The bench are waiting to hear back from the interchange staff if they can sub-in Trengove. Cruel.

Sam Mitchell had 38. What's age got to do with it

Not much, other than he's no Sam Mitchell... 


Overall the effort was great tonight, but the execution was poor.  There's no denying that.  The Eagles made us pay for it and it won them the game.  I felt as though we matched them around the ground but we exposed our backline which we simply cannot do.  It's not talented enough right now to stand on it's own two feet and our midfield and half forward line need to support it better by eliminating the turnovers.

Lots of positives, though.  Oliver was super and will only get better.  Hunt and Salem are primed for big years, Spencer gave us something, Lewis was a cool head under pressure and Brayshaw is another who is getting better each week.

Lots of our better players were down today as well - Tyson had a mare, Benire turned it over and Maxy didn't exert his usual influence.  When you factor in that, as well as the turnovers, then a 4 goal loss is a fair reflection.

We are a big chance to roll the Saints in a fortnight's time, and if we add a couple of pure small forwards, add Jetta and Hibberd to the mix and make the right selections re: tall forwards then there is no reason why we can't win in Round 1.

 

So pre-season's over and we still have room for improvement! :)

Bring on the Saints and Season 2017!

Just cause u dont give a [censored] doesn't mean the rest of us don't. 

I didn't realise it needed to be brought up all night.  Check the Trengove thread, I care about his role in the side, I just don't care about his role in this game tonight being analysed with every second post.

we won two quarters & lost two...

Still feels like we are way to easy to score against when we inevitably turn it over. The work around the ball is good though.

The way West Coast have run and scored so easily is the exact way St Kilda tear us up every time, which is the worrying part for round 1.

This.

Too many turnovers but we did run out the game well. 


Anyone else see Trengove storm off on his own in the rooms afterwards?

99% of supporters give a [censored] about Trengove.

And I'm part of that 99%.  I'm talking about this game and his role in it which was brought up ad nauseum every 30 seconds, or are you too slow to work that out?

Pettacca is a real enigma ,all the talent in the world but finds it hard to find the footy at times

Why not? He was taken over so why it let him have a run. 

I can't understand the logic behind it. 


We were not that far off, some serious over reaction from some on here. Poor execution into and out of 50 cost us. Oliver fantastic and pretty even over the whole game. Pencil the only one on the fence who consolidated a round 1 spot. How Trengove can't get a crack when Harmes can is beyond me. Our whole backline, Hunt aside, was a disappointment.

Trengove stormed off on his own in the rooms to the right of screens while rest of the team went into the back room. Anyone else see this?

 

If there has been improvent Goodwin is hiding it well. We saw SFA indication of anything tonight.

  • 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.

    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.
