Spargo can't kick & Hibbert just wants to bang it long & high. Nothing has changed from last season. Still a rabble.

Here's hoping he can drill one into Spargo's melon.

Might knock some sense into Charlie, and Hibbo would finally have hit a target!

    Just disappointing - but we are still in the game - so hoping for a better second half.

    we have a game plan that is a an absolute disaster. they get the ball and have free players all over the ground, they have heaps more uncontested possessions. chip it into their forward line and kick goals. When we get the ball they cover our players and win the ball back, spread away kick to free players. Oliver's example of how not to chase sums up many of these players attitude tonight. At times i have seen our players turn away from the eagle player with the ball to cover their own man instead of putting pressure on the man with the ball. our players are too far away from their man to put them under pressure even if they fumble.

    Viney and Pickett are the only two players that have turned up to play.

     

     

    Stop watching and go to Dan Murphy’s urgently. Apparently there is a run on booze ATM and beer sure to go the way of dunny paper.

    Very lazy. Saw a shot of Oliver casually jogging after an eagles player like we were 100 points up. 
     

    Players still don’t get it. FMD.

    The sooner Hibberd retires, the better off our backline will be. He never covers his man properly and his run and long bombs are more damaging to us than our opposition. He must be the least effective kick in the entire league. A big fall from his All Australian level a few years ago. Get Rivers in to replace him and be done with it.

    2020 over before it started, COVID19 or not!

    They’d actually be doing me a favour if they ran out.

    Well, that’s pretty much how we’re playing.

    That's not the game plan, that's the work rate. Or lack of.

    Yep, that one is not Goodwin's fault.

    However if he can't get them to play for him, then he is for more trouble and heat than he already is (or should be)

    I’ve been a fan of Hibberd for a long time but what is his kicking efficiency today? Awful, and poor decisions as well. 

    He’s not alone though, I’d like one of the tasks (call it homework) of the players to be to do some simple maths. Like, “what are the odds of player A winning the contest against 2/3 opponents?”

    Frittas going to have to get a lot better delivery if he’s going to take out Maxy’s Coleman prediction. 


    We will never win a premiership under Goodwin. I said.

    Jesus Brayshaw is a massive disappointment. 

    Id easily be happy if we used him as a trade option come end of year.

    Brayshaw has to do a lot to win me over. 
     

    slow, awful kick, doesn’t run hard defensively, doesn’t kick goals. 

    Lol right on que

    It would be nice if we kicked it to our own players when going inside 50. 

    It would be nice if we had player’s in the 50 to kick to who aren’t outnumbered!


    We obviously still haven’t fixed the issues about kicking into fwd50. Maybe we will have the whole year to work on that.

    • 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.
