Eagles are well drilled and disciplined. We still have 4-5 too many VFL players.

 

Viney's touched kick high into our forward line.

4 Melb players tackle the WC player who "marked" the ball

The WC player gets the handball away to one of the THREE FREE WC players

DUMB

Rinse and repeat stuff.

They never, ever learn from it.
 

The umpiring has beem disgracefully one sided.

[censored] you umps your peice of [censored]


They're not a class above they're just playing smarter more disciplined footy. It ain't rocket science.

I don't think I've seen one MFC kick to Dawes or Hogan all season that matches half a dozen or so I've seen to Darling or Kennedy tonight alone. They're most certainly a class above.

Get [censored] that's in the back, players are throwing themselves to the ground while being tackled and somehow getting rewarded.

Would you prefer him to not contest the mark? Dunn did exactly as he should. The Umpire paid a shocker. Don't blame the player for the [censored] the umpires are dishing up.

It's a 50m penalty every day of the week.. He blatantly pushed him in the back after he took the mark. Absolute stupidity from Dunn snuffed out any chance we had

 

I just tuned in briefly to see that mark to Kennedy. Dunn's attempt to cover him was insipid.

Not just dumb - selfish. Too often when the going gets tough our players resort to fending for themselves. We're not tackling well tonight so off they all go trying to get a tackle. Not playing team football.

At some point we have to rid ourselves of this individualistic, selfish football and stick to playing as a team. We win as a team, we lose as a team. I can't stand it when we are overrun because our players stop doing the team things and start doing what they think they need to do themselves.

Perfect example of our braindead idiots.

Don't be daft he pushed him straight in the back - Dunn is an idiot.

Of course he did. It's a free kick any day of the week. It's not 50m though. His option was to give away the free or not contest at all. He did the right thing, provided the contest he could and slowed down the play. The push was in the marking contest. Pay a free or a mark, but it's not even close to 50m.

Love a goalless Melbourne quarter and I feel we are about to see one. Goodie!

In all reality we are playing a team that is 3rd on the ladder. They should put away a team like us. But Id like to think we have improved and at least stuck with them.

Maybe having the bye wrecked our momentum. Instead of going into this game the week after our win against geelong we have the week off and lose it.

I just hope our players arent stuffed because we need our energy to beat the bummers next week.


I hate west coast...

Usual 4th quarter effort.

Well done dees.

Im out.

Look at the time and space they have. Masten drilled one in before because there was no Melbourne player within 10 metres of him. Give most of our players that much time and they'll hit our forwards on the [censored] to.


7 unanswered Eagles goals.

Called it.

So we've nearly lost by 10 goals.

Why am I not surprised?

Geelong was an anomaly.

 

Poor from Stretch, gave off the handball and didn't bother with the shepherd. He left Vince to be squashed like a bug.

Terrible... really left him open.

He's a kid and will learn

But I despair for our club. We've been down for so long.

  • 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.
