Melbourne v Western Bulldogs @ Eureka Stadium Ballarat - 14th March, 2015

Featured Replies

Someone said to me during the week that MFC supporters are the biggest bunch of whiners in the AFL. Hard to dispute with some of the comments in this thread. Nate, Tyson, Grimes, Salem, Jetta, Toumpas are running and using the ball well. Our forward set up looks well balanced and dare I say it dangerous with JKH and Jeffy at the big fellas feet. You can only beat what's in front of you. Hoping we put our foot down on their throat in the second half.

That would probably be me, having to 'watch' the game through here, radio and stream because of other commitments

Yes the Dogs are below strength, so Roos message will be to stick to game plan and methods and hopefully smash them

I am getting a mixed bag, but common themes are forward set up is looking good and ball movement has improved, if you can hit a team mate who is open, it doesn't matter who the opposition are, you are practicing getting open

bummer nice handball from watts there

Honestly, how could anyone possibly complain, I know they are under strength (still M.Boyd, Minson, Morris, Bontempelli etc.), but we are absolutely killing them and ball use is very good, especially considering windy conditions. Some people will never be happy.

 

really liking the ball movement


This quarter will be telling for me.

We have smashed them in the first half and will be cruising. They will want to hit back. And we are kicking against a strong wind.

If we win this quarter I will be very happy with our endeavour.

 

damn jeffys been good bloddy gold

If Jeff Garlett can play like this for the majority of the year then he will be a superb pick up.


Using the same run and ball movement into the wind this quartet is nice.

Loved the work of Toumpas yelling at Watts to kick for goal. Even though he missed it as a forward there is no excuse for not having a shot for goal directly in front from 40 metres out (even with the wind blowing).

Hogan has been in great spots but hasn't managed to quite clunk them.

Loved that. Hogan dropped the mark and JKH crumbed the ball beautifully.

haha dunny with a bit of niggling

HAHAHA!!!!

Hutchy - "Great mark... Who is it?"

Pickers - "I think it's Viney but we'll have to wait till he turns around"

Hutchy - "Is it Viney? Hard to see from here"

Pickers - "Bloody Oath it is!"

HAHAHA!!! These guys are a cracker! :blink:

Big kill in the last is what we need - 7 goal quater go dees!!!

Commentators need a jizzlobber after Bonce and Pelli just kicked a goal...


Can't say I expected anything less.

Doggies are seriously undermanned. Some positives from a lot of our youngsters.

Grimes, McKenzie, Matt Jones.

The sooner we upgrade, the better.

How does Grimes consistently run team mates into trouble?

Dees butchering it a bit here.

 

Only started watching five minutes ago and... if I didn't know the scoreline I'd be embarrassed with how we're playing.

Who the hell was Dawes kicking to a minute ago? Caused a turnover then goal. Our defence seem to be running around without any direction at all.

Love Tyson, but struggling to hit a target.

But 80% disposal efficiency. *shrug*

Maybe he is getting it more often than you've noticed? I mean, he has had it more than anyone else on the ground.

I wonder if it is part of MFCSS to only notice who a player is after they've committed a turnover?

  • 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.

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
