Game over. Umpiring is a [censored] disgrace, but we missed our opportunities.

We desperately need to improve our goal kicking accuracy. We never kick more goals than points and it’s directly costing us games now.


FMD.  Salem held without ball - no free - goal to Dogs who just cannot miss

Our forward disposal is just disgraceful.  Thanks Goodwin Williams and Yze 

We will win this.

    We look awful. Viney Langdon Harmes Salem Spargo ANB giving us absolutely nothing. 
    Once again relying on too few to do too much.

    great we give away another goal in the last minute - great defensive football

    they have 10 scoring shots to our 9 and lead by 19 - brilliant. Gotta love our forward coach.

    tough conditions, but we are nowhere

    Not a chance in hell we get close to winning the flag 

    we don't have enough outside class

    Been saying it for years 

    Not to mention our forward line is trash

    Time to start injuring them to compensate for the unfair umpiring.

    Move onto next week. We cannot win this.

    Typical shizen goal kicking and the umps have 100k on the doggies

    Yep. All over. Disgraceful umpiring, rubbish football. Not within a paddock of finals-worthy intent.

    How exactly?


    Don't believe the stats our mids are getting smashed, our forwards are woeful.

    There is no question which team has dealt with the conditions better and the best team overall.

    The scoreboard absolutely reflects that.

    Umpiring not good but not the difference.

    We will see what our players are made of after half time.

    When TMac is quiet we struggle big time. But the umpiring and missing 3 sitters we coud be still in the game.

    our goal kicking is our downfall unfortunately we lack skillful kicks like Breust for Hawks

    First off our kicking for goal is what’s made us be 21 points down. BUT FAIR BLOODY DINKUM THE UMPIRES MIGHT AS WELL BE WEARING BULLDOGS UNIFORMS. THEY ARE THROWING, THEY ARE BEING TACKLED BUT DON’T DISPOSE OF IT, THEY ARE BEING GIVEN AN ARMCHAIR RIDE THIS ENTIRE MATCH. Chalk at least two goals against the umps. 

    On our side, we have to take our chances. 0.2 from Brown isn’t only disappointing, it’s deflating. Not just that he misses but that they are supremely gettable kicks, you would expect ANY AFL player to kick it let alone a FF who’s job it is to do exactly that. We actually had quite a bit of territory and decent opportunities but yet again butchered them. We have regressed back to what we did most of last year. 

    Worst part is, I’m still in hotel quarantine after watching us have they great run earlier this year and I’m genuinely wondering whether it’s impossible for Melbourne to be a decent team while I’m in the country.

    Seriously if BBB doesn’t kick a match winning bag in the second half he needs to be dropped.  Paid the big bucks and hasn’t looked remotely like kicking either of those set shots.  
    Those misses are just totally and momentum killing

    I didn't realise when we signed BB that we were signing a key forward with the kicking yips. ??

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
