department have no more of a clue than the fools on here that have been asking for it. If anyone should be getting trialled through the midfield it should be Woewoedin. 

    It honestly looked like a VFL vs an AFL side the entire night. One team had skill and understands how to kick to advantage, the other did not and goes out of its way to make scoring more difficult. 

    Terrible way to end a terrible year.

    Trade Salem, soft and overated the last couple of years.

    Come off the grass Mc Donald was extremely competitive. I have bagged Lever , but his organisation skills would have been very handy tonight.

    However I think this was treated as a practice matcxh to try out a new style of play. Unfortunately we were undermanned and unprepared. Collingwood play this running game so it was really difficult for our blokes to be trying something so different. Firstly in this game style you need to be moving more ,not letting using delaying tactics which lets the next level setup properly.

    You have got to have the right personnel to play a particular game style. Collingwood have got it with Daicos 1 & 2 etc.

    There was a game this year where Crisp was sub. Ie 23rd man. So he has not really had the consecutive games under the same rules as Jimmy.

    Well, unlike I suspect many of the people on this thread, I have been at the game. All our best midfielders were out. Lever and May were not playing. Free kicks were 3 to one in their favour. We made some terrible errors, but I think our players did their best and I'm not going to criticise them.

    McDonald has been fine, I just think why not look to the future in the KEY DEFENCE part of the ground as well, so we don't get to the middle of next year and again be swinging a defender like Petty or Turner back into defence, because 1 or 2 of our 3 X 32/33 YEAR OLD KPD's are injured. Then we're on the backfoot again reshuffling our forward line and defence.

    Look to the future NOW

    Well, him and most of the rest of the black and white are showing how far we are away with the skills side of things. Nothing has improved with our disposals. The kids need a big off season and show some improvement next year. Kolt runs around like a chook with his head off and I see no skills, pace in the team at all. BIG off season required.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    completely agree we should throw away our most prolific goal scorer over the past 5 years. Also our most skilled played along side Kozzi

    He is never going to be a hard man. He is our finisher. When we play well he looks great like the 6 he kicked in the GF

    Imagine if GC and St Kilda both lose.

    We lose dismally tonight.

    They’ll suspend Kozzie for 4.

    We don’t go up in the draft order.

    We get a 7-12 fixture as opposed to 13-18.

    Happy days.


     

    Even I have not got the mental fortitude to stay to the end of this

    • 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.
