Which 3 men cost us the game?

Bate Dunn and Watts?

Or the yellow maggots?

Who else is shaking with anger right now . . .

 

Yellow maggots and those 3 were all average in the last quarter, but the 19 besides PJ, Scully and Bennell who played in the first half were the guys who cost us the game.

Bate Dunn and Watts?

No, no and no. It was our unbelieveablely [censored] poor first half.................... and Cameron Bruce

 

Lay of Watts. He is only a kid learning the game. Look how well Nick Reiwoldt is going in the seniors after returning from injury (and he is a superstar). Main offenders were our senior players in Bruce, Bate and Moloney (noting he was injured early on).

Bruce, Bate and...one of Bruce and Bate

What happened to Moloney?

What happened to Moloney?

Injured

What happened to Moloney?

Suffered a corked thigh and THAT'S what cost us the game...

 

cant blame watts he was spend and really good

his field passing was super


Morton Morton Morton.

He is just terrible, a liability, he did nothing of any use for us today and he rarely does in any game.

i never really liked him as a footballer

today didnt really help

few good things but thats it

Bate and Dunn. Watts is a kid who showed us a bit of what is instore for us in the future, as he learns the game at this level.

No-one on our side cost us the game. Bruce's first half was diabolical but was ok after that. Bate was ok... not nearly as bad as people will make out. And despite a few poor choices and some bad kicking, I thought that was one of Watts' better outings.

Umpires are an embarrassment to the game and have cost us at least 3 wins this season.

We got ALL our good umpiring luck last week.

On the official AFL site, Macdonald isn't listed in the best.


Sorry to disappoint you, but you can't pick and choose 3 players to blame the loss on.

We lost because we didn't play football in the first half. For that, I put the blame on the senior leaders of this club, who disappoint us season after season for their inability to perform consistently and put up with the pressure of the game.

What amazes me is that we can rely on Scully, McKenzie, Frawley, Garland etc to put in the effort week in week out, but guys like Bruce, Bate, Rivers, Moloney, Sylvia and Davey can pick and choose when they feel like going hard at the ball. Even Green had a terrible first half.

So how can you put the blame on someone like Watts, who in his 10th game worked extremely hard to get us into a winning position. These players are not meant to be winning us games, but sadly things won't change until they are leading this club.

Watt game were you watching FFS?

This kid was supposed to be the next Wayne Carey not the the Next Jim Carey = muppet.

Trade the mummy's boy and see if the GC17 want to part with some loose coin.

Brent Grgic in disguise.

WILL NEVER MAKE IT> end of.

Gaunt

I don't even think that a double facepalm photo can do justice to how dumb this post is!

Come on people the whole team cost us the game in the first half we were pathetic but too the 22 blokes credit they fought back well and all made crucial blunders at times but give them all credit for the fight back!

wow.....

go away...

Jones was terrible.

We're talking about Round 16.

I'm as one-eyed as the rest of us on here, but to blame the umpires for today's game is stupidity. I thought they were fair, and in that 3rd quarter, we got our fair share of gifts.

The first half was a disgrace, probably the worst we've played all year? Bruce was woeful, but so was Sylvia, Green, Davey. The problem is the lack of leadership.

I'm also not sure about the Dunn bashing - he and Frawley worked Pav over didn't they? When Pav was forward, Chip killed him, then when Pav went in the middle, I thought Dunn tagged him well. I will stand corrected if Dunn wasn't on Pav.

3 guys that cost us the game...

1. Bruce

2. Bate

3. Davey (2 ordinary 50m penalties that hurt us, they REALLY HURT US).

Green for next MFC captain.

FWIW - I think we really missed Trengove today. Big call for a bloke playing his first season.

 

A couple of ordinary decisions by the umps who seemed blind sided all day.

Crowley and Pavlich's magnificent diving efforts - revisit the game and have a look at all that acting!

The crowd unnerved the young fellas somewhat.

Clumsy tackling (falling onto the back of diving, fainting footballers)

least wattsy is getting a abit of the ball now, they had a terrible first half but showed abit in the second half when they decided to have a crack!!

  • 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.

    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

    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.
