Well this is positive reading! Sounds like they are having a decent crack which is what we all wanted. From the sounds of some of the missed shots early, we could have been a lot closer too!!

im starting to get very nervous about Jurrah, this will be 2 very bad games in a row for him

    Its the pre-season, he is the only target up forward atm and the other teams will be playing closer attention to him this year.

    I'm not worried but he will have to work harder this year I think.

    Jurrah was pushed up the ground that quarter to get a feel for it. Had some nice clean touches

    which will be really good for his confidence. Is getting caught behind the packs up forward, and is bring held

    every now and again which doesn't help.

    Sylvia and Grimes are playing phenomenally well. We are killing them in the midfield but just can't capitalize up forward.

    We are not great at bringing the ball out of defence either.

    Would love to win this quarter and give the bombers a scare. Remember we are without Green, Bruce and

    Davey.

    no mate, just going by the lack of posts that don't have his name in it, glad to hear he is getting into it

    Great to hear particularly about Sylvia. He needs to assert himself this year to show he has what it takes to be a great player and prove last year wasn't a one off.

    Also good to hear Jurrah is getting some touches. He is a freak but I don't think we will be able to rely on him. He is the x-factor that can blow the game apart but not the lynchpin that we can rely on to straighten up our forward line I think.

    That's annoying. We get first goal of the last quarter to get to within 15pts and they then kick three in a row..:(

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
