    Absolute trash football. We need to sort out the forwardline fast. 

     

    Got given a couple free tickets to this game from a family friend who’s an Essendon supporter. In the Middle of their reserved seating. They’re so feral ??

    Gee they flood back...3 against 1 everytime.....

    We can win this...just need that 3 goal run on

    I'd take that 10 times out of 10 if If were an Essendon fan. We threw everything at them for 1 goal 5. Bombers up and about.

    Kozzies delivery poor tonight

    Whole team delivery poor..add the coach too, we have no forward and it looks like it .

     

    what’s with the handballs going higher in the air than distance traveled 

    .

    wake the [censored] up melbourne 

    Glad the break came when it did then. We need to reset with an understanding of how they are trying to play us. 

    Got to work out our plan forward of the ball. Leading forwards and one deep is the go.

    Viney looks off the pace tonight.  Would have Harmes in the middle (running pretty hot of late) and Viney up forward when not benched.  Only minor time in the middle pls in his first game or two back.

    Please Melbourne don’t let this be the start of the end. We can’t keep losing to mediocre teams and expect to win premierships. 
    Big mistake not playing a tall tonight. Perfect conditions so far.

    Bomners with numbers back every time.

    Bb out I just dont get.

    Has the club got the sooks with him?

    We should be winning with our fwd entries but we aint.

    We are relying on Spargo to mark inside fifty.

    Sure we keep sides from high scoring but we cant score ourselves.

    We kick an abysmal score against the pies and we drop sw and replace him with jack v.

    The scoreboard doesn't reflect how dominant we were that quarter. We desperately need to start taking our chances and stop allowing Essendon to look capable of scoring when they get the ball in their forward line. This was a problem we had in 2019.

    If only we had a full forward to kick to.

    Thought our forward line was poor but then realized we don’t have one. 
     

    poor effort 70% time in our forward line and we did nothing with it. poor kicking, poor marking. they are getting their running game going with a free man on the overlap and we are not covering. Need to all lift their game.

    Holding not paid anymore?

    Not for us. HQ need the ladder compacted. Us winning does not result in that.

    An Oakridge Yarra Valley Pinot Grigio for me. As a starter. What follows will determine what unfolds.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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?
