The thing that I hate is that there seems to be no connection between the players, do something good, handball or kick and then stuff it up.

 

AFL app stats saying Viney out for the game.  

If it’s concussion again our medicos should all pack up and head off now

well that all turned to [censored], viney, brayshaw, oliver 21 possessions combined. what's going on?

Yes. In spite of all our other shortcomings, this is where it's falling apart. Their midfield is well on top, so we have little drive.

trac does so much good stuff and then just won't do the basic and KICK THE FLAMIN' GOAL!!

Disagree. Hes got the smarts but execution always problematic. Will be a B grader at best for career.

In the warm  up he just tried smart alec round the corner shots. Missed all of them

I query if he's serios immature or just dumb. Maybe all 3

If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

and that's what worries me about this game and the last 3 or 4.... not much reason for hope in 2020 with this gameplan

Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

Cripps has quickly overtaken him unfortunately.

Our basket case side is 3 points up. How is this possible ? Improve by a couple of % and we might win. The saints are no good either.

That’s an error. Been saying that since the start of the game. They haven’t edited the previous weeks stats properly.

    Oliver was tracking at the same level for age. Never been better than him surely?

    Rubbish. Probably 2nd in our B & F atm.

    Our most reliable kick is having a mare.

    Yep. Can't wait for the circle (rhymes with) work to begin. How [censored] good are we!!!

    Brayshaw, Viney, Oliver and Jones all having ordinary games. I'm actually starting to cringe when Jones is about to kick the footy. I know his foot skills have never been fantastic but they are horrid tonight. Does Brayshaw even look interested?

    A contant revolving door lineup does that to you. e.g. the forward line we have out there looks nothing like the one we had just a month ago.

    Also due to injuries and having to play fringe players, including in key positions.

    Jones is rated as one of our best kicks this year. Don't know if that says he's harshly done by or shows how terrible our other players are.


    I am waiting for the 6 day break with travel to kick in. Maybe it has already.

    Looking for positives Frost a plus so far. Except for 2 brain fades he has been dynamic in a very pedestrian team effort so far.

    that's a coaching issue... and let's face it.. our guy ain't top drawer

    No it's not. It's for Oliver to work out how to overcome it. Goodwin can't get in his brain and tell him how to shake off a tagger. Oliver isn't the first player to get tagged and he won't be the last. Good players work there way through it. 

    On Frost you get the good the bad and the ugly with him.

    Lever continuing to improve too, and have liked Corey Wagner's intent.

    You need another player to be free'd up to pick up the slack, And then the opposition has to make a decision. We lack another elite midfielder.

    • 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.
