not at all, we fought but blew our chances at goal.

When it's wet, you can't afford to miss goals. We missed, they didn't. Thats the difference.

We fought out 75 % of the game

Not 100%

Bad kicking is bad football.

Always has been.

 

A stat i got from the AFL site:

Adelaide have outscored Melbourne 6.3.39 to 0.3.3 from stoppages today. In the last six quarters, the Demons have been outscored 84 to 10 from stoppages.

Well it's safe to say that in a game plan that loves stoppages, this would indicate a large part in why it's not working for us.

Disagree SWYL. I reckon they have put in 4 pretty good quarters. Had a crack, just not good enough. But we will beat more sides playing like today than we beat last year. Couple need to be looked at but a bit of luck and who knows.

agreed. We have definitely improved. Problem is, that we were so far off that we are still bad even though we have improved.
 

I feel 100 times better this week than last week.

Agreed, but that is not hard :)
 

Tom Mcdonald would have to be the front runner for our Best and Fairest this year.

He'll be All Australian.


Who the F does Jones need to sleep with to get a free kick?! A joke.

Whether you kick well or not has nothing to do with fighting out the game.

Either we lost because we kicked poorly or we lost because we didn't fight. Make up your mind.

i don't think we can play watts next week. as overly criticised as he is - it must be SO HARD to be third lead-up forward at melbourne - we need another runner to push up and move through the midfield.

i don't know what we're going to do with him. talented but insipid, better than what he's worth on the open market, i just don't know where he fits.

Dunstalls a [censored].

Many positives from this with Brayshaw, Hogan, Vince, Jones' response, McDonald continuing good form, but unfortunately we are still a very, very average team.

Going to be another long year.


Outs for next week:

Watts

Howe

Frost (inj)

Newton (anonymous)

Ins:

Whoever plays well in the 2s

No more gifted games, I'd honestly rather Grimes or McKenzie than Watts's soft as butter efforts.

  • 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?
