     West was won.

    We went up against a side which was playing for a spot in the 8.  We were belting them, until the weather intervened.  Once again, the umpiring was atrocious.  I'll take a win the West anytime.

    Fritsch - Did Bugger All

    VDB - Worse than Fritsch

    Umps - Played for Eagles

    Absolutely nailed it 

    How does Vandenburg get chance after chance. Was slow and dumb and missed two definite shots that should have been kicked

    I think this is your best work Joeboy, that said, a touch understated on Bowey & Petty who I thought were outstanding.

    James Harmes! A bit more humble pie as a late night snack for several Demonlanders, who wanted him banished. You know who you are.

    Hunt - Taylor calls Langdon

    ...and the camera is right on his face as he's getting his ankle checked by the physio on the boundary line.

    To be fair he couldn't see his number.

    Also says gawn will struggle with tbe distance from 45 metres. 

    The bloke is just about the longest kick in tbe team!

    Petty doesnt do much wrong. Very good player as is Bowser who will be the most inexperienced player to play in a Demon premiership in at least 60 years.

     

    Enjoy the next 6 weeks fellas.

    TV commentators are dckheads mate. Amateurs.  One of the clowns was going on about how Melk cracks in week in week out.  I mean do some research. Every part of that sentence is wrong.

     

    Sidenote: Melksham always plays well after a spell and then fades after a month or so.

     

    Double sidenote: VDB is pretty ordinary and Sparrow is solid, i like him.

    I agree on Gawn but Rivers can kick it post high from 50m out and go 20m into the stands. I'd back him to be the longest kick at the club.

    Umps hate Melbourne

    Thid state of affairs has become so very obvious. What can we do about it? It may not be hatred from the umpires, but it is condoned, approved, never questioned by the AFL and its glorious myth of an equal playing field - highighted by an abnormal free kick differential between sides playing the one game of football, week in and week out.

    In the Dees' case, any progressive movement of the ball is interrupted and directly interfered with in a very arbitrary manner where the consistent application of 'rules' and 'interpretations' is grossly prejudicial and arbitrary to their continuing disadvantage.

    It is time for Pert to directly question the AFL itself with mounting evidence of such flagrant abuse. There is a template for the detriment of the MFC in the approaching finals - well rehearsed and grossly invalid - but no-one seems to care.

    Fritta to rest / be managed due to all the head bashing he received from the Eagles. Replace with JSmith.

    Gawn swings his foot and leg in an arc to the left when kicking for goal. He should lead his kicking action from the knee with a bent leg and smoothly extend the knee joint when making contact with the ball.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
