Jetta still all class. Even after 11 weeks out. 

Working his way into it nicely...

 

Unfortunately we are almost 2 players short with the horrible form of ANB & Gus till half time.

If those two can improve a fair bit in the second half we have a decent chance.  Otherwise we will be over run from exhaustion with others trying to make up the difference in their lack of impact/output.

Very few teams could cover those two at the moment unless playing someone like GC.

Two gifted goals to Doggies by the maggots that quarter. New ruck rule this week I must have missed the notification!

    Watched from just after Lloyd's two goals.

    We're doing better than this thread suggests but still not great. Massive amount of ball in our forward half but continued poor kicking inside, dropped marks, poor positioning, mistakes (e.g. Brayshaw's lack of awareness) are killing us.

    Dominating through the middle though and their last goal was just an appalling free kick against Gawn.

    I reckon many on here are over-rating Preuss. Maybe his shoulder is sore but his tapwork is nothing special, and when it hits the ground he's a liability at the moment.

    That free against Max for the Bulldogs goal was one of the worst frees I've ever seen. 

    It was that ridiculous, you have to question if it’s cheating. You have to,

    The decision against Max for blocking was one of the worst calls i have seen in my entire life.

    If you have any doubts, watch a replay.

    [censored] disgusting call .

    Cost us the lead ffs.

    Worst free of the year.

    Imagine a GF being decided by that free kick? 

    These are the exact reasons why umpires need to be given suspensions. He clearly does not know or understand the rules , he is not fit to complete his job correctly. There is no excuses with frees like that, he was 3 metres from the ball with no obstructions in his view.

    The Gawn Conspiracy. What is it with Max and the umps?

    The umpiring isn’t affecting the result but it sure is affecting the watchability of this game, which I reckon is otherwise an enthralling contest if not the most skilled game ever. Even a few of the frees paid to us made me laugh out loud.

    Enjoying Petty forward experiment-by-necessity. Not quite ready to call him a swingman yet, but he’s contested well and looks like he might do until we get actual forwards back.

    Are you watching !!!! ANB is struggling for strength, but Gus has been off with an injury and has been far from  the worst.


    Anb is a joke of a footballer. After watching the VFL today he can [censored] off and Wagner can have his spot for the rest of the year.

    ANB is lost. Fumbly and disposal is poor. 

    Baker should be ahead of anb

    5 possessions or less:

    Brayshaw, ANB, Preuss, Fritsch, Lockhart, Hannan, Dunkley, Frost (though honorable mentions to Petty and Jetta).

    Gotta be honest here.... everyone can see i rated the guy due to my DL sig, but he has been bloody terrible this year.

    Practically a liability.

    LIFT ALEX!!!!!!

    Lewis shouldn’t be watching the game without a blanket.

    We are a worse team with him on the ground. Brings SFA.

    Dalgliesh - yet this is his game 204!!!

    It wasn’t Brayshaw’s lack of awareness, it was Clarry not putting a block on after the handball. Clarry should have had Brayshaws back.

    The anti-Max rule is alive and well!!!

    Wasn't he penalised 5 times vs Saints in 2017 for the 'straight arm block'. 

    It is the rule the umps pull out of their dusty old box when they want to bring Max down and give the ops an advantage.  Really hurts us when it is front of their goals.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
