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.

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!!

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
