Its not my system. Its Champion datas. Its also now supercoach points.

Not joking. 5 points. Only players that get injured in the first 10 minutes finish with that score.

Agreed.  Ineffective kicks are a Spargo forte 

 
 

Bedford and Pickett all to come out of today. 

We are way off it, just a dismal performance.

27 points flatters us.

    How are the umpires still so blind? 
    the crowd noise means nothing

    Predicted it, probably all West Australians, it's the ones they haven't paid to us.

    absolutely

    The result in isolation is ok, but the performance was ****house. Anyway, it matters little at the moment.

    Yes but he wins the ball and has a crack, more than a lot of others

    Worst part of the 10 week break is that we have time to build up our hopes again.

    That allows the team to kill our hopes twice in one season.

    All of this.


    Great handball from Bedford and goal to Kozzie. Something to look forward to. 

    27 points, can already see Goodwin’s presser. “Had some great opportunities early to put scoreboard pressure on, they capitalised on a 5 minute lapse at the end of the first quarter, we weren’t efficient with out ball use. At the end of the day that last patch in the first quarter was the difference.”

    He won’t be asking for accountability, he won’t be honest that there are players that are just not doing enough. 

    FWIW Viney, Bedford, and Kozzie made that sh—show worth watching.

    @Lord Nev how's Simpson's 1 ruck idea going? Gawn getting smashed by Nik Nat AND Hickey. Making one of the best rucks in the game look like a simpleton.

    Geez imagine being the sort of person that, with everything going on, jumps on the internet to restart a footy argument.

     

    We need Yze to be coach, he has coached under the coach of the century. Goodwin is a Essendon reject a team that has done nothing for 20 years. We need Hawthorn's game plan not Essendon's.

    We are nowhere near being a contender I’m afraid. On the evidence of today - one game of course - we have not progressed at all. If anything we looked worse.
    Not  that it matters now.

    Our kicking is deplorable. 

    I have used that sentence for 15 years as my main gripe and nothing has been done to fix it.

    Didn't help today that about 14 of our players were pathetic.

    • 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.
