Collingwood bathwater must taste real good.

 

Midfield beaten

Forwards couldn't execute.

Cant bring that weak stuff against good sides.

Gutted!  That's all for now.


 

Kills ya everytime this team.


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. 


Doggies played very well today; they’re a hot and cold side and today they brought their best.  We weren’t able to match them.

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.

  • 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?
