Well, Pert was talking about playing a recognisable brand of footy...  This is ours right here.  We dominate the play but don't put the opposition away, then have a five to ten minute lapse where the opposition score heavily to snatch the lead off us. 

 

Fritsch just look like he is not getting any enjoyments out of his footy.

Lever had a shocker of a turnover, no doubt about that.

But he hasn't been beaten one on one and has spoiled numerous entries by getting to the right positions.  

 

Max was slaughtered in the ruck and around the ground in the last 5-10 minutes of that quarter. Turned the game.

He's playing on a guy who is 83.

I'll say it again. The ruck position is hugely overrated.

I agree he looks dumb when the flash to him but I think it always looks like that. My issue is the no plan B. I hate it how we never make a move 

Yep you would think in the time he was with us that he would think this isn’t working how I would like maybe I should change a thing or two but not this genius.

Soft and lazy. He has always been like that though


Lever and Melksham are in our leadership team.. they are both sub standard, overated footballers who continue to turn it over or have minimal impact. cant stand them.

Ling's umpiring criticism is something (shady) missed against us?! No mention of anything else whatsoever. But apparently the game has had some "big hits". All Mummy no doubt. Coked up thug.

Ling's a goose.

if you want to something positive for this club VDB then please knock mummy’s head off.

Because he.. er...*coughs* ... bleeds red and blue...?

I don’t care 

he is a stupid one trick footballer 

I can’t see him developing

Not according to the highly paid so called experts.

Each time he lines up for a shot commentators wax lyrical about his exquisite foot skills.

Right before he shanks it.

Yep and when Kossie get a chance of a snap - ‘this is what he loves‘...or ‘look at how great Kelly glides across the ground’. That kind of commentary  is fawning crap. They should just call the game

Are we watching his kicking?

Also the Ch7 commentary team has been beyond disgraceful

You folks bagging Viney, he is having a poor game but last week he was clearly our best. 20 contested possessions and 7 clearances when it was too hard for everyone else. 

He needs to improve his decision making but his effort is unconditional which was our major issue the last two weeks. To trade him would be disastrous. If he wants to leave as he plays with people who pick and choose when to go, I wouldn’t hold it against him

if we had more players with vineys attitude we would not drop games like Sydney and Freo

You almost contradict yourself a little there, mate.

On one hand you say Max got slaughtered in those last 10 minutes, which you seem to hint had a direct impact on their late dominance.  But then you say the position is overrated.  

By your logic, if Max stays on top, we do and as a result we play good footy... which would suggest it isn't overrated.

He plays like a millionaire. Doesn’t do the basics anymore which is what he did so well in his debut season. Has put his feet up after signing a contract.

Make a move after half time Goodwin you moron

Maaatteee how does he teach Viney to use his brain, Gawn and Lever to not turn it over under zero pressure, umpire 22 (I think) to stop being a terrible umpire? The game plan has been working.

Melksham is so bloody annoyiing shouldn’t be out there, making no contribution at all

 

He has done nothing all season but is good mates with goody so it’s ok and was made stand in captain due to his great form this season. Another quality decision by goody. He is full of them ?

Love that they've finally made a move with Melksham, as if to say, you're not getting involved enough, so they put him in a tagging role and have refused to put Harmes in a tagging role all year. Staggering move.

He seems to me to be playing a defensive role on a tagger, in de Boer.

And who in the media will call out Mumford? physical stuff is fine.. swinging round arms isnt..

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!
