Umm why didn't Toumpas handball it straight away when he had 2 players in the clear?

Jesus that was dumb

 
 

69 to 54 in our favour.

24 minutes into the final quarter.

Should win but we're doing our best to lose it. This is a Casey Scorpions-esque capitulation.

The Scorps had a good win today, with Cam Pedersen starring

Holy [censored], a siren. I can't believe it, we won?

What a disgraceful second half. Hang your heads in shame boys, [censored] pathetic.


man thats a shocking 2nd half but remember guys only a scratch match no biggy

Umm why didn't Toumpas handball it straight away when he had 2 players in the clear?

I'd love to know how many times Toumpas was caught today, by no means best 22.

Such a typical Melbourne performance

We have to learn to play 4 quarters. FFS we just stopped in the second half. It's not acceptable.

But no injuries it seems so we'll take it and move on.

 

that old familiar feeling is back, we're a lock for bottom 4


booo boo boo shocking performance

Im at ground and I could see this happening at half time sure we won but won what, nothing in my eyes we were terrible if dogs had half there players they would have smashed us, we are way off and I will stick with my bottom 4 prediction

If that's the best we can do ... lets look forward to another wooden spoon ...

I Hate following this team ... they build you up just to rip your heart out.

Well I flicked on when I saw the score of us being 40 something points up, the moment I switch on we played like, well, us!

Worrying lack of leadership when the s--- hit the fan. Lumumba showed a bit in the last quarter in the middle, but very bad decision making is still something we need to work on.

Anyway, hopefully Roos gets something out of it but jeez we're still a long way off the pace.


Hope Roos sprays them after that second half. If the first half was any indication, then we should've won by 80+

Story of the game -

We had 400 disposals to less than 250.

But about the same number of contested posessions, and clearances.

11 players with 8 or more marks, all of them along half-back or midfield.

While the Bulldogs were in disarray and let us have time and space to work a precision-kicking game, it worked wonders.

Once they got their tails up and started closing down our movement into half-forward, the rebounds really hurt us, and we clearly got complacent about fighting out the defensive side. Too many were caught running to where they hoped the ball would be.

Very disappointing second half, for sure, but I really hope our players are coaches are a little bit more resilient than the Sookscapade Spectactular going on here!

After half time: Bulldogs 32 inside 50's to Demons 12...

Grimes

None of these guys offer enough at AFL level. None of them. I'll be very surprised to see any of them in the side for Round 1.

We've got other players who do offer enough at AFL level but they all have kicking weaknesses too.

It's far too many players. We don't have enough quality kickers and it continues to kill us.

Sorry nothing wrong with a Grimes game today. Agree with the others.

  • 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?

    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.
