GAMEDAY - Round 17

Featured Replies

Can't blame Roos for this... Certainly there will be players not @ our club in 2016... Mental toughness to play @ afl level week in week out is required......

 

And Brisbane think they need a PP!

they can wait... another 40 years

 

Saints aren't much so why can't we beat them?

We haven't played a single good game against a side we considered equal or lesser than us before the game.

We beat GC when no one realised how bad they were and, including us, thought they were a top 8 side.

Simce then we've played poorly against St Kilda, Essendon, Brisbane, and now St Kilda again.

IMO, speaks to cultural/mental issues as much as anything.


 

Cancelled my direct debit membership, I can't give up a full day and $60 in petrol, parking etc for this club anymore, too long has this gone on and I can't take it anymore, I'm shot.

This will be breaking point for quite a few I think.


I think a lot of us feel this way me included.

Disgraceful, pathetic, useless, and pathetic.

Yes I know I said pathetic twice but I thought it was called for.

I think you are over exaggerating.

In retrospect I think the Essendon game was for me. Didn't go last week, didn't go today and seriously reconsidering going next week. I might put the cue in the rack for the rest of the year, the players have.

Both coaches talked about the 52 midfield turnovers to the Saints. Yes, 52!!

Lucky that wasn't a 15 goal loss!


No, Garland is on him.

Garland has already shown immaturity in flying for a contest when two Melbourne players were already in the air leaving Roo out the back and it eventually resulted in a goal thanks to Roo.

A minute later he kicked a nothing kick which went 40 metres in the air, eventually fell in arms of a St Kilda player and eventually got to Roo who is Garland's player.

It's honestly laughable that supporters think he is so important when his FA value would offer us so much more.

Our backline is horribly one-dimensional. He doesn't 'add' anything.

He is a decent one on one player and that is it.

This is your best ever post. Both of those incidents happened in the first quarter. Garland was atrocious. Gifted Roo 2 goals because he didn't pay him any respect at all. When he flew for the contest I was screaming at him to get back on Roo.

He is a dumb footballer and is the top of my list to go.

Dunn did a few dumb things as well. Again in the 1st when the heat was on he was alone on the members wing as the ball was being kicked around the outer wing into St Kilda's fwd line. No guesses to see whose opponent scored a goal.

We are the dumbest laziest football team going around. So many times you could see what was going to happen 15-20 seconds ahead of the ball and yet we couldn't get back to cover off a man or corral their team into a pocket. We are simply unable to trap the ball inside our fwd 50. OUr centre clearance work is abominable yet the number of times the Aints streamed out of the middle was unbelievably frustrating.

We can't hit targets, Our 'structures' are laughable. The coaching is bad.

There isn't a lot of hope when last years wooden spooner beats us twice in 6 weeks.

I'd like to hear from the Roos fan bois about what is going on? The Saints and Dogs have gone past us. Aside from Carlton and an injury reduced Gold Coast we have gone backwards. We have not improved.

I am over this club.

And the umpiring was the worst I have ever seen. Bar none. I think they had 7 holding the ball decisions in the first half. Probably the total we have had for the year.

The mistakes by the green maggots ruined what was , in any case, a very ordinary game.

Watts gets pinged for dropping the ball when he clearly kicked, it.

Watts has his legs nearly broken when a Saints player dived into it - free against Watts.

There were dozens of howlers.

Thanks AFL - you have farked the game up big time

Gill there were 99000 at the G for soccer this week,, You had better work fast. My wife and kids now refuse to go the footy. "Why would we go and watch them. They suck". I agree with them.

Gawn's ridiculous "holding the man". And Garlett's great tackle on Roberton unrewarded when he clearly dropped it. Players are less likely to be penalised when they drop the ball than if they hold onto it and take the tackle, it's completely stupid

  • 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.
