We played an extra back due to the wind. Makes sense. Would expect normal numbers this quarter.

 

jayden hunt a good in - has kicked our entire score

    Lucky not to be 3-4 goals down. Some of our tackling has been very poor

    lets see how we go with the wind folks.   

    I look forward to us missing targets for a different reason in the second Q

    Why the hell are we kicking to Pickett in a 1 on 3?
    Why the hell do Fremantle look like they're playing with a dry ball and we aren't.
    Why the hell is Fritsch in the god damn backline, he's our highest goal scorer of the year.

    Once again, have lost it before the first bounce.

    Absolutely [censored] deplorable from the MFC.

    The old Goodwin goaless quarter. Consistent.

    I agree. Couldn’t have played much worse.

    The damning stats for me are:

    Tackles - we had 7 for the term.

    And marks - they were still able to take 29 marks in that weather.  We gave them too much time and space to switch the play and hit up the short 20-30 metre leads.  Pressure needs to lift big time.

    7 scoring shots to nothing in 15 minutes of play. I don't care what the conditions are. That's awful.

    At  least we kicked to the boundary and slowed the tempo. 

    Pickett is unfortunately a massive diver/flopper call it what you want, plays for a free every time he goes near it resulting in a turn over.

    this needs to be addressed

    Every time we go inside 50 it’s 4 to 1.

    Counted at least 3 blind bombs into our f50 that quarter.

    The most attacking play was Viney kicking it to no one and hoping Langdon could run on to it.

    Did we do that vs Swans? I know they did

    Why do 95% of hack kicks out of a contest go to the opposition? In contested footy there are always a lot of these but it seems ours never land with one of our free guys.

    Name of whatever shiraz you're guzzling pls Uncle


    I remember a game out at Waverley in the 90s. Rain. Hail. Wind. One of the ad boards on the scoreboard blew away. It was a scoring spectacle. I think we won by 30-40 points. Against Eagles I think.

    The state of the game at the moment is utterly horrid. And once again we are an indictment on this sport and league.

    When you look at the stats, we're doing okay.  We lead in clearances and contested possies.

    However, the same problem arises - when we go forward, the ball is hitting the deck, and they run it out with ease.  There were at least three times they ran it from half back to inside 50 without us touching it.  Our set up is letting us down big time.

    And let's be honest - these conditions don't suit guys like ANB, Vanders, Smith etc.  Fumbles and turnovers galore.

    Didn't know that 50% disposal efficiency was considered okay...

    Compares to 75.3% for Freo

    Really stupid players and horrible coaching. Still, three quarters left to atone!

    What was the 50 for? Was it back chat?

    Clearly mouthed off. Cost us a goal. Watching Lever make me sick.

    On the upside, we haven't 'gone missing', as we haven't turned up yet! To be fair though, there's nothing stopping us turning up, then going missing.

    Same crap each week. Season on the line and we have 4 tackles in the wet? Lead some stats but poorly coached and no PLAN! Kick it to Max on every kick in. Jeez Simon is out of his depth. Go already. Weak as [censored]. Should be game over already tbh.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
