So absolutely what we were worried about with our forward line is happening, our talls seem to be getting in each other’s way. Max needs to go back to protecting space if he’s there, allow Brown, Tommy, and Weid to get an easier look at it. The pack forming is just too much for a contested mark.

    Petracca needs to be a better team man. He’s trying to do far too much instead of giving first option.

    So Yze, you said they were going to make adjustments to get better at centre clearances. It hasn’t worked, we need to work it out.

    It's very apparent at the ground that our small forwards have been [censored] useless. The likes of Kozzie, Spargo and ANB need to lift.

    Trac playing like he thinks he's a world beater. No need to thrill us with every touch, just do the simple things.

    I’m loving the completely biased barracking against us from the commentary.

    ?

    The ABC Radio is worse with that guy that used to play for Carlton... McClure or however you spell his name

    Trac is filthy at himself. I sit near the bench and he was fuming when he came off in the first. Needs to do better.

    Defensively pretty solid. May Lever and Salem playing well

    TMac is best BOG. Where would we be without him.

    Weid ok for his first game. chandler struggling. Reckon i'd prefer an extra small to bring some pressure. Not locking it in there enough.

    Clearance work is a mess. Viney comes straight back in as soon as he's fit.

    Can someone please explain the umpiring to me?

    Sure, when it’s an obvious free, pay it the other way. When it’s clearly not a free, pay one anyway. When one side gets behind pay a free.  When you don’t want to pay a free against your favorite team, invent a new rule like ‘he tried to kick it’!!!

    Why is Gawn pushing forward with the three big guys we already have there???

     

    Elementary game day error. Clearly not necessary. All it does is clog up the forward line and create uncertainty. Either coach's instructions or Big Max is a little slow in working out where to position himself with this re-jigged forward line. Another issue hopefully to be addressed at half-time.


    Chandler deserves some slack but he’s a mile off it. I can’t remember an involvement that was a positive one.

    Meanwhile Weid and T Mac in the side is a thing of beauty.

    Carlton fans say McKay is “unstoppable” 1 on 1 and yet Steven May has won every single 1 on 1. What does that make May?

    Don’t care if he’s injured, May was bathing him well before it too.

    Plenty to improve, but sitting quite nicely.

    I think the forwards getting in each other’s way has been as much is reverting to bombing it in. Especially with Carlton, lower your eyes and there will be pockets of space.

    Petracca will be reminded to do the simple things at half time, and he will be better for it.

    Thank the Lord for TMac. Our clearance work with a dominant ruckman  is schizenhousen.

    Also our crumbers go to the back of the pack, they need to be at the front.

    We got this!

    GO DEEEEZ!!!!!

    Only 2 forward 50 tackles compared to their 10.

    Yep. Anb dissappeared . Kozzie not much.

    Need to move it quicker inside 50.

    • 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 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.
