Jones, Tmac and AVB we can't carry anymore

Have to tap the first two on the shoulder and AVB we simply can't take into 2021

    I think the flood gates will open QTR three and we will begin to convert and we will take a 5 goal lead into the last, we look an absolute class above. If the umpiring was fair we would be 2-3 goals further ahead right now.

    I had a front wheel drive Magna with a smaller turning circle.

    That's offensive to the Magna.

    Enjoying the bronx cheers from our fans at the ground when we get a free kick. Keep it up.

    Clear lift in effort in the middle that quarter. But still lost the CP count.

    -12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead.

    Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it.

    Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well.

    I think Fritsch is playing decoy at FF which I’m not mad about. 
    No shocker to lose the ruck against two proper rucks when we have TMac and 6 gamer in there. 
    We need to win more contested footy in the middle. Do that and we should win.

    Jones was a forward line inside General that Qrt

    Perhaps a new role

    Trac would be up there with Dustin Martin as one of the most fearsome players in the game if he could just hit those errant handballs and dinky kicks. It always seems just always 1-3 metres from being a ultra clean disposal.  He is great to watch regardless.

    And he is still young :) and developing..

    what has happened to the umpiring of late. we got slaughtered everytme we touched a north player in the first quarter. countless frees against north were not paid, players legged, pushed out in marking contests, so many holding the balls not paid, is a disgrace and a blight on the game.

    Oh calm down mate. The umpires are coming off a 4 day break.

    After not touching it in the first term, I thought Jones had a very good second term.  6 touches and few score involvements.  He had some real influence out on the wing.

    Really liked Angus so far, Jackson trying really hard but he’s just 10cm worse off. 
     

    Need to really keep going hard in the next two quarters. Come on demons!!!!

    Jones has been ok. Involved in some good forward movement. 
    The disappointment for me is Melksham. Captain needs to stand up. Been soft in the contest. Not good enough. Needs to go hard and smash some contests.

    I like the inclusion of 'should' in that sentence.

    Nothing is ever set in stone for us.

    11 - 5 scoring shots and yet just 5 points up. We look more dominant - just need score board pressure. Umps again sub par - better though in the 2nd quarter. 
     

    Need to put them away in the 3rd quarter - they are just hanging on.

    How was his kick that should have been spoiled over the line that Weid fortunately ended up marking and then his up and under to the North defender, instead of lowering his eyes.

    The guy is finished and should have retired at the end of 2018.

    Melksham, Hannan, Spargo, Fritsch and Weideman have laid 4 tackles between them.

    Surprisingly, Melksham has 2 of them (Hannan and Spargo 1 each).

    Ok Jones has been good - but this has to be his last year is what I'm saying 

    Tmac + AVB included

    At least from an MFC perspective

    Even to think that I think we should win is some sort of an achievement.

    Loving the Weid tonight. Great hands, gets into good spaces, and look at that - some delivery! He should be converting those chances, but I'm not too upset about that, everything else is falling into place. Been a good string of games.

    If we can kick the first couple of the second half then I really think we can put the foot down like we did against the Crows last week.  We are clearly the better side, but we're allowing North to stay in the game which gives them a sniff.  Take that away and I'd like to think we can win the game.

    what is frustrating is that the commentators are not talking too much about the umpiring. They are watching the same game as us and can see exactly the same thing as us, they should be calling it for what it is. The melbourne players that took a mark after the north player front charged him and knocked him over in the forward line and while the melbourne players was on the ground punched the north player in the leg pretty meekly an in all and it got reversed. really....

    Getting coathangered & not receiving a free has nothing to do with discipline.

    I rarely get into the umpires but if this keeps up my TV screen is unlikely to survive this game

    3 Dropping the balls in front of umpire 31 not paid to us and then pings our player after 1 second for holding the ball. Is there such a thing as an Umpires Adviser who watches their umpiring?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
