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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
