Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler.

Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it.

The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again.

A nerve shredder coming up folks

    On the plus side, we couldn't play any worse and are 2 points down.

    The obvious negative being we couldn't play much worse...

    Hibberd is playing well.

    Keeps his spot no doubt next week. In Jetta, Out Petty.

    Our forward pressure which has been a trait of ours this year is almost non-existent.

    What a pack of whingers these Hawthorn supporters are. Every free kick to us is apparently a travesty.
    We are holding up well and haven't allowed them to get off the chain. They have also done a great job in closing the game up. However, we need to get our act together on forward fifty entries. We need to find more run and dash heading in as the pinpoint, lead up game is allowing them to pick us off too easily.

    Not really. The chop of the arms was there. they have paid the obvious ones to us. It’s the 50-50’s that are not being called for us

    14 frees to 6 our way. Multiple goals from frees. Agree with those frees you're talking about but I dont think im that far wide of the mark.

    Lever is amazing and Max is great. Jones and Petty are shocking. Jackson needs to hold his marks. And it would really help they all could kick!

    We seem to have lost that mid to forward connection again! And set shot accuracy!!! 

  • Quote

    We seem a bit rattled and the Hawks brought it today. A bit of composure, clean it up in the second half and keep at it, then we should pull away. Need to respond and not drop the heads

    technically it was Hibberd for May, and Fritsch for Petty.

    but i see your point

    2 F50 tackles. No longer doing what has made the difference lately 

    Still time to tidy it up. Viney will come out firing after coping a low blow

    Hopefully he can fire them up

    Hawks are playing just as bad as us the only difference is our poor kicking

    Loving Jackson’s work around the ground. He’ll be unstoppable if he starts clunking marks more consistently.

    Spot on.

    And if Melksham plays like this for another half Ill start writing angry letters to the club again.

    I don’t care if it’s ugly. We just have to win from here. We’re killing ourselves with our skills which are WAY down.

    Legitimate teams win games like this.

    Just need to get it done.

    So May and Fritta are big outs in case anyone was wondering.

    A better quarter than the first at least. Backline just starting to get their [censored] together. Without much confidence I think we’ll get over the line but geeze if we play like this we’re in for a hiding next week.

    Really happy with Hibbo’s game. The biggest positive so far.

    could not see why it was paid

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
