It’s so obvious Frost needs to come in to allow Lever to roam. Hunt and Wagner and not doing enough. Bugg has no skills. There need to be changes for next week.

 Nothing wrong with Wagner's game again tonight. However I agree we seem to be lacking some dynamics in the back 6.

    Rapt they won but why on earth would you think north is winnable?

     

    because if Norf had not beaten us twice last year they would have been the wooden spooners last year.

    And FCS we just cannot lose to them again

    Was a win in the end. They will learn from it. What you are forgetting this is our first win up north since 2010. And we’ve proven we can fight back in the face of defeat. In the end it was less than half our original margin. When Viney and McDonald are back we’ll be in even better form. Bring on North

    The huge positive for me was Hogan's performance.  23 touches, 9 marks, 5 goals and a ripping chase down in the second term.  He looks fit, hungry and ready to tear the competition apart.  When he plays like this we are such a better side for it.  Long may it continue!

    North will be a really big challenge next week. 

    If we have 30 ready players to choose our 22 from, then maybe the coach should forget his under skilled favourites and pick a team that can win. 

    Woeful effort against wooden spooners. 

    Some good individual efforts saved the team.

    For God's sake. We came off just over a 6 day break, had to travel after playing a tough game last week. We won ffs. Enjoy and think of next week. Geez there's some plonkers on here

    I’ll be laughing my ass off when our two guns return

    We beat a team full of kids that won the wooden spoon last year. And almost lost the game not for their woeful kicking and a poor decision. Lets not get too excited.

    We put a performance like that in against Norf and they will crucify us, like they did the Saints in the 4th.

    Feels like a loss, because that reaffirmed last week. If something does not change quickly, we will not be playing finals in this current form. 

    It's a win, but tells a much more concerning story. 

    But still a win.

    North are either flag favourites or the worst team of all time, depending on which half of that game you watched. Sorry, still not remotely afraid of them.

    Not great. Now who wanted Garlett dropped after last week? He saved our bacon. Not a lot has changed, our midfield goes missing at crucial times. Bugg? One more chance, you have to kick them when you get the chance. I still think our game plan is deficient, as soon as we start to lose the contested possessions in the midfield we have no system to absorb pressure, use up time, deny possession etc.

    Again we played a lowly side into form in the second half and made a tight game of it, why do we do that? I think we will struggle over the length of the season until we get Viney, TMac back and tweak our game plan to be more defensive.

    Read my second sentence. Again we didn’t let them win. Early rounds are hard to call as many teams are still working out their game plans.

    I reckon we were just ok but we still got the win and that’s the most important thing. Very humid at the ground the ball was like soap and our fellas were gassed in the end

    A lot easy shots on goal missed, again. Against better opposition when opportunities are limited we will get burnt.

    Take a bow t. Bugg

    Let them back into the game giving them a false sense of security then we put our foot down very slightly. Crafty coaching if you ask me.

    Still waiting for to see signs that there is fire in the belly after the finish to last season. At this stage its the same old MFC. Would have lost the game to a slightly better opponent. Lets not sugar coat it.

    what's the problem? led all game. never headed

    and still plenty of room for improvement

    Exactly!

    Room for improvement. But does anyone seriously think we’re going to try using this exact game plan again. Live and learn

  • Quote

    If Goodwin doesn't bring in Frost to man Ben Brown and let Lever play his normal game I give up. Lever is atrocious 1-on-1 but I've been led to believe he's handy if he can be a 3rd defender. So let him do it.

    It’s  like the Geelong game with a different result. We barely lost to a top 5 team, nobody’s happy. We let a bottom side team in, but beat them by 26 points nobody’s happy. Geese not every game is going to be decisive one way or the other

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
