3 times they've tried the kick over the top to Lewis, 3 times it has failed.

This has to be by far the worst game I have watched all year.

We are absolutely [censored] atrocious.

 

Salem can’t hit a target. Our disease has finally got him.

    mmmmmmmmmm

    perhaps we are tired... no wait.. that was the 2017 excuse

    This year it's injuries is the buzz word and the year before the year before it was we were too young

    Goodwin needs to do something about Oliver... 2 touches in 40 minutes odd of football.. hello Coach

    Salem 30 metre kick directly to Coffield's chest!!!

     

    Can't handle the pressure

    Where is the midfield? MIA.

    We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile. 

     

    Both teams have had horrible skills, Saints have smashed us in the clearances, and that's where we need to start to turn things around.

    Salem and Jones are having shockers.

    Clarry tagged out of it.

    Baker is poor around the contest.

    Forward line is still disfunctional.

    Yes and no. Yes disposal is crap but we’re not really setting up fr easy movement of the ball either. Everything looks hard. We’re SO [censored] ... structures, skills. So hard to believe we’re back here again so fast.

    Schoolboy errors at this level is just embarrassing. I doubt we'll win if this awful brand of footy continues. Absolute shizenhouse

    Salems always been overrated.

    what a pitiful example of football. missing passes, handballs, tackles, no chasing.... actually its pretty much like we have been playing all year, so i guess we get top marks for consistency.

    Losing:

    contested possessions

    uncontested possessions

    inside 50s

    tackles

    marks inside 50

     

     


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

    The more I watch us this year, the more I think that it's not the injuries and the interrupted pre-seasons, or the 6-6-6 that has caught us out. It's the lack of having a runner out there the whole time. The collective footy IQ of this team is about Auskick level and without an onfield coach (ie. Runner) we're literally clueless out there. We are a joke.

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

    Brayshaw is an absolute worry.

    Gee we are lucky to still be in front. 

    Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss

    They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. 

    Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 

    3rd quarter will be interesting.

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

    I hope we spend more time trying to drown our players with weird training exercises instead of working on our skills.

    Maybe dropping bricks on their heads might work this time...

    Getting wacked at the stoppages and on the outside.  Nothing new here as we send too many to the contest and don't maintain outliers for the receive.

    Forward line cactus ... inside 50 efficiency 45% to a whopping 63%.  Marks inside 50 .... 3 to 10!  To be expected given no T-Mac but we have the worst worst forward list (or equal with GCS).

    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.

    Also are we still playing a spare behind the press?? I cant tell on the tele.  If not why not??

    • 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.
