What happened to the holding the ball rule?

JHK walking in the rooms. Great news. 

That non decision on Hodge was a shocker.  Picked it up, got tackled, let the ball go... nothing.  It's reflective of the umpiring so far today.

It was a serious hyper-extension, so i wouldn't be celebrating too soon. Wait until the scan before we start thanking some deity.

 

How good has Smith been?

Lewis has been very good.

He is a calm head out there for us.  He, Salem and Hibberd can give us some great run and ball use from half back.  Feels like it's taken a term and a half for them to click.

Great lead up and inside 50 by Weid. Just needs to get more of it!

And Trac nailing a set shot for the first time in forever! He's having a great game so far.

Get injured!? ?

play safe, lose form, and struggle with confidence.  

...  and injuries can happen from playing not on instinct.

 

This IS the game we should be showing our form... running into the H&A season.   And they haven't turned up to play.  Tthey've turned up, to not get out of the team.

 

Too many around here,  saying don't get injured,  hurts the players psyche.   Tthis is why we are struggling.

Yet Tracca is trying hard,  because he has a burning arrse,  from the fire put under him.

We are two points down.  But, apparently, our backline is trash, they're running rings around us and we are stinking it up completely.  Can't wait to see when we're on, we'll win games by 150 points.

Most of the comments were based on the first quarter - and warranted.  Significant improvement since then clearly.

    I guess he can kick set shots. Great lead and kick Trac. 

    Just about his best lead for his entire career. He is so explosive and played his entire junior career in the forward line.

    I'd have him as our third 'tall' and have Smith use his athleticism to pressure the contest.

    Huge tackle from Trac! This is the best game I've seen him play in a long time.

    I really hope we are playing at 40%......If not we have a bit to do. 

    one week out from AFL season... we've got a bit to do.


    Holding the ball? Nope. I guess that rule is gone now too. 

    We don't seem to have addressed our inability to lock the ball in the forward line as per last week's issues. 

    Ground ball keep coming straight back out when our forwards can't clunk it.  Maybe Brisbane has dropped a lot of numbers back but it looks too easy for them.

    I really dislike Rhyse Matheson....

    3 guys around Cameron and no one close to him on edge of goal square. FMD

    He's a soft mid with poor disposal.  Plays for frees from Duckwood's handbook

    I think you're referring to Christensen there GCDee. He came out of the ducking factory of Geelong so no surprises.

    Any chance of looking for a target in the forward 50 instead on just bombing it 20m out from goal?

    • 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.
