Some poor defending and costly turnovers late in the quarter.

 

Have got this recording the wife won't give up the tv because of my kitchen rules, looks like it's time for a divorce

That's what recording devices are for

Good effort from the boys. Some poor disposal in late stages put us under the pump. Hogan done nothing so far. Jones as usual doing a great job.

Good signs in that Quarter but we have to sort out the defence quickly

They were a mess in the last 5 minutes.

 

Conversely, Newton and Jones with 8 and 10 disposals respectively plus a goal each.

Three goals in a quarter against a decent side. Plenty to like.

The delivery hasn't exactly been great to Hogan though mate

I don't even know if he's on?! Haven't seen him on the screen. Is he playing or on the bench for now?

Hopefully Garlett and Hogan can get into the game, and they can pinpoint passes to them a bit better in the second quarter,but so far a good effort.

I hear Hawthorn have a few top-grade defenders. I wonder if we could poach one.

Kent continuing on where he finished up last year, great to see.


Good start overall.

Thought Newton was the standout of the new boys, and I thought we looked better in terms of clearance and stoppage work.

Skills still not flash and our forward entries weren't awesome but it's NAB so it's nothing to worry about.

In one word for Melbourne - limited.

In one word for Fremantle - clean.

Newton going well, Jetta and Jones playing well.

Really? I thought there was plenty to like. Guess im a glass half full type.

It's a practice match for crying out loud. The whole point is to get rid of the cobwebs.

full time players should not have cob webs they train all year round

Just saw Simon Goodwin talking to Barry Hall on the TV. Honestly forgot we had him. Nice.

I didnt take long for Dermie to annoy the [censored] out of me.

Exactly. They TRAIN all year round, they don't PLAY all year round.

Not been watching any of the other NAB games?

So often we do not have anyone on the attacking side and Freo can handball it back there with ease.

Took me about 35 seconds to find the mute button again. Gave it a rest for a few months, but come footy season again it'll get worn down to the nub.

 

Tom McDonald responsible for 2 of the 4 Docker goals

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
