Once Hawks played two key forwards we were bereft of intercept and completely went to pieces in terms of ball movement 

It was an ugly game to watch with an uglier result

That last quarter was awful

    I thought Box Hill had by far the  better run from the umpires, who exuded inconsistency and diffidence.

    Could someone please explain to me that last free they got dead in front after we marked it.Was it no 15, play on, then Petty was deemed to throw  it? ( I think he thought the ump was going to say no 15, but he didn’t, so he pulled his handball, expecting to be paid the mark)

    Some fairly irrational responses here. I get you’re hurting but seriously. Hunt was good early, tried to take the game on and was under pressure every time he went near it. A good preseason and regaining some confidence will do a lot for him. Keilty and Petty were solid, including a huge impact early. JKH was excellent early but faded. Garlett poor. McKenna unsighted. Bernie tried but has called it at the right time. Pedo was Pedo. JWagner quiet. Tim Smith contributed. Bugg fought all game but struggled to have a big impact. Fritsch showed his talent and one of the few to continue to take the game on (though can’t understand why they think he’s a defender).

    Dont know why the hatred for Hunt here. He broke lines, he put his head over the ball and created contests. He also hit tagets which has been one of his big problems. 

     

     

    No he didn’t. Which game were you watching? He was terrible.

    Sorry all 

    harsh on Hunt but I saw him as being a really good if not great player at end 2017. 

    Just disappointed 

    You're absolutely correct, he is nowhere near what he could be, and even worse, nowhere near what he was

    Bull Smith has had a disappointing year. 5 goals 17 and doesn’t get involved enough. A limited player, unlikely to be up to AFL standard

    I liked him Drunkn. Especially his first half.

    He paid over the shoulder for their 40 th free for the game. Disgusting umpiring just disgusting.

    Umpiring was bad. I hate criticising this aspect of the game but this was up there with the Fri night Port game this year.

    Sad thing is apart from Fritta, Pedders looked the best of the bunch out there.

    Garlett, Bugg, JKH and Hunt were all marginal.

    Thats a lot of dead weight we are carrying.

    Umpires took the momentum from us and handed it too them on a platter in that second quarter.

    We were killed by our lack of a recognised ruckman. Big need this off season. Fingers crossed for Preuss

    It’s time for Bugg to bugger off, no disrespect to the bloke of course.

    Disappointing for the boys who have been playing there all season that they couldn’t get across the line. 

    Can’t say I feel too much personal connection to Casey myself though. It surprises me that some are behaving as if this is some extension of yesterday.

    Because MFC listed players play there?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
