Ummmmmmmmm

I think that game was very well coached...

E.g. Jones and Wagner sat out most of the last qrt

A Wagner's true home is the bench. Bench Wagner.

    Some moron commentator ( don’t know his name, don’t care) on ABC radio is talking about the heat and the humidity - currently 17C and 15% humidity.

    Must have his head somewhere warm and dark. 

    Just ignorance . Night time in the alice is great footy playing weather this time of year.  It will help us acclimatise for the warmer weather at finals time too.

    Great win. Well coached by Goodwin setting the game up to be played on our terms. 
    Maybe the “coach killer cult” will go into their shells for a week or two...

    Kudos to Josh Wagner who looked impressive on return.

    Had a couple of early fumbles but was a solid contributor all night.

    Josh Wagner looked a complete different player today.

    No offence to Harmes but Wagner played that half back position better then Harmes ever has this year.

    Steven May, i am sorry for questioning the trade. You are simply magnificent.

    Steven May has to be in AA contention!

    Lock in. Throw away the key. He has shut down every player he has played this year.

    I haven't read everything so apologies if already said, but I reckon that brain fart at the end of the 2nd, probably gave us the kick up the bum needed to control the game when required in the last

    Don't want to hear another word about the trade for May, i think his performances over the season and especially tonight have justified the pick 6.

    A trade special.

    I’ll buy him beers at the pub!*
     

    *beers = 2 beers Steven, and they’ll be zero alcohol too muscles!

    There was a subtle shift in the external rhetoric heading into the game as to aiming for finals and such. 

    There was a huge shift in the coaches box. Training wheels are off. Goodwin devised a plan to counter the Saints.

    Kudos to the Coaching staff we actually stop a run and gun team play on their terms.

    But what the phark were we doing in the 2nd quarter.

    These run on goals has to stop, 6 in a row last week and 4 in a row tonight, you can't allow this [censored] to happen week in week out.

    We'll in Riv tonight, great bit of business that fella.

    So last week Demonland was happy to sink the boots into Goody and co for the loss against the doggies, so by the same token there needs to be big props given to him for the way we suffocated the Saints ball use. You could see at the end they tried to create to the overlap using Hill but our defence still held firm. I would go so far to say this was one of his best coaching performances, certainly on a defensive front. 

    For the players, May was clear BOG. Brad Johnson said for fox footy then that he doesn’t have that game then we do t win and that is spot on. 

    Langdon has been the pick up of the year for us, he was very prolific and mostly quite good. 

    Petracca’s midfield numbers were low but jeez his goals were huge, if it were at a ground with the goal line camera would his goal stand? Not sure. 

    Defensively we did well, but I think by the numbers we might look at this as a game we got away with a bit. We got our early lead and kept the game tight after that. I really thought that last minute of the second quarter was going to bite us. 

    But this is a massive win. Against a team that we traditionally seem to lose to, a team higher on the ladder, and an 8 point game.

    I agree. Wagner stays and we roll Harmes into the forward line / midfield. Give Kozzy a spell. He has been quite poor lately. 

    Rivers stays. Fritsch in for Hannan. AVB out  but for who? Tmac for Brown.

    Tough game to  watch in the last quarter however the Dees  did it for all of us supporters.

    May and Petracca  were the two best players on the ground and couldn't split them. 

    I want to give some credit to Josh Wagner he was consistent all night and he can hold his head high. Well done Josh.

    I agree Wagner was very good, had composure and mostly hit targets

    They disappear when we win, only come out after a loss.

    The nerve of the umpire to call Brown’s kick at the end not 15 metres.

    Called it before we marked it, only because we went backwards. Convinced the umps are under instruction about kicking backwards late in quarters.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
