    They are on the same level as the umpires - [censored]

    Well, what to make of it?

    I thought we were done 10 minutes into that term and then... we just clicked a bit.  We tackled harder, won the clearances and, for the first time this season, took our chances!!

    What it means is that we are well and truly in this contest.  If we keep up this hard work then we are every chance.

    How we are only 4 points down is amazing. Some great inspiring goals by the Skips.

    six, but much of a muchness

    we should be at least five goals down; our accuracy keeping us close thus far this year

    Wow. We should be down by at least 8 goals. But we are right in it

    Big 20 minutes in the rooms

    How much do the boys want a win???

    The whole commentary team have just been waiting for us to stuff up so they can say how loose and leaky we have been.

    I don't think we have been playing great but neither have the Swans and they haven't been all all year so far.

    Yes incredible at times it looked like blowing out.


    They still seem to score the ‘easy’ goals. Where as we look like we work so much harder to score. 

    If we can start to win the clearances then hopefully the one armed monster can create a contest and give spargo melksham and co and crumbing chance. 

    Cmon Dees.

    Key to that quarter was a willingness to taking the dangerous kick on. Apart from Fritz it was non existent in the first.

    Got lucky with a few of those snaps in the pocket but that will generate confidence which we desperately need.

    Jones being moved into the middle has been well overdue.

    We were good in the second quarter last week too. Need to actually show up in the second half.

    we are playing so damn poorly, very few players actually playing well and we are still in the game, thanks to their poor kicking for goal.

    i just wish they would stop this zone defence and man up. When sydney runs and gets the overlap like every other team that has played us this year we are toast.

    If Jones is to play it must be up forward - useless elsewhere.

    Hibberd is gone. Hore showing something.

    Wagners will never be any good.

    OMac just horrible.

    That Kennedy throw was indicative of the umpiring

    Lucky to still be in this game. Our skills are sub VFL standard. Luckily the Swans Are just as bad and haven’t converted.

    The optimism i can take out of this is that our midfield can only get better. They started to show signs in the last 5 minutes. If it continues, we will win this game.

    Brayshaw has to present himself this next half.

    Are you agreeing with me now?

    I never disagreed. I just hate it when supporters attack players in such a personal way. Even if it’s just a figure of speech I would never suggest shooting a player. None of them are out there trying to be bad.

    Gee who would have thought Pruess and Jones would be our leading goalkickers

     

    Our third terms have been our achilles heel all season.  You could argue, on the scoreboard anyway, that we've still been in the contest for our first three games at half time and fallen away badly after that.  We need to turn the tide this week and come our firing.

    • 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.

    • 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.
