Alex Neal Bullen on 0 disposal.. Not good enough!

 

Yep DA ..nothing much to get excited about there . Bombers unlucky not to have that goal awarded. Dees need to get going

3 possessions between Hogan and Dawes. WTF
 

Derm called it well, the dees forwards are all flying for a wet ball and spoiling each other.. Stupid football really (seperate and hold your defender away or at least hold your feet)! Poor 1st quarter so far. Hopefully we play better than a vfl team next quarter

How to beat Roos:

Step 1) Put a loose player in defence.

Step 2) Win.

You'd think we'd learned from the Collingwood game. Even before the match the 3AW commentators were reminding Roos about how easily Oxley cut us up. What the actual frack is going on?


No real Desire to win there. They seem to be getting behind the ball so every time we go forward they have men back. Dawes and Hogan don't look like marking anything.

Need to come out 2nd qrt with aggression - run and spread!

terrible play so far from the dees definitely need a rocket at quarter time. the game is there to be won

My god Eddie is annoying..

"We've had some weather so far..."

Errrrrr......
 

We've been poor with our entries inside fifty.

Have to give credit to Essendon their plans are working, much like the NAB cup game.

Players behind the ball. Frustrate our entries though long bombs.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan need to separate, all jumping at the same ball allowing Steinberg and Gwilt to drop off.

Big test for Roos right here right now. Coaching points to Hird clearly ATM.

Barring injury need JHK to replace a tall when subbed.

They'll give it another quarter and see if we're still too tall in our forward line. Clearly what we're doing now isn't working in these conditions, so pull the sub trigger with Dawes for JKH at halftime.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan all going up in the same marking contest is as dumb as it gets when they have a spare behind the ball.

What the actual frock is that?!

Boring as batshit and horribly unskilled

It's gonna be a long afternoon and we will lose

That's the spirit!

Viney needs to seriously work on his kicking

yeah i thought...Gus has ball..ok.. Viney has it....wtf

No working structure in the forward half whatsoever. What the hell is ANB trying to take a screamer for every time the ball comes in? He's an extra in the contest which means that they have an extra at ground level. We are playing right into their hands.

Derm called it well, the dees forwards are all flying for a wet ball and spoiling each other.. Stupid football really (seperate and hold your defender away or at least hold your feet)! Poor 1st quarter so far. Hopefully we play better than a vfl team next quarter

totally agree...dumb footy atm....need to divide to conquer

On a side note, I cant handle seeing Howe out there.

Continues to not care to do the hard stuff.

His man is having a huge influence clogging up Hogan's space.

Wish Roos was tougher sometimes.

3 possessions between Hogan and Dawes. WTF

If going by the afl stats, a lot of players aren't seeing much of the pill (both sides), it's just that their major ball-winners are getting it a lot more than ours.

We're definitely playing to their gameplan atm.


Did Dawes just mark a ball?

 

Great play Dawsey

  • 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.
