Hopefully next time we get the wind behind us we will be smart and kick more than we handball.

Nice work from Gus who put himself in the perfect spot. But snuffs it. Gotta nail those.

10 second display of why Melksham will never get dropped

    Brayshaw could've had a hand in 2 as well, but missed. 

    Disappointing finish there.  Should have kicked that.

    Pretty average start but, hey, we lead.  Lots of improvement still to come and we generally start slow.

     

    Surely a 50 against Papley for being in Brayshaw's protected zone?

    He should have kicked that regardless, though.

    We played poorly but have a 3 point lead. Question is whether the breeze will cause us grief in the second quarter.

    Hope we don't regret missed opportunities now that they have the wind in the second,


    Anybody noticed Brayshaw has a subtle physical similarity to Rod “Tilt” Carter? 

    Midfield. It’s all about the midfield. Swans are playing a spare down back so unless we can win some clearances we will keep battling a congested forwardline which Sydney love.

    Hopefully Weid can get a touch soon.

    At least we rallied late.

    Why does Melksham give away lazy head high frees all the time????

    Great pressure from Sydney then. They’ve got the matchups right so far. Goodwin will have to make a change or three to make a break.

    Will he do it?

    Alarm bells ringing for me we don’t look switched on at all soft tackling, back to just bombing it in and mids hesitating with ball in hand and getting caught or smothered. This quarter against the wind will be a test of how much we want this.

    Bit hard when our forward 50 entries have been abysmal.

    Spargo. Great snap but that was Wagners goal. Great pressure/spoil

    • 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.

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?
