Not a big fan of the chip/mark game plan in defence. We don’t have the skill for that and it just feels pointless. 

 

I like it. Make them defend in the heat. There’s nothing to lose from doing that in a game like this. It’s a new look for us and now’s the time to see how it works.

 

Death, Taxes, Melbourne playing boring predictable vanilla football

Positives

Trac back

Clayton contributing

AJ having a crack

young blokes getting a touch

Negatives

Early goals matter

Another knee takes out a Demon champ

is Rivers playing?

Disposal mediocre hand & foot

Set shots suck (again)

Freo Bunnies!


I totally forgot about this game. Took the kids to the park.

Good choice.

Billings is so useless, looked defeated as soon as he marked it. 

Except for his two missed shots at goal, he has played better than a dozen other teammates. 

 

So far we have been a distant second best in basic skills, ball movement, marking contests, pace and kicking accuracy.

Apart from that, Goody will tell you everything is going to plan.

At least there’s lots of love … a practice game let’s hope the 2nd half & the season ahead is positive

Geez we look sloppy today. Yet another afternoon where Treacy and grandpa Walters do as they please.

Easy misses from Salem, Fritsch, Sharp, AJ and Billings hasn’t helped massage the scoreboard. Billings is so useless, looked defeated as soon as he marked it. 
 

Just a praccy match but definitely close to worst case scenario on what I didn’t want to see today. 

If there’s just ONE positive that I’m going to take out of today… you have fixed the Bnag in your profile name!!! Now THAT’s cause for celebration!!🎉🙌👏

Give Koz a run ffs

What’s the point?

He’s not going to bail us out in the first 3 games so you may as well not bother today.

F50 ground ball pressure needs to lift along with set shots. That will stop their rebound from defence 
2 teams but very humid today in Peel region currently 26 degrees with 81% humidity 


Hate the chipping around. When other teams do it to us I love it because it means they don't know what to do. And that's how it is going with us. And every kick is another opportunity for the other team to intercept in their forward line FFS.

Soz to kill your one positive HT, they’re two different posters. The Bnag still lives.

Missed Fritsch for an easy out the back kick too, he’s been far from the worst but so uninspiring

Now talking about "21", after the spiel about last year.

Our first real hit out with a new forward coach.

Give us a chance before all this, pessimism.

Wait until mid season, or at least after the first couple of H&A games.

But, then you won't be able to say "I told you so"!

Ok I'll try.tx.

yep

and none of our players have the skills to pick the eye out of a needle

it won't work when you can't hit a target under minimal pressure

Learnings 

Still working on Forward connection 

Skills need improvement 

guess what ? 

it’s the same lyrics to the same song as last years

Everyone still think Bowey is an excellent half back? 

He hasn't been the same since his injury.

  • 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.
