Fair enough sack him tonight. Goodwin should have kicked those  5 gimme goals. 

No forward line, 9-1 frees against and dumb goal kicking from our boys. 

Did I say we should sack him?

Perhaps one of our coaches should tell the players where the wind is going and how to kick for goal? Or perhaps we should practice our skills? Or maybe ANB shouldn’t be getting games when he’s so bad?

I mentioned the umpiring is a disgrace but so is our skills and defensive efforts and that is 100% on the coaches

    Reckon Viney has done his shoulder trying to do a meaningless hip and shoulder.

    Edit - scratch that (for now). Still on the ground.

    At least one good move today is putting Fritsch up forward. Natural position for him and one he can finally play with no backline injuries.

    Hunt is working extremely hard so far. He’s covering a fair bit of territory.

    ANB is constantly on the ground. It’s like he plays horizontally. 

    He is seriously barely VFL standard at present Jaded.  In patches he might look VFL worthy but that's about it.

    A cold chill gripped my heart when I realised BT is smarter than our playing squad.

    Goodwin finally moved Fritsch forward. Took him about 15 rounds of reaction speed for Goodwin there.

    Harmes steps directly back over his mark while assessing his options and is immediately called to play on "off the line...play on"

    Umpires have a preconceived idea of who will win.

    Demons get a free, then take the advantage, umpire calls advantage, some other umpire calls us back! What the [censored]

    Omg this lady umpire is making me so angry. What a disgrace you are. From one lady to another, don’t quit your day job love!


    Petty needs to work harder to get front position if he is going to play forward.

    so many whistles then nobody knew what was going on

     

    The female umpire just asked “Jake Lever” no 8 for the eagles to get back on the mark. The evidence of incompetence just continues to mount, minute by minute, game by game.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
