It's the same issues that we have had since 2022, our forwards do not lead so we bomb it in. We then fail to bring the ball to ground or are out marked in a two on one.

    Our players need to display some composure

    we handle the ball like its a hot potato and blaze away rather than assess and take better options

    the boys emptied the tank today. cannot fault the effort. but we are our own worst enemies

    I'm really proud of this team today. Premiership players stood up, Max was incredible, Clarry and May brilliant. We just lacked that cutting edge.

    It sucks because near enough is not good enough right now, we had to win. But credit where it's due that was effort for 4 quarters.

    That soft 50 cost us the game. Hope the AFL is happy with that disgraceful display by those umpires.

    Oh, they are. You know it.

    Blaming the umpires is easy but lazy

    We are hopeless with composure and kicking for goal

    Fritsch not spotting the free player in the goal square

    Petracca and Oliver losing their minds with 2 mins left on the entry - turnover

    Hopeless

    I’m sacking everyone involved with our goal kicking ailments

    100%

    I ain't even mad.

    I'm gutted because we COULD have won it.

    But I am really proud of the group, and their effort.

    Some skills errors and brain fades, but we can work on those and build for 2026.

    Just gotta keep Maxy fresh for one more solid tilt at it.

    We really should have won that, the better side lost today.umpiring was atrocious. It simply has to be fixed. It’s so amateurish to have umpiring ruining great games.

    Some naivety and lack of finesse when it counted, the endeavour from the Dees was great though and they should have won. Make no mistake, the umpires steered this win, its nauseating 🤮

    I hope May gets dropped. Going Gawn after the siren for his missed kick. That’s not the love Melbourne plays with. Bring back TMac.

    Max knows he f’ed that up and he knows May knows no other way than to say how it is, at the tone in which he’s feeling it. They’re big boys. They’ll be fine.

    May was outstanding today by the way.

    The club remains silent on it though though so it mustn’t be an issue?

    Stephen May is not the villain, providing direct feedback - even to the captain, is why we have had one of the best defences.

    I know Maxy was frustrated but I think he’ll wish he had that moment back.

    And the deciding factor…….the umpiring. It’s a blight on this great game, and the voices that matter aren’t allowed to talk about it.

    Sorry disagree. Its the composure of Pendlebury and Sidebottom V Clarry and others in the heat. And poor decisions and kicking. Should be proud of the effort. May was lucky Max didnt floor him. He is the GOAT. Dont blame him.

    Own worst enemy & either players are thickhead or Goodwin just can’t get them to stop bombing it long, ignoring free players over & over honestly it’s just stupidity! Decision making by senior players, Petty going for glory on the boundary, Fritsch playing on. The umpiring was total BS

    The effort was outstanding, but we're just not a good enough football team to overcome the breathtakingly bad skill and decision making errors that we throw in every time we get some positive momentum. It felt as though almost every Collingwood goal was the result of a Melbourne turnover.

    • 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.
