Tx for the PC. Another insightful one in times when many of us are baffled.

The scary summation for me is the observation about how our backline is failing us. First the fwd line, then the MF and now this.

Despite my calls before this game of possibly moving May fwd....scrap this....we are in trouble in our defence department.

Mays's absence was very much obvious.

I thought Petty played well but he seemed alone. Maybe Bowey a little better than he's been but he needed to be.

The real issue is Lever and May both being injury prone. They are getting on in years. With having to move Disco fwd we are struggling everywhere.

And back to our forward line, it's no different.

In the PC , someone briefing touched on Max spending more time fwd. Just no for me. If he's not rucking he should be resting. And I'm sorry but he is just a terrible set shot. Up there with Tracca.

The p.c. was right about the form of Jvr. It's gone south further than Macquarie island so with him joining the company of Fritta, our backline struggling and our mids all over the shop, we are in for a good deal more pain.

    PLEASE give me with something positive, no matter how small, on which I can pin my hopes in the lead up to GCS.  Thanks in advance Binnie!

    May will likely make a return and we should play Fullarton.

    Thanks for another insightful Pod guys.  It must be a tough gig after an inglorious performance by our team, but you called it as you saw it, and didn’t attempt to ‘sugar coat’ our performance. 
    Let’s hope that your job is made easier by a win over GCS next weekend!

    For some reason I decided to give it a listen this week despite knowing what was coming but among the things I had to call out…

     

    @george_on_the_outer Ballard is out for season mate — so don’t think he’ll be holding it down in “exactly what you need” as you stated!!! Also Majak Daw NEVER played so much as ONE single game for MFC.. not ONE mate! Seriously come on dude 

     

    @binman as usual nails it — 3 best kicks are out which is always gonna expose us to challenges on turnover — baby boy out with bath water yet we took flag favs right to death and 💯 shouting held on so alls not lost for goodness sake how anyone can say we are is pathetic imho

    also — for Andy to say Demonland is a leader in tempering abuse and negativity towards players and club is absolutely abhorrent. Sorry love the man and his work but that’s just not true.

    abuse is absolutely rife on the site and so much so ppl like me whom defend club wherever I think it’s getting out of control are able to be ‘warned’ for it — to say your a leader in the space is just untrue mate sorry bud.

    thought there was a heap of positives despite the agony LW, 6g in 6m — was a storm in teacup I hope and momentum is EVERYTHING as we should  know we did win flag on same concept. But again thanks for fronting up fellas I know it’s hard but maybe try and defend the club at least a little — to question our recruiting line on air.. with list we have and talent we’ve still got inc rebuilding on run and best <24 talent around is not at all appropriate George!!!

     

    go dees 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

    • 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.
