Slow start when we kicked badly and flat finish in the last where they kicked 4.3 to our 1.2 but on the whole we played well.

Good to see the switch across half back and the tempo changes.  We lost but a lot to like for the last few games of the season.

Huge game by Clarrie and Fritsch not far behind.

    Our 4th Quarter fitness is an indictment on Missons tenure at the Dees.

    Like last week and many other games this season no matter how competitive and strong we are during the game we toss it away in the last quarter. We rarely look like winners at the death.

    We had a really good stab at it, a lot of things worked for us. 

    An encouraging performance, but ultimately not there yet.

    Missed easy goals again. Petty, lewis missed 2 each they should have kicked and max again missed a sitter. 

    4th quarter we just couldn't kick goals

    The game was lost when that (censored) umpire gave a free against Max for trying to mark the ball. Terrible decision. Blind.

    We were ok but have lost the confidence to take the game on when it’s there to be won

    This.

    Also, skills. Also, both of those: experience.

    Preuss.

    Laughable that some on here questioned the FD’s decision not to pick him earlier this season. The least fittest bloke on our list by a mile. Todd Viney would have beaten him in the 3km time trial.

    Fritsch up forward is a game changer.

    Begs belief why he was down back for so long.

    Wagner (Older) did well as well I thought, was hard at it in contests winning several.

    Brayshaw did well keeping Yeo quiet, maybe that was the trade off of him going back into the center.

    Petty worth continuing up forward, Lewis also. 

    Poor games from Preuss, Lockhart and female umpire

    To continue the theme of patting myself on the back: exactly as I said last week. Has ten thumbs. Not AFL tandem-ruck quality until rectified.

    I wonder what all the posters that were saying he would make a difference think now.

    Er, i didn't see it - what happened?

    • 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?

    • 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.
