Our decision making and skills are killing us. Midfield getting beaten, but where in front if our midfield lifts in the second half we should win.

    Half time couldn't have come soon enough.

    Time to readjust and realize not everything is one for the highlight reel.

    Our short passes have been criminal.

    If we don't fix it (and improve our inside 50s), we won't be so lucky, because I doubt the Hawks will miss those chances in the 2nd half.

    We've been given a lifeline here. We don't really deserve that lead, but we have to make it count!

    From our defensive 50 that quarter most times we kicked it out back to them. Need to run it out with handball or kick to a one on one, not an outnumber.

    Classic clash of game styles.

    Lot of players need to lift a lot of work to be done yet.

    ANB Dom and Gus too.

    Forgot Tyson. I think ANB May be on Smith who has SFA

    They’re tagging Gus. 

    We need more from Milkshake and Trac. They’re giving us SFA.

    Oliver did not stage. Commentators are morons.

    It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

    It’s Whorethorn pressure we have to beat. This is not Home and Away Footy...

    We can get better

    Anyone who thinks that Oliver flopped, I’m very happy for them to stand with legs evenly apart in front of me and I’ll hit them front on.

    Tyson is so bad.. jogging to contests and when in the action, looks slow. Vanders looks stuffed!

    Hard to fathom we are winning. I dont think we have plkayed anywhere near our best. Lets hope we do our 3 quarter blitz and not ay pn their terms.

    Make space. Hit the targets. Don’t kick to the outnumbered player. 

    Do the above and we will win.

    I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

    Would rather be in our position than theirs. Run them into the ground this quarter.


    Anyone wondering if Mitchell will win the Brownlow- I can confirm the umpires notice him.

    Lucky to be in front, need to lift across the board really 

    Yep! We're playing very ordinary footy, and we're winning (thanks to Hawks wasting chances), just imagine if we get our ship together!

    Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

    the Hawks setup took the running early and they have controlled most of thre play IMO.

     

    I'm glad that Goody hasn't shown his hand YET.  by making panic moves...  I feel like we've started to adjust to the hawks setup and intensity.

     

    I think we can lift from here... but as Lew said, we have to get in harder & lower for the ball, and win the contests... bang more bodies D's.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
