Worst part about Tmacs performance is that Baku Khamis is playing on him and beating him

    We have never had a poor pre season to only go on and dominate the year.

    Beating the premiers not good enough for ya?

    Far out, bit less caffeine for some of you blokes I reckon.

    Harmes also cooked. Absolutely does no damage 

    Really disappointed with his game today. Was he supposed to be on Bont? Just no leadership by him in there.

    It’s a practice match right. Dogs seem intense compared with us.
     

    No use tagging the Bont. He’s going to be out with leather poisoning 


    Red and blue witches hats. 

     

    All signs point to Omg.

    Yea sure have stars out but all these blokes need to be able to play. Skills and intent missing by way too many.

    Tmac should probably hang up the boots as should a few of these umps.

    We’ve started with all the tenacity of a wet blanket. Midfield is absolutely getting destroyed and nice to see Bontempelli alone again. 

    I thought we learnt last year when he destroyed us. Without Clarry and JV, our midfield is struggling v Dogs. 

    Painful even for a practice game. Quite a few mids missing today but the ball movement and clearance work is still some of the worst in the comp. Its still hard to see what the intent really is and It seems the players feel the same way.

    Baker, sparrow, harmes, spargo,  Vandenberg are a big no from me. Depth is really really poor

    i know its a practice match and we have personnel missing but its not good signs. can't hit target cant hold tackles and wont chase hard enough

     

    One thing that hasn't changed 3 dees up for the same mark

     

    I know its early days but effort is effort

    The cream is very clearly rising to the top. They are destroying us in every aspect of the game. We look lost. 
    Our skills are woeful. Mark Williams has a lot of work.

    Hasnt been great but he chased more than many.

    Makes you wonder what our game plan is this year. Seeing absolutely nothing that resembles a game plan. Cattle aside we should have some form of game plan or we are cooked as soon as we cop a few injuries

    Ummmm.  He played a good 5 minute burst v Pies last year and kicked 3 goals ... then went missing for the rest of 2020. Surely hung on to a list spot by a whisker.

    Martin is a great pick up for them, can release English forward

    Can’t see anything in Baker or Jordon to make me think either will be a player. Yeah, a practice match but for mine, they don’t have it unfortunately.

    Remember when we traded him for SFA.

    • 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.

    • 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?
