Say what you like about Melksham (I’ve said a lot) at least he can kick the ball which is something we need.

Bowey looks like a 100 game veteran, didn’t see that happening so quickly.

    It’s disgraceful umpiring, but we know that’s 90% odds-on to happen over there, worth about 6 goals a game. The bigger question is why we’re slowing the game down at the wrong times. No run-past, no quick decision making to expose their lack of speed. They also beat us in contested ball that quarter. Don’t correct that, we don’t win, particularly not with their crowd umpire advantages. Simples.

    Great finish Pickett!!!

    Need Tracc and Fritter to get more involved

    Frisch doesn’t like playing in the rain, he gets wet. 
     

    Gawn needs to stand up big time and lead this team to a win. Been in a slump for too long.

    Frittatas opponent is wearing him like a glove.

    They would’ve identified him as our leading goal kicker and put some work into him.

    We are completely and utterly reliant on Tracc and Oliver. We are an absolute rubbish football team without them being switched on. It really concerns me.

    If either of them gets injured or suspended, we are a mess.

    Those two need to pull us out of the hole again because the rest of our midfield are pluggers

    Name a team that isn’t completely reliant on their two best players? It’s an odd thing to be annoyed about.

    Luke Jackson is close to BOG. This is close to the best game I've seen him play at AFL level.

    the second quarter was pretty poor. our players are too slow at moving the ball on. May needs to look for open players rather than kicking down the line all the time. we need to lift and lift badly. The umpiring has not been great, but what do you expect in eagle land. Too many of our players are not chasing and putting pressure on the eagles defense or midfield.

    The more I see of Bowey the more I'm impressed. He just does not waste the ball. 

    We just need to get back to what we did so well in that 1st quarter.

    One thing about Max.. he gets intimidated. Wouldn’t play him in the middle. Jackson a much better ruckman 

    Ridiculous comment.

     Clarry and Trac need to lift otherwise we're not winning this game

    To be fair, so does the rest of the midfield and forward line.

    Have notice that. Has had no space. Sheppard is a good player.

    His improvement has been great.

    He's about 6 inches shorter with wet hair.

    But we need to make sure he doesn’t get isolated in a one on one coz there is nothing of him and he won’t win many.

    Not sure I like Kossie and Spargo milking free kicks Selwood style. 

    No way Kozzie milked that - maybe Spargo.

    That’s some kick by Pickett.

    Yeo tackled him high, ended up on the ground beside him. Rolled on to him and held him down for a good fifteen seconds.

    It was a fantastic goal but geez that should have been fifty but the umpires are too gutless to call it.

    Yet the 100 gamer wastes it when he has to think.

    Needs to get a few tips from Cotchin. His hair hasn’t changed for 10 years

    Jackson and Bowey have been terrific.

    I wish a few others would follow their lead.

    • 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?
