Getting beaten in a half by ex Richmond and Melbourne players says where we are at as a club at the moment. Hoping for a better 3rd quarter as our 4ths have been putrid.

    Despite all the criticism of Oliver , we could certainly use him tonight because Kozzie and Viney ain't the answer today.

    How so? We are slaughtering them at clearance and stoppage.

    Gawn and Petracca senior leaders missing relative sitters (Tracs a bit harder but should be nailing those) absolutely kill us. Not good enough.

    Chandler burning Fritsch open in the pocket. Not good enough.

    Pressure for 2nd quarter back to rubbish levels. Not good enough.

    They deserve a rocket at halftime.

    Why give the ball to fritsch, he never returns favoir!!!
     

    This club can't handle man on man pressure

    Won every single source and clearance stat but can't handle a bit of pressure.

    Constantly turn the ball over under pressure.

    Nowhere near AFL standard.

    Woeful coaching, panic stations by so many around and inside 50

    No leaders or quality up forward either

    The forward half madness continues

    That was a poor last 10 minutes but the umpiring in this game is an absolute disgrace. If we get within 40m of goal its an automatic free to the Weagles. First quarter we had their backmen cold dropping the ball, play on, for us Tholstrup and Pickett dropping the ball the latter an unbelievable decision. The non frees in front of goal and frees to them are to me cheating and not umpiring in the moment, I'm over it. add our poor kicking for goal and ridiculous unrealistic marking attempts forward and it is unwatchable.

    When you have Gloufsis as an field umpire you know we are dealing with the bottom of the AFL umpiring barrel.

    Followed by the 4th quarter where we are like 30-250 or whatever so far this season.

    I sort of left that deliberately unsaid... lol

    ( definitely the inference 😉 )

    Zone too far up the fiend to stop the quick beak out of our forward half

    Looking for a big 3rd like last week

    Is that the female umpire, she’s a shocker about contested football.

    Relax everyone, we’re gonna smoke these dorks in the second half. Albo 2025 election style.

    Same old story nothing changes.

    Win all the stats except the scoreboard, because we have zero decent AFL level forwards.

    Petty as the main target is just hope more than any sort of form or runs on the board.

    We simply cannot score


    1st half summary

    🤮🤡🤮🤡🤮🤡🤮🤡

    Horrible game

    dees drinking their own bath water

    dees had chances but inaccurate goalkicking

    Eagles got a sniff and took their chances

    Dees inside50s 29 … 3 goals

    Spargo is one of the worst players to wear red and blue. You simply cannot defend him. Delist him and see that no other AFL club would be interested

    Simply must respond Simply must win !!

    Sharp should be straight on for Kolt after half time. Sorry but someone that raw and wet in terms of football smarts, skills and slow reaction / decision making needs to learn it lower down.

    He's mucked so many moments in that first half. Coach & team killer.

    Kozzy trying to do too much .... again! Just play the percentages pls. It's a team game!

    Imagine thinking that forward line could kick a decent score. This club is utterly clueless.

    We were literally two goals away from putting this game to sleep.

    Now we are more than likely to lose it and fail to kick a score over 50 points. This is another North, GC, Essendon game again just against the absolute worst team in the AFL by a long way.

    A few weeks ago we had a bad game with forward entries and the club stated during the week they hadn't even spoken about forward entries.
    Still think all they have to do is get it inside 50 and we win.

    I'd still play Tholstrup in the two's for a while. He does the get ball thing well, but then there's this moment of hesitation while he works out which option to take. Needs all that to become a single event. The other young players are a long way in front of him, and really impressed with Langford, he keeps on getting the ball AND doing something with it.

    • 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.
