Kinda felt like Carlton played better that quarter.

What a damn shame they're 7 points down to show for it.

    Our zone is starting to kick in. The Baggers were picking through us way too easily in the first 10 minutes.

     

    I take it from the comments that BT is being BT. You can't go wrong with the mute button folks


    You can see with Chandler coming in why they prefer a settled side. Can't question his effort, but throws a bit of a spanner in the well-oiled machine. Unless I'm reading it wrong, they wanted Jones in for Melksham, and you can understand why.

    Chandler is off the pace at the moment so I'll cut him some slack. You'd expect it'll take him a quarter or two to get in to a rhythm with the game and the team. The Gawn/Brown one was a shocker though.

    Great mark from Weid at the end of the quarter, and great kick to TMac. 

    The part missing for me is the voice from Brown on the first one and then other fwds for Chandler to stay down. 
    Better voice all round and it’s 2 shots on goal or goals.

    I love how we've finished, and paced games this year but gee we look a little slow out of the blocks. I hope it's not complacency. 

    The Blues are NOT THAT BAD. They only lacked polish and experience against the Doggies, and we only just scraped past them last year (I know we are a different team know), so they should not be underestimated.

    Yes we should beat them, yes we're a much better side, but these things often mean nothing. Got to keep up the pressure today.

    Yep...two rookie errors there.  He'll learn but wouldn't want to make too many more this match

    Yep - I swore at Gawn in the first instance but then thought maybe it was just a lack of player talk; Brown's job as the leading in forward to call Gawn in or out. Happy to apportion equal blame to two experienced players though.



    Looks like the holding the ball correction starts today

    How is a push in the back deemed HTB? I hate these [censored] umpires. Fair dinkum!

    • 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.

      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?

    • 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.
