Yes that was crap against the Saints, I think we have all established that...

A few points that I noted in our loss tonight :

1. Need I mention handballing to a bloke under pressure?? I think not!

2. Our tackling was nowhere to be seen until the last quarter! Las year our tackling was brilliant and I am just going to put tonights effort down to the fact that it was Round 1 (and yes I know it was Rnd 1 for the Saints aswell)

3. Where the hell was Bizz?? (Will harp on this until he is cemented back in our 22)

4. Has Bate lost speed?? He looked so slow!! Even when he didn't have the ball he was moving like a gorilla! Big pre-season on the weights??

5. Neitz had a pretty good game I thought.... Never gave up and under some heavy double and triple teaming all night.... Great effort skipper!

6. Welcome back Beamer! He looked a little under-done, but all in all it was a sight for sore eyes to see him getting posessions!

7. Miller gave us nothing until the last quarter when all was lost... The boy needs to produce that right from the first bounce... It's not that hard Brad... Just pretend that we have already lost the game before it begins and you should win our best 'n fairest!!

8. I believe Anthony Rock had a big influence on the Saints game plan tonight and it worked a treat!

I could go on foreve with things that annoyed me about our performance, but I am going to bed with only 2 things in mind....

1. We ran the game out pretty well, which says a lot for our fitness.... Again we have bugger all skill, but we ran hard to the end!

2. There is only one way we can go from here.... And that is UP!!!

Bring on the Hawks (I sincerely hope ND does some homework during the week!)

    That is a good point. We seemed to be laid bare as though StKilda new what was coming and we played straight into their hands. The loss of McLean and Wheels took a real edge off us also IMO.

    Yes, both boys were a huge loss! But at the end of the night would it have made much difference? I would like to think it would, but I am not so sure.... I think we were exposed badly by Rock and the Saints.... He would know what works and what doesn't for our running players, and he would also be well aware of our lack of decision making skills in the tight contest!

    I was so psyched for Round 1 and now I feel sick!!

    i dont like to sound like a sore loser but... melbourne were going along fine...

    untill the in the back rule

    the holding the ball rule

    destroyed our confidence

    there is going to be alot of unhappy fans if this rubbish continues.

    never seen a worse performane of umpiring

    it was far from consistant.

    • 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.
