No composure in the 50.

STILL no genuine key tall forwards that are reliable kicks at goal.

It's time to bring Brown in for 3 matches or so for Weid.  If that fails then its time to ask Tomlinson to earn his keep in place of May and send May forward for the final experiment before cleaning out our Key Tall stocks at end of season.

Brisbane are more desperate, so much hungrier to win the ball

Nonsense. Look at viney! We’ve just missed a few goal set shots.

    Don't forget the Langdon set shot from 40 out directly Infront 

    Yep missed at least 6 gettable goals, and two definitely should have been goals, kicking ourselves out of it!!

    They are just a touch more polished and structured than us in a higher quality game. Just not taking our chances yet could still pinch it if we get some momentum.

    We’ve kicked ourselves out of the game, every one of Weids kicks were very gettable. Bennell should’ve nailed his. We kick half of those and it’s a goal in it. 

    Our own worst enemies, hard to watch when that happens.

    Gerrard Healy is one of the most insufferable people to listen to, I could list a dozen examples but it’s just constant. 

    We did the same last year at the Gabba when we missed 4 or 5 set shots and let Hipwood off the leash for 15 minutes for 4 goals. 

    Jetta is brave, but he's cooked. His only weapon now is putting his head over it, which he is doing to his detriment.

    Man how I wish Bennell had nailed that goal...

    Lions are much cleaner and we have gone back to wasting the ball.

    They're beating us in the clearances as well which is putting us on the back foot

    They are a lot better than us. We are being schooled with ball use and pressure. We can’t get our hands on the ball in the middle. And we can’t get any continuity with the ball.

    Very sloppy skills. I know it’s wet but Lions much cleaner. Terrible hospital handballs to no one and very little clean possession. WTF is Nev doing??


    Viney tries all day and all night and has the biggest heart, but he just bangs it out anywhere when he gets it....diesnt even appear to look !

    Missed some easy goals

    Did the umpire just make up a new rule, dangerous tackle? Let's consult our dictionaries to check what dangerous means. It could mean a number of things. The umpire needs to be more precise, not make things up on the run. 

    And very poor from Healy saying Jetta ducked his head again. Would he say that about Selwood? I think not.

    Our midfield is getting smashed and boy was Bennell's miss costly.

    I'm still tryna' cool down from that Harley moment.

    Absolutely killed us.

    Me too, I felt myself deflate instantly. In this kind of game it is just a killer.


    Big test this quarter. Cant get blown away or it sets us back massively

    This is what a quality team looks like. 
    Sadly we are a mediocre side. We will get smashed next week too. 

    I want to party with you

    Nearly threw the iPad on that non decision. FFS.

    We need to recruit players who know how to kick. We are our own worst enemy.


    Missed about 7 easy goals. Even with the sh-t umpiring We could have won.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
