That hit the post wtf?

 

It is bloody early in the year, but you can already see the battle is on between the Skipper and Dom for the Bluey...

Going touch for touch at the moment...

I like it a lot...

Done and dusted I rekon it clipped the post
 

That hit the post wtf?

It did but it ain't gunna matter.

A shame that we have wasted so many opportunities in front of goal.

Would also be nice to get the hand in the back rule payed in our favour just once.


Decent effort.

Would have won if the usual suspects like Jamar, Bail and Grimes ever learned how to kick better than a 3 year old girl.

who ever thought bail has improved must have rocks in there head this bloke is just an average player like Matt Jones and Grimes, ive been real critical of those 3

Yes but it was blatantly obvious - Goal umpires don't have to do much...
 

Jamar lost it for us.The goal umpire's just rubbing it in.

We had 4 shots inside 50 in a row and didn't even register a score. Should really have won this game.


Overall im happy with that def 3 4 players to go out out of that group vberg frost newton in my round 1

Solid hitout, apart from some of our forward entries I thought we were pretty good.

Lumumba, Newton and Vandenberg looked good, Garlett can only get better, Hogan showed a bit and we came through unscathed. Not much there to complain about really, outside of the usual suspects but we've complained about them for the last 2 years.


Toumpas worked his way in to it well after a disappointing start

Good hit out in trying conditions in Freo's backyard.

Yeah I'll take that, showed something, hot day and wasn't disgraced by any means

I'm gonna jump in before the haters begin and say that I am pretty happy with that first hit out!

Tough conditions....

Hogan, Jones, Laboomba, Newton, Frost, Vandenburg, Tyson... all impressive....

We know who didn't have a great match, but let's not dwell on the negatives people...

It's just F'ing great that FOOTY IS BACK!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


Great 3rd Quarter:

Hogan on the lead looked fantastic! Shame a couple deliveries were a bit ordinary.

Vandenberg looked promising, particularly with a few strong marks and good I50 work.

Salem keeps impressing me, he has a very nice balance between that hard at it inside game yet well composed and "classy" deliveries out of defence.

HL off the back line did a few nice things.

McDonald has impressed me so far.

The usual N. Jones and Tyson have impressed me.

The usual, who won't be named continue to disappoint me.

Yep, Watts hasn't had a touch tonight...

Gotta enjoy demonland. After Q2 the razor blades were out and we were bound for the bottom again. Then it turned out Freo were just as bad in Q3.

3 goal defeat and no major injuries? I think we take that. Two whole quarters without a goal is disappointing though.

All of our recruits: Frost, Newton (1st half), Garlett (2nd half) and Lumumba looked good. vandernBerg looks like he could be a player.

Some encouraging signs from Salem and to a lesser extent Toumpas after half time.

Simply, we will continue to lose games this year if Matt Jones, Bail, McKenzie, Grimes and Garland continue to make the same schoolboy errors they always make. Georgiou in early 2014 was more reliable than what we've seen from Garland since then.

 

Not really sure what to make of this game tbh.

The second quarter was appalling and if that's what happens every game we are cactus.

The other three quarters weren't too bad but our kicking for goal will lose us games come the real season.

Disappointed but can c some improvement.

Next game will be interesting.

Grimes, Bail and MJones out for me.

No injuries and just three goals in it... I'm happy

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter 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.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • 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?
