Maxy really is mentally weak in front of goal, I'd actually take Bugg before him in a kick for my life.

He should just handball immediately now, it's just not worth the risk.

This should be over.  The poor kicking is just turning this into a rubbish spectacle.

Supporting this club is pure torture.

It’s almost as bad as being a supporter of Rugby in Australia (a Rebels fan, Wallabies) or a Liverpool fan.... or all of the above. 

AND worse the guys look absolutely buggered.   So much for the next few weeks. 

 

just give the ball to fritter and spargo and we win


When are we going to give this Darwin game the lemonade and sars? We will be roo ted for the next couple of weeks.

I can't believe he kicked that.

I can, he ran straight at the goal, dropped the ball beutifully and kicked through it.

 

Big 2nd half coming up.  We need tomake some more space in our forward line for our forwards to lead into. 

Seriously max needs to work with our forward line coach on goal kicking.

Try following Crystal Palace!

Have to admit to only watching about 10 minutes of this junk, but my two observations are:

1. 5.15 always, always comes back to bite you in the bum. 44-13 inside 50s - not like they are going to have 26 for the gam. They will have 45-50 and kill us.

2. We desperately needed the score board to reflect our dominance and be far enough ahead that we could run around like millionaires in the second half. We didn't need a fight to the death battle in 71% humidity.

So I’d take the “Black Knight” from Monty Python above those 2.

Once again the long bombs inside 50 are killing us. Clear out the forward 50 and create space for lowering of eyes. Too many go up and too much congestion inside 50

that quarter

inside 50's ... 23- 6 and we outscored them by 10 points.

This gameplan stinks to high heaven

They keeping asking about the humidity on the telecast BBO, how sweaty is it?

I just felt the grass outside the boundary and it’s dry

Go figure


First thing Pert must do is get us out of this horrible game. If you have any chance of having a good year this game destroys it .

Agreed. Shocking decision to play up here. 

Everytime Gawn kicks for goal, 10 puppies die

No offence at all here, but at least they don’t really give you much to hope for. 

The Dees, Reds and Aust Rugby Gove you hope every now and again.

I have to admit, that's a long way from the moisture report I was expecting.

No offence taken, but no offence, Liverpool give as much hope as Palace ?

Made the trip again. No Jayden torp heroics yet - thought Clarry might try one before. Getting very dewy. Can we please kick straight?!!

Can you go find out why it’s so moist in the oval?

It is 70% humidity, much less than most of our games in DARWIN, it is just a case of the commentators trying to cover for atrocious skill errors (and at 25 degrees it is not hot)

Everything about them is annoying me so here's just two of my concerns

 

Gawn's goalkicking. Yes Max, you're a laidback champion and all round funny guy but the casual attitude in front of goal has cost us one game and will continue to cost us. How about some "hey google, find me a goal kicking coach".

 

Frost playing his part in defence. A week on and I remain furious by the arrogance displayed by the selection committee by selecting Petty ahead of Frost against St Kilda. They thought they could get away with playing a kid and it cost us. It also shows it's not just the players who mark down games as easy wins.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
