All VFL standard footballers. Some may get there but right now there is a lot of battlers above.

A good team has to carry some players and that’s where role players can shine. Usually it’s only when 3 or 4 of the above get a game.  No team however can carry a dozen fringe players like we are and can expect to compete.

Unfortunately when the heat was on today, GWS looked faster, tougher and hell of a lot more skilful than our mob. 

There cue was well and truly in the rack for the last and I take nothing from that.

Even with all the effort in the world you need some skill across the group and there is so many in that team who have minimal

    We are terrible in every part of the ground except the 5m radius in which Gawn is standing.

    from 2008 to 2014 my general rule of thumb was 'opposition doesn't crack 100 points that's sorta kinda a little bit almost but not quite a win, right?'

    that's almost a win today

    tally ho dees!

    I prefer the Brendan Bolton school of thought, if you only count the last quarter we won that game easily.

    Scoreline completely flattered us due to last 15 mins when Giants had put the cue in the rack.

    Up there with some of the worst quarters ive seen for a long time.

    Skill errors aside (which single handily cost us 9 goals) - the complete lack of confidence/trust etc is mind boggling. What teh hell has happened to this team from last year?

    Something isnt right.

    From a Prelim  to the worst team in the comp. From the highest scoring team to the lowest.  All in one preseason.

    A pathetic club.

    Rock bottom. Very poor games from: TMac, Jones, Viney, OMac, Fritsch, Spargo, Lockhardt, Oliver, Harmes. Where the hell was Preuss, for starters. Why does our team play 'bombs' when there is so much space to target going forward? Wasted year, wasted game, wasted membership, wasted coaching efforts.

    They had 2 on the bench in the last. 

    Kicking 7 goals in a dead quarter doesn’t change the result and if Goodwin uses it as a positive he is treating us all like fools.

    We are hopeless. 

    I take nothing out of the last quarter especially when gws were already on the plane home. 

    When the heat was on our cupboard was bare.

    At least I can understand this post.

    Dear Mr. Goodwin, what are you doing?

    Tell us what is really going on Goodwin...

    Fair dinkum -- if he comes out and says what a great last half / quarter etc we had, showed signs etc then I may well return my membership and not renew it until we get a coach with balls.

    "our brand" blah blah blah  .... unfortunately our brand is weak uncontested footy with not even the flair we occasionally showed last year to make up for abysmal inability to convert I 50s.

    We didn’t and we also can’t as we have traded the last two and that’s the limit set by the AFL. We have to use our first round pick... on a slow unskilled inside mid. Thems the rules.

    Job is on the line. I don’t care about a 4 year contract. 

    A Coach has to be able to do the job...

    • 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?

      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.
