I knew when we weren’t converting at the start of the 3rd we were done. They’ve had 6 inside 50s for 5 goals, went way too tall for the conditions and our midfield is letting them get simple kicks in there. 

Absolutely disgusting efforts inside our forward 50 all night, TMac has been awful, Weiderman (who simply HAD to kick his) mostly unsighted, Melksham continues to look off the pace, and Petracca mostly useless. 

But ultimately our deficiencies in defence has made this an ugly night. There’s no logical set up, no one marshalling the troops into position, they look like headless chooks. I don’t think it’s possible for me to be more [censored] off with such a pathetic effort.

    Next week’s game will be one for the highlights reel ?

    We have the worst defence in the league. It’s not just the personnel it’s the structures. 

    Every time Geelong goes forward it’s like a sunny day with a dry ball.

    Annoying. But hardly the difference.

    It does not include the ones we should have been paid.

    Going to be a very long season.

    At least three games shorter than 2018.

    The bastards pump us up, give us hope then serve up garbage.

    We've kicked 27 points across the last 4 quarters.

    If you include the PF, we're looking at 4 full goalless quarters.

    In our past 3 matches, we've gone the equivalent of an entire match without a goal.

    And that's with 1 quarter left to play.

    We have been found out and we refused to analyse where it started

    Well let’s be honest. 

    At Half Time in Last Years Preliminary Final, we were Goalless, but the coach refused to review it. 

    I would have spent weeks pulling that game apart

    I bet lots of other Clubs took a very close look at it. 

    Over to you Goodwin....

    He doesn't own the responsibility. Even last week... let's blame something else .

    You can understand the team being underdone re fitness but what's the excuse about poor basic skills & bad decision making?

    Geelong are just so crisp & accurate even with a team of so many new players in bad conditions.

    One prelim finals appearance in god knows how long and yep, that'll do us...

    Sucks that we always have to play down at this s-$#hole place.  Unfair. When did Filth last play here?

    Sack Goodwin.  Everything that's gone wrong was blindingly obvious last season and he did nothing to fix it. 

    No chance he’s going to be sacked, but seriously there needs to be a plan B. At the moment we’re down on pace and skill. Team selection needs to be about team balance. Last year we had Tyson on the wing. Now it’s Jones. Chunk has a lot of heart but he has never ever been fleet of foot.

    Jade Rawlings leaving is evident.

     

    Siren and heads down. I hate asking this question but where is the leadership from Jones? At least Viney had a crack early

    • 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.

      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.
