Players who didn't impress me in second half

Jones

Kent

Garland

Garlett

Howe

Are you serious? This isnt Twitter, there is no character limit. I would list everyone perhaps maybe McDonald and one or two others.

Jack Watts typifies Melbourne. he was great in the first half, up and about and looked so damaging, but the heat came on and started his usual loping, uncontested, ineffective game.

    It's a team game, BUT, all those who desperately wanted Dawes in this week, hang your head and apologise now. Come on, fess up.

    Grossly overated in this website.

    Been calling and keep getting howled down for it. But Dawes is a spud who we paid way over for.

    Get pedersen of Gawn in atleast they can MARK the ball.

    Seeing this today makes me realise that even after 10 years we havn't improved. We keep selling it to ourselves that we have when we are the exact same [censored] as 10 years ago. We are no better now then we were back then.

    It's games like this that give Gawn, McKenzie, Minchie, Riley Grimes & Spencer hope

    Then we truly have no hope.

    I think the saddest thing about losing today is looking ahead. Hawks, Adelaide, Sydney and Port all in the next 5 weeks. Be scared, people. Be scared.

    Don't forget Freo...

    Once we lose our grip on the possession based game, we have nothing. We just can't get the ball back and take control again.

    Luckily I took a photo of the ladder last week!

    It's not even about skill level, it's about effort. The Saints showed far more guts last week and came within a few goals. We just stopped trying at half time.

    If we were half as good as we were 10 years ago (2005), we'd be a finals team.

    I am ANGRY not sad or moping

    ANGRY...that is what we must be

    13 goals to 1 in the second half

    ANGRY....Don't let the players off..

    THIS IS EXACTLY WHY N. JONES IS NOT AN A GRADE CHAMPION

    He Goes Missing when he must LEAD

    Correct.

    Add their fitness levels and pace, once they found their radar.....all over.

    You can't say that Dawes exactly had good service from his midfielders, why does everyone always blame the forwards when we get beaten, struth the ball didn't enter inside 50 much in the last half and yet it's Dawes's fault. What about DYson, Lumumba Jonesd et al?

    With the benefit of hindsight. The only player listed above you would even think of adding to the side today would have been Mitchie.

    All the others are way too slow.

    Yeh we should look to replace as many non AFL standard footballers (and we have plenty of em STILL) with more non AFL standard ones.

    That should see a huge improvement on the field

    I was so jubliant at half time

    makes it sooo much worse

    Jubilant at half time? really? how could you not see the game shifted in the second qtr?

    Because he's an easy target by so many on this forum.

    That was shameful.

    They not only smashed us, they actually, physically beat us up and we did nothing.

    today we had no one of that caliber.

    • 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?

    • 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.
