OMac playing well, at least. Don't think he's lost a contest and has looked far more proactive.

No he has fumbled easy balls causing our attacks to break down and kick has been shocking. A player with better awareness would have touhced the ball on the line.

    West Coast a class above. Whenever finals come round, they'll be front and centre, just so much talent from one end to the other.

    They look really good don’t they.

    How did the dud centre bounce straight to Naitanui not get recalled? That was just a joke.  

    Because it didn't bounce to Gawn

    Alex Neal Bullen 1 disposal that quarter.

    Someone again tell me what he brings to this side??

    Thought we might struggle a bit. You can't name Bedford and Pickett as debutantes and keep ANB in without a worry.

    Losing only one game for the season (given this will probably be the last game) is pretty good isn't it!

    what a p*** poor effort, eagles chip the ball around with ease as our players playing meters away from or behind their opponents. another 6 or 7 weeks off may help our players to hand pass and kick the ball to their team mates. To think i have been waiting months for this game to come along.

    depressing first quarter

     

    I remembered watching the Adelaide game and thinking what have they changed in terms of forward set up and tactics, the answer watching that quarter is absolutely nothing. 

    Still long bombing it to outnumbered contests instead of lowering the eyes. Are the forwards leading to space, demanding the ball? (Question not criticism)

    Seriously we are playing against one of the best defences, don’t drop it on their heads!!!

    He's fumbled it twice and still takes 5 years to get foot to ball. But yes, positive!

    We've still got no system delivering into and performing in the forward line. 
    Seems like poor coaching

    If we’d kicked straight, and they kicked crookedly, we’d be well in front, despite Gawn losing hit outs to Nicnat.

    Nullify Gawn, nullify MFC. It's too easy for the opposition to figure out.

    Only saw the least 5-10 minutes.  
    Looked so like 2020 .... randoM inside 50s .... no goals.

    Opposution easy systematic inside 50s .... easy goals. 
     

    What have we learned?


    Forward entry looks like we are still playing 2019 season. Not the start anyone wanted.

     

    Pretty pizz poor so far.

    Would it be wrong and insensitive to want the player's to start needlessly coughing and sneezing?

    Would give us some more time and space ?

    Horrendous. We have learned nothing and improved nowhere.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
