No bruise Wattsie is only trying as he sees Freemantle on the horizon. He will play really well NEXT year for someone else!!
 

Fitzy has been awful so far


i love that Kent and Fitzy are having a dip.

Dawes looking good.

I am so glad this will be Neelds last game as coach, we are lucky not to be down by 60 already

Watts having a good game so far. As a forward. Surprise surprise. If we lose him, we are an even bigger joke of a club than I imagined.

Loving Kent. Loving Terlich.

Dawes is useless to me if he can't nail relatively easy shots on goal.

We are incredibly lucky they can't kick straight or it would be game over already. 12 scoring shots to 3? Pathetic.

At least we are tackling with intensity. Lets hand out medals.

That was no" easy shot"

official stats say Watts has only 4 touches, that cant be right


The efforts there just not the polish or game plan

easy shot.. facepalm.

Fitzy has been awful so far

That's because Fitzy is awful. Good VFL player & that's where it ends.


He was 45 out on an angle. He wasn't the easiest shot but he should get those. Maybe I'm harsh to compare him to Clark, but for $500k a season, you'd want to be able to kick.

Sorry but that is his primary job.

Why play on, why?!?!?!?!

I swear to god we are trying to play like Hawthorn but minus all the skills.

I swear to god this is crap. Neeld can't geit angry when he clearly instructs our players to play on.

Jaded, if they don't try and take the game on everyone claims that the coach is too defensive. What would rather - the players back theymselves and try and win, or the players just try to minimise the loss from out set?

Keep Kent in for the rest of the season, Keep Fitzy out and delist at seasons end!

Couple of times Dawes blazed when he was going inside 50, when we had spares at half forward.

Bail's dribble-shot was selfish. Watts' snap likewise. We should have a couple but we were still blown away.

Like Kent, made a couple mistakes but still feeling his way into this level. Getting a bit of ball and just needs to settle and use his kick to advantage, makes tackles stick. Go easy on big Fitz, this time he needs a few games to see what he can do.


Haven't seen a single second, but looking at the stats, we've had 98 disposals in a quarter, which is better by our standards (we've been having games of 250 overall, 98 in a quarter way exceeds our usual output).

We're level on tackles 13-13. We're level in clearances 8-8. Those are good signs too.

Clearly the 8-19 inside 50 count is abysmal, and they could already be 8 goals up, but if we're matching them for tackles and clearances then hopefully there is a base to work off.

Nice to hear good things about Watts and Pedersen.

Sounds like Fitzpatrick is doing nothing to quell my fears that he will never make it at AFL level.

What is wrong with Channel 7? I am so sick of this 'slow mo/non consequential sequence of play' buffers they put in between play. It's more like a music video than a football game.

Jaded, if they don't try and take the game on everyone claims that the coach is too defensive. What would rather - the players back theymselves and try and win, or the players just try to minimise the loss from out set?

I'm all for playing on. When it makes sense. Not when you're panicked.

Our players mostly struggle to make good decisions. Even senior players. It's not good enough.

 

It's [censored] like this, running all the way down the ground and kicking a goal, that kills teams.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
