He’s being played out of position.

He needs to be played as a forward or on a wing, not in the backline.

Yep agree. The kid is very good up forward but due to injuries/form etc he has to play back. It sucks cause we need him forward. 

 

Just an ordinary team. No pace, little cohesion. Midfield runs one way. Apparently good disposers of the pill like Fritsch, Lewis, Melksham, etc can't hit a target...

    How forward and back line coach need to go, Massive question marks over Jennings, he was supposed to be the mastermind behind how we play.  Absolutely pathetic behind the ball and going forward.

    We are the better side. Just butchering it once we go forward. 

    Fix that up and we win.

    This is the Essendon game all over again. Completely dominating the ball but slaughtering it going forward and giving away easy goals on the defensive side.

    I am tearing my hair out here. The good news is that we’re dominating in the ruck still. It could be we hit another gear in the second half ala the Sydney game. We can only hope.

    swap tom with fritch that may give a bit more stability to our backline and give us a player who can handle membrey its not is if tom is doing anything up forward. and fritch can kick goals, given the running shambles of our forward line a faster fritch maybe a better option

    In their defense, 3 of the expected first picked back 6 currently aren't playing.

    True, no argument there.

    One word

    Efficiency

    We have 1/2 a game to fix our season. I shall reserve my bile until after the game.

    Chaplin the [censored] spud, get him out of the club.

    Yep backline coach   has to be accountable.   Lever and may will be handy down back but season prob gone by then.  Disappointing

    Agreed.  Tom muat go back.  Adding nothing up forward and simply getting in the way of other more mobile forwards on a lead etc.  Fritsch either to a wing or HF.  If HF then Melk out to a wing.

    1. Goodwin can't coach

    2. Spargo should never play again

    3. Tom McDonald is as bad, if not worse than Oscar

    4. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TRADED JESSE HOGAN

    Wish you would R.I.P

    Lever and May would make no difference at the moment, we’re so far ball side of our defenders.  This is pathetic coaching/structures. The same issues for 3 years, we rectified it last year it’s happened ned again this year.

    agree season on line next 2 quarters.   If  1/4   its over     2/3  still in it


    I feel like maybe I am lucky that I can't actually see this game.

    We're less than three goals down, Demonland is erupting like bubonic pustules, the radio commentary are muttering and shaking their heads, the stats are saying we're just about the worst in history for prevent an opposition inside-50 turning into a goal, several veterans are being frankly inadequate, Jetta is sore, and a bunch of young players who not so long ago we would talk about as the completing pieces of a premiership puzzle we are now talking about dragging.

    All sounds truly horrible and almost hard to believe.

    That's the pain, right there. It is just hard to believe.

    I just hope we claw back a bit of grit and manage to get through to a win so we can keep stumbling on through this season with something still to aim for, once (hopefully) we do find form.

    Agree, how he keeps getting picked is mystery to me

    Disposal is the main thing, but we are so slow. They can man up or create space on the fly. We are a yard behind very time. Massive worry.

    • 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.
