Bowser looks great and Dogga with 4 goals is turning it on.

 

What a difference kicking straight for goal makes!

    Dom Viney.

    That's harsh on Tyson. Don't think that even he got caught that often.

    I do like Viney but he's just trying to do the impossible too often.

    Good job everyone! except Viney you can rot in the 2's forever and Harmes you can do the same if you cant kick easy goals. 


    I’d like to see Koz get around it more. He just needs to get that spring back in his step. When he’s feeling dangerous opposition clubs get so nervous, and it’s great to watch.

    You’re joking right?

    He always got caught holding the ball, always.

    FMD Garry Lyon is a miserable campaigner. Was a great player for us but not convinced at all he's still invested in the club. 

     


    The key to is and always will be tackling pressure.

    Can’t fault much, but Harmes and Viney kill me. 

    Neither has learnt to take the first option and Harmes can’t hit a single target. 

    Really want to see them lift their game, as they should be copping a bake from Goodwin. 

    Loving the forward pressure. Brown’s looked really good and that helps TMac, Fritsch and Jackson get free and hit the scoreboard. Oliver incredible and Lever, Petty and May solid.

    A week is a long time in footy huh. The confidence we’ll be getting from this is very important

    For me I think this is Viney trying to find form. He has been injured and not in the team also trying to find match fitness. What a good opportunity to try and find some of that touch. He is getting the ball and once that confidence comes back he will be the bull he was again!

    Feel quite bad for Viney. He seems so out of place in this team. Doesn't seem to be "one of the boys" and tries to do too much.

    Also getting FAR better looks at goal, looking more shallow and straight as opposed to deep in the pocket.

    Hes an absolute mess of a player.

    Needs to FRO to Casey and learn to play football. This guy will kills us come finals.

    The issue I have is Goodwin is unfortunately too soft to drop him.

    Absolutely spot on comments as usual Dazzle

    I’m not satisfied, half to go and there were bad habits creeping in at the end of the quarter. We have a big opportunity to get some good form today and get some huge confidence. That will all be undone with a mediocre/poor second half.

    Yep spot on. BB50 leading straight rather than 45 degree angles into the pockets....who'd have thought!?

    I'm not denying that but my point was that I didn't see him get caught at the same rate that Viney is today.

    Anyway, Tyson's been out of the team for three years, so let's get back on topic.

    Jones would actually be better than Viney at this point. Smarter with the ball and seems to be more adaptable.

    Magnificent second quarter. That being said, confidence can be a double edged sword.

    Dare and dash are required to open teams up. We have shown plenty of that. It’s manic, relentless and inventive.

    It can also lead teams to unwise and presumptuous disposal. The Fritsch and BBB forward entries are case in point. BBB was right to be dirty on the former for torching him, and then proceeded to lose all moral high ground with that unrealistic shot.

    Dogga is having a day out. The opposition isn’t overly organized, but you can only play against the opponent presented to you. He’s also fixed his kicking from beyond 35 out, which is a credit to him.

    Bowey is a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t big on blooding more newbies leading into September, but he’s shown poise beyond his years.

    Clarry may need to be the medical subbed off alas. He’ll be suffering from leather poisoning. ?

    From now on all Melbourne players have to spend 8 hrs on a plane before each game..

    I can kind of see his point about is it good to be playing in a game like this. I mean today looks cruisy but next week we will come up against the Eagles & it will be a completely different game

    Should see if Geelong are still keen on Viney. Worth asking the question

    • 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.
