We need a greater impact from all 10 of the above players - we cannot hope to win games unless that happens. They should be leading the way and they aren't. The possession count by a few of the aforementioned 10 players was quite flattering.

'Ok' or 'Alright' doesn't cut it. The Swans were in cruise mode after half time.

    Is it time to talk number 1 draft pick and priority picks again because we are going to be very close to the bottom once again - especially considering Caseys woeful performance

    Hogan was lazy in the first half. Possibly carrying an injury. Spencer, Brayshaw, Cross, Dawes, Tommy and Stretch all earned their place. Garlett and Hogan did some good things, but just about everyone else was putrid.

    The bAll was nowhere near Hogan in the first half. He contested brilliantly and was the standout player with Salem.

    Forward line is good, defence (I feel for those poor buggers and Jetta isn't playing) same. Midfield is the problem. Surprise!

  • Quote

    Spot on. Get rid of Howe as far as I'm concerned. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Such a one trick pony.

    And we were offered pick 7 for him by GWS

    We would have made out like bandits in that trade and could have drafted a midfielder

    I'd like to see some of our mids play in front for a change. Tyson needs a spell, he's obviously carrying something, bring in Pig Dog to cut sick in the middle. I'd chuck Vanders in there more often too. Love Bernie, but christ i'm sick of him grabbing it and slamming it on the boot to nobody. Why is that we seem to be the only AFL club that can't spread from a congested situation through precise handball. Every other team does it with ease.

    great post. couldn't agree more.

    Heard on the radio that the Hawks have approached Christian Petracca......

    A disgrace if true and should be completely against the rules

    They have won the last 2 flags and are now trying to steal a kid we took at pick 2 just 7 months ago, [censored] me dead I am almost over the AFL

    We continually commit suicide with our shots on goal (set shots & running) that just kill any momentum we could get going. Frustrating crap for a supporter. We are so inept as a team. Only rarely do we get teased with some teamwork and a win. Just another disappointing day watching my team play crap footy. Great game tmac , well done billyS , a solid debut. Hoges dos'nt stop trying, matter of fact I think all the boys toiled away, we r just so far off the pace. More pain too come I fear, effort is all I want out off the list we have. More list building needed, stating the bloody obvious. Bugga we are still shyte.

    Agree....but, if we don't improve soon, we're going to lose more than CP....

    A number of times he was caught behind. He contested well on a couple of occasions, but Brayshaw and Spencer were the stand outs for me.

    ...? Really?

    As i said earlier in this evening

    Where is the learning???

    The game was over at Half Time

    10 years

  • Quote

    Our lack of spread and general work rate was the most frustrating and disgraceful aspect of tonight's game. Our forwards and backs did reasonably well, but every time Salem looked up off half back he had absolutely no one to kick to. No pride in the Melbourne jumper at all.

    Reckon Christian would have told them where to go, kid loves the dees

    I was referring to the first half with Hogan. Particularly the first quarter. He was good in the second half, particularly being double teamed a number of times. I was disappointed by his first half though.
  • Quote

    And thankfully it's a problem that I think we can solve. If we play our cards right I think we can land a ruckman via trade over the off season who will be an instant upgrade on what we have.

    I still like to think Gawn can turn into that player somewhat, but his time is running out.

    You should have watched Gawn on TV today playing VFL. Worse than useless.

    FFS Watts was the sub, he came on and set up 2 goals. He was clean. Harsh to include him

    I highly doubt Christian would have told them that mate.

    Equalisation? It's a joke.

    For you you SWYL.

    Not surprisingly, I'm not real worried about the outcome.

    Nice Pic MQ, I was there last year during the season and yup, didnt care either....

    The only good news in recent time is PJ committing for another 12 months - he will be important in getting the young ones to commit.

    Currently we are being let down by our more experienced players.The recent draftees have been good but not receiving much support.

    Spencer's about as athletic as Andre. And i wouldn't call him athletic.....

    I think Spencil has a dip but his athleticism is more along the lines of the Shockmaster's 'explosive' entrance.

    • 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.
