If Carlton can kick 18 what does that tell you?

St Kilda didn’t turn up.

 

Question without notice (or intelligence, really):

If St Kilda has Max King, is his twin at Gold Coast Min King?

tell's me they had a purple patch. they've been as inaccurate as us for most of the season

 

Not sure if it’s the Olympics, or a learned behaviour to emotionally protect myself, but as our form slips I feel like I am slowly disengaging from the season.

we need to find a way to hold onto the top 4 and then have the week off to re-group for an assault to the summit - and then I can get really excited again.

    Have lost all confidence. I think we peaked too early and have now hit a wall.

    GC are in slightly worse form than us but are at home.
    50-50 game I reckon. 
    unless we get our fwd line connection working a lot better this will be very close. 

    This is season defining today. A good solid win can be the springboard into the next (hopefully) 8 weeks. A loss and we will most likely finish 5th or 6th and a potential early finals exit, and after the start to the season we had, this would be a huge fail.

    This is on the leaders today. They need to show the way and get the team back playing the type of football that is way too good for teams like the Suns. If they don't, then I have serious doubts about whether this list can take us to where we want to be. Over to you Max, Jack, Jake........

    Expecting a five goal plus win. We'll correct the goal kicking woes and enjoy some added run with Bowey and Sparrow. Think we'll be a bit too physical for their kids.

    We also need to tag Touk Miller.

    Sadly that is so true.


    I got a good feeling we’ll finally respond to this horrible run of form today and win comfortably. 
     

    It’s time for Ben Brown to step up and kick a bag. If he can find some form over the next few weeks I will go into September with far more confidence.

    Dont know what to think.

    I believe we could win but overall my level of enthusiasm seems to have been dented very much.

    Its hard to shake our total slump in form and I wonder know if the boys really want a flag.

    I guess its put up time and we will see.

    Talent and injuries are not an issue.

    Its all a question of motivation.

     

    Queensland has just gone into lockdown. Standby Guys. Does the plane land or turn around.

    Today we find out something about the DNA that Goody keeps mentioning in his pressers.   
    How hard are we prepared to work to protect the gains already made this season?  Are we prepared to sacrifice individual accolades for the good of the team?  Do we have it in us, to fight our way out of a form slump (like champion teams do)?  Are we serious contenders?
    Critical game with enormous consequences for our season.

    I can't see how we will be able to fly out from GC to Perth tonight.

    They've got a 'quarantine corridor' 

    Ps... really sorry for you and the last minute announcement/derailment of attending the game.

    3 days only

    Come on guys that's only the proverbial "circuit breaker" and of course they have the "best" CHO in the world

    Far out, so hard to get excited about anything these days. Play 5 minute quarters so we can be out by 4pm.


    That sucks about COVID - world seems like it takes 2 steps forward and 1 back. We'll get there!

    God I wish we could just smash a team by 10+ goals and be able to sit back and enjoy it. 

    Praying BB kicks 4+

    Anyone know how much goes into the Club that wins the GF this year? Is it usually the same?

    I saw some of the Blues scores last night between ads on Ch7 Olympics coverage.   Was it 14 gls 2 behinds at one stage?

    I saw that with dismay at would could have been the back end of our season if we had done that only once or twice.

    Seems to be a lot of that.

    The energy and excitement that propelled us to an incredible start seems to have dried up and vanished. Its not just the supporters.

    Maybe they can recapture that mindset and performance but its hard to see it happening after the Hawks game.

    This is a group of players who can beat anyone....have almost zero injuries but has a signficant problem now between the ears.

    If Goody can turn it around and brings us back to the club we were for the first twelve weeks he will be a master coach.

    • 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?

      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.
