Derwayne: "You'd think if the Bombers lose to Melbourne next week, there may be some questions asked..."

Matthew Lloyd on 3AW just then: "On paper, next week we have a very winnable game."

Smash these [censored], Dees!

This is the kind of disrespectful stuff I can't stand.

What they mean by 'on paper' is that the paper says the opponent is 'Melbourne'.

In reality, on paper our side is better than theirs.

We have a lot of work to do to get the respect of the AFL public back. Winning this weekend is a non-negotiable start. Beating Brisbane the week after would help.

    must have been confusing himself by reading a 'script" Thats the paper EFC deals in no ??

    All those papers were conveniently "lost".

    I'd have been a lot more confident of a good showing next weekend, if we hadn't played in Darwin this week.

    Backing up the next week is always bloody hard. The AFL continues to perplex with scheduling us for the Darwin game a week after the bye???

    Maybe it's a good thing, as excuses aside, we will truly see who wants to be an MFC player this coming game.

    Someone needs to tell that [censored] Lloyd that his joke of a club have beaten us just once since 2010 and we have been horrid in that time, yet we still own them.

    Their only win over us was in 2013 when they were juiced up with god knows what substances.

    Christ I hope we annihilate them on Saturday,

    Yep, hopefully someone at the club has the sense to be recording a lot of these delusional Bomber apologist comments. Think it's about time this club stood up and made a point.

    I just expect arrogance or stupidity to flow from Dwayne's mouth everytime he opens it. The man is an imbecile.

    They are on their knees and we need to follows the Saints' example. 10 goals minimum.

    I'll be ecstatic to pinch just ONE win over the next two weeks. Hopefully this isn't asking too much of our mob.

    Lions in front at quarter time.

    Good on us for trying to be different and NOT trying to cause an upset this weekend.

    We're usually predictably predictable at sucking in those weird rounds full of upsets.

    At least we pinched the win against Geelong.

  • Quote

    Wow what the hell happened in the Bombers/Saints game? I don't know whether to be concerned or glad that we're playing the bombers next week.

    Coming off Darwin, plus they'll be out to prove a point. We'd better be ready to play.

    Firstly, they only have 5 wins.

    Secondly, they literally have no injuries. This is as good as their list gets right now.

    Thirdly, they still rely on their older players and premiership players (Riewoldt, Montagna, Dempster, Ray, Schneider, Gilbert).

    Fourthly, they've beaten Essendon (awful, and bottom 6), us (bottom 6), Gold Coast (bottom 6), Brisbane (bottom 6) and the Dogs. Funnily enough, we've also beaten the Dogs and GC, haven't had the chance to beat Brisbane or Essendon yet, and we've beaten Geelong (in Geelong) and Richmond as well.

    Overall, I'd rather be us than St Kilda.

    They were having a winge the other week that they couldnt bring a player in because he was on the rookie list and they had no injuries.

    Rookie rules need to change. Their poor rookie wasnt allowed to play becuase of the stupid rules, and they need to be looked at.

    I couldnt [censored] believe it.

    30 min mark 3rd quarter.....Freo by 3 pts! ..........What the??

  • Quote

    Freo doubled their own score in the last qtr to beat Lions by 6 goals.

    Freo have a tough game vs Hawks next week

    Hawks played fri night in perfect conditions while Freo had a tough, energy sapping, wet slog today.

    So Hawks have 2 days extra recovery.

    Then Freo have to fly to Tassie.

    Don't like their chances of beating the Hawks next week!

    If Freo lose it will bring them back to the field (top 4 speaking) a little.

    Jobe Watson only 9 possessions in his milestone game. After his cryptic comments earlier last week, I wonder if he is making a statement of sorts?

    As the matches wear on you'd be forgiven for thinking their players have stopped caring altogether. Only Heppell put up a yelp.

    Or he is playing injured. Either way he seems to have lost a yard or two of pace and he seems totally out of the game mentally.

    We can smash these guys next week.

    • 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.

    • 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.
