The Dogs are a side who have a game style that we can't handle.  They love to flick out that quick handball to a player on the outside, and they are a terrific team off half back.  Their man three - D

Let's get the glass half full bit out of the way. We were never any good but never really out of the contest, even in the fourth quarter we were challenging at various times. The Dogs were also wildly

I'm trying to fathom why we would play a head to head running game in the third quarter against a strong breeze. I'm sure there's more than that but...boy oh boy

Bog ordinary effort but credit to the Doggies who played the conditions much better.

Our old friend ****ty disposal/ turnover played a top game.

There's a few blokes up for a rest next week you'd reckon, which is now a make or break game.

What have you got Goodie?

Utter disgraceful.

Melksham, Harmes, McDonald,  Hibbo, Fritsch, 

All disgraced the jumper.

Goodwin shown up for a poor coach he is. Plan B? Where was that Goody? [censored] clueless as usual.

What a stinker!  They waltzed away from half back, we jogged around the park.  Backline were superb, Kudos to Weideman and Fritsch in the f50.  Beaten comprehensively.  No system to stop them, poor skills (maybe the conditions) and wilted completely under pressure.

Really disappointing across the board, with only a few who can hold their head up.

Kozzie has some spark, but lots of flaws (pushes in the back too much).  COuldnt get near it with any value today.  

They need another kick up the bum.  This measures us as a mid table also-ran team.

We played two bottom sides and a severely depleted collingwood on a short break. 
We needed to prove ourselves against a good midfield today and we were shown up.

Teams always get us with pressure and run.

We have no answers.

We are not that good.

Death, taxes and Melbourne being found under pressure. Nothing more certain in life. 
 

When the heat is on we fall apart. That is players and that is coaching. I don’t mind wanting to go head to head, but when that very very clearly was not working, did anyone in the box think to make a change? 
 

I am fed up being downhill skiers. This is yet another wasted season. Even if we make finals, we are no chance to beat anyone in the 8, so what is the point? 
 

Sadly Hibbo, Melksham, Pickett, Hannan, Spargo, Harmes and McDonald are just not good enough to be in the 22 right now for a variety of reasons. We got nothing from our star mids, which is an ongoing issue in tough games. And our structure is an absolute joke that falls apart quicker than a house of cards in a tornado.

We are not, the real deal. 
 

Will be a miracle to make finals but we’d only be imposters if we did.

Goodwin that’s why, he always has the team try win shoot outs against the wind opposed to turning it into a bog for a nil nil draw. Absolutely rubbish coaching.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
