Gotta ask the question about playing up in NT.. Players looks stuffed

 

52 points, given the relative ladder positions is not a smashing.

 

Hogan's Heroes swore he'd leave this place a few weeks back but never did, just ignore it.

What he said has some relevance if you sort through it's stupidity.

We aren't the worst club in the AFL as he said. But we are still far off from being one of the top, like Freo, as tonight goes to show. Geeze we have improved but geeze we are still a long way off. I believe that is what he was trying to say, but lacked the intellect, or was perhaps overwhelmed by emotion.

what I said about Gawn still stands.

One of the problems we have is that the players who have the worst disposal, are the ones who win the most possessions, hence the goal/turnover stat.

Okay 60 plus is starting to look ugly even with the red wine fuzz.
 

Roos has repeatedly said its mastering defence first then learning the transition to attack. Do commentators research?

Nice spin. it'll blow out.

Tony Shaw has as much clue about free agency as Gerard -what'll the Blues get for Waite in a trade - Healy.


Some idol observations..

- Salem runs around a lot but not much impact

- why play Barry, never has any impact

- love vineys effort

- too many of our players don't want to take responsibility for the kick, always looking to handball

9,290 is tonight's crowd in Darwin. not bad.

YOu have to remember we are playing a top 4 team who were runners up last year. I mean we cant even beat the dogs or stkilda. Why would you think we would beat Freo? If we were 10-4 instead of the other way it would look more respectable.

If in a year we are still doing this then we can worry more.

Plus stupid port lost by 2 points to the bummers because they cant kick straight. what a crap night

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
