Premiership contenders don't lose to teams like Adelaide.ย ย ย  We might make a prelim but we wont win the flag.

Theย  Dogs and Lions will beat us the next two weeks.

ย 

Now is not the time for MFCSS fatalism

We'll re-group and go again.

Robbed!!!

Deliberate out of bounds,10 seconds to go

ย 

Umpire [censored] Himself!!!

From the umpires, many obvious and a few criticals as far as the 'crowd pleasers' were concerned. Kept the Crows in the game. Cost us dearly all through the game. Oliver, Tracca and Langdon superb. Harmes much better, as well. Missed Salem's cleaning-up when the ball came to the ground. Jackson is a gun and plays better each week. Great exhibition in the ruck and around the ground tonight.ย 

 

Kinda conflicted. Know it was a loss we had to had, but would much rather it have been against a top team like Bulldogs, than a dud team like Adelaide.ย ย I hope this is a serious wake up call to not get too confident. Maybe theyโ€™ll take the next game more seriously. Iโ€™m worried that we had a pretty good team even though Salem wasnโ€™t playing.

Sad ?

Just to many passengers today, the forward line was terrible.ย  We just panicked fumbled and we're out worked.

ย 


Not too fussed if Sam W leaves our club. He played with little intensity today when we really needed him to contribute.

I guess they had to role the dice but sadly Bbb would have been the better option.

Melksham is not a goid pkayer either.

Crows defence was excellent tonight.

I argued our middield srocjs were low with Jack V out but I got howled down.

Its always two weeks out with Viney which always turns into six.

Hunt is back to his old self. Tommy had a shocker and Jwtta isnt up to it anymore.

We looked tired as well.

It was always going to be tough but made worst by the shocking non decisuons at the end.

Take a bow umps you won a game for the crows or at keast caused a draw.

So unprofessional. Its exactly what was discussed last week in umpires being swayed by home crowds.

Spineless boofheads.

There is no integrity in the AFL. For those umps to not pay those 2 frees near the end really makes you question the professionalism of this competition. If that was a final.. It would be catastrophic. It makes it really hard to unconditionally love our game.ย 

I hope the ladder position of the crows isn't dwelled on... 16th or not, they played a great brand on the day. It's just unfortunate they did it against us (noting full well they would have pumped themselves up to "take it the top of the ladder Dees")

Face it, relying on a free kick in the last seconds to beat a bottom side is not good enough.

Fact is that was right on front of the umpire and he squibbed the decision. Bet if it had of happened down the other end the result would have been different

ย 

BTW the umps are ducking blind. Last quarter 2 decisions costs us big time. barstards.ย 

We lost because too many went against exactly what we've brought all year - selflessness and sacrificing your game for the good of the team.

Too many trying to be the hero. Too many trying to get the easy kick. Fritta's non-goal just summed up a [censored] day at the office.


Salem sorely missed.ย  In for Jetta next week.ย  BBB in for Weids.ย  Viney in for JJ.

Bombing it into fwd 50 didn't let TMac, BF and Weids to get into the game at all.

Well played Adelaide.ย  Hungrier when it counted.ย ย 

Umpiring late in the game was deplorable.

Also just in advance, canย we also have a moratorium on being told to โ€˜lighten upโ€™ or โ€˜weโ€™re 9-1 youโ€™d think someone died round hereโ€™ or any other cool thing that some freedom fighterย wants to say? Most of us will see the light eventually but give us 1 hr at least.

Thank you! I couldnโ€™t agree more. Iโ€™m literally gutted. So your suggestion is a great one.ย But personally Iโ€™m gonna need a little more than an hour. ?

I wish I could be angry. Being disappointedย is so much harder.ย

Yes, but you're not addressing what I said

Our connection to the forward line is pretty bad still and also impacts our ability to maintain pressure once the ball hits the deck. Although I think our effort level was poor for 60% of the game which compounded our poor delivery.

A few blokes wonโ€™t enjoy the loss review during the week.


Some reasons we lost:ย 

Gawn dropping regulation marks and palming it into open goalsย 

May getting done over by a big eared inbred bogan

Trac and Harmes playing like millionairesย 

Jetta is done.

Hunt is only good when Salem is covering his [censored].ย 

Weideman and Fritsch actual liabilitiesย 

JJ nervous with ball in handย 

Poor defensive effort all over the ground in the first half. Lazy, unaccountable football allowing Adelaide to run down the corridor unaccounted and kick easy goals from clearancesย 

Turnovers. Cannot hit the side of a barn.ย 
ย 

ย 

Reasons why we didnโ€™t lose by more:

Oliverย 
Leverย 
Langdon
Jackson in the ruckย

Simply because if that wasnt deliberate then there never has been. Ever.

open and shut case.

Don't forget Jordon. Everytime he touched it he turned it over.

Our skills remain poor

The one thing Goodwin hasn't managed to change

Bulldust

Lots of frustrating cameos tonight.

If only Jackson could mark. He gets to so many contests, and his hands are first to the ball. But he just can't clunk them...yet.

Jordon's kicking is becoming a real worry. For a bloke who is playing so well he consistently produces howlers.

Fritschย and his kicking...ย 

Max in many dumb moments.

And our basic skills - marking, handballing, kicking, and general ball handling was torturous to watch.

But our main problem ย is our midfield. The number of times they waltzed through the corridor in numbers, especially with one running ahead of the play, was infuriating.ย

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

  • 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 yesterdayโ€™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 andย  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.
