They would have been a very handy 4 points. We really ran out of legs in the last. 

Delighted for the positive signs from our debutants. XL in particular looks fantastic.

    Predictable result, but pretty happy with that as a first up hit out. First times looked good, especially XL.

    Fritta would want that game back. Shocker

    [censored] flat after that, deserved to win.

    Lindsay had one of the best debuts I’ve seen from us in recent years. The stats look good but his football IQ is off the charts. Goes in super hard too which is unusual for his style normally. Gun.

    Really missed May, McVee and Pickett. A step too far with all the injuries/unavailable. Sure, lots to be positive about, but a loss is a loss.

    surely we should be able to defend in the last 30 seconds?

     

    fitness, skills or coaching? 

    We were spent by the last 5 or 10. They did well but GWS experience was just, just enough.

    The 'Kids/Debs':

    Goals:

    • 1 – Windsor
    • 1 – Roo
    • 1 – Sharp
    • 2 – Jeffo
    • 1 – Henderson
    • 1 – AJ

    Lindsay:   D: 22,  T: 6, Eff: 81.2%

    Langford:  Not on field for long.

    I said earlier in the week if we lost it wouldn't be for the kids/debs.  In fact they kept us int he game.

    They did their job superbly.

    Our skills and pace are still the bane of our existence. Until we fix those two it'll be hard to expect a great season. Fought well today.

    I thought we were the better side all game. GWS did have many chances late - that they squandered. Result is what it is. We played a lot of debut players, and, didn’t run the game out. Only so much fitness you can get into players not in the system.

    We SHOULD have won that, but sadly that’s not how the points are awarded. 

    We had our chances, and they took theirs. Giants are a seriously good team.

    Pretty gutted to start the season with another one that got away, but I’m proud of the boys today, great first outing and particularly so from the debutants. 

    Bright future ahead 💙❤️

    Really disappointing result, but I thought it was promising signs. Our contested game looks sharp, pressure was good, Trac back to his best. The first gamers all added something. Lindsay is clearly already a gun.

    Going to be a fun ride this year I think.

    Thanks for the positive post Nasher. I needed it.

    It's just the way it went down.

    Kind of like we knew it would happen for some strange reason.

    But yea some good signs against a very very good team

    He’s on notice now. Need a rocket. Love him, but looks lazy. When he delivers it looks silky and classy, but if he’s struggling…

    Couple of really good efforts on the members wing though that set up our final shot. But he just doesn't seem to have the core strength to win a ground ball.

    we would only have 6 goals without the newbies!

    Im gutted but considering a third of our team are the new, the effort and team work was outstanding

    Not sure what’s happened to Fritsch over summer. As someone who’s watched the match sim, practice match and Round 1 in their entirety, I don’t remember him even having a moment. Worrying signs.

    That was a good effort, disciplined the way we set up players in sync preventing there run for most of the day. 
    Could have gone either way but plenty of positives other then 4 points lost taken from today.

    Some should look for positives because plenty of the usual suspects nothing but negativity on the game day thread FFS

    Oh Bowey only 2 tackles - he was very good all day

    Rooey running under the footy- Sam Taylor had zero impact and was unable to create rebound because of this.

    On to next week

    Max Gawn needs to develop a banana kick, he misses too many of those 15-20 m with an angle. You just can't miss those opportunities and he misses many of those.

    • 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.
