Max destroyed should have played pruess and if we don’t win a clearance we are cooked, any team with some speed will destroy us, at least the hype might die down we are no where near it unfortunately, and with a tough draw I’m a bit worried now 

 

has anyone noticed that other than a three minute burst of three goals we have scored around 2-5 behinds in almost 3 quarters of football.

This has been atrocious

Our "stars" got an absolute spanking today.

When was the last time Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Mcdonald, Jones and Petracca ALL had no impact?

Extremely concerning. The warning signs were evident during pre season.

    Agreed, out worked, out pressured...

    Really ....ing dissappointing

     

    Really need some outside run instead of playing Jones and Viney on the outside. 

    So many players out of form. We can't carry players out of form and play so many depth players. We are in serious trouble for the next few weeks.


    Umps evening up something fierce now.

    Hot garbage. Literally. It’s hot and this game is garbage. 

    Embarrasing.

    Imagine if we had recurited a one on one defender to stop the players kicking 4-5 goals on us....

    Where are we all drinking after the game to discuss and lament this pathetic display?

    Looking at an 0 and 4 start. So ordinary.

    Frost and Oscar [censored] off

    I never understood the blind faith and umpteen games gifted to Oscar (over an experienced and reliable Dunny) and never will.  Very poor decision by the FD and remains that way years down the track.

    Too easily lost and shaken off by his opponent and looks as slow as a wet week when the ball hits the turf.  May for Oscar FCS.

    Boys have been reading too much of their own press. Absolutely smashed and look massively underdone. Looks like it'll take a month or so to get rolling.

    Frost is the new Fitzpatrick (tunnel ball) and Dunn (torp) and should never play for us again 

    I suspect May will come in for him next week.

    No way you could put Pettracca in the same category as the rest of those players. He has never played consistently good games like the rest of them.

    While it looks bad... If you could magically change things so Viney and McDonald were in form the other players wouldn't be playing so poorly. It's a snowball effect, but can quickly snowball back the other way too.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
