5 day break was always going to be a factor. Reflect on that before criticising the last 10 too much

Richmond had a shorter break and were full of running

    Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

    If my grandma had wheels, she’d be a bicycle.

    Enjoy the win.

    How'd that go for them in the 3rd? Who GAF about clawing some token goals back when the game is dead and buried?

    Bowser was huge tonight.

    Gawn is the best ruck I’ve ever seen and tbh quite possibly the best Dee I’ve seen.

    Viney was a beast, 15 tackles.

    Windsor needs to burn this boots, kid butchered it more tonight than he did all last year I reckon.

    3qtr was elite and what we should be aspiring for each and every qtr.

    Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

    Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win.

    Meh.

    2017 ... who missed finals by %? It wasnt West Coast.

    We need quite a few 10 goal wins, if finals are still on our radar.

    Coming off a short break, and the highest pressure rating in a third quarter this season, I can tolerate a last quarter drop-off on this particular occasion. Obviously it won’t go unnoticed, and our last quarters will remain a focus as we press on.

    But geez, some of you really need to learn to enjoy a win.

    Why should Gawn being off the ground result in the our players slacking off their efforts?

    Also what has Gawn sitting on the bench to do with some pathetic Melbourne turnovers hitting Richmond players on the chest?

    This is the thing, no issue with resting Max but the rest of the team has to keep competing when he’s off the ground and we just stopped running and handed them goals. Should’ve at least shut the game down.

    He is so important to our back 6 and controlled the game tonight

    If he got those floating chip kicks out of his game he would be even better.

    The most pleasing part was the response after half time, we flexed. I know some will criticise the last 15 mins where the Tigers jagged a few. It was NBA like, player management ( Gawn, May). The game was done and dusted.

    Worry about percentage later, bank wins. Bowey unreal.

    Huge game next week.

    Has to be in the conversation for best Melbourne player ever. Definitely the best in my Millenial lifetime.

    My partner asked me tonight what Melbourne would do when Gawn finishes up. I changed the topic - honestly I can’t and don’t want to ponder that.

    You can only beat what’s in front of you. We’ll see if the hypotheticals play out in due course.

    Secured the game then eased off mentally. who cares?

    I reckon this kind of attitude represents exactly why we are 2-5.

    Easing off mentally leads to bad habits and I guess we can expect more mediocre performances then.

    I wouldn't say it's arrogance. We were 40 points up coming off on a 5 day break with a trip to Perth.

    We got to cute with our kicks and gave up easy goals.

    Great win. 3rd quarter epic. Boys took their foot off the pedal in the last. It was obvious. Junk time goals for Richmond. Teams have done it to us in the past and we’ve called it out. Shouldn’t be any different when we’re in the lead. Go Dees.

    Here's the issue though (and I'm someone who always rated Salem): why do we get such up and down performances from him? At his age and experience level we should be getting consistently decent output. But we get good games mixed in with shockers. Much like we've gotten from the majority of similarly experienced MFC players over the years.

    The coaches must be so frustrated. So many of our senior players seem to perform like rookies. You expect and work around the inconsistency of youth...but if you can't rely on your senior players executing their role consistently then what hope do you have?

    Yes and Clarry's pressure and contested possesions was the HIGHEST of any player in that quarter for the season!

    This is the cheapest trick on Demonland to cherry pick the first good game someone plays in god knows how long and call out the haters for doubting them.

    Agree that hr played a good game but wind it in a bit!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do 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.
