GAME DAY - Round 16



Recommended Posts

Has been one of our best IMO.

Midfield again. We are just woeful winning and moving the ball.

I forget how poor we are sometimes. Comfortably bottom 4 team still. Sad but true.

That missed goal was [censored]..I never had confidence in him kicking it but kick that and the scores 17- 21, now look at it

Can somebody please explain to me why and how Jack Grimes gets a game... His the most useless player in our team. Weak, no skill, can't kick.. Can't mark, can't lead... FFS

What a frustration we are at times. Would love to see the "opposition goals from errors" stats from this year and how much it accounts for the scores.

I'd say way well over 50%. Prediction, 65%.

Seriously, watch a replay of all their goals back to back, and bar the one coast to coast goal, every other one has come from us turning it over coming out of defence. Amazingly infuriating.

The Freo midfielders look so much stronger than our guys. Saw Muzungo (sp?) out mark Grimes and it just looked like a 3rd grade kid against a 6th grader. Mundy, Fyfe, Crowley, all big, solid guys. Sylvia looks light compared to them, yet for us he was big bodied.

Our effort is there but we are setting up to limit the loss not win the game and the players are playing accordingly. Jack Grimes has done some good things but his lack of body strength for someone who has been in the system for so long should be enough to have Misson sacked. If we seriously want to try and win sub Gawn now as we have gone in too tall once again.

Might as well just go hell for leather and take the game on... If we turn it over so be it. We prob would've anyway!

I love Roos, and far be it from me to question him, but just once I would love for him to coach to win this season, not coach to drill an education and hope we might win.

Going too tall, sticking to the same rigid structure etc... it's frustrating when it's hindering our ability to win.

Although turning the ball over again and again is actually what is killing us most.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
